Heyla guys, I’m back again. I apologise for my absence, but it seems a really nasty influenza decided to keep me away from the internet a few days. Being sick in July/August really sucks, by the way. ;/ I hope I haven’t missed out on too much.
Anyway, congratulations to Warmaster Phthisis for passing the test. Welcome to the clan! And good luck to the rest of the applicants, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. A proper clan needs a decent basis of members to function properly, so I hope we’ll get some more fluff-know-it-alls soon.

Isn’t this why we have a test here? If people want to join, they have to be able to answer the test with a decent result and also have made themselves visible in the fluff section of the forum. This is a clan not only for those who know a lot, after all, but for those who want to share their knowledge with others. Even if someone knows their fluff and can ace the test, it doesn’t make much sense to let them join if they’re never seen around the fluff section. I think that should have something to do with it too.

Agreed.
As for a standardised test, that seems like a good idea. I don’t think we should make it a multiple choice test, though, because as others have stated people do have access to the internet here, and the ability to use Google does not a fluff-master make. Perhaps we should have some questions like those already used to test Warmaster Phthisis and the other applicants, and have people write small essays (just a few lines) on various topics that let us know they know what they’re talking about.
As for icons, I doubt we’ll get a fluff-master’s icon to put under our name. None of the other clans have such an icon, and if the admins were to give us one anyway, they would either have to make available to all members, which kind of defeats the purpose, or personally alter every single member’s account every time someone wishes to join or leave the clan. And if we get that, the other clans will want one too, and I doubt the admins have the time and patience to deal with the ensuing chaos. So why not make an icon to put in your signature? Possibly linking it to this thread? It wouldn’t take many minutes to make something like that; in fact, I could do it, if you let me know what you’d like the icon to look like. Any particular graphics/fonts/quotes?
