Criteria for selecting players

The following was the basis of an email to a group of
potential players:
There's no particularly nice way to sort people and then
exclude some of them, but I can at least indicate what
I'm looking for in a player so you know how you're
getting judged:
# Reliability: Someone who expects to be able to play every Monday is much better than someone who won't show up regularly.
# Participation: Someone who writes emails, updates the wiki, contributes ideas, and the like is better than someone who doesn't.
# Interest: Someone who really likes GURPS, and who is interested in Dungeon Fantasy, is better than someone who is so-so interested.
# Personality/Presentation: Gaming is a social activity, and online gaming depends on an ability to write. Some of this is going to be subjective, but I'll take a good writer over someone incomprehensible.
# Rules knowledge: GURPS is complicated. All other things equal, I prefer people who know the rules, or who are trying to learn them. This factor is minor, though: I'd prefer an interested, reliable newbie over the GURPS Line Editor who couldn't make it on time.
