Hey, people. New want to join thread, mainly because, NO's recruitment process has been changed to a highly selective, invitation only-ish clan. If you express interest in joining, feel free to post here, but keep in mind that this is no guarantee that you will be even considered.
hanz0 and I will decide who we invite to the clan, and then members can vote on them. Majority rules.

Please only post your interest to join once, and if you've been told no already, don't post at all.

EDIT: Do not post here if you have never seen us before, or if you've only associated with us a few times. Most clan members should know who you are before you even consider posting. Try getting to know us in our IRC channel, #no, or in-game.

I withhold the right to frankly reject you without reason with an amusing stamp, as does hanz0. If anyone else does, feel free to be discouraged, but it is not a final decision.

E-E-EDIT:
As of now, applicants to [NO] must (unless told otherwise) submit an essay according to the following prompt:

Discuss the economic and ethical ramifications of biomedical enhancement, focusing particularly on enhancement of human intelligence

Your discussion should be at least eight pages long in Chicago style format and should include references to prior research and literature.
