UPDATE: Upon accepting a couple people into GK, I've made some changes to our thread to reflect what we will be looking for from now on. All the edits I made are written in orange text.

If you have applied before me posting this message, I will still get back to you (if I haven't already) to let you know if we are interested or not. Any applications after this are no longer guaranteed a response (mentioned in the thread with a reason as to why).

Once again, I apologize for being slow and possibly coming across as unorganized. (‘～`；) I appreciate everyone who has been patient with me.

@pinksenkestu and @DoubleC, I've received both your apps and will try my best to get back to you ASAP. ♡

Hi! I'm @gelatobeach, founder, captain, and representative for the squid squad Get Kraken. We play in a lot of the tournaments here on Squidboards, have been around the scene since August, and are a very active squad. More info on us, our members, and our squad in general can be found on our Squidboards squad page here: http://bit.ly/1M9JimA or our Twitter page, @gksplatoon.

The purpose of this thread is to announce that we have decided to open up recruitment for our second team, cleverly being referred to as Got Kraken!

To clarify, the people we recruit will most likely not be playing with the main team in tournaments. However, the second team will enter in tournaments separate from the main team, will play with the rest of us in squads / private rooms / scrimmages, and may participate in the next season of Leagues Under The Ink if things go well. I, along with Jay (one of our members), will be the main captains of the second team.

Currently, we have 5 members on our first team, and 2-5 on the second team (the actual number is not consistent as some of our members have spotty availability). So, to ensure everyone on the second team has playing time in tournaments, we would like to recruit 2-3 people who we know will be consistent and active for most tournaments.

Requirements:
★ 18+ years old
★ S / S+ rank
★ Able to use Discord for text chatting / voice calling (we don't use Skype)
★ Able to play and practice with us often / be active​

Expectations / Rules:
★ We do not tolerate any type of disrespect or rudeness at all. Please be respectful, especially in regards to preferred names and preferred pronouns.
★ Be at least somewhat active. We understand that people have lives outside Splatoon, but a message or two in the server would be appreciated.
★ Be friendly and open to all members of our squad. We may be a Splatoon group, but we are a friend group before anything else. Please remember that when allowing you into our squad, we are allowing you into our friend circle, so we have more than enough reasons to be particular about the type of people we want to be around.
★ Be willing to play in competitive tournaments / scrimmages often.
★ Learn / study our callouts, or have previous experience with callouts.
​
Schedule:
These are the times where we generally play together during the day. Please only apply if your schedule matches up well with ours.

Weekdays: We typically play together anywhere between 6PM EST and 12AM EST. Some of us play later, some of us start earlier.
Weekends: We're all basically able to play all day, the time we start playing depends on when we're available.

If you have read everything above and are interested in joining us, please fill out this application here: http://goo.gl/forms/p17kfOQZql

Recruitment Status: OPEN!

Our recruitment status was put on hold for a bit, but we are officially OPEN once again! We plan to be accepting applications for new members until we have the correct number of people we need.

________________________________________________________________________________________

After filling out the application, we request that you leave a comment here on this thread so we can let you know if we've received it or not. It isn't necessary though.

Afterwards, we will review any applications we receive and get back to you on whether or not we are interested in recruiting you through your preferred contact method. If we are, we will send you an invite to our tryout server on Discord, so we can begin a tryout period where we interact with you, squad / private lobby with you, talk and get to know you a bit, etc. Once the tryout period is finished, we will discuss what we think and get back to you ASAP. We may request to play more than once this time around.

If we are not interested in recruiting you, I (or one of the other captains) will also contact you to let you know as well. We're not 100% certain on how long we'll take to get back to you, but we'll try our best to do it within 1 week after receiving your application.

If you have any questions please let me know and I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks for viewing! ヽ(^◇^*)/ ♡
