> The answer to that is: generally (maybe 70% of the time) no. Often I won't know that much about a character, their roleplay and accomplishments, but someone else will. I don't have a char at this time, but you know my last char well enough. > Another (roughly) 10% of the time I'm one of the most qualified to speak to the chances of that particular character. I may or may not be in here, depending on how much you really watched me. > The remaining 20% would be the "Hell NO we're not imming that guy ever" characters and the "Hey, this guy has played a wide range of characters and they were all excellently roleplayed. We'll give them a shot whenever they want it." This is always a possibility I guess. I'd like to think I'm not in this group.
> Something I forgot to mention earlier on criteria: knowledge of the game. This is something where knowing a lot won't really help you but extreme ignorance might. If you need directions to get from Galadon to TV, you're probably just not going to understand the game well enough to make a good imm. In that case I try to turn people away in a "Try with the next character, you'll be good enough then for sure" kind of way.
