Title: Corai, community/F&F application
Post by: Corai on August 30, 2011, 08:56:27 pm
Hey guys!

Who are you?
First a little about myself. My name is Daniel Laurberg, I'm 28 years old and live in Slagelse(Denmark), where I study communications at university. I played WoW back when it had been out for about 3-4 months, got to lvl 60, but lost interest in the game soon after. I've played all kinds of different MMO's since; warhammer, aion and the last one I played was rift. I watched some videos of wow on youtube the other day, just for kicks, and it looked almost like an interly different game from how I remembered it, and thought hey why not try again. Got the free trial and MAN am I hooked now! :-D It really is a totally different game than what it was 4-5 years ago.

Why do you want to join Iron Edge?
The character I had back in those days was a tauren hunter called bigfoot, and it may seem odd, but seeing your guild name actually reminded me of some guys(whose name I have forgotten :-D) from your guild that I did some dungeons with back then, and as far as I remember they were quite nice. I looked at some websites from some of the other guilds on this server, and your guild is the only one that has written anything about a strong community, which is what I value the most when playing MMO's. Otherwise I could just be playing single player games :-) Currently I am in some guild called "Cataclysm Leveling Guild", which I was invited to about 10 seconds after I entered the game. Not much going on in the guild chat though, apart from achievement spam and a whole lot of GZ's.

Tell us about yourself as a gamer.
Without blowing my own horn, I'd say I'm quite an experienced player, especially when it comes to MMO's. I learn quite quickly, and I have this habbit of wanting to know just about everything there is to know about for example the class I play. Apart from that I just enjoy having some freinds online to play casually with, doing dungeons etc.

Tell us about your WoW character if you have one.
As I wrote earlier, I only started a few days ago, but I got so hooked on the game, and I've leveled somewhat faster than what I did back then, so I'm at lvl 51 with my orc shaman, which I have enjoyed very much so far! His name is Corai and he is very angry GRRR!

It would be nice to join a guild with a strong community and experienced players, since even though I'm quite independant when it comes to learning about games, it is always nice to have somebody to ask about all the new changes. I hope to get some positive replies on this application :-)

Peace out

Corai

For us to take your application seriously you need to show that you care. I see that you have 10 unenchanted items and even a socket without a gem. Your professions arent properly leveled and you are not wearing full mail gear for the armor bonus!!!!

On a more serious note nice app, I dont think we have ever invited a lowbie like you as a social member before without a friend or family member in the guild but gl.

We have, Grax, but it's rare -- and usually when they blow me away with an awesome application (like Fuzion's comic!)

Anyway, I like your application, and you sound fairly mature and level-headed for a Dane...

Let me think about it and get back to you in the next day or so. I'll see if anyone else has anything to say, too.

Losing your mind Doom?

Genuinly think so, wrote a 4 line post and then pressed send, took a sip of my coffee and i think i died or something.

Anyway - basically i said: We all know delling loves to pretend to hate the random dane apps, but we all know where tronz came from!
And i like this guy, he's put more effort in than a lot of our raider applies and when it comes down to community we invite the person, regardless of character, so good luck and thanks for applying!

Tronz was a random community app?

I thought he was a friend of someone.
Title: Re: Corai, community/F&F application
Post by: Skinkelinke on August 31, 2011, 01:44:03 pm
Haha! You actually think tronz got friends? ;)
Title: Re: Corai, community/F&F application
Post by: Corai on August 31, 2011, 03:03:20 pm
Woah! So many replies in such a short time. thanks for that :-)

Haha yeah I know all that unenchanted gear, and using two maces doesn't grant me the racial expertise bonus, just to add to the fail :-D

Anyways, time is experience! Gotta get back to more leveling!
Title: Re: Corai, community/F&F application
Post by: Doomslay on August 31, 2011, 04:53:40 pm
I think (hope) gaeos was joking about the gear ;).
And yeah, i think so delling. Either that or as skinke said tronz has no friends, only enemies.

Seems Tronz was one of those rare great FnF apps (http://www.iron-edge.co.uk/index.php?topic=2801.msg27647#msg27647) (it is pretty impressive!) that got in without having a RL sponsor.
Title: Re: Corai, community/F&F application
Post by: Doomslay on August 31, 2011, 05:18:07 pm
me, blackwhale and tronz were actually -laughing- at his app before and the miss-understanding about how sponsorship works. Such a cute application! Amazing how much his english has improved.
Title: Re: Corai, community/F&F application
Post by: delling on August 31, 2011, 05:58:16 pm
Well, how about that.

Tronz is probably the most (long term) successful F&F applicant we've had, too. Most of them turn out to be pretty weird, or go casual fairly quickly (frickin' Karga and Fuzion)

Poke an officer for an invite, Corai, and make sure you don't let me (or the guild) down :)

Hrm... why did you lie about losing interesting in WoW and playing a hunter, Corai? (If it is indeed you, Legintown.)

It's all a mad conspiracy to frame me. George Bush made all the previous applications to discredit my name, so that when the day comes and I expose his evil doings, nobody will believe me.

Anyways, yes it is me, the one and only jerk, dick, insert-your-favorite-adjective-with-a-negative-connotation dane, Legintown. I told daekesh yesterday that it was me, since well I didnt feel like keeping up the charade. Why did I sneak into the guild(again) you might ask? Well, the game has offered lots of things, but the best community was in IE, I don't think I've ever disputed that, and after my friend told me he had joined IE, memories started to surface.

If you feel that it was(yet another) dick move, I understand if you want to just kick me and be over with it. Back then there was quite alot of animosity towards me, but it seems to have loosened up and people dont seem to go into rampages when my name is mentioned.

Again, I apologize for the charade. I was fearful of just being plain out rejected from entering the guild if I told from the start that it was me again. I hope we dont have to into the "you said this and you did that" discussion. I'd prefer we bury the hatchet so to speak, and start over.

Apart from that, I was encouraged to make an app. the new so-called K-raid, and it will be coming up within an hour or so of writing this. I hope you can still use an old goat like me on your team!

What are your thoughts on the new "World Central Bank" the Vatican suggested yesterday?

Are we going off-topic already? :-D

Well, I haven't read about their suggestion, but if it's going to be a world fiat paper currency, I think you know what I think of it :-) You only have to look to the dollar or the euro to see what will be the inevitable distiny of all paper currencies.

From the short time I've known Corai any instance or raid I've done with him has been a pleasure. Denying him entry to rejoin feels like a real kick in the balls.

The fact that he has made two lying applications to get in to the guild after he left for Nihilum the first time, shows tenacity and really wanting to be in the guild :P

It also shows that you are somewhat a weirdo lying like that to be in a guild.

That is what it will cook down to in the end, indeed! I've probably watched half of youtube on the matter, forever grateful that you linked me Zeitgheist some years ago, 'ts why I mentioned it  8)

The lengths you've been to to rejoin IE are really quite spectacular.

I'm just hoping that you will pull off ANOTHER latex mask and actually turn out to be Tranquilrage.
