I apologize ahead of the time if this has been said before.

I'm sure everyone has noticed that there is always at least one post in the recent topics sections asking to do a let's play. It's always fun until you get to it and you see this:

Application
IGN:
Maturity:
Can you host a server?
Can you record?
Skype:
Age:

Ok let's back up a bit. Past the Age and Skype request which is against the rules to request personal information and up to the part about asking if you can host a server or record the video.

What's wrong with that? EVERYTHING! Come on, you wanna have this awesome lets play get together, but you want someone else to go to the work of hosting a server? To deal with the lag of recording it? The absolute least you can do is host your own server for YOUR lets play. To record YOUR own video for the lets play YOU wanted to have.

Personally it just seems like flat out laziness on your part. It's just not right asking for other people to work so that you can have a measly video to prove you were able to play with 3 other people.

I'm sure there will be plenty of you out there disagreeing with me saying that it's completely ok to be asking these things of the people you want to play with. That it's ok to not have a server and ask for one. That it's ok that you don't want to deal with the lag of recording so you make someone else do it. If you're one of those people I have no problem with your opinion. I'm not judging. I'm just speaking my mind.

Now I leave the rest to the readers to critique. PEACE!

It really isn't. but people seem to be incapable of figuring it for themselves and ask other people to do it for them. It's actually really sad.

It isn't difficult. But some people ( like me ) can't host it, neither with hamachi or anything else. So maybe they have the same problem?
( Not stating that I have done this asking for partners ).

I agree with you.

These freeloaders are a blight on our community and should die in a fire.

(I AM judging btw)
