Notice - Reijin - 06-21-2006
I originally typed the first paragraph as a response to Kilah's thread, however, I realize that this needs to be said to everyone. I emphasize it at Kilah, but this isn't typed with only him in mind. Read this, apply this:
Quote:I feel the need to add something.
Kilah: This applies to everyone, but I actually feel the need to stress this too you. This is going to be similar to our previous contest of Apprentice. We are looking for people that can continue working under pressure. That can do what we want done when we ask. That means following directions. That means that sometimes we will intentionally piss you off by telling you to do something, and not apologizing for it. We will be VERY critical and blunt about it. If you at any time feel that the staff is just being biased against you, pack your bags and get off the bus. We will not force you to stay in a situation that you feel you are being mistreated in. However, in these events, we give NO special treatment. We are hard on EVERYONE and even moreso on anyone that we feel is simply putting up a front just to get by until the thing is over. We aren't wanting actors, we want legit hard working people. We are TRYING to eliminate you and everyone else that joins this. There are going to be NUMEROUS people in this event that are going to feel that they did just as good of a job as the other people and that they were eliminated simply due to bias. The bottom line is, if that is true or not, it won't be contested, nor will any complaints be taken seriously. Its how the world works, and will possibly play a part in choicing. We wouldn't intentionally say "I just don't like this guy".
I'll clarify that: We won't intend originally to eliminate someone based on what we think of them. However, if you give us reason over the course of this to feel that way, then by all means we will use that as a reasoning. Just like in a job situation, its best not to make all the requirements but intentionally piss off your soon to be boss. There are going to be moments when the decision will lie between two people that we think are both good candidates, but we'll be forced to decide between the two of them: one or the other. No matter what we wish, we can't choose both. Although we do reserve the right to judgement.
Personally, there was a small point during Apprentice where I had to solely decide the firings. A very small timing, but I did it, and I will say now that it was VERY hard to make some of the final calls on it. BJ did a very good job with that, and I had to force myself to make those decisions. And it is possible that as a result some people left thinking I chose out of bias or favoratism. I cannot help that. I will do my job as best as I can.
If anyone thinks that they can't handle that, pack your bags now. If anyone thinks that they can, welcome to the longest hardest busride you've ever endured.
That's what you are getting yourself into.

I want to drop out now. Is it too late?
Very aptly phrased, Rei. Of course you will probably have fun during the beginning rounds when you are in a team, but once it starts getting down to indiciduals, I foresee nervousness and much competitiveness. Good luck to you all.
If any of the staffers do, I will do what you guys did back in Apprentice and share some long story that was the introduction. Rei's owned there, too.

The prelim will probably be the hardest as you adapt to things. But once in the semifinals and finals you should have a grasp on how things work, but the tasks will be much harder.
Reijin is right. When you're in this game, and out of this comfy auditions, we hate you. We want you to quit.
It's your job to take the pressure you're given.

It does seem like many people are taking the 'just gonna try' outlook that Lucifer mentioned. Otherwise not so many people would have applied. I know that most people want to be staff, but I don't think many of them honestly believe they would make good staffers. I know from WWTBS in FoF that if you even want to come close you're going to have to spend hours working on tasks. Still, I expect many people will prove me wrong.

Yeah. If you think I'm bad in my usual capacity, wait until I have something to be bad about.
You're all going to recieve some truths that you're not going to like.
And you're not going to argue, because nobody's going to care if you do.
All of you should realize that this is not a fun game. This is a serious competition, which is going to take a lot out of you.
And forget this "whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" shit.
When I'm done with you, you'll genuinely prefer death.
As I said before..
BRING IT ON!!!
This is one nut you'll find nearly impossible to crack..
No matter the nut, nothing can stand a chance against the powers of a staff in bitchmode. Especially Luci and Bj. <3
Sigh...I just can't wait for these truths to come out. I need a good laugh.

Kilah, your gonna have to learn to take this shit more seriously. You think your a big hard man that no one can crack open? They'll fucking have you hanging by your balls at the top of the damn forum.
Other wise, I'll welcome the punishment guys. I ain't had a good bitching from William in a long while =D
Notice - Burter Jr - 06-21-2006
On the contrary, it sounds to be like Kilah might be taking it more seriously then anyone else.
And Super Buu, that was a problem in Apprentice. Too many people played "just for fun" and "just to see how hard I can get."

I'm humored, knowing that your response is based on your experiences in the original Apprentice.
As for when it starts... We can start it whenever we want. For all you care, we started it the moment you signed up. For all you care, it may not truely start till the very end. I don't feel I have a reason to tell you that.

Now look at him.
LYING IN A DITCH IN ALABAMA!!
With his laptop.
I want to see Lucifer crack someone. I don't think I've seen that in a while.

I always prefer death. And still, with my new RL character development...I'm care-free...at least for the summer. You can ban me, warn me for no reason, IP-ban me, rape me, kill me, throw me off a cliff, etc. and I won't mind. >D
