Guild Intro: DinkDank

1. What is your primary character's name/class/level?
DinkDank / Mage / 80
Original made the character because In high school I helped conduct a study on world of warcraft in everyday education and that was in 08 and ever since I've continued to play :P
2. If you are interested in raiding with us, are you willing to build a secondary set on this character, and respec as necessary (generally to dps) if the raid needs it, without bitching excessively?
Definitely, I'm always up for improving my character in anyway shape or form. Right now I am spec'd as a Arcane Mage and i've tried FrostFire spec and Frost spec didn't like the DPS outcome as much but I am up for any suggestions or guidance to better my DPS in a duel spec.
3. What alts do you have that you also wish to join the guild?
I am currently working on 3 others alts right now but this is my only 80. They all share a full guild bank but once they hit 70 I am more then prepared to join this guild as it seems very active.
Tell us about your gaming history...
I've been a heavy gamer since I was younger but really got heavy into it with the release of the first Xbox. I played Rainbow Six 3 and the Ghost Recon series on a regular basis and then the release of Halo 2 is where my gaming got excessive lol but am now lighter on gaming but still enjoy it very much. Only currently interested in Blizzard games at the moment. Played Starcraft since the first release. Beta tested for SCII and Diablo LOD so those were neat hopefully I get to do beta for Diablo 3 as I am very interested in doing that.
4. What previous and current MMO's have you/do you play?
Unsettlingly enough when I was in elementary I played Runescape on a regular basis but got out of that quickly after they updated the game with some updates I found ridiculous and too dictating in the game. So entering into Junior High I quickly sold that Runescape account for 850$ online to a Korean gamer :)
5. Describe what makes a good gamer, and then on a scale of 1 to 10 tell us how good a gamer are you, and why?
A good gamer is someone who likes puzzles and thinks ahead in my opinion. Someone who can think from not only one point of view but your team mates and also your enemies so you can react to something that hasn't happened so it doesn't happen. Reflexes and communication is key to any gamers success. I would say I am a 9 out of 10. As alot of experience in gaming on multiple gaming platforms I have gained so much experience and spent so much time unfortunately but I enjoyed it on gaming and learning strategies. The reason I didn't get the 10 out of 10 is because I don't enjoy endgame as much as other gamers it seems in the end of the game when I hit the highest possible level my only goals are after that is to gain cash flow and start another alt. I don't put dedicate time to achievements or to gear score or anything like that. Though now I see Gearscore will help me get into raids and dungeons faster to get more badges for BOA items for my newer characters. Which is why I am interested in joining a well built guild to push me and help me along the way.
6. Have you been in any other guilds, specifically in WoW and on Farstriders? How bout in other games or on other servers? Which? Why did you, or why are you leaving them?
I was in Invictus Casus Sanctus but thats an Alliance guild. I wasn't level 80 yet so I didn't get to participate in much. I left because I transfered to Horde. I also lead a few small guilds and clans in different games but it was so long ago I can only remember one was Clan Skullz in Starcraft but I ran a couple Halo Clans when i was younger but no longer have an xbox. Maybe ill buy another one tomorrow I dunno :P Hard telling.
7. What do you like to do in WoW (world pvp, instances, etc)? What about other games?
As I mentioned earlier I love to earn money by playing the AH and leveling. I also do a little bit of multiboxing which is pretty neat especially when I get a new desktop so I can raid with 2 80's at once :P I like all of blizzard games and COD:MW2 though I got rid of my gaming consoles as I recently moved to Germany.
8. How did you hear about Natural Order? Do you have anyone already inside who could reference you in a good or bad way? (Who?)
I was trying to make a to do list so I can get my Gearscore which as over run the game like crazy so it dictates wether your worthy of a instance or not. So i made a to do list to get better gear when the servers come back up I can start. I noticed alot of it includes doing instances and raids that you cant just PUG so I googled for a guild located on the Farstriders realm that has a big membership list so there are always people I can help and that can also help me achieve things I couldn't do on my own.
9. Have you read all the posts in the About Natural Order section of the forum?
I've read the Rules/Bible one and the ones about the drop points or something like that. I need to re-read over them again so I better understand them but I was anxious about filling the form out so I could get a response :)
10. What are your expectations? What do you think you will gain from joining Natural Order? What would make you happy that you joined us?
I expect from the guild activeness atleast that is what I am hoping for. I am hoping to gain friendships and see some game content I wouldn't of seen other wise.
11. What do you think you can bring to the guild? Why are we going to be happy you joined us?
I could bring some extra humor to the table and organization and well anything I am willing to put into the guild. I have many skills and talents outside of gaming including web design, graphics, webhosting, ventrilo server, shoutcast online radio management and things of the nature.
12. If you are interested in 25 man raiding with us, what are your available nights and times for 25 man raids?
I am currently living in Germany though it doesn't affect to much of my times, though I am 6 hours ahead of the east coast. I am normally on whenever I do not work which fluctuates in the Military but I have Sundays and Mondays off and I work from 8am-6pm EST time normally (2pm-12pm) my time. So normally I am available during most hours except the ones listed.

