Tell us about your gaming history...

3. What previous and current MMO's have you/do you play? Diablo, Dungeon Siege, Guild Wars

4. Describe what makes a good gamer, in your opinion: Has fun; enjoys the game solo as well with others, has a sense of humor, realizes death follows life and it cycles. Realizes people have different styles of playing their toons, offers help or suggestions.

5. On a scale of 1 to 10 tell us how good a gamer are you, and why? 7 I think i am better than average. I can think for myself and follow direction. I have no problems with constructive critisim, if given with good intention versus by way of rediculing.

6. Have you been in any other guilds, specifically in WoW and on Farstriders? How about in other games or on other servers? Which? Why did you, or why are you leaving them? I played on the Alliance side for 5 years. The first guild I belonged to was The Lost Souls. Since the first one, I have belonged to a couple of guilds, names i dont remember anymore. For a period of about 8 months I did not belong to a guild because I was tired of the drama that seemed to be in most of the guilds. After that period of time, I joined Voracious, which I can say was my favorite guild, stayed there almost 2 years. Later when the guild leader was mostly absent, the activity level dropped and I found myself being the only one on. After much consideration, and with a heavy heart, I left, joined Alter Egoes. I had been with Alter Egoes for about 8 months. Out of boredom I created a horde toon on Farstriders, found myself playing more on the Horde side than the Alliance. Moved all my toons from Alliance to Horde. I do have several other toons at various servers, created because a friend or two asked me to play on their server, but I always come back to farstrider because it's my virtual "home", my starting point. So I come home.

7. What do you like to do with your time in WoW? I have always like raids and dungeons. I recently found that i love battlegrounds as well. I like playing with groups of people. I like the team work involved in defeating a raid boss or winning a battleground. I do quest on my own, like to help my friends or guild mates.

Talk to us about Natural Order...

8. How did you hear about Natural Order? I saw several toons from Natural Order and several other guild's. I checked out the websites of each one to see how the guild was. I like the sense I get from your website, the feeling of comradeship.

9. Is there a current member of Natural Order who could reference you in a good or bad way? (Who?) I do not know anyone in this guild.

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

11. What are your expectations? What do you think you will gain from joining Natural Order, and why are you applying? I want to be a part of guild that does things together. I am a very loyal person, definitely someone who can be counted on. I would love to do raids, dungeons and bg's with the guild and I have no problems filling in for a bit if someone is late and stepping out when that person arrives. I am a team player, I believe to be a good team player means working together to achieve a goal, even if your part in that goal may be only a short fill in, here and there.

12. What do you think you can bring to the guild? Why are we going to be happy you joined us? I would love to say that my expertise playing a Hunter, Priest or Mage is so awesome you can't fathom how you functioned with out me there. LOL but I am realistic. It definitely wont be that. Most will sprout that they are helpful, honest, friendly, doesnt say a bad word to anyone, well, I am most of that. Unfortunately, I am too honest, most say I am blunt or when nicely said, diplomatic but direct. However, I always try to keep other people feelings in mind, I hate hurting anyone and definitley not on purpose.

13. If you are interested in 25 man raiding with us, what are your available nights and times for 25 man raids? I work Mondays thru Fridays 7:00am - 4:45pm Pacific time. Any other time, I can be there.

14. 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? Yes, I don't have a problem with that at all.

Tell us about you...

15. Do you meet our age requirement? Definitely

16. How old are you, if you don't mind us asking? 52

17. If we had a party in real life, what would you bring? Teriyaki Chicken Wings / drumettes

18. Do you know what parachute pants are? Nope

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

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

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

22. Pick one: Moist or Cornbread. Cornbread

23. Are you married? Divorced

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

25. Do you have kids? What ages? 27 & 29

26. What activities or hobbies do you have other than gaming? Reading, gardening, computers, walking

You need to review the rules

You need to review the rules bible in regards to #33, but great application. Get that fixed and there may be a bit of Q&A for a day, so check back occasionally.

Reviewing Rules

Mooner's picture

I put a lot of time and thought into it. Thank you

Hiya

Ikuri's picture

Really nice app. There's a couple of questions (#29, #33) that need to be re-done before we can accept your app, so please check those back out. :)

Have you been in any guilds Horde-side? Or would this be the first time joining one over here?

"8. How did you hear about Natural Order? I saw several toons from Natural Order and several other guild's. I checked out the websites of each one to see how the guild was. I like the sense I get from your website, the feeling of comradeship."

