Honestly though, it shouldn't matter which servers I play in as long as they're IBIS which are pretty much the only servers I play. Ok, most of you play GG. Don't you want a good representation on all servers instead of being dismissive and saying "oh I play GG and don't see you so no". That's kinda lame dudes, just saying. Huge turn-off for interested parties and I'm genuinely interested in IBIS.

you need to understand that this past year, ibis accepted i believe 5 people. that was fucking unprecedented. the normal number is 2-3 per year. ibis only accepts people if they've proven themselves to have an extreme level of commitment. as an example, some of the people who were accepted have played here for YEARS. ibis is not like sG or eGo, or any of the other big clans. there, you apply and they hand you a tag to wear saying 'welcome aboard'. at ibis, you have to earn your spot. and you earn it by showing the clan that you are comitted to this place. you've played 3 games on pub, maybe 20 in gg, and 17 min. in zm. regardless of how much time you've sunk into wcs, you're still a complete nobody here. ibis doesn't accept people lightly. and so it makes perfect sense that you would need to be FAR more active with the general community in order to get in. if it doesn't make any sense, or you still feel you shouldn't have to play the other servers, then ibis probably isn't for you.

out of all the clan, i believe that only james and maynard came from mostly single-servers. james from zm and maynard from wcs. they're both special cases though, as james was active on gg as well, and was well known to everyone, and maynard essentially ran wcs. wcs was his server, he knew all the rules, everyone deferred to him and his expertise, and etc etc. don't expect to follow in their footsteps, at least not yet. god knows how much time they both sunk into ibis before being accepted. i'm sure that, since i had about 800 hours when maynard got accepted, and he had been around on wcs long before i joined, that he had easily over 1500 hours logged there.

tl;dr, ibis doesn't just hand out tags. if you want in, you need to prove yourself. you do that by playing on all the servers, and becomming known. not just to the regs either, as nobody but clan have any say in apps. play the other servers a bit, get to know everyone, make friends, and in general reach out to the community. THAT's how you become known.


also, don't expect this to go fast. some people have had apps active for years.
