1 Interested in joining us? - Crew FAQ

What are you guys like?

Our FAQ will hopefully help determine whether Cubelets is for you!

See also Crew Perks and Rules

Q: I've never been in such a structured crew before! Will I fit in? How about stats? Will you find me too noobish?
A: We as a crew are team players. An eagerness to learn, some common courtesy and a desire to have fun as a team player is all that is needed. Plus Menoob once said that no one is a greenie, they are just pros-to-be.

Q: Are you guys a closed group?
A: This is a tricky one to answer. The short version is no. We love new players. However, we have been told that we're not as open as we'd like to be.

Here's the thing.
We have been playing for awhile, we believe in playing as a team, and having crewbies that respect that. If you can't, you're going to find it hard to "fit in".

Q: What is the demographic of your crew? Which time zone is the most active?
A: Most of us are in our 20s and we are spread out over all 6 continents! 
(No, we don't live in Antarctica)
No matter where you live, you'll have buddies that play at around the same time!

Q: I just came back from a break. Are you guys based on Sage or Hunter?
A: Cubelets is a crew created after the merger, so we are a mixed bag. No matter which side you’re from, we’ll not differentiate.

If you really care, you should just stalk our trophy pages.>:)

Pandorica was created and run by a bunch of old-timey Huntards though :P

Q: What if I only log on once or twice a week for a few hours? Will this affect how much I get to rank up?
A: This is a tricky one to answer. It all depends on what you do with those hours that you are on. Are you a team player willing to help crewbies out? Are you constantly trying to improve? Do we get to know you a little bit?

If rank is the only thing you care about, we are not the crew for you anyway.

Q: I was a big deal on another/this ocean. Now I'm starting over. Can I get O immediately?
A: Hey, I'm sure you're sufficiently experienced to be an Officer. But here in Cubelets, we only promote guys we know and trust.

If you were a decent player, then getting the 3 master+ requisite should be a piece of cake for you anyway, and you'll get promoted soon enough after we run you through our O test :)

Q: The O test? That sounds scary! What if I fail it? Do I not get promoted?
A: Bro, this isn't school. It's a game, where we enjoy ourselves.

It's not a test to see whether you know everything. It's a test to see how much you do know, so we can help you fill in the blanks.

Q: How is it that there seems to be a rule for everything? I just want to log on and have fun!
A: You'll never believe it, but that's exactly what we want too! Which is why we have the rules all laid out crystal clear.
Less drama or less potential for drama = more fun!

Q: Wait, so do you guys just pull the rules out of a hat?
A: Not really. Common sense and logic man. We want it to be as simple as it possibly can be, too! It's also based on Squish's experiences of being a SO and running a flag.

Q: How do you guys run Cubelets?
A: We make crew decisions (mainly promotions past O) and discuss problems that arise as a team (i.e. The Captain and the SOs).

If you want to come in as part of the decision-making, that is fine too. As long as you want to get involved or have an idea for an event etc., just get out there and make it happen.

Q: What if I don't actually want to do anything, and just inntart all day?
A: Hey, as long as you're friendly and comply with our rules, you can sit at the spades table all day. (Which some current crewbies already do.) 
We all have different aspects of the game that we enjoy more than others, and no one should be penalized for that, but do help out your crewbies once in a while.

Hope this answers most of your queries!

The Cubelets Team
