Welcome, original thinkers, and thank you for your interest in joining the CookieSlayer Collective. Our goals are to help each other and the community expand their knowledge of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG by collaborating on ideas that are largely ignored by the global meta. Here you will find a friendly and safe haven to explore these idea without fear of ridicule, and with some actual feedback on the ideas you have in mind . At the moment all our forums are open to the public. This will change when the Collective officially launches on Nov, 16th, 2006 and a number of forums will be visible to Collective members only. The reason for this is to give our full members a sense of exclusivity, a place where they can test and discuss ideas without fear that his ideas will be blabbed to the public, and without fear that he'll be shut down before he even starts. However, some sections of the Collective will remain open to the general public, where similar discussion can continue to take place with non-Slayer members. These sections have yet to be decided. We will be judging your application very stringently. We are looking for intelligent, creative individuals with the ability to communicate clearly and rationally. Please be aware, that there are also several prerequisites to qualify for the application process. Those qualifications are as follows: - Online activity for a minimum of 6 months. (This means you’ve been active on some forums during this amount of time. This helps to show the degree to which you are willing to participate online and helps us when doing a background check) - Demonstrated interest originality by playing at least one original deck type on a consistent basis. (While it is hard to prove that you have actually played a deck on a constant basis, you will need to provide us with a link to an original or off-the-wall build so we may verify you’ve actually put some thought into something with originality. If you’ve never posted an original deck before, you may do so at your respective forum prior to applying to the Collective and it will still count. This one deck can speak volumes as to your level of dedication.) - A high level of "netiquette" (That is polite online, intelligent conversation, helpful to the community of which they are a part of. See our number 1 rule.) The following post is the application for becoming a full member of the CookieSlayer Collective. Take your time with the process. Answer all questions completely and clearly. Remember, your representing yourself with this application, take the time to put your best foot forward. If you’re half heartedly answering the questions, then that will come across when it is reviewed. We’re looking for those truly determined and dedicated to taking originality to the next level. To submit your application, simply copy the application to your computer, fill it out at your leisure and then start a new thread in this same section of the forums with the application in it. |

THE APPLICATION: Post the completed app in a separate thread in this section. 1) What is your Screen Name? Yes, it shows up on the reply, but we’ll be making transcripts of this application for later use. 2) Who are you and what original deck do you play? What do you want us to know about yourself? Where did you learn about the CookieSlayer Collective? What are your past experiences with Yu-Gi-Oh? And how did you become interested in originality over CC (Cookie Cutter)? Post a link to at least 1 non-CC deck you have personally created and posted on another forum. 3) What are the other forums in which you participate? By “participate”, we mean which forums are you actively posting in? Be aware that we will take the time to search the sites you frequent and the posts you made there to determine who you are, your quality as a duelist and person, and the level of dedication (or promise) to originality. Be sure to list all the correctly spelled Screen Name for all sites you wish us to know about. If we can't find you there, it may reflect poorly on you. 4) What kind of deck builder are you? You've arrived at your local Card Shop for your weekly tournament. However, the shop owner has been possessed by the Spirit of the Pot of Greed. He can’t stop grinning and laughing manically, and he’s magically turned all cards on the Limited List to Silly Putty, and thereby making them tournament illegal. You’re stuck, because you can’t play anything limited, and he’s further restricted you to deck types that focus around 1 of the five following cards: - Hino-Kagu-Tsuchi - Jam Breeding Machine - Element Doom - Triangle Power - Spiritual Energy Settle Machine You have every other card at your disposal to build a deck, but he’s essentially turned the entire Advance Format list into one big ban list and you HAVE to use 1 of the above cards, or you’ll be turned into a goblin and forever imprinted onto a copy of Adhesion Trap Hole! Provide a synopsis of the card you are focusing on, tactics and combos you plan on using and, most importantly, a deck list. 5) What is your favorite card and why? Hint: It should be something unusual. Not Cyber Dragon or Black Luster Soldier Envoy of the Beginning, etc. In other words, it should reflect your desire to play different things. 6) Name some ideas that you’ve always wanted to try, but have never had the time and/or encouragement to follow though with. List no more than 3 deck types or strategies that you enjoy and a brief description of each. (2-3 sentences are more than sufficient) 7) If you were admitted as a full Slayer, what would you do to help enhance the community? Yes, We Do Care. |

As the CSC is in its infancy stages, this application process may undergo some changes over time. If you wait a long time between copying the application and submitting it, please be sure to check back here and make certain that no additions/modifications have been made, so your submission reads up to date. When you apply, your response will be reviewed by the existing CookieSlayer Collective and if you are accepted by the majority of the group, we will send you notification and increase your privileges here on the forums. Special thanks to the Lair of Dark Monarchs for the inspiration behind this application. You may notice some VERY striking similarities between this and their application, and I’m proud to borrow many of the questions and templating from their theme. Good fortune to you. The CookieSlayer Collective |
