Are you looking to apply for a ranked position in Minecraft?
Before you join us...
Do we know who you are? Have you already introduced yourself in the 'Who r u?' section? If you have, don't forget to link up your 'who r u?' post with your Join[SpA] application.

SpA members are generally 18+. However, exceptions have been made in the past on the basis of maturity and of the applicant being a great member of the community already. Be aware that even successful underage applicants will have to wait longer for their application to be approved as we like to make extra sure that they're SpA material.

So, you want to be a [SpA]?!

If the answer to that question is 'yes', then you are most probably insane. Great start! But we’re looking for more than just your run-off-the-mill manics; we need to know that you’re made of the right stuff before we give you those shiney tags. Mostly, these 'requirements' are summed up by the Management thusly:
Quote:
...Blah blah, more info more info, some other requirements etc etc.

Just hang around on IRC, the forums as well as play on our servers and let us know your wanting to join!
Which is the long and short of it, really. If you give us the chance to get to know you, then we’ll know soon enough if you’d make a cool SpA member or not.

And don’t worry if there’s some of these that you don’t meet. As much as we would like to impress upon you how superhumanly handsome and sophisticated and generally amazing we are, we (sadly) aren't completely without our faults either. So you don’t have to be perfect, and we won’t be finicky about you measuring up to every single guideline – these are just some general yardsticks so that you’ll know the sort of dude/dudette that we’re looking for!

Do you know what you’re applying for?

We’ve had a few applications in the past from people asking, say, to ‘join our clan’, or from guys who have generally just got the wrong end of the stick. First off, you should know that [SpA] isn’t a clan, it’s a community. People that wear the [SpA] tag are SpA members and can also be an admin on our TF2 servers and their job is basically to make server life and the SpA community life as fun and enjoyable as possible. So when you apply, you’re volunteering yourself to become a part of the SpA member team and to help us take on the challenge of keeping SpA a great place to hang out and play many games. All in all, [SpA] isn’t just a tag!

Can you help the SpA Community?

Do you possess magical powers of coding, techy-knowledge, photoshop, web design or any other skill that our tech team could make use of? If you do – and you would be willing to give up some of you free time to help our cause by using these skills – then, brilliant! Get that application posted now because we need you!

Do we know who you are?

As I’ve said already, this is probably the most important part of your application. Whilst having a big, meaty application that tells us everything we could possibly want to know about yourself is great (and we encourage you to make your application like that), we won’t be judging on that alone. We’ll be looking at… well, who you are! And how can we know who you are if we never see you?

Places to get known:

- Mumble Actually we use Discord nowadays - https://discord.gg/qdHnhgp Mumble is the place where many of the SpA community like to hang out and pretend that they actually have social lives ( :ugly: ) by chatting to each other via the wonders of internet microphones. Talk to us on mumble plenty, and you’ll be known in no time!
- In-game. Playing on our servers or just having fun playing other games that the SpA Community is involved in.
- The forums. If you're really new around here, why not introduce yourself over at the 'who are u' board? Otherwise, go ahead and join in! Just don't spam, we hate that.
- IRC. For all your chatroom geekery needs.

Links to all of these, along with more information, can be found on the black bar along the top of the forum/main page and in the website.

Are you gonna make a good server admin?

For those of you that do play TF2 you could become a TF2 admin. A good server admin will:
- Follow the rules and enforces them as appropriate
- Doesn’t abuse his/her powers
- Tries to make the servers as fun and cool a place to be as possible
- This includes stuff like giving feedback, making suggestions and helping to fill up empty servers. Basically, you get stuck in and get involved; without doing anything you shouldn’t be, that is.

Don’t worry – we’ve got this all sorted out for you if and when you do become an admin on the TF2 servers, but this is a basic outline of what the job entails.

Do you have a sense of fun?

Very important. Honestly, we’re just some guys and gals trying to make this a fun place to be. Don’t let all these regulations get you down, because we’re all here to have fun, right? We’re a Community, we have a great laugh and a good time together – we just want to make sure that the good times keep on rollin’ as much as possible!

On that note…

Can you accept that you aren’t going to please all of the people all of the time; and vice-versa?

We’re a community, but we’re a BIG community. And although we, by and large, have the same goals, interests etc., the community is made up of some big personalities. Though we hope that you’ll get along just fine with as many of us as possible, there’s a chance that there might be one or two of us that you don’t like so much. And that’s fine; that’s life. The question is – can you handle it? Can you accept it and move along? A little drama and disagreement never hurt anyone, but at the end of the day, we want you to accept that this could happen and that, when it does, you'll manage it as best you can in private. No public drama please.

Great! Not only do I meet most of these standards, but I’m also incredibly handsome and my gonads are simply humongous! Where do I sign up?!

Right here! Make a new thread on the 'Join [SpA]' board with your application in it.

Basically, the bigger your application, the better. Tell us as much about yourself as you can, what you can do for the Community, how you can help build our Community and most importantly having a fun time with the Community!

So what happens after I make my application?

Well... we just sort of keep an eye on you for a while especially if you are fairly new to the Community, and then we make a decision by general consensus. We usually take in recruitments in waves, so if you’ve made an application not long after a wave, then you might have to wait a while before the next wave. Just be patient!

And finally;

Good luck!
