I'd be interested in having a look but according to your website, applications are closed, so.
1) We can refer people. If you even bothered to read the first page of this thread, you would've realised that.
2) You're an escaped lunatic. We don't refer people unless they're reasonably active Bay12ers.
3) I don't like you already. Your lack of reading comprehension skills astounds me. I, personally, will never refer you to N@W.
I've been a constant lurker for a long period of time. Not all of us have something to say all the time. I only decided to make an account today because I wanted to express an interest in your game. Which has sadly been lost thanks to your great response.
I am also aware of what the front page said, however, I stated what you have quoted because I thought it was odd that you were not allowing other people to join in and play irked me because I thought you may be nudging towards elitism, which, thankfully, you have clarified. Maybe I should of made that clearer but I would suspect your response would most likely have stayed the same.
1) How can I trust that you're a lurker? We've made it clear that we're not accepting Escaped Lunatics, and that's that. It's very special exception that it's only Bay12 members and Penny Arcade members that can be referred without them knowing someone from N@W personally. We only accept Bay12ers who are active members of the community.
2) Yes, we have nudged toward elitism. N@W is a community that only accepts the best. We're proud of that fact that we have one of the best communities in the Minecraft world.
3) It's nice that you chose to attack me personally there at the end. Makes me seem all the more inclined to dislike you.
I understand that you're trying to do the "uh, yeah, I, uh, yeah I knew that" cover-up but it really isn't going to work on me, and I trust that the majority of the community here will think likewise.
