JOIN - Application Syan [APPROVED]

Are you at least 18+ years of age? Yes - 41

Name: Syan

Gender: Male - But MMO history has shown that my main characters almost always end up being female and non-human (my wife deals with it - hope you can too). It's especially fun for TeamSpeak and Ventrillo!

How did you hear about us: Your post on AoC Forums

We like to have fun, how's your sense of humor? Not so good? Good? You're a standup comedian you say? I don't take myself too seriously - I make more fun of myself more than anyone else possible could. I have a somewhat cynical and dry sense of humor but am respectful not to make light of one's beliefs in politics, religion, sexual orientation, etc. - I play MMO's for FUN! Not to be cruel.

What other MMO's have you played if any: My first official MMO was EQ , then DAoC, Horizons, EQ2, WoW, Vanguard, LOTRO. (of course in the ancient times before MMOs, I was playing Infocom text-based adventures and Sierra Online Games....yay Zork!).

What makes you want to join the clan? I really like your stand on creating a guild that is based on community friendship with active, mature players who respect each other and have a sense of family in and out of game.

And lastly, tell us about yourself: I find myself back in college after being dis-illusioned with my "career" and I am also finding that I am a much better student in my late 30's/early 40's. I have plans to teach English Lit after completing grad school. Since I don't hold down a regular job, my schedule is a bit more sporadic, but also flexible at times. I have a wife who is in nursing and is a loyal DDO player - and a son who is into...well, I'm not quite sure what he is into, but he's a good kid. My family takes priority - always.
What else? Oh - I love dungeon crawls (especially when it's the whole group's first time) and plan to spend time adventuring and crafting in AoC. I can tell you that I am NOT in beta as of this writing, so it will all be new to me unless something changes within the next month - besides a possible open beta.

Very nice app Syan. I too am back in college in my mid 40s but the wife (also in nursing) makes me keep my full time job. What a slave driver. Where are you located, we have about 6 members who all live in Phoenix most just found the clan by accident. It will be fun I look forward to meeting you in game.

He gets a yes from me and it was sure easy to read with yellow text .

looks good but I have never understood the male players having female characters thing

Yes this is a clear example of a very good app. Was a very nice read.

Welcome aboard!

I make female toons simple for the fact I will look at it for months or years and they usually look better in gear than the males. Plus it depends on the class. If I decide on a barbarian then I will probably roll a female named Dancer. That was the name I used for my Monk in EQ2 and I liked the concept of an ex dancer dual wielding bringer of pain .

Yeah - I can respect that, Garell - maybe it comes with age - I got about 20 years on you - but to me an MMO is a roleplaying game - not a play what you are in real life game. I think years of Tomb Raider (Lara Croft) is what made it okay with me. Anyway - I play males too - but since I play in 3rd person - I agree with Kohr - I much prefer the view

And thanks for the approval!

Loved to hate this game. I played it relentlessly, stayed up more hours into the night than should have with work just a few hours away... I can't even begin to tell you how many times I launched the controller across the room in frustration.... this game and series was very fun, addicting, but having to repeat so much of an area if you died, REALLY brought out the worst in me. Luckily, I weaned myself off of it eventually and headed into PC games, probably saving myself an eventual heart attack

Welcome Syan....hope to battle with u next month.
