What role do you wish to play in the guild? For example: PvP, PvE, Casual/Social
I normally play across all fronts, but mainly focusing on PvE!

Which previous MMO's or online games have you played and how long for?
I've played GW1 for a couple of years when it first released, I've played SWTOR actually didnt play it that long, hit max level then the spark kind of fizzled out. It took me forever due to watching every cut scene (which annoyed others) but I just didnt enjoy it as much as other games., WoW since Cata! i personally cannot wait for guildwars 2 and have been waiting for it since arena net mentioned that they were going to start working on it!

Were you a part of a guild? What was your experience?
I was a raid leader in WoW in a guild made up of close friends. We then recruited a lot of members and we actually made a lot of new friends through it which was great! I prefer being in a guild as i get bored playing alone, as far as im concerned all games are going to be more fun eith a friend right?
I played the beta weekends on my own and it would have been nice to have had a group to go with!

How did you hear about the Guild?
I watched the podcast on YouTube and thought you guys were a really good laugh and definitley be a bunch of people id love to journey with on the game! Really enjoyed watching them and looking forward to seeing more. Kept me thoroughly entertained while at work!

What will you bring to the ALTTABME community? (Chatty? Skilled? Funny? Helping?)
Im a really chatty guy with a good sense of humour. Infact in WoW I was told alot to be quiet during raids because I'd be the guy laughing and having fun rather than being super serious. Though I still did what i was supposed too!
I am fairly skilled, I sometimes need a bit of guidance like on WoW but I started later on and people had a lot of advice to give!
I'm a pretty fun guy and will happily sit on skype/ts/mumble ect just chatting anyway to people! With regards yohelping i am happy to help any members, especially if i have the knowledge tp help with them that which they do not know OR if its just help punching a boss in the face then that is also not a problem!

Will Arcanix be the only guild you join?
I have no idea as of yet, the fact that guild wars 2 is going to be so varied there's decisions i dont really want to make before release! (which i cannot wait for!) Obviously if I am accepted, the guild will definitly be my main and main focus but I may join a relatives guild on the side for social purposes!

Is there anything else you would like to throw in here at the end?
Just thanks for reading! I appreciate that due to the podcasts you've probably had a billion requests! I also apologise for spelling as I'm writing this application on my phone at work as I didn't want to wait until i got home tonight!

Thanks for reading guys! (Edited as it was written in a rush, sorry for that!)

So many exclamation marks! It feels like you were really excited while typing this! I'm trying this exclamation thing a shot to see what my typing is like! I feel so excited and energized as you can clearly tell with my exclamation marks!

You seem like a pretty decent fellow. You had mentioned that you were a raid leader in your WoW gaming. Can you go a little deeper on that? Like in what expansions, content, and number of people, frequency, and final progression point? I'm just intrigued as to how you interact with people while being in an authoritative figure and how you react to success and failure.

Yeah sure,
I raided Cataclysm with my guild from the start.

Basically, I joined when the guild (Leader was my Cousin) was started to raid the Cata content: They'd all played through Wrath and some even Burning Crusade I believe.
To cut a long story shot I ended up taking the raid leader position (Through a guild vote not due to the fact that the leader was my relative) because they generally thought I was a good leader and a good laugh.

We raided BWD, BOT, TOTFW, FL, and DS. We downed pretty much all content apart from Madness (All Normal, people weren't overly fussed in doing HC, the general consensus was "Why bother doing the same fight, but harder? Everyone's just going to get pissed off!" So, I was fine with that.

We normally raided twice a week, tuesdays and thursdays, this was mainly because it was the only time my cousin wasn't seeing his Mrs! We switched guilds at one point as well as my mate had a spare level 25 guild that had a better name than the one ours was called so we 'Hijacked' it so to speak and carried on from there. A few members from our guild will be coming onto Guild Wars 2 as well! So, I cannot wait for the release!

With regards to how I kept things organised ect. I had some simple rules, we raided for fun. We LIKED to down the bosses and managed to get all the raids (Bar DS as we disbanded and quit WoW) done as a guild and had a lot of fun doing so. I rarely raised my voice and we had a lot of fun.

I re joined WoW not so long ago and joined a raiding guild and was shocked as to how they raided. We had to be silent during the boss fights and listen to people shouting out tactics. I mean, this may just be me but.. we managed to down all the bosses while literally laughing through the fights telling each other jokes and occasionally shouting out for Dave to move out of the fire. (We had a Dave. Dave: The guy who stands in anything shiny.)

I didn't really tell people off for failing, more give them constructive criticism. I find that people play worse if you're there just shouting "OH MY GAWD YOU'RE DOING SHIT, DO IT RIGHT BLAH BLAH BLAH MORE NONE HELPFUL CRAP"
It's better to throw some Bop It! quotes at them like, "Do It The Same! But Betterrr!"

The reason for all the exclamation marks is more than likely because I WAS excited, I am excitable. I can't help it, when it comes to Guild Wars 2 I'm like a puppy with a new owner.

Thanks for reading!
