Granted, my impartiality might not be intact due to my penchant for villagers, but that also means I've done a *lot* of interviews.

I really don't think the process is that hard...to get my rec, you have to know, like he said, the history of the village well enough to answer a few simple questions, have a decent reason for hating magic (If i can tell you're new, a mediocre one will do), and have killed atleast one or two mages.

If you meet those requirements, I'll give you a shot. If not, I'll tell you to go do them...pretty simple. If I have more time for an in-depth interview, I'll do it, but otherwise thats the basic structure...and, by the way, seems to work for when I'm being interviewed too.

The village may have a more in-depth process, like the man said, than say empire or tribunal, but its there for a good reason.
