[Capt. Sterling]

V Suggestions for keeping a crew standards high without being too exclusive?

[CrazyCholeBlack]

^ Giving new people a job. If the first thing that someone learns about a group is that there is going to be work & they are going to be expected to participate in that, then those that aren't willing to work are more likely to not get involved to start with. (I personally think) That new comers need to know that they can't just put on a costume & play with a sword without putting time & effort into doing it. The kinds of people that are willing to work hard for something that they enjoy are the meat of any solid group and can with stand anything.

< Geeze write an essay about it already! And I still didn't make any sense.
