How to write a proper join request.

[Shadow7168]

I have been seeing too many people making threads looking for a village that look something like "cn i join vllage plz snd me ur HS"

There are a few general guidelines when trying to join a village:
1: Actually use proper spelling and grammar. Probably the most important thing to avoid looking like a annoying 11 year old.
2: Divide your request into smaller parts. People don't like reading giant walls of text.
3: Give information. What if you want to join only a new village, or if the village has to have access to metal?
4: You NEED to give your timezone, experience(don't lie, people can tell), and any other information so people can decide if they want you in their village
5: Actually tell them to contact you via PM. Most village leaders won't say much about their village on threads.
6: Don't flame people on your thread. It just makes you look bad.
7: DO NOT EVER EVER EVER ASK/GIVE A HS. EVER.

I hope this helps some people get into villages, as quite a few villages that recruit from the forums have pretty high standards, and unless you present yourself decently, you have basically no chance of joining a good village that will last for more than a month.

Can I also add that you should not just write 1 sentence or 2? Don't just say I want people to join.

Bad example: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=18190

Good example: viewtopic.php?f=24&t=18196

Even though it is pinned already, i'll try...

Don't expect people to let/warp you in immediately after you apply.

Expect living outside the walls for a while before you will be let in or rejected.

Also not every village can risk giving you coords so expect to be kept in dark until you earn their trust enough to be given the coords.

You do realize this is an online game, right? They're not applying for a job. Zzz. Pretty sure they can conduct themselves any way they want. I am sure if they follow some of your steps though they might yield better results, though.
