is it about stronger applications, Zola?
I think so.
In the above situation, it might not be the actual application and its strength, from the given captain. Instead it might be the general impression the admins have gotten of this captain based on his/her repeated applications. It shows a tenacity and that the captain really wants to be a part of the league. That might be something the admins rate really strong.
Therefore it's in my opinion still related to a strong application even though the decision from the admins, in this case, maybe not is based entirely on what the captain has written in his current application.
