Re-application for membership

#1 Post by Blackjack_21 » Wed Sep 29, 2004 12:08 am

Hopefully, I can keep my big mouth shut this time and play like I got a set, so to speak, so I'd like to try again.

Name: Foul Mouth Bass (although everyone knows me by Blackjack_21)

Other info: See my last post for membership, you'll get the gritty details.

I know I probably don't deserve another second chance, but I'll defer to you guys on this one. I won't beg, I won't grovel, and I sure won't let my temper get the best of me, either here or ingame. I'll do my darndest to try and enjoy the game, even when I'm getting pwned (did I really just type that?), and will endeavor to improve my skill, even if it takes 6 months to see any improvement.

Thanks for providing a great set of servers and for providing quality play, free of morons (excluding myself, of course), and for generally helping me have a good time while playing ET.

Hey blackjack. Just remember. Deep soothing breaths. Good air in... bad air out...

Good luck with the app.

YES BlackJack, we all deserve 2nd chance so please restrain your bad emotions or may be just express them differently (beat up your wall or something :wink: ) we really try to maintain a good atmosphere in the forum and on the server...Give it your respect and your best and I am sure that you'll have your 2nd chance.

Good luck and I think you're on the right track...I mean it is hard to look at yourself, acknoledging your "flaws" and trying to be better...I give you my respect for that.

important note: please be active with Lang, post on the forum, show your interest in Lang, come on IRC, Vent...etc...

Just so long as everyone remembers my new nick, things should work out ok. :lol:

Kentho, did you stop playing Adventure Quest? Haven't seen Lord Nova in a long time, Jameth says "Hello, old friend". hehe

BTW, the new nick is "Foul-Mouth Bass". Might change it to "FoulMouthBass" if things go well.

I see...

So, I should consider my re-application re-rejected and go on about my business, or do I actually have a chance at this? I can already tell I've got an uphill battle ahead of me if Psycho himself already has me blackballed. :roll:

I will remember one thing, Psycho. You don't consider me worthy of being a Lang. That's fine with me; you're entitled to your opinion. What matters to me is that I'm trying to make up for past transgressions, and I feel like I've already had the door slammed in my face, and I swear I can hear people on the other side of it laughing at me. Maybe it's just my imagination, but I'm a paranoid person by nature. I can tell things aren't gonna be easy, even if I'm on my best behavior. In your eyes, I'm not worthy. We'll see. Maybe one day you'll have to eat those words, so I'm glad you kept them short and sweet.

Have a nice day, Psycho. I look forward to living up to the new nickname while on NF. I can only hope you change your mind about me, although I can see it's not going to be easy. :twisted:

Your re-app will be approved or "re-rejected" based on what happens this time. Will you have to work harder to atone for past mistakes? Definitely. If you're up to the challenge, go for it. ONLY YOU, YOUR actions, YOUR words, YOUR posts, etc. can influence YOUR application.

Best advice I can give is to relax, have fun, and call it a night (with a v55, ggs all) when you're getting frustrated. :)

Yeah KB is right. I don't have the first hand experience Psycho seem to have but I realize that this is gonna be tough for you. Since you seem to realize that as well and still want to try it say something about your commitment.

It's though changing people's view of you if you gave the wrong impression from the start. It's not just that you need to show your good sides, you need to be active doing it. Posting on the forums, hanging on IRC, playing the game and being on Vent.

Getting Langs to know you is the way to go! Good luck!! 8)

We have a basic guideline in Lang; No cursing at members or non-members publically.
From your past reputation and your disposition in choosing your new name, I am not convinced that is a guideline you would uphold.
