@ObiBen: If I fail, then I learn my lesson, get right back up, and don't make the same mistake twice.

Thanks for the comments everyone, I'm really hoping to get in!

Thank you Lee for all the help last night on Ventrilo. Certainly made things easier with you explaining everything.

Huzzah! ;)

I just have a query - your app was great - you seem very enthusiastic :D But with regards to your sporting - obviously real life comes before gaming but do you play/practice to the extent that you would be more inactive than active in the general scheme of things?

Other than that - you have my vote mate Hope it all goes well :D

I appreciate the concern. Actually, in all honesty, by the time this game is launched, I won't be playing sports regularly. This spring season is my last season of sports ever as I'm running track.

I will continue to play intermural sports in college, but as far as interfering with the guild, no it will not in any way.

Welcome! Nice to meet another athlete. What positions do you play in the sports you mentioned? I was a Free-Safety, wide-receiver, and Kick/Punt returner in High School football.

Seems we are similar athletes then! I was FS and WR as well, though more of a Flanker on offense (would motion and such). I did get in on a few Punt returns, but our main punt returner was eventually the league player of the year.

In basketball, I was a combo wing/guard position, and in track I run sprints (200, 400) and occasionally some middle distance (800).

Was football the only sport you played?

Football and Track were the only sports I lettered in, and I only ran track to get faster and stronger for football. I didn't even bother to go to away meets, because I just didn't really care, instead I spent the time doing homework or what not.

However, I played and still play A LOT of roller and floor hockey, mainly playing as goalie. I love hockey!

Nice... I had the same mentality for track (unfortunately, I did NOT get the same luxury as you!) up until this season, when it hit me that this is my last shot to make it to State in a sport. So I am getting better daily in a hopeful run at the state meet.

Never had the opportunity to play floor hockey, although I've always wanted to. Maybe that will change with college coming up
