Should we allow new members?

[Ronald_McDonald]

Well, as you can see from the member list topic we have already lost phaethon. I'm not sure exactly why he left, all I know is that from some comments left by him on the B&A IRC channel it suggested that he was killed by some B&A members that didn't know he was B&A. I was not in-game at the time, so I don't know exactly what happened. Currently we have two trial members: Moron and maYhem. If their trial is successful they will be promoted to full members and be granted access to this forum. Only if more members leave the gang (I can't see that happening anytime soon) will we need to start a recruitment campaign. The 'problem' is that B&A are becoming very popular; people are leaving coldthugz (some of our members are previous chicken gang members) and want to join us instead. I know exactly what Bassie means when he says people are pm'ing him all the time about joining. There is also the issue of spies joining the gang, which is another reason we have to be careful who we recruit. The best players to recruit in my opinion are those that have been observed playing on the server for some time, do not have a gang and don't beg to join ours. That way you can get an idea of how good they are and have at least some trust in them.

There are also some players that remain 'friends' of the gang like karizma (there are reasons why he has not been allowed to join), pancakeman etc. But we can't have too many friends, else there won't be anyone for us to kill  At the moment I think we have more than enough members, so if anyone asks to join just tell them that we are not recruiting. If there is a sudden demand for new members, then we will recruit accordingly. I will amend the Member List topic to include an official list of gang friends. Please do pm me if you think there should be someone else on that list.
