[QUOTE="Sholari, post: 1866514, member: 6059"] Access Denied - This can be a good resource, but you have to be persistent as a lot of the postings are rather old. Meetup - Never gone to one myself, but I've heard interesting stories from people who have. Typically, three quarters of the people bordering on strange, while a quarter are okay. My recommendation is to screen people through the phone and email. Then meet with them once in a fairly public place. I tend to gauge occupation and hobbies to look for a well-balanced person. This isn't to say that I'm looking for some rocket scientist. More things like can this person hold a steady job? Do they demonstrate responsibility in their personal life? Also, ask an open-ended question about what they consider a great game to look for cohesiveness in gaming style. I've only ever had one player that I have picked with issues, and that is because I circumvented my typical process in a rush to fill the slot. [/QUOTE]
