How To Use The Squid Locator Sub-Board

[Kat]

Squid Locator is for the general recruitment of free agent Squids to squads via their own threads or for Squids to browse through recruitment threads in search for a team. The sub is strongly focused on recruitment and as such any general squad discussion or more casual squads should be taken to Squad Social.

The two types of thread allowed on this sub-board are:

• Team-less Squids, looking for a team.
• Squads, advertising their recruitment.

Example Of An Idea Squad Searching For Team Post

Hey, Kat here. Looking for a UK squad to play with. I'm based in the UK myself at UTC +0. I generally like to play most nights in the evening between around 5PM and 9PM and I'm looking for a serious squad to practice and play competitively with. I main Rollers but I'm competent in Sloshers too. I just hit A+ and am looking for a team around that level. I have TS3 on my laptop and would like to use voice comms in our games. I'm a little shy sometimes so it might take me a while to get super talkative.