23. Tell us something cool that happened to you recently in real life. If cool things don't happen to you make something up. (hint - think of this as more of an essay...try and tell a story here, preferably something that actually happened to you)
Well I am in the US Airforce I enlisted last year and finished my training in March. I am now based in Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany. I work around multi million dollar Aircraft all day and Its fun but at times miserable lol. My Fiancé just came to visit but went back stateside (OH-Home of the Buckeyes) and is finishing up her college degrees then heading over here with me for good. That's about it though :P Oh Oktoberfest is coming up next week though so Im pretty stoked about that lol.
24. Pretend there is someone in the guild that you must eliminate. You want to join the guild, but this person will prevent your application from being accepted. What methods have you selected to dispose of them before they can affect your application? If you don't know anyone, pretend you do, and describe how you'd eliminate them. This question is not optional. Do your worst.
I don't know anyone but I would say I would take this person shoot them in the little toe with an old school long bow (Robin Hood Style) lol and then through them in a mud pit with some hungry pigs :) lol wow that sounds terrible. Just put these things together from multiple movies Ive recently watched lol.
25. If you half-assed this application, and didn't even attempt to give us more than a sentence on a single question, why the hell should we still accept this application?
I didn't half-ass it but I would say because the name DinkDank is just Hella funny:) (Was funnier he was a Gnome but I Xfered to Horde)

Gotcha
What made you transfer horde?
Meh
Well I wanted Horde in the first place but since the school study everyone had to be Alliance to let the school approve it. So I got stuck with Alliance. There I got tired of Alliance and it seemed to be full of tons of little kids at the time.
The school wouldn't approve horde?
Why because the horde were the "bad guys"?
Idk
I assumed it was because they looked inappropriate and demonic for school lol
*The school board may be full of Alliance noobs too.. thats always a possibility deep down
Leveling vs End Game
I think if you get a chance to experience end-game content on a regular basis you will become a believer in it.
Quite possibly, but an altoholic is an altoholic
I remember getting my first character to 70 and thinking, oh shit, what do I do now? I did figure that out, but I have to say that I enjoy watching each class come to life as I level up. New skills, new abilities--some of them worthless, others freaking awesome. I like lower level pvp too, although hours of it could drive me bonkers. The "no resilence bracket" as Crick calls it-- Yes for now the quests are the same old thing.
A lot of end-game content relies on other people--heroics, raids, bg. This is a blessing and a curse. It is incredibly satisfying to down a boss that you've worked for weeks on, and it is lovely to finish raiding for the night and hop to an alt. By all means try end game content, but alting has charms aplenty.
Yeah I guess i just never
Yeah I guess i just never gave it a chance because the time you have to have to get badges for gear cause DPS take so long for groups
