Guild Introduction : Acyana

1. What games are you looking to join us in?

I spend my time frolicking around the lovely land of Azeroth.

2. Do you have characters on our servers already? If so list the ones you have which you plan to guild. 

Name: Acyana
Class: Paladin
Level: 85
Primary Spec: Holy
Off-spec: Retribution

Tell us about your gaming history...

3. What previous and current MMO's have you/do you play?

While I do play other games, as far as MMOs go, it has only been World of Warcraft.

4. Describe what makes a good gamer, in your opinion:

A good gamer has a sense of humor; knowledge and the willingness to obtain more; and someone that knows that there are, in fact, people (real, live people!) on the other side of that screen that they can use for their bidding... Or mutually make gaming even more fun. Probably the latter.

5. On a scale of 1 to 10 tell us how good a gamer are you, and why?

Hmm. A quick calculation is in order. (Awesome - using some players as minions) + extra hilarious = 9. Must strive for GREATNESS! :D 

6. Have you been in any other guilds on servers which we play on? How about in other games or on other servers? Which? Why did you, or why are you leaving them? Basically we're looking for a basic history that you've had with guilds previously.

I have been in other guilds on Farstriders, namely Ex Cinis Cineris and The Senatus Altius... I suppose this is the time for my dirty secrets to come out...

/watches skeletons pour out of a closet

... Both of which are Alliance guilds. I left ECC after two years due to a personal dispute which I will more than happily elaborate in a more private conversation if necessary, was guildless for nearly a year just lolligagging around in trade for PUGs, and I have been with TSA for a little over a year and I have no plans on leaving. I raid with them regularly (twice a week) with my main, a restoration shaman.

As a side note, I originally made this toon with the intention of getting to see WoW from the other factions' perspective as far as questing goes and it has grown on me more than expected, so much so I have been toying with the idea of faction changing my other 85s. I wanted to test out the waters, get to know some people and see where it goes from there. (It is just so hard to deny that draenei waggle my shaman has though...)

7. What do you like to do with your time in WOW or SWTOR?

Achievements and raiding are my favorite things to do. Currently I leveled a toon of the opposite faction just for new quests, a new perspective and new people to meet.

Talk to us about Natural Order...

8. How did you hear about Natural Order?

I happened to be browsing the forums trying to find a guild since I get oh-so-lonely just talking to myself.

9. Is there a current member of Natural Order who could reference you in a good or bad way? (Who?)

Not that I know of.

10. Have you read all of the posts in the About Natural Order section of the forum? (this is very important to us)

I did. It was at 4:30 in the morning so my retention may be a little fuzzy but I am pretty sure I got it.

11. What are your expectations? What do you think you will gain from joining Natural Order, and why are you applying?

It would be bullshit if I said I had no expections so truly I just have one, people to have fun with. What is the point of playing an MMO alone? So I suppose that means I am applying as a desperate attempt to lure more people into my caffeine induced conversations about meatsticks and cheese. (I do really mean cheese.  I love gouda. Meatstick, on the other hand, is not beef jerky...)

12. What do you think you can bring to the guild? Why are we going to be happy you joined us?

Everyone is always thrilled when they see me... Mostly for my impeccable sense of timing of showing up with fluffy bunnies and unicorns spilling from my pockets just as Bambi's mom gets shot, but they are happy nonetheless. More seriously, I think I bring all of those "good gamer" things I chatted about earlier. I love having fun doing what it is we do, I love to laugh and I love trying new things.

13. Are you interested in "end game activities" with us in any of the games we play (such as 25 man raiding in WOW)? What days are you available for these sorts of activities (generally between 9pm and 12pm Eastern Standard Time)?

I like end game content and, while I don't know if I will be attempting that with this toon too much, my schedule changes so I am not sure at this time.

14. If you are interested in raiding with us in WoW, 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?

I am working on both of my sets at the moment and can keep my bitching confined to the inaudible kind.

Tell us about you...

15. Do you meet our age requirement?

I more than necessarily meet the requirement.

16. How old are you, if you don't mind us asking?

29. (Painfully, that took more than two attempts to type correctly.)

17. If we had a party in real life, what would you bring?

Coffee for the morning after...

18. Do you know what parachute pants are?

Ew. I do.

19. If the answer to 18 is yes, did you ever own any?

If I did, I have blocked it from my memory.

20. If the answer to 19 is yes, do you still own them?

Haha! I wish.

21. If the answer to 20 is yes, dear god why?

One must always be prepared for MC Hammer's comeback.

22. Pick one: Moist or Cornbread.

One.

23. Are you married?

No. Are you hitting on me?

24. If so does your spouse or partner play games, too? If they don't, how do they feel about you playing games?

My live-in boyfriend abandoned me for Star Wars sometime last month...

25. Do you have kids? What ages?

Nada.

26. What activities or hobbies do you have other than gaming?

I'm confused. "Other than gaming" ... ;)
