they do, plus a lot of people notoriously tdm in places they never plan to app to voice test or just for a good time. so there's nothing wrong with allowing people to tdm, as long as the expectations are clear.

i just don't see what's in it for shari, since if only people she knows can join anyway, having to mod over (take tdm and app questions) randos who will never be allowed in seems a bit inefficient. but maybe she doesn't care or knows her existing playerbase is so slow, the only way for newbies to get a decent taste of things on the test drive is to have strangers participate.
