(Closed) The Salt Minds -- recruiting active/dedicated players

[Jinx129]

In an effort to recruit active, committed players, we've established the following basic rules for consideration of acceptance into the group:

#1--Players must be active, being available for group practice a minimum of two times a week.
#2--Players must possess a strong desire to improve as players, not only individually, but as a team/squad. This is a brand new team so all strats and roles will be established going forward. Any and all input is appreciated!
#3--Players must be able and willing to use discord. This is where all team information, planning, ideas, sharing and communication will take place.
#4--Players are required to use voice chat at all times while playing anything other than casual turf wars (which we do some times for fun or to level up gear).
#5--Minimum age is 20. If you're bedtime is before midnight or you have to get "permission" to play, this probably isn't the group for you.
#6--Designated practice times are for exactly that.

Note: this is a mature group and we cuss and make crude jokes.....alot!

Again, these are basic guidelines. There is always some flexibility and exceptions. If you are interested, please copy/paste the following application in a reply.

We are primarily looking for NA players, but will consider other regions depending on availability.

Upon acceptance, members are subject to a probationary period of 30 days, at the end of which either party may decline to continue the relationship. It gives both you as an individual player and the team the opportunity to see if this is a good fit.

[shining_chaos]

Heyoooo I don't know if you're still interested in having new people, but I figure I may as well put my hat in the ring.

Region: NA, Midwest
Time Zone: EST (expected to go to CST in ~June)
Age: 22
Usual times you are available: Wednesday through Sunday I’m available after 5 pm the majority of the time, though Sundays I tend to set up to go to bed around 11 pm because I work at 6:30 on Mondays. My Mondays and Tuesdays are booked through from morning until about 9:30 pm, so not the best for me since I’m exhausted, but I’m willing to be flexible and work myself in.
Are you able to use discord for communication? Should be.
Do you already use Discord? If so, discord name? No, just because I haven’t had a need, but it’s not a problem.
Do you have Skype? Skype name? shiningchaos29
Member of any other groups, communities or clans? Not currently.
How much experience do you have in ranked battle mode? A good amount, since it’s what I primarily play.
Have you participated in any competitive play? Nope.
Are you familiar with map callouts? Not really, only what I’ve picked up from watching some tournament vids.
How would you rate your skill level on a scale of 1 to 10? 6-7 as an overall player, though a solid 8 on my best SZ maps with a .52
Level: 49
Rank: S (I go between high A+ and mid-high S, but am holding S recently)
Do you have alt accounts? My girlfriend’s got an account I pop onto sometimes, and there’s a “group” account I made for a bunch of friends here at college, so sort of.
Main weapon(s): .52 Gal is my primary, and then depending on map I will run the zink mini or splash-o-matic. I’m very interested in picking up a lot of new weapons and getting good all around, and getting back into practice with a charger (I’m good with a ‘hero’ charger, decent-ish with a 3k).
Normal team role (offense, defense, support): offense or support, but that is primarily due to supplementing a lack of offense in random match ranked play.

Did you read the group rules? Mhmm. I know my app isn't stellar, but I'm really interested in learning a lot, so that's why I feel I could be a good fit. Also, I hope it’s okay to note some extra things here, since realistically they can have impacts. I’m good with cursing and language in general, but I am a non-binary trans person (they/them pronouns) and I’m also queer, so if you know language that skews along the lines of homophobic/transphobic/sexist is part of the group, that’s cool just let me know so I can pop my application out. :)
