Hey man,
Yeah, the TeamSpeak thing is pretty important. Some of the guys have the in-game voip disabled so they don't have to listen to some of the pubbers and whatnot. I always keep mine on, but TS is where it's at.
Also, TS is kind of critical to participation in the club. We have monthly meetings, fight nights, google hangouts, and a myriad of other things that TS is great to arrange with. It's also required as part of your recruitment.
We don't require that you be on everyday or so many hours a week or anything like that, but for the first two weeks, you have to be on long enough so that we get to know you (and you get to know us!) to make sure that we're a good fit for you. Not everybody is banzore material, and not everybody wants to be.
Your app goes up in our members only section for two weeks during which time we all vote yea or nay on your app. If there are no votes, it means nobody knows who you are because you haven't been around. We also check your stats on TS and the forums to see how active you have been.
I wish you the best of luck in your recruitment. PM me or ProaceX (the two recruiting admins) if you have any questions.
Look forward to gaming with you.
