Application advice!
Hello potential application poster! This topic should give you some useful tips to improve your application quality, and what not to do!
First off, atleast twenty lines of roleplay doesn't mean it has to be EXACTLY 20 lines. People who go over with good RP definitely get points. Also the roleplay examples are supposed to equal a story, not random lines of RP that could occur at any time. Another thing, backstories... A backstory should consist of what happened during childhood, teenage years, adult, etc. and what happened to them when the combine invaded. The backstory is supposed to be a STORY!!! Try to tell a good story of your character's life, making things as realistic as possible yet fun to read. One thing to remember is that CPs killed people under 18 and you can't get into a city if you were outside when thar invasion happened.
You just posted your app!
Now you just posted your app, you may be a bit nervous, or calm as you've done this 23.8 times before. As soon as you post your app however, don't immediately pester admins saying "I posted my app, when will it be checked!?" it's fine to announce you posted it, just don't keep asking over and over if someone will check it.
You were accepted!
You were just accepted into the CCA, congratulations! But as they say, with great power comes great responsibility. As CCA, NEVER POWERGAME. I can tell you it gets pretty damn annoying when some 05 thinks just because they're CP they can S2K and do /me's without any rolls. You need to give citizens a chance! Another thing you should NEVER DO *raises ban hamma* is this: You're playing as a civvie for whatever reason, you see something bad happening, maybe some people in the apartments are being webuls. This NEVER gives you permission to switch to CP and "Sweep the apartments." unless another GOOD reason is found. Also you have to get permission from an OfC+ to check apartments or sweep slums.
That's all I can think of for now, follow these and you should be fine.

Well said, Try to make sure that your backround story relates and tells us how your character will turn out in the future or what division he will join, include skills and so on.

It's a good advice for new roleplayers, or people that dont make good apps, but the most important... they need motivation, you cant help them if they dont help themselves.

And whatever weird ways you may have of getting past the "You may not pick up items on other characters" thing, DO NOT USE CP TO FUNNEL ITEMS TO OTHER CHARACTERS.
