The Odd Fellows Union (TOFU) Recruiting & Competitive

[Chariot of Fire]

Hey guys,

Thanks .44 for your interest. I'll contact you via PM.

And Incan....appreciate the endorsement. He seems a fine player.

Nothing wrong with a slow and cautious process, especially when you have a reputation to uphold. I think any player would be honoured to be considered by your clan and if he can't wait for the admissions procedure then he's not worth having on board.

I think for Knight what clinched it was that we were so new that he could feel a part of something that's going somewhere. Unfortunately for you guys up in the Gods you just have it all to lose

Think Clapper posted his pm a day or two before he joined you guys-- we hadn't even discussed it yet. Dunno what the outcome would've been but I gave him high marks nevertheless. CLA kick seems to be firing up recruiting... or it seems.

Yes, I did inquire about TSMs as you are a very strong, established clan and I could learn a lot from your players and hopefully add some value to the clan. However, after what seemed like an eternity (was it only 2 days? it felt like more -- I was convinced you had forgotten about my inquiry) of not hearing back from TSM I inquired about Tofu as I have always respected the gaming ability and diplomacy of CoF and the rest of the former LoW'ers.

Just FYI -- I gave full disclosure to CoF about my interest in the Monkey's. However, the invitation to Tofu was too good to pass up. It's going to be exciting building the clan from the ground up. I was happy to see that my doubles partner from skyforce, cutebastard71, opted to come over to Tofu as well.

Perhaps we can organize a clan challenge against the monky's soon. You've got a great clan and I'd love to have some great strategic games with you. Also, let me know if you guys ever need a teammate, I'm always open to new games.

If we're able to advance to division one of the CLA I look forward to playing against you guys next year.

Don't ever let this person near your group.
I joined a tournament he started that comprised of 4 quad teams. he made a total of 4 games with the second round game consisting of the following pm

Join game, check thread of for game details.

Then after several pm's requesting him to finish the damn thing, nothing. But this person is still creating new tournaments.
People like this should be banned from starting any more tournaments, because wasting peoples time isn't polite.

I'm pretty sure he applies to anything that moves actually... He wanted into Divine Domination and it seems like he posts in just about every recruitment thread...

Good to know, we'll keep that in mind.

Thanks.

I guess 94% turns taken and poor rating was a reason of polite rejection, but thanks for your comments. It makes us feel warm and fuzzy that you actually care about our small clan and CC community itself .

Seconded

I'd like to join, but i don't seem to stack up to the rest of the members of the group.

hey there,thanks for showing an interest,somebody shall get back to you shortly.

Don't be deterred by either rank or achievement. We're actually a very friendly non-elitist bunch of players who consider an applicant's character and reliability rather than his level or membership status.

I've PM'd you accordingly

CoF

[Gypsys Kiss]

Don't be deterred by either rank or achievement.

In that case may I throw my name into the ring?

[Dako]

Sure. We will check your games, posts and chat/ratings to see if you fit into odd fellows. CoF will contact you shortly.

If this is so, then why did you only give a reason for not having enough team games completed for letting me in? nothing about character or anything.....

Hi jdw, it's very valid point you raise if TOFU only considered an applicant's character and reliability - for which you have exemplary credentials imo (your poor ratings are not justified at all and your chat is always honest and friendly even in the face of adversity, so kudos for that).

It was a bit awkward in your case. If you've heard the phrase "You can't teach an old dog new tricks" then in your case this really applies. With close to 8,000 games played you are really about singles speed, with very little success in team games. There was nowhere in the squad where we could envisage your particular talents being utilized, and in my experience singles specialists generally make poorer team mates than a relative noob who is happy to learn and follow a strategy.

My response to TheForgivenOne was really to indicate that no-one should feel he/she is too unworthy to apply. All applicants will be given due consideration and we are quite willing to bring onboard a low-ranking freemium as a trainee if that's what we think is right. Somehow I think you are above joining us on that basis, given your rank and experience in your particular field.

May I ask....weren't you in Nemesis a short while ago? I see they accepted your application.

Regards,

CoF
