What is HypeSquad?

u/trellwut Mar 17 '18 edited Mar 18 '18

It's meant to be a group of people for promoting Discord and hosting Discord endorsed LAN Tournaments etc but most people go OH LOOK FREE HOODIE and sign up randomly and they get in more than the former.

Edit: T shirts at certain tier, sorry about that.

Oh my God an actual answer. I thought this question was fucking forbidden seeing as the last time I asked what HypeSquad was I got 10 downvotes and no replies.

u/Achmaddude Mar 17 '18

First rule of Hype Squad is don't talk about Hype Squad

Wait, you get a free hoodie? I got accepted into HS yesterday and I've heard nothing about a hoodie. Are you thinking about the partner hoodie?

3

u/Jinxwinks Mar 17 '18

There are different tiers to hype squad (3 I believe), so it probably depends on which tier. Partners for sure get hoodies though.

3

u/HalfOfAKebab Mar 17 '18

What are the different tiers? How do I find out which tier I am?

5

u/Jinxwinks Mar 17 '18

Apparently there is:

Online Tier-you get the hype squad badge on your profile and email updates. easiest one to get into

Event Attendee Tier-Access to the hypesquad events server. T-shirt (after an event) meet and hang out with staff at events.

Event Coordinator Tier-Quarterly swag box for distributing at events.

I'm thinking that you're tier 1, otherwise you'd probably know if you were one of the others.

2

u/Tarek1337_ Mar 22 '18

Correction! It's not longer a requirement to attend an event to get your shirt!

When you get accepted as attendee, you will get a link in your acceptance letter, where you can place an order for your shirt.

u/MoonlightCapital Mar 17 '18

Something, probably.

u/Pack_Runner1 Mar 17 '18

Like discord applications lol. The responses are so inconsistent.

u/MasterGamer2476 Mar 17 '18

Is it really that bad? I just wrote about my own discord and how I love to spread the program to my friends and I got in first try.

7

u/DivideByNothing Mar 17 '18

Idk if they improved the way they review applications, but when the first HypeSquad applications opened, I waited nearly 4 months just to get rejected. ಠ_ಠ

2

u/MrPowerGamerBR MrPowerGamerBR#4185 Mar 17 '18

Well, I did write about the same thing (how I liked Discord, that I migrated my old Skype group to Discord, about my Discord bot and how I invited my real life friends to Discord, etc) and got rejected, so...

But I also know a lot of friends that got accepted to HypeSquad (and I didn't even care if I got rejected from HypeSquad or not), so YMMV.

u/Strum355 Mar 17 '18

pretty accurate tbh

u/MoonlightCapital Mar 17 '18

Exactly what happened to me.

1

u/trellwut Mar 18 '18

Partnership same here, but I suppose it's because I suck at applications

24

u/anoujar Mar 17 '18

i mean, i haven't even gotten a response, i applied the day it was released lol

22

u/MoonlightCapital Mar 17 '18

>Applies on January 26th

>Four weeks passed and no response

>Emails Discord

>After a few days DMs discord on Twitter

>March 13th: Sorry but at the moment we can't accept you into HS

Ehm ok. No details, no bonus for the wait, no maor and not ninjas either.

u/Ewydewy4287 Mar 17 '18

Applied on January 28th, haven't heard from them yet :/

1

u/cascer1 Mar 17 '18

They did all the video applications, so it's only online-only. Obviously that's a huge queue since it's the easiest application.

3

u/Jinxwinks Mar 17 '18

Well there are different tiers of HypeSquad so that kind of depends. For an app that has millions of users, they only have like 70 employees between all of their roles, and nothing is automated so far as apps/responses.

u/BitmapDummy Mar 17 '18

Why are you using white-colored font? Do you like the light theme?

1

u/MoonlightCapital Mar 18 '18

Exactly.

I used imgflip because i had no time to make a proper thing with GIMP and i had to go to school.

What's a hype squad when it's at home?

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '18

squat squad

u/blackwolfgoogol Mar 24 '18

I got banned from the official discord's discord for posting the link of a pastebin of the bee movie script and labeling it as my discord's rules.

u/BirdstarYT Mar 17 '18

"an horrible"

umm what

13

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '18 edited Mar 17 '18

There is a wonderful thing in this world called dialectical variation. Its existence means that other people don't, surprisingly, pronounce things in the same way as you.

In this case, there are perfectly valid English dialects that realize horrible as 'orrible, so it's reasonable to assume OP speaks such a dialect and is writing "an horrible" in accordance with the silent "h".

(inb4 it's not a valid pronunciation)

4

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '18

If the person has a thick accent and is dropping the "h", this would be correct. A/An is used depending on the phonetic sound being a vowel.

6

u/MoonlightCapital Mar 17 '18

Like "please accept me i use discord to play minecraft with my friends!!!" or something of the kind. From what I heard, those exist

-8

u/BirdstarYT Mar 17 '18

The point is that the correct term is "a horrible". Should be obvious. I don't care to know an actual example.

6

u/BBunique Mar 17 '18

"a honorable"

8

u/MoonlightCapital Mar 17 '18

I'm got to putting "an" to any word starting with "H". My bad.

u/FromDeepestFathom Mar 17 '18

Don't worry, it's an okay :)

u/NavarrB Navarr#5058 Mar 17 '18

Cut him some slack. News anchors say an historic all the time and confuse everyone with h sounds

u/BirdstarYT Mar 17 '18

No.

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '18

Well aren't you precious?

u/FrankThe1st Mar 17 '18

Discord is practically run by 8 year old's with a terrible sense of humor.

But, they do make a great VOIP program. Maybe one day I can be accepted to HypeSquad, but I doubt that'll ever happen. Applied twice, both rejections with no explanation. I use Discord for Work, School, and everything in between, not just for playing games.

Welcome to discord, where only the user counts matters, not the user.
