interest in playing? If Warhammer, which branch? (Destruction, Order
or both.)
A)Currently Warhammer is hoovering up my free time. I have a few destruction toons on Red Eye Mountain - R17 DoK, and lesser alts.
Q) Have you read our Code of Conduct and Forum Rules?
A)Crap, no. [[insert tab switching]] Yes.
Q) Are you at least 18 years of age? [yes, no, actual age is optional]
A)Yes indeed. 37.
Q) Have you read at least one of our example applications? [this is highly recommended]
A)Yes, several. Should I have studied the denial example so closely?
Q) Do you have any relatives or friends currently in the guild, or were
you recruited by someone? If so, who?
A) M7_B5 is my younger bro. We've been scouting for a guild in Warhammer for awhile, and he pointed me here.
Q) Name: [planned in game/forum name]
A)Lontano (a song by Jose Padilla, not to be confused with Jose Padillo, the terrorist). Alts will probably be some variation.
Q) Gender: [female, male]
A)Male
Q) What region do you live in? [City and State is fine.]
A)Chicago, IL
Q) How did you hear about us: [friend, another member, forum, google, other mmo's, etc]
A)As above, M7_B5
Q) Are you currently in any other AoC, LOTRO, or Warhammer guilds?
A)Yes... but let me explain. I was invited cold-call into a WAR guild when I was first wandering around in the game and decided to see what the guild social scene is like. Unfortunately, the guild is dead, meaning it's still there but guild chat is digital tumbleweeds. I have more correspondence with my water company. I'm looking to move on (i.e., I'll leave that one).
Q) Have you applied to any other guilds?
A)Nope.
Q) We like to have fun, how's your sense of humor? Not so good? Good?
You're a standup comedian you say?
A)I tend to have a bit of a macabre sense of humor. Runs in the family. Additionally, my laugh button sometimes gets stuck in the "on" position at the worst times. Weddings, arguments, etc. Example: I was night golfing with a couple of friends (we were broke at the time). Friend 1 was teeing up, friend 2 was not paying attention. Everything went fine on the backswing, until Friend 2 walked right into the follow-through and took a shot to the forehead. It kinda sounded like king kong thumping the world's largest mellon . Friend 1 and I immediately went into hysterics while Friend 2 was wandering around determining if he still had a cranium. We laughed all the way to the emergency room. Friend 2 survived.
Q) What other MMO's have you played if any: [Acquired a few skills from
some other games eh? Tell us about them]
A)Played WoW as a main tank for a guild for about 1.5 years. Drama and too much seriousness about the game ended up killing off the guild and I gave up for awhile. Tried City of Heroes for a bit (1 week) but couldn't really get into it for some reason. Regarding skills, I do admit to being a total addon addict. I'm constantly messing with the interface, logging on to curse.com to see what's new, etc. I also dig working the auctionhouse. In fact, in WoW I had a period where that's all I did for 2 weeks solid (not doing that again). I ended up making about 10k gold, which I then distributed around through guild chat trivia rewards. "Q: For 100gp, how many pounds of skin does the average human shed during their lifetime? A: 105". <-- the best thing about that question is you need to think it through, which forces the ewwwwwwww reflex.
Q) What makes you want to join us over some of the other guilds? [let us know!]
A)I dig the focus on a sense of humor and personality. It's fun to kill stuff, but better yet to kill stuff and smile.
Q) Please tell a little about yourself, aside from gaming. Perhaps some
hobbies, about your work, favorite story etc.
A)Well, I'm a corporate flunky working in IT for a financial institution, which feels a bit like being Leonardo Dicaprio on the bow of the Titanic. I travel quite a bit for work, mostly to Europe. I also fly around a good bit with the family for enjoyment, although it's been a bit less fun lately due to GWB. I'm a big cigar and scotch fan, although I'm buying much cheaper cigars these days. I suppose if I had to pick any cartoon character to describe myself, it would be Sarcastro from The Tick (how many know that vague reference).
Q) Do you have any questions for us?
A) How many quarts of saliva does the average person produce in a lifetime (guess, google=cheating!)?
Q) Do you have vent?
a) Yes, but I sometimes prefer to just use chat. I had an experience once with my old WoW guild where I was on vent during a raid and the wife walked in while everyone was laughing. Unfortunately, we had a few with interesting chuckles, so it sounded a bit like when all the puppets laugh on the muppet show. Any time I launched WoW from then on was always followed by "have fun with the nerds" from somewhere behind me. So yes, I can vent, but I'll probably use headphones
.