The camraderie and real friendships are one of the reasons I love this guild. Many of us are good friends outside of WoW. That pre-existing caamraderie might seem intimidating or "cliquish" to someone that is new to the guild. Do you see yourself as someone who has an easy time fitting in to an existing group?

Hiya

Aboout three weeks ago, I started two other toons, presently a level 62 hunter in a guild called The Farnsworth Paradox and a 64 Disc Priest in Warlords. Although they seem like nice guilds, I have not "clicked" with them. My main toons are special to me; they are the ones I want the same place to call home and I would like my 64 & 62 to follow as well. why didn't I mention them earlier, one might ask? Because they were my "testing the other side toon". while I have come to like them; my three favorites are Mooner, Caitie and Marriah.

I do have an easy time fitting in places; I am quite for while, "testing the waters" so to speak. Once I am comfortable, then there will be times you wish I was still "testing the waters". It may take me a bit to warm up, I am kinda shy, so if me being quite doesnt make you nervous, we will do fine.

Good day!

I like your App, except for the questions mentioned by Ikuri above (#29, #33).

I have a couple of questions for you:

You seem like a lovely person, and I have to admit I'm quiet the swearing little bugger (im brittish I cant help the shit that comes out sometimes O_O oops!). Would you be okay with adult inappropriate conversations involving subjects such as hectocotylus and mung? Would hate to shock you on your first day with an ear in one of those chats we have in guild from time to time of how Waka has a fury fettish, how Ikuri likes to pat the dog, or even your first raid where our bear blesses our attempts on bosses with his arse....you will understand soon enough....

If you Think you can take us, then I'll hand you a straight jacket and light you a spliff! We're all super friendly here and never ever want to hurt or offend anyone. Especially our new friends, we try to keep those....for later....*rubs hands together and licks lips*.....to play with >=)~

So I just wanted to make sure you would be cool with that.

Secondly,

nothing to do with wow....

Are you signed up for the Diablo beta and are you super excited about playing D3!!! Yeeee!!!!

Once you have answered those questions again on your app and of course our barrage of interesting and informative Q's, then we'll see you in gchat!!Have a merry day!

*gives tea and biscuit*

^_^!!!!


 

Good day to you!

I do not have a problem with "adult inappropriate conversations involving subjects such as....". Talk as freely as you want. There will be times I will most likely understand what you are saying and other times, it will sail over my head. Those conversations do not bother or offend me. Its the adult conversations that belittle or degrade a person with the intent to hurt I find offensive.

I do have a quirky sense of humor; I can't tell jokes because by the time I get to the punch line, I am laughing so hard no one understands me. However where there are times I can get there, not often mind you, Im still the one laughing so hard that I dont see if the other person has caught the punch line. I love jokes, clean and dirty. I see humor in things where most don't.

By the way, I love tea and bisuits. Thank you.

Excuse me

Ikuri's picture

"how Ikuri likes to pat the dog"

I do not pet the dog. Other people pet the dog when I tell them to. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE LIB, GAWD!

 

Re: Warlords, TFP, testing toons...

I can undertand that. TFP was a smallish guild that did quite well for themselves raid-wise in Wrath, but seem to have fallen off the map in Cata. I see them trolling Trade now and then. Warlords is a huge guild that zergs new players in the newbie zones with guild invites. We have a few of their former members that were kind of "meh" about them too.

Good day

Mooner's picture

I'm sorry, I forgot to address your other comment about Diablo 3; I have not investigated it yet; been wrapped up in WOW. But it is on my agenda to check it out soon.

Good day to you Libentina!

Spiffing!

Libentina's picture

Well! This has answered all my question satifactorily! I look forward to seeing you ingame!

Ikuri, I'm sorry for misleading people. You have the upper hand madam, petting the dog is not what it would be used for! My apology is complete and sincere. *Puts the kettle on and makes our new friend Moony a cuppa, and hands one to Cacc and Iky too*

Thank you for correcting those questions too :)

Good day to you dear moony ^_^

Fantastic Application

Ogg's picture

I like direct. Diplomatic I could do without. I'm a little late to the game comment-wise, but this seems like a good fit.

Also, kudos on handling our two of our crazy lovely femmes. They heal pets, I hear.

Once the 24 hour review period is up, and provided you haven't killed anyone's kitten or anything, it looks like you'll be a new member of Natural Order.

Should be all set, contact
