I do not as of yet, but I have been spending a significant amount of time in the communities chat, and I have been having a ball forming what I hope will be friendships.

What role do you wish to play in the guild? For example: PvP, PvE, Casual/Social
I'm what you might call a jack-of-all-trades type of girl. What I mean by that is, I'm a bit of an achievement whore, if its there to do, I want to do it. I'm extremely social in my tasks though, because I think at the very core and MMO is meant to be played and shared with others. Whether it be rolling with guildies in sPvP or WvW, or just running around the world in a group farming material nodes and killing monsters for their 'epic' crafting drops! I'm quick to drop what I am doing to help others in need, be it going to a starting zone and showing someone where that pesky elusive last point of interest is, or rolling up one a Meta Event in an area I've never been. Really, I just want to immerse myself in the game and the guild's members as a whole.
Which previous MMO's or online games have you played and how long for?
Previously I have dabbled in many online MMOs and games. The ones that I have spent significant times in were:
GaiaOnline : *I was an RP'r and avid charity moderator* 2003-2010
NeoPets : 2003-2010, Yes I played NeoPets for like 8 years.
Perfect World International : 2008-2012
Forsaken World : Release-2012
Vindictus : On and off for a year or so
Guild Wars 1 : On and Off for the last few months
Were you a part of a guild? What was your experience?
The only guilds with any note that I will talk about are the PWI and Forsaken World ones. In Perfect World International I have been part o three wonderful guilds on my server, the first of which was called Enrage, high leveled Guild v Guild type, we owned most of the territories on the map for my duration. While I was with them I went form just a recruit to one of their go-to officers for Party Organization and Member Services (ie: boss raids, gear raids, cultivation and skill-based things). When I had a falling out with the new leader in 2009, I went to their rival guild Tao, and ended up again in an officer role handling guild events and chat moderation. When Tao fell apart in early 2010, I moved to a guild called Radiance. I have been there ever since and have made many friends. I am not an officer there, but I still get involved in any way I can in terms of helping the little "family" we have come together, even through the hard times we have had lately concerning the coming of GW2 (that guild leader has banned us from even talking about GW2 even though a bunch of us wanted to move a branch of the guild to it, that is no longer happening so I am moving on).
In Forsaken World I have only been in two guilds. The first of which is a branch of the gaming community Onovia. I led the guild for a short stint in 2011, but when I moved RL the end of last year I gave the guild up and ended up being pushed out by the new leadership. I moved to the guild Imperium in Jan 2012, and I have been there ever since, even though I no longer play FW, I was given 'veteran' member status and as a result I will always be an honorary member to which I am very grateful as I have forged several good relationships that have carried on beyond the game.
How did you hear about the Guild?
I actually found you guys on Youtube by accident when I was searching for Guild Wars Podcasts. Upon stumbling onto the channel I watched a few of the podcasts and then I saw the Machinima. I am a huge fan of such things and so I decided to check out your site. I'm glad that I did!
What will you bring to the ALTTABME community? (Chatty? Skilled? Funny? Helping?)
As you can probably already tell I am quite a bubbly and chatty person. I love to be around others, and talking to them about any number of things. Also, as I mentioned before one of the things I love most about MMOs is my ability to be able to be with others no matter what they are doing. I think I have a pretty good sense of humor. Really, all I want is a place where I can have FUN! Emphasis on the FUN part, no matter what that entails. Games aren't meant to be taken seriously and the minute it takes a dive too far over that line of casual to extreme harcorism is when something becomes a job. I have a job, I don't want this experience to be like that. I pretty much never take anything seriously but that doesn't mean I just goof off and never get anything done. I do, I just do it in a manner that is light-hearted! I'll be the first one to lol when a party wipes, as I'm fleeing for my life!
Will Arcanix be the only guild you join?
For gaming and interaction purposes indeed. If my PWI guild gets their head outta their butts, I might have some alt Rep them, but its not looking lightly in the aftermath of recent events.
Is there anything else you would like to throw in here at the end?
Well, at the risk of making this any more long-winded then it has already become I would just like to add that the RL me is kind of a stressed person! I come to games to release that, and as such I tend to be rather silly most of the time. I really just want to laugh and to make other people laugh. RL, I am the full-time caretaker for my 9 year old brother who has ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), and I am going for my bachelors in Child Psychology. My Boyfriend and I met one PWI, and this month marks our 6 month Anniversary, however currently we live 900+ miles apart so we spend most of our time gaming with one another! I think that about sums me up!
On a last note, I am aware that the guild is currently full, and that is fine with me! I am applying because I feel the effort is worth it to have the potential to contribute to such an awesome community. I have spent the better part of the last three days chatting on the site an I am already forming bonds with many of the people here. I truly feel that this is the warm fuzzy feeling I had when I joined my first guild in PWI. Even if I am not accepted at this time, it won't deter me from participating as long as you guys allow me to do so, and come launch I hope that I get to spend many endless hours of fun playing with you all! =)
