I've dealt with him before. He is a veteran player, with some diplomatic savvy.
The only catch, obviously, to the application is the aggression he eludes to. I think if he was willing to restrain himself a bit in that realm, and accept the Morkin position on such thing (i.e., mainstealing a smaller player simply because you can is not gentlemanly behavior), he could be a solid member.

I'm not that happy that he thinks he can go on stealing isles 'without involving the alliance'. Either he's with us, or not. If he wants to do his own thing then he shouldn't be with us.

I don't like the idea of mainstealing at all. It would be so disappointing to have just obtained your second island, and then see the first that you worked on for months to be gone. It seems way too aggressive. Also the idea that he can do those things without involving the alliance or damaging its reputation seems unlikely. Although in some areas personal views and alliance views may differ, the actions of players effect the alliance regardless, and a member must defer to the alliance philosophy.
I would say no, or at the very least inquire as to whether or not he is willing to adjust some of his playing habits.

Yeah, in it's current iteration, his application doesn't fit our mantra. No.

He seems a good player to me. If he wants to stay, he'll have to be less aggressive. So he has to take our colo polecy

That depends on what you mean by a "good" player. He can certainly expand if that's what you mean, what with his policies. I'll have to say no though. Just as a side note, it annoyed me that he called computers a hobby. Doing things with computers, that might be considered a hobby, but computers in themselves is merely an interest

Id be more than happy to have him if he would give his main stealing habit up. Perhaps he can be asked?

I would say no, He indicates that it is OK to main steal
We only accepty that sort of aggression when at war, his whole app suggests that he will act this way. In this instance I beleive that we should say no on the grounds that he is aggressive and we are not

I think main stealing is acceptable if the main has very poor defenses. Can be a good lesson to colo whores. Other than that, doing this on a daily basis might be out of Morkin mentality.
Besides being more aggressive than Morkin in general, he seems like a good member. He would have to give up that part of his play style to fit here tho.
If he agrees to that, I would vote yes.

Stealing mains is not acceptable unless we're at war. If a player colonises with poor defenses he should be told to build up his defenses, but that would require spying, and I wouldn't spy someone unless I already intend to attack the isle, which is very much a war-like act.

Well said RapSO, Morkin+ has a tight colonisation policy which is well respected and should be stuck to.
Application rejected due to majority no votes.
