Well, to start, I found the clan while playing in-game. They've been extremely friendly to me this past week, and I am truly astonished by the maturity held in the Delta clan. Out of all the clans, this is my favorite due how welcoming everyone was to me. I've even made a bit of an acquaintance with a couple of the members, and they have been extremely helpful to me. That's amazing, considering I've only known them for slightly over a week. The Delta members are very social, and were supporting the idea of joining this clan for a while now.
On to the subject about myself; I'm a total pessimist. This is kind of an awkward way to start talking about my personality, but it's 100% true. When I was originally recommended to apply for Delta, I was thinking that this was a big-shot clan, and that the only people accepted were the experts. I was told this was not true, but I was very dubious about being accepted into the clan, because I am horrible at Ace Of Spades, compared to everyone else in Delta. It took me a while to even brave to begin to compose the application for this, and even after proof-reading and revising all of this, I'm still naturally skeptical about being accepted; I might be wrong, but I suppose my personality won't let me shake the feeling. I also try to make the wise jokes here and then, but I am barely funny at all (pessimism.)
Oh, I'm also a musician. Well, I will be a musician. I am in the process of learning how to compose and produce music. Specifically Electronica. Also Rock, if I ever come to learning how to play a guitar.
My taste for music derived from video games. I was always a big fan video games, and games with awesome soundtracks. I could not really blame any particular game; there are so many titles that have influenced me to pursue musical studies. However, the main game series you could hold responsible would be the first era of the Need For Speed franchise. All of the original games had amazing interactive soundtracks, and they're some of my favorite compositions I've ever listened to. My idol music artist would probably be the Canadian music artist, Romolo Di Prisco, who was responsible for a large amount of the original Need For Speed soundtracks, and other games, such as Mass Effect 2 and Unreal Tournament, which inspires me to follow a musical career of my own. So far, the only musical instrument I actually own is a Casio keyboard, which is situated right next to my computer. I also use the world's most overrated music software ever, Fruity Loops Studio, (and won't be for long.) I have no skill with either of these at all, and I have never composed anything in my entire life, but if I do, I would be glad to share it with others, given anybody would be interested. It's really become an awesome hobby of mine, and my greatest dream is to someday compose music for games that people can enjoy. Now that I've talked enough about myself, I'll end this introduction, and turn to the second body of my application. I'm sorry for the long introduction, but I feel that this is the most (and likely only) interesting thing about myself.

Did you read the entire recruitment page: Yes.
Will you make an attempt to stay active, both in game and on the forums: Yes, I will do my best.
Why you want to join:
I was recommended by one of the Delta members, and after playing with them, all the members seem really fun to be with. To be honest, this was one of the first clans I've experienced on Ace of Spades that were talented in the game, but were extremely mature. It felt really nice to play with people who are better than myself, and to not be made fun of or criticized in any way. It really took me by surprise; the longer I played with some of your members, the more fun I had with them. The Delta members are great to get along with because they're not judging you solely on your skill in the game. The true reason I want to join your clan is the awesome community that comes with it.
In any case, I truly believe that the back story and career choice as a musician is the only interesting thing about myself, so please forgive me if my application was too long. It's probably one of the few things I truly feel passionate about, but I understand if nobody actually cares. I've honestly got to say, I actually had some fun writing this application, and I hope you guys have fun reading it, too. The thought of joining you guys in the clan is great, too. I can't wait to see what fun activities and stuff you guys do while in the game, and to get to know you all better. It really helped to write this application, based on the wisdom and advice of one of the members, that the game and the clan is about having fun, and not about winning or how good you are. Before I wrap this application up, I would really like to accord some thanks to the members of the Delta. I really couldn't resist adding an indebted note to the clan. The warm welcoming to Ace of Spade given to my by you guys was awesome, as I am new at this game, and mediocre at the game.
Thanks,

Oh, and I apologize for the super-duper long Introduction. I would have split it into paragraphs, but I was too afraid I would have been unaccepted for not following the format.
Also, I worked on this over a time period of maybe four days.
