Anna's (WTF NO?) Sacred's GM Application

...
I'm pretty sure this counts as three applications...

Possibly, but hopefully it wouldn't make my application denied for that. I thought it might be entertaining for the reader to choose what they want to read instead of always reading what's given in front of them (somewhat contradictory, but it makes sense?)

Just a head's up, I found looking at three different copies of the same thing more annoying than funny.

It is the nature of an application that it is read in full - that's because whether in real life or right here on these forums, it is a determining factor in deciding whether or not you are capable and qualified for a certain position. This is not a choose your own adventure game. When it's not all read, that tends to be a bad thing.

But hey, that's my opinion.

I also found it a bit over the top...respect for the effort though!

But.. Anna is a chick you know? She has no dick (or so I would hope) therefore nothing for you to ride on. Nobody likes suck ups.

And if, in the circumstances that you know her from somewhere else, which I have the feeling you don't, There is still an unnecessary amount of dick riding/acknowledgment.

Well you weren't really supposed to read every one, you were supposed to choose based upon your personality (or whatever you liked the most). I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear, but I suppose it's only fair that some people may decide to read all of it, and I apologize if I annoyed you.

You're probably right, but considering my last one got denied for being too boring (and the simple questions rule that I didn't follow), I thought I might as well give this one some sort of uniqueness. I've never seen it happen so I don't know the outcome. I'm sorry if this was sufficient for my final take, but that's the luck of the draw sometimes. You win some, you lose some.

I still think it counts as three apps...

I know that you were only supposed to pick one, but think of it this way - the purpose of an application is not only to show your interest, but also showcase what you have or what you are that tells whoever's in charge that you're right for the job. You put your best foot forward when you can, but guess what? There's a reason why interviewers ask for references - they want to know as much about you as possible to determine if you're right for the job, and some of what they hear may not be the best. From my perspective, you're willingly disqualifying yourself with your own poor judgement.

The main reason I say this is that apart from your "normal" application, this is one big joke. I skimmed over the other two, and while marginally funny, they're useless. They tell us nothing. If the whole point is to "only pick one", guess what? Two out of the three tell me that you're either overly bold, unable to write, making a joke out of an application, or trolling. If you really wanted us to "pick one" and still have any chance at all of getting in, you'd at least make sure the "funny" ones aren't completely nonsensical.

You make a good point. I suppose I kind of set myself up for denial just like you said, but like I said before things happen, it was just a spur of the moment idea and I kept with it. There isn't really much more I can say, so I'll just have to wait for what Anna thinks, for her opinion (and possibly some GameMasters) is/are the only that count.

That's respectable. You certainly seem nice enough. Best of luck!

Looked at it for 5 seconds.
Didn't like the overall look. Kinda annoyed me tbh.

Denied.
Try and make it slightly less downs next time.
