Crew Is No Longer Accepting New Members

I am content with the crew as it is, we have a good many skilled drivers who are active online and things on the Xbox Division have been great lately. However I feel that over time a new driver here and there may help to keep things fresh among the competition. I am not against closing member acceptance completely but I am also not entirely for it either. Do what you think is right but I urge you to keep yourself open to change in the future incase your current course of action does not satisfy you.

The pending area is full again...are we regecting those?

How about directing those pending unfortunates to APEX? For the sake of goodwill.
I think closing the PS3 side for a bit is a decent move. Time for you guys to catch up, level off and have some fun.

Lol was gonna ask Today if there was space for a new member ! Northern Hawk asked the other day, not a biggie as I can still get him in game through my invites, was more for when I was off line as he is US based, I invited him to red rum chat room so he can still jump in there and get invites.

Personally don id say yes, (thats the short version)


(heres the long version and my opinion on the matter) I cant speak for anyone else but ive seen hawk as a kinda honourary member for a while and hes involved in alot of crew activities. Much like yourself and refuso were, before you decided to make the headlong plunge into the rum. We did need to initiate you guys as we knew your stype and gameplay was in line w pur gentlemans guidelines, thats what ultimately brings and sticks is together as a crew.

For me the temporary closing recruitment is to make sure we keep our tight knit feel and dont dilute things w bigger numbers, worryin about initiatin people, coordinating playlists w New members,monitoring conduct etc. For people we already know well and race w regularly. I think its less of a problem, theres no stress in sayin "yea hawks cool" in comparison to the 2 or 3 requests a day we get from randoms who we dont know, have to contact, arrange meets, show them the gentlemans guidelines, go through initiation and keep an eye on them.

We have a strong crew and its time we enjoy that for a bit. We get new requests everyday and if people really wana be a part of rrr, and this is the place for them, then like you, refuso and hawk wearin the tag will be a secondary thought to just gettin involved and havin fun. as opposed to people who just want to make a statement by bein part of a (imo) well respected crew, yet adding little to the crew in terms of their participation..

I personally get a new friend request about every 48 hours on psn (some for approved racers as well as RRR) of which most I have to delete as I simply dont have space for everyone and felt the need to keep some slot free for New recruits. Ive been finding someone to delete just so could accept hawks request fRom Earlier this week, as hes a goos racer who I gake w regularly. Id swap 10 random request for just 1 hawk lol




Obv the Xbox side is much smaller at the moment so this also gives them a chance to grow to a comparible size. last thing id want is to keep addin more and more ps3 members and limitin the number of slots left for Xbox members. which is why, for now, weve stopped actively recruiting. that doesnt mean were dead against New people like Hawk joinin us, just that its not that big a priority to expand, more to just have fun, mess aroud and to enjoy a solid and supportive gaming community

Hawk has been part of our shenanigens for a while now and we all know hes cool safe and clean on the tracks. I dont see a problem with him joining us and bein official RRR member as the rum seems to flow through his veins. We may have closed the door but hawk had a key already lol

Nice, if one of you could invite to the crew, I will let him know

There are other DDZN member that have taken an interest (mainly the racers of the crew, as the shooters have all desserted to BF4 now !!)
but I have advised them to apply to be a approved racer rather than part of this crew, as they will still get in on the races this way and it gives you guys a chance to see if they are approved (I don't think all will make the grade !!) none are griefers (race backwards, etc) but some a bit aggressive and/or sloppy !!

Anyway with me and Hawk in, we will always be able to contact others if and when they are needed (head2head's, etc)

Did someone nuke ALL of the pending members from the social page or is mine just not loading right?

Also how are we addressing the folks that were "in before delete" so to speak and have been patiently waiting for initiate races and posting in the forum?

I haven't accepted any members in probably, 2 months lol. I hardly even look at the new joins.

I did deny him, thats my point. If someone is just accepting without initiating then he would have been in crew and would single handedly be able to ruin the rep we are developing. It is nice dropping into random races and not being kicked because RRR is known to be clean.

I got the message though...step out of where I dont belong, check.

The last and frankly only initiate I have invited in was buggy2825 which goes by Luckyshot Up on xbox.

That's the way it ought to be done.

I think I am going to make a thread for posting pretty much exactly what you just said for each new member brought in. That way we can at least know which ones are legit and which ones are slipping through. I have two today alone that someone invited and I have to hunt down to get races with them.

Yep, This dude dropped me a very polite message asking for a race sometime, looks like T0lly has granted his wish
