Guild Introduction - Spindles

1. Your Main
Name:Spindles
Class: Warlock
Level: 85
Primary Spec: Affliction
Off-spec: Destruction
2. What alts, if any, do you have that you also wish to join the guild? (same format as above)
N/A
Tell us about your gaming history...
3. What previous and current MMO's have you/do you play?
I have been playing WoW since near the beginning and not much has survived the battle of the MMOs. I was going to look into Knights of the Old Republic and join a few friends that claim they will try it out and see.
4. Describe what makes a good gamer, in your opinion:
Learning and having fun. Its a game after all.
5. On a scale of 1 to 10 tell us how good a gamer are you, and why?
I'd say 8. I pick up strategies quickly, but I have not focused solely on one particular class in my WoW time. Makes researching everything a bit hard.
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?
Currently in Heaven and Earth. I am still raiding with them as their tank. I recently leveled a horde character and would like a home to help out or just socialize during my newfound interest on the red team.
7. What do you like to do with your time in WoW?
Instances and raids. I've always been attracted to the PvE side of WoW. I have 8 level 85s to experience every aspect.
Talk to us about Natural Order...
8. How did you hear about Natural Order?
I've seen a decent amount of your members running around and while perusing through guild descriptions and forum posts, the mature atmosphere that you put out piqued my interest.
9. Is there a current member of Natural Order who could reference you in a good or bad way? (Who?)
No
10. Have you read all of the posts in the About Natural Order section of the forum? (this is very important to us)
Yes
11. What are your expectations? What do you think you will gain from joining Natural Order, and why are you applying?
I just want a friendly atmosphere without bickering or drama. Stress free with a socially diverse conversational interest.
12. What do you think you can bring to the guild? Why are we going to be happy you joined us?
I have a very broad base of knowledge of the game. I currently tank 2/7 Heroic. Other than that, I like being active when I am playing and will help out if I can.
13. If you are interested in 25 man raiding with us, what are your available nights and times for 25 man raids?
Spindles has a bit of a way to go for raiding, T11 content is doable in her current gear. But Friday through Monday evenings are when I am free to raid or be on.
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?
I am very flexible. I also have a few other 85s I can transfer if the raid is desparate for that class.
Tell us about you...
15. Do you meet our age requirement?
Yes
16. How old are you, if you don't mind us asking?
25
17. If we had a party in real life, what would you bring?
Field Parties are the way to go, don't need anything but a fire for that.
18. Do you know what parachute pants are?
Its hammer time.
19. If the answer to 18 is yes, did you ever own any?
No
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 with jalapenos!
23. Are you married?
No
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?
26. What activities or hobbies do you have other than gaming?
Camping, playing with expensive equipment and taking fancy vacations.

42 is the answer to everything? But e , is the answer.
Edited for trickery! And no I didn't change my answer to #34 because I really can't do math in my head. Thats why I have electronics and a pen and paper! And rereading the question it says "without using a calculator"... its been a long week.



I'm going to have to ask you
I'm going to have to ask you to read the Natural Order rules bible once more and fix your application appropriately. Other than that, application looks fine :)
Everything looks good! There
Everything looks good! There is a 24 hour wait time for officers and other members to look over your application before approval. Once that is clear, youre set.
Another Lock O_O!
Also : Field Parties are the way to go, don't need anything but a fire for that. -im pretty sure it helps to be naked and inebriated!
Looking good though will be handy to have another warlock around! Have you tried raiding in demo, i have heard that the current raiding enviroment is great for demo locks. Also, we will be setting up weekend raids soon, but current raiding days are tues wed and thurs, with other nights for oldskool and other events people wish to do. Will this be okay with you if your days are friday through monday?
look forward to hearing more!
Demo raiding
I was just going to make a new thread on that issue. I think I will now...
Speccing
Tues, Wed, and Thurs are pretty much a nogo. Weekends are usually empty.
That being said, I only really started playing my lock last weekend. Her current gear is what I've grinded out so far in the past 7 days. I still have a lot of grinding to do through professions, rep and instances before I "should" be in raid. Current performance was a little over 14k in a 25 man BoT pug that I found this past Sunday.
As for other specs, Affliction was the most complicated and involved. That is what attracted me to it. I will be looking into other specs shortly after I am able to get some of the grinding out of the way.
The party did end up naked and inebriated, I think I was the only one who was derobed though. Apparently if you try to keep up the drinking with a tiny female that you are infatuated with, she will be the last one standing. It is a bit embarrassing...
This is a great application
However, Artanna lied when he said everything looked good. Recheck the Rules Bible, and reconsider your answer to #36.
I didn't even notice you guys
I didn't even notice you guys had added a new question! :O My application ended at 35. *sniping a bit here. Spoilers! -Kibito*
Diligence
Y'all are very diligent in your application process. Impressive
I'm also logging off in my PvE set so that my previous reply makes a little more sense.
Just because I'm curious
You mentioned that your main is a tank--what class? This is just me wondering, there is no right or wrong answer.
What have you enjoyed most about leveling a Horde character?
Other characters
My tank is a warrior name is Maleldil on this server. I have 8 level 85s in total (yes my social life is lacking) and a few of them have been most of the way through Firelands. I had my own alt run, but people are starting to abuse my patience with bringing characters that should not be in there. I have discontinued it for my own sanity.
As for leveling horde, it was like starting over from scratch. Instead of giving myself the top gear because I could buy it, I am working for every piece and upgrade. The storylines are very different as well. I dislike questing, but still care about the lore behind the game. Its all about trying new aspects and then becoming proficient enough to be of use and switch roles for the needs of the group.
Yeah the starting from scratch bit sucks
I have..hmm like 6 level 85, a couple halfway through 84, and one at 78. One of every class, in some cases two.
I have played some Alliance side, but I missed my army of alts :) It also made me think about where I was going--I was so used to travel Horde side that I had to remember what I was doing before I flew off. I also got lost in Stormwind. A lot. I prefer Ironforge--it reminds me of a cosy dark pub.
Good for you on preserving your sanity--alt runs can be a blast, but only if people have the patience/time/etc to get decent gear. We did more of that in Wrath; at one point we had a weekly ICC alt run which was a lot of fun.
Approved
Sorry if we were a little late on this, but all looks good! Contact someone ingame for an invite and welome aboard! :)
