I can read all notes, but I have to do it in a not-so-direct way. It's easier for me if I have notes sent straight to Immortal.
Also, my guide for good chances of being inducted:-
1) Have a full and good description. A small/poor description will usually result not in even being spoken too by Clan guards etc.
2) Use nice language, from rank 1 onwards! I can see all grouptells, tells, etc. I do not even mean great English, but nothing like "cool" "how many exp to rank" "pizdectoban" and so on. I usually make a note of that players name, for future induction purposes!
3) Reaction after PK! When a player is killed or kills, my attention is very close on this (most of the time). Angry reactions like "f*ck you" or Knights that gangbang another player, again I will usually make a note to myself with that persons name- for future induction chances.
4) Hmm, it gets harder. Make a note, a nice note, to that Clan. I will read each one. If they are crap, I will not usually even speak to that player, or maybe I will say "You need a better note". Why are you trying to join this Clan? What can you offer this Clan? Why should they choose you? And so on.
5) Do not think making a note means you can now stop RP! After reading these notes, I will usually watch that player for a day or two, and watch how they act. Someone mentioned Hrothgar- This player impressed me from creation, always in character, and was lucky with being online at the right time. I won't speak about his interview. So KEEP IN CHARACTER!
6) The interview- Everyone knows, I think, I am easily impressed with interviews. You can almost get 100% success if you just try to make some nice sounding story or tale for me. Just waiting for me to ask questions, or answering "Yes" "No" "I don't know" is one way for me to get bored very quickly. Also! Do not worry about getting a question wrong- I don't care if you don't know who is Vinas Solamnus, but impress me with your answer anyway!
"Do you know who is Vinas Solamnus?"
"I am sorry guardian, I do not know this man. However, my father once told me of a Knight named Sturm Brightblade, who inspired me to become a Knight myself blah blah blah"
Its so much more interesting than "I dunno"
7) Patience! I know sometimes its hard, but I am not on all the time and othertimes I am on I know I will be interrupted by evil bosses, so I don't begin interviews. Have patience, I will try my best!
8)For me, I know I should start to send notes back to ALL applicants, at least so you know they've been read- I apologise for this, thats my mistake. I will double my efforts to speak to more applicants, and appoint some mortal leaders.
9) Argh, sorry for long post
