Subject: Insta Candidate Applications: OPENED!

GOOD EVENING!

This cycle we're trying something a little different: we're opening Insta Candidate Applications Early! What is an Insta Candidate?

First check out this: http://harpers-tale.wikidot.com/southern-search:insta-candidate-info

An 'Insta Candidate' is a character that someone has currently on game that they want to impress without the stress of a PC Candidacy. Other than approving the player's dragon concept according to Southern's theme, SearchCo has very little involvement with the story that the player wants to write for their character. They get all the benefits of getting to interact with the Candidates without having the pressures of PC Search - of course this means they do not get an inspiration at the end (unless they write one themselves or get a friend to write it - but SearchCo does not put time and effort into an Insta Candidate's dragon).

The benefit of doing an Insta Candidate over an Insta Weyrling is: you get to pick a character already on grid that you're familiar with! You get to 'Impress on camera' and join weyrlinghood at the same time as everyone else, thus enjoying the perks of having PC weyrlings to play with!

Interested? Head on over to: http://harpers-tale.wikidot.com/southern-search:insta-cand-app and fill out the application!

APPLICATION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 12, 2015 @ 6PM PST/8PM CST/9PM EST.

NOTE: According to our policy enacted in January of 2015 —> SearchCo members will be allowed to option an existing character for an insta-candidate so long as the alt is disclosed and the privacy of the traditional candidates is not breached by the inclusion. All SearchCo Insta Candidate Alts will be disclosed to the Candidate Group at large so there is *no* confusion.

Questions? Comments? Feel free to ask K'ane or El'ai OR @send *js!

ChessCo: Now accepting cash and VISA/MasterCard along with, of course, checks.
