    How old are you?
    39

    In-Game Name?
    Dunedain

    What is or will be your in-game name?
    Dunedain

    Do you have Teamspeak 3 and a mic?
    Yes

    What is your primary class? (Galactic Republic Only):
    I really haven't decided yet and probably won't until I get to see the game mechanics in action. At the moment, I am leaning towards Consular.

    Previous Gaming Experience:
    Do you have a few hours? I will simply list the games below and the positions I held within them. There is a lot more to what I have done online and in gaming, which would probably be best served in the interview process, should my application go that far. (tl;dr Unless you want to read about 15 pages worth, It'll go a lot faster if I can actually talk about it.)

    Multi-Player Battletech (MPBT) on AOL. House Leader of roughly 2,000 players.

    Star Wars Galaxies (Pre-CU) Guild Officer for House of Morrigan (HoM) on Radiant. Guild was roughly 200 or so strong. Helped create the Radiant Rebel Alliance (RRA) of 4-6 Guilds working together to beat down those damned dirty Imps. I would be open to the idea of helping to set something like that up in TOR.

    WoW Guild Officer for HoM. Mage class Officer. Guild size was around 150 actives with 50 or so semi-actives.

    EQ (alpha and beta tested this one) and EQ2
    Age of Conan
    Lord of the Rings
    DAoC
    Asheron's Call
    Ultima Online

    There are probably 10 others that I can't think of right now, and this list is long enough :)




    Why did you choose XoO:
    Vegeta has been gaming with you folks for quite a while and has had a blast here. I value his word, and if he says come on over for some fun, I am all for it. You're organized and want to see each in game Guild succeed that you start.

    Why do you think you'll be a good fit?
    I tend to put the group ahead of just myself. While out solo hunting, if I come across something I know others need into the guild bank (or what have you) it goes or I just offer it up.

    What will you contribute to the guild?*
    Experience in gaming for 20+ years (Damn I'm old). I know what works and what doesn't. I don't mind trying something new, but if it doesn't work, I have about 50 things to fall back on to get it done.
    I hate to lose and I hate to fail. If it takes sitting for 3 days to write a manual for newbies to help get them up to speed faster (which I have done) so that everyone can enjoy the game more, I'll do it. I can handle any situation thrown my way and if I can't find the answer, expect either a shit-ton of questions or a ton of 2 way communication so I can get the info needed to complete what I need (Provided of course that the information is NOT readily available out on the net and websites). I will bug the crap out of someone if I know they have the info I need, you've been warned :)
    Organization. I'd rather have 50 people all working towards the same goal, than 1 or two people working towards 25 different ones. I hate clusterfucks.

    Do you play on the North American block or European block?
    North American
    Do you have a referral?
    VegetaVarnay (expects his application to be denied just on mentioning that name)
    A little bit about yourself?*
    I am relatively easy going, but when there's work to do, I do it. I don't mind working on anything for hours on end as long as that work pays off; and if I have any say in the matter, it will. I usually come across as a cocky and arrogant SOB, but I'm really not. I am no better or no worse than anyone else on this planet. I love poking fun at people once I get to know them, just ask Vegeta <G> I tend to have a relatively short fuse when it comes to bullshit (i.e. Petty arguing and bickering, that sorta thing...it's pointless and keep it behind closed doors). At that point, it's sit down, shut up, and figure out the solution,with or without my help, now. Don't dawdle, fix the problem.

    Activity level?*
    If it's a game I like..every waking moment that I am not at work. Roughly 50+ hours a week.
    Do you have a high speed internet connection and a good computer?
    Cable modem 10 meg down/ 5 meg up
    PC: AMD Quad Core, Dual 5770's in crossfire, 8 gigs o ram, 2 1 TB HD's


    Are you able to play graphically intense video games?
    If my Quad core and dual 5770's can't handle the games that are coming out in today's market, then I quit.
    Have you applied to the SW:TOR usergroup?
    Yes
