A) Warhammer-Destruction
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) I can more than triple that age-----------------so yea I am
Q) Have you read at least one of our example applications? [this is highly recommended]
A) LOL this time I have read all that were posted
Q) Do you have any relatives or friends currently in the guild, or were you recruited by someone? If so, who?
A) At the moment I have three relatives in Hammerfist. Weazel, Asheran, and gizmocaca. These are three of my sons--Like the old T.V. show "my three sons". Opps most of you probable are too young to remember that show. (a sitcom from the 60's). Anyway I have an additional two sons and three daughters (yea thats right 8 children in total plus an additional 15 grandchildren)
Q) Name: [planned in game/forum name]
A) Painmaker is the only toon I have at the moment--may add others in the future.
Q) Gender: [female, male]
A) Last time I checked ---- male
Q) What region do you live in? [City and State is fine.]
A) Washington D.C. area
Q) How did you hear about us: [friend, another member, forum, google, other mmo's, etc]
A) From the three kids already in 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. I originally applied to Hammerfist some time back. At that time I had thought one of my sons had already told everyone about me and that the application was only a formality. Because of that I was a little brief in my responses, and as a result, the application was rejected. I have been a guild master and an alliance leader on DAOC and some of the guilds merely go thru the motions of an application process. It appears that someone actually reads your applications. I have been in the position of ejecting people from a guild that did not fit in--so I can appreciate the challenge of screening applicants. In any event--the only guild I have applied to is yours. I have played solo up to this point joining public groups and senarios. In that manner I have learned the game in a little more detail from the perspective of my class/marauder.
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 have a "dry" sense of humor. Be careful what you say because I will turn your words around and tease you for it. My wife accuses me of being the oldest child in the family. I accept and appreciate others sense of humor.
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 played DAOC for over 5 years. During that time I was in 3 guilds--I do not like to jump around.
Q) What makes you want to join us over some of the other guilds? [let us know!]
A) Never seriously considered other guilds----have always presumed the 4 members of my family would be in the same guild. IN fact that is probably the reason I have canceled both of my accounts at DAOC. As a result I have not investigated other guilds. I have received several offers to join guilds after grouping with people and helping them out---but it has been my experience that a casual invite or joining on the spur of the moment without at least knowing someone in the guild is not the best formula. Additionally, I am not a 24 hour a day player, and some players and even some guilds live and breathe for the current game. Your guild statements seem to indicate that my gaming style and playing time would fit in with your guild purpose. I like to get to know the people I play with and part of my enjoyment of the game is to help others have a positive experience when they play.
Q) Please tell a little about yourself, aside from gaming. Perhaps some hobbies, about your work, favorite story etc.
A) HMMMM by training I am a CPA owned my own firm for a number of years. I did my undergraduate and graduate work in accounting. Also spent some time in investment banking (extablishing tax shelters for clients). I am now "semi-retired". I used to be quite active in racquetball (played for more than 35 years) until an injury ended that carrer. Now I read quite a bit--I read by author so I have read everything by some authors--Stephen King--Ludlum---Mitchner--Koontz---Dan Brown--Richard North Patterson--also read all Harry Potter--John Jakes--Lord of the rings--Narnia--and a bunch of others. I usually read 1 or 2 books a week. With the advent of ventrillo the online gaming cultural has changed dramitically, and I enjoy the companionship of actually talking while playing. As a result I read -- do volunteer work--attend to a few clients I have kept from the sale of my business--and play an (and I mean a single one only) online game.
Q) Do you have any questions for us?
A) Not at this time. My kids have all voiced positive things for the people of Hammerfist and I feel that I can both enjoy the guild and be an asset to other members.
A) Warhammer-Destruction
