Name: Rick "Raddue" Raddue.
Age: 30 - 3.
Game(s) You Play: Well I know Fugly and Dirk were talking about you guys when they were playing CS:S. Only I don't really play CS:S so I didn't actually play with any of the n00bs until BF3 came out.
Were you Referred to n00bfest by someone? If so by whom?: DirkDiggler, we've been friends EYE ARE EL for a few years now. And yes, he does like to cuddle.
Alias: Raddue. I'm creative, I know.
SteamID (if applicable): I just opened Steam to try to run CS:S but I realized I haven't had it installed for quite some time now. In fact, I don't have any games installed on Steam at the moment. Since I'm mainly playing BF3 and it's on Origin I will skip this part for the moment. If it's absolutely required in the future I will add it.
Location: Portland, Oregon. Represent.
What do you feel that you have to offer to this community? I'm technologically-inclined so if I ever prove myself I would be able to help with things like forum or server administration. Until that time comes (or if it ever does), I'm content with jumping in Vent and absolutely schooling people.

I am also charming, witty, bombastic, hilarious, good looking, wealthy and unbelieably modest. Additionally I seem to have dropped my thesaurus in the midst of typing this out.

Hello and welcome to n00bfest!

The reason you have received this message is because you have been accepted as a [rct] of n00bfest - this means that you are now a recruit for the [n00b] tag and all that comes with it.

There are, however, a couple of things that are required of you to get into n00bfest and receive the [n00b] tag.

• You will have to be active both in the game server and the forum. This means posting replies to threads you find interesting that will add to the conversation - it does not mean spam "lol," "haha," or many other one word responses simply to raise your post count.
  
• Read the rules and obey them.
  
• Read the previous rule again, and understand that there is going to be some hazing. If you catch any shit from an admin, understand that it's not a personal vendetta against you; it's just our way of making sure that you can take a little bit of abuse and harassment without blowing up and acting like a douchebag. If you're not OK with that, then get in contact with myself or any other Battlefield Staff member and we can discuss it in further detail. If you feel an admin is out of line, send an email to elders(at)n00bfest(dot)com and it will be addressed. Do NOT make a thread on the forum bitching out an admin or any other member. Such flagrant douchebaggery will not be tolerated and will likely result in a ban.
  
• Do not ask when your [rct] period will be over. That information is for us to know and you to find out -- if and when you're accepted into [n00b].
  
• Please respond to this message. We need to know that you actually got the message and that you understand what is required of you. Once you respond, you may wear the [rct] tag and take your first step into earning n00bdom.
• Join the rct platoon: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/pl ... 301968462/
• Use ventrilo - the vent server is password protected, but PM me or any other member for the password and hop in any time you play. This will give us a chance to get to know you.

If you have any questions, please send a PM to the "Battlefield Staff" usergroup.

Thanks,
n00bfest.com Staff

I am responding this this message.

I wish more rct threads looked like this. Nicely done, sir.

Thanks.

I guess if I want to see a train wreck I should look at some of the other applications?

Let's just say people don't read directions about information and instead post "I canz has n00b tag" and of course it takes 3-5 days to finally get their app in the right format... Anyways do what sweet pea said in her post and look forward to seeing/hazing u in the servers!
