Q) What MMO do you currently have the most interest in playing?
A) Warhammer Online, though I'm also looking at playing Jumpgate: Evolution, though that game isn't anywhere close to release.
Q) Have you read our Code of Conduct and Forum Rules?
A) Yes.
Q) Are you at least 18 years of age? [yes, no, actual age is optional]
A) Yes, I am 23.
Q) Have you read at least one of our example applications? [this is highly recommended]
A) Yes.
Q) Do you have any relatives or friends currently in the guild, or were
you recruited by someone? If so, who?
A) Yes, my wife is in the guild. Her guild name is Averna.
Q) Name: [planned in game/forum name]
A) My planned name in the game is "Connacht". Averna has kindly reserved it for me, as EB ran out of beta and early access codes for the collector's edition after I pre-ordered it, and the pre-order boxes at my local Best Buy were pilfered of their codes. So no love for me there
Q) Gender: [female, male]
A) Male
Q) What region do you live in? [City and State is fine.]
A) Currently I live in Lawernce Kansas, though I will be moving out to the Washington D.C. area, hopefully before the end of the year.
Q) How did you hear about us: [friend, another member, forum, google, other mmo's, etc]
A) My wife, Averna, told me about the guild.
Q) Are you currently in any other AoC, LOTRO, or Warhammer guilds?
A) No.
Q) Have you applied to any other guilds?
A) No.
Q) We like to have fun, how's your sense of humor? Not so good? Good?
You're a standup comedian you say?
A) My sense of humor tends to get tailored to the people with whom I spend my time. I can do anything from a sophisticated witty remark to commenting about the quality of your mother's genitals, if I think it will amuse you. I'm not interested in making people laugh at someone else's expense, however. If I don't think someone will like a joke told about them, then it won't happen. Though if you have a phobia of mustard, I promise that I will pour some on you at some point. (See the first Jackass Movie)
Q) What other MMO's have you played if any: [Acquired a few skills from
some other games eh? Tell us about them]
A) I have played more than I want to list. I started with Jumpgate in 1999 and did SWG in 2003 for a bit. My main expertise in MMOs comes from SWG, EQ2, and World of Warcraft.
Q) What makes you want to join us over some of the other guilds? [let us know!]
A) I really like they way this guild is structured and more importantly, the attitude behind said structure. I also like the 18+ rule, which while not guaranteeing freedom from immaturity, it does tend to retard it significantly.
Q) Please tell a little about yourself, aside from gaming. Perhaps some
hobbies, about your work, favorite story etc.
A) Aside from gaming, I currently work at a coffee shop while I wait for the final hiring processes of my job in the Washington D.C. area to be completed. I also work as the volunteer coordinator for a state senate campaign here in Kansas' 3rd District, as well as holding a membership in the American Taekwondo Association, where I go 5 days out of the week for classes and exercise. All in all, I've managed to keep myself pretty busy.
As for a story? Well, here's one from a couple of years ago when I was a resident at the Stephenson Scholarship Hall at the University of Kansas:
Before the great purge of 2005, where 35 of us were kicked out of the Hall, (No one would rat out anyone else, so they had to do a major purge) there was an incident with a water fountain on the second floor. The maintenance people had for some reason disconnected the water fountain and for two weeks, it set in the hallway despite the dumpsters being not 50 feet from their current location. Now, the maintenance people could have at any point in these two weeks. But no, they just left it there. So as responsible people, we decided to take action. The water fountain was summarily taken to the third floor fire escape, lit on fire, and thrown off onto the concrete below. In summary, a flaming water fountain fell three stories and landed on a solid concrete surface. The whole thing was video recorded for posterity.
This is but one example and story of my time at Stephenson Hall. If you liked it, I have a lot more for the future.
