One Tip: If you want to become a CL_ for the "CL_" and the badge, don't apply.
why would I do that, that's the weirdest thing I've ever heard outta vmk. LOL
It's not that weird. Many players were often heard saying, "I want to be a
leader SO much!" because they thought leaders got free stuff or other
special perks. Or they wanted the status of being a leader. Leaders
don't get perks. Leaders were given the Sorcerer Mickey badge in their signatures
and CL_ in front of their titles so players could recognize them as leaders.
That's it.
In my short lived experience as a leader, I noticed that players who would
visit guest rooms would greet me and ignore my friends. Some players would
ask for my picture. And more often than not, they would ask me to be
their friend, mostly because they wanted a leader on their friends list.
When I've explained that I had a full list and a long wait list, some still asked
me to delete friends just to add them...players I just met and at that
moment, wouldn't want as a friend.
I'm glad the program is being reworked, or perhaps never brought back at all.
I'm still answering questions the same way I've always done before and after
I became a leader. And I know that many former leaders are doing the same.
