We would like to thank everyone that applied to our program. For many of those wondering why they weren’t chosen, we would like to explain a few of the reasons why some applicants may not have been accepted into this program:

· For some applicants, we found associated accounts to their main account that was not mentioned.
o We realize that many players have multiple accounts and they may not remember all of their accounts, however, some of the associated accounts had a history of abuse. It was because of the ban history for their alternate accounts that we could not accept these applicants into the program.
· Any account found with a history of abuse in any of our games was not accepted into the MapleWatch Leaf Brigade.
o In addition, any account with a close association to another account with a history of abuse was screened heavily before continuing the application process. If the screening showed any possibility that the associated accounts were guilty of breaking our Terms of Use in any way, the original applicant may have been disqualified.
· We found applicants that shared their account information.
o Many players believe that sharing their accounts is okay. However, sharing accounts is against our Terms of Use. There was a question on our application regarding shared accounts and it allowed applicants to admit to account sharing and provide us with the reason why. For players that admitted to account sharing, we ran a full investigation on their accounts to decide if they were still possible candidates to this program. For players that did not admit to sharing account information and we found evidence showing that they shared accounts, we disqualified as a possible candidate. For players that left the question blank and their account showed evidence of sharing, we also disqualified as a possible candidate.
· As one of our means of testing and communication required voice communication, access to a microphone was needed.
o If players did not have a microphone, they were not immediately disqualified. Most players without a microphone stated their willingness to “make it happen” if needed.
o Not having a microphone had a very minimal impact on the overall assessment of MWLB candidates. (This means that no one was directly disqualified just because of this one requirement.)
· If an applicant was not willing/able to submit a form of identification this could have been a reason to disqualify the applicant.
o We completely respect our player’s concerns. If a player did not want to provide the identification we would not make them, however to be considered for the program, one of the requirements is that you have to prove your identity.
· Some applicants did not meet the character level requirement and/or account age requirement.

For those of you who have not yet been contacted, there might be a few reasons why you have not received an email from us:

· We never received your email.
· Our email response may have went to your junk or spam folder.
· We may still be processing your application. (We have a few that we are still working on.)

Again, thank you to all the players that applied to the MapleWatch Leaf Brigade program. And congratulations to those that made it in!

Leaves Wrote:Yeah, this whole program looks to be a real fail, which is too bad. I mean, the judging criteria is just ridiculous... how many people are there out here who have never gone on an account that is not their own? I mean, close to none? So I get disqualified for being a buyer player... hmms. TOS or not, that is justttt stupid.

SuperNerd Wrote:Sure, let's call a program that could help the overall game become better to play in "fail". Makes complete sense.

Why is there always unnecessary bashing?

If the conditions and criteria for judging was so excruciating, do people really think they'd choose one of those "vwvwwvw" hackers to start monitoring the game? I don't think so. Nexon's really trying to make some kind of difference. Let's first see how it goes.

Also, i found the microphone thing to be extremely retarded. What if i don't like microphones? What if i enjoy listening to my music instead of talking to some douche while i ban people?

Taliant Wrote:I see their screening as a good thing, including all their disqualifications. They want to make sure the minimal powers the mini-gms have will not be abused. Plus they said those who admitted it were not directly disqualified, just had to be looked into more.

Plus I always found it moronic to share account details no matter the circumstance. Need to Zrun? Try yourself. Computer can't handle it? Sorry to hear that, just keep trying.

Stereo Wrote:Original question on application:
· Does anyone else have access to your account(s)? If so, please explain who and why.

And then...
· We found applicants that shared their account information.

Is that the question they're talking about? I answered "no", because nobody else has access to my account. In the past someone did but I didn't realize that's what the question was even asking o_O I've changed both password and pin since then, so no, they don't have access to it.

I guess now I know why I got disqualified then.
