Historically, I've enjoyed Icy Veins and similar forums. However, my favorite way to figure something 'new' out is looking at posted logs of fights by higher performing mages to see where the differences lie and fill those gaps.​

Recount your previous guilds that you were a core raider in (up to the last 3) and your reasons for leaving?:

Core Raider, Pandemonium: TBC -- rank 189US. When I had time to be fully competitive.
Officer, Ominous: TBC -- I forget rank, was working more and it reflected in competitive progression.
GM, OneShot: Wrath -- Windrunner rank 12th (fairly competitive server).

I left Pandemonium to join a more casual guild to reflect my schedule as it developed. I left Ominous as the guild fell apart going into WotLK. I was recruited by OneShot when I happened to PuG with them and they saw I was guildless at the time. I quickly worked my way through the ranks, gaining trust and respect, to eventually become their GM. I left OneShot as I had been losing interest in WoW and its development path. Which finally culminated during Firelands. I've come back a few times as a tourist; hitting level cap and doing some LFR.​

Summarize your raiding experience.:

See above. However, it can be summarized by saying -- I have experience within highly competitive environments as well as more casual.​

What are you looking for from XoO, and from a guild in general?:

I'd like to make some new friends, have some laughs, make some memories and, hopefully, help XoO become server first!​

Do you know anyone in the guild that can vouch for you?:

I spoke with Kyoshe for a short bit before submitting this application. However, we don't know each other outside of that conversation.​

Any final comments, thoughts, concerns, or bad puns?:

How long until the world recognizes the greatest mathematicians contributions and name - Fritz Zwicky?​

 

Accepted with trial period beginning soon.
