Predator Squad Preferences Survey

Post by Sneakyr » 31 Dec 2017, 22:12

I originally posted this in Discord without a reason as to why I was asking, but since this is a forum post instead I'll just go ahead and reveal it.
For many of us, whether we give a +1 or remain neutral regardless of app quality is highly based on personal experience with a player. I was letting my mind wander while browsing predator apps and I realize that whether or not we interact with a player regularly is highly dependent on whether or not we have a preferred squad, and if so, whether or not a player is in that squad.
What I want to know is whether or not there is a squad where the majority of predator players spend their time. If so, this would mean that that squad would likely be the "predator squad" and would be best for any applicant to set in their preferences assuming they want as much attention from predator players as possible.
Mostly, this is to satisfy my own curiosity on the subject, and I won't be publishing my findings or anything like that (I'm not opposed to someone else doing it, however).

Here's the poll, thanks for your time:

Like... when posting an app, you say which is your favorite squad so players that main that squad can +1 or -1 easily?

Knowing the player that's applying and judging them based on your interactions with them is only really important in my opinion if you've had bad experiences with them, otherwise you'll just be giving them praise that ultimately doesn't relate to the quality of the application itself.

If we're basing opinions on apps solely on 'Do I know this guy and if so do I remember him doing the RP good' you're doing it wrong. The entire purpose of the application is to give them the chance to prove they understand the concept of RP and restraint by not creating some special snowflake monster man.
