+1/Neutral
I'll start off by saying I haven't been around for a long time (roughly 3 months), but I haven't had any bad experiences with Tom with my time on the server, although people are saying he can be a bit "off the hooks" or that he "has a bad reputation", people change and the story seems to be pretty solid. It seems to me that he would really like this, taking into consideration that it's his 3rd application. I believe he deserves a shot at EP.
Goodluck to you Tom!
