Quote:GMG - Your request has FAILED - Oh dear.. This pains me to say. You started to pick up. You were a bit too late though. If only you were a little sooner at things, you probably would have passed. Before the hardship date though, you don't really have anything to show for it. The GMG was mostly blank. I'm sorry folks, but you've failed the application. - You're more than welcome to aim for Official again. Keep this up, you'll make it too.
As someone who actively helps GMG to get on their feet again, I would just like to comment that this decision comes as a big disappointment. I think progress after Belck's taking over is clearly visible. The decision to "not honour" the huge progress (it's not what you intend, obviously, but it's how it is received nonetheless) is a very effective means of demotivating those who have been trying really hard and who have come a long way in little time.
Anyway, that's the facts now. I hope Belck just re-applies immediately and we get some shortened application procedures due to a rather harsh decision here and now. That would be a means of showing appreciation of effort spent.
