If you have any problems during the process, note the step you were at and ask for help in the in-game channel GS_Help.
REQUIREMENTS:
We are all members of the Something Awful forums, or well-known friends of someone who is a member. To join GoonWaffe you MUST be a member of the Something Awful forums and have been an active poster for at least 3 months (this means you frequently post on SomethingAwful.com not that you just have an account). If you consider yourself a "lurker" we do not want you, go away. Your alternative is that you must have a sponsor who is a GoonWaffe member of good standing who is willing to vouch for you, meets the above requirement, and has been a member of GoonWaffe for 30 days. If you do not meet the above requirements then you cannot join.

For those applying on the basis of a Something Awful account:
People often have trouble at Step 3 if they try it immediately after accepting the invite in game. It can take up to two hours for our systems to detect that you have joined so if you have trouble at first, try waiting a while before trying again. If problems persist send an email to newbies@goonfleet.com saying that you are having a problem.
For those who are being sponsored in:
This is for people who were previous members of Goonwaffe. You still have an active Goonfleet.com forums account, but your account status has been set to either "Vacationers" or "Members" rather than "[GS] Goonfleet" - which is reserved for active members. As a result of this account status change, you have restricted or no access to forums and services.
To start your return, follow these steps:
Please note, you cannot rejoin Goonwaffe unless you have at least one of the following:
Some people have never been in Goonwaffe but nevertheless have a Goonfleet.com forums account (i.e. allies or people who play other games that share our resources).
If you have a Something Awful account which would qualify you to join Goonwaffe as a newbee, it is very likely an accommodation can be made to allow you to join.
Others were members of Goonwaffe for years under a sponsorship, but their sponsor is now gone. If this describes you, you might qualify for naturalization.
Maybe you have a new sponsor.
Finally, some people have been banned or blacklisted but now wish to return. If you are reasonable, this can often be done.
Here is a quick and easy guide to sponsoring:
Fucked up sponsorship? Fucked up groups? Need to update your SA account? Did we fuck up and nuke your forums account by mistake in a stoned stupor? These can be fixed.
Everybody is expected to add alts into the auth system as necessary when they apply. Failure to do so will result in your app being rejected.
Apps are rejected for a few reasons, outlined below starting from most common to least:
If you think you fall into this category you'd better be damn well sure. Anyone claiming to be a special snowflake that isn't will be set perma-DBRB-only. Are you a supercap pilot that needs help due to your flying coffin? We can help. Do you need a character pushed for a high level alliance function such as logistics or fleet PVP? We might be able to push your character right then.
Lastly we would like to cover what NOT to do when dealing with the auth system/directors.
Send an e-mail to newbies@goonfleet.com. Any e-mail should include a short, to the point description of the problem. It should also include the GF.com Forums name, SA Forums name, and the sponsor code if it applies to the situation.
