I went for swimming, I came back and I see 2 rejected and one standing..
Too much passion..
Anyway.. On topic..
1) Guests/members dont have to make applications for recruit...
2) If you think that your builds are really good and objectively speaking you could promote yourself, then continue..
3) I suggest you too, to wait near your building untill an OP comes online..(old experience with results..)
4) Build on /j Member which has less grief...
I am not the appropriate to judge, but I say some things to help you and the other candidates too.
Good luck!
