Welcome our newest Peacekeeper, Tobiscas!

The application submitted by InsaneSp00n is as follows:

[ircannibals]

What are your strengths and weaknesses?:
I like to think that my biggest strength is my ability to work as a group. I'll step up and lead if I have to, but I can do just as well just tankin' it up. My biggest weakness would have to be burning myself out on doing one thing for too long. I tend to focus too much on leveling in certain MMOs, and I'm looking to break up that trend with SWTOR.

are you going to Raid with us ? If you do going Raiding with us are you going to burn out and quit ?

Hello, InsaneSp00n. You’ve filled out this application quite well. I just have one concern:

[Omega Reaven]

I can personally vouch for his char is what im saying as well as his gaming abilities.

I'll definitely try and raid with you guys on the weekends, but I won't be able to on weekdays due to scheduling conflicts (Parents separated, long story.) With all the content in this game, I don't see myself burning out, even if I do marathon gaming sessions. There's just a lot more to do other then leveling. I hope that answers your questions!

Hello, InsaneSp00n. You’ve filled out this application quite well. I just have one concern: Quote: You're in Ventrilo playing with other members but one member is being annoying, making silly noises and being obnoxious...what do you do? : I'd ask him to calm down a little, and if he continues, just put him on mute and hope an officer can come and do something about it. There isn't really anything else I can do. Putting someone on mute and sitting around hoping an officer will address the issue is not the way to go about this. It would be best to send an officer a pm if the individual is still continuing to be a problem, after you’ve asked them to stop. This will allow us to resolve the matter swiftly before it becomes an even greater problem. Other than that, everything seems to be fine with me. I’m sure other members will be responding shortly. Good luck!

Thank you, and yes, you are right about that. I'm just used to officers not caring about things like that. Sub conscious thing I guess.

To be honest, I am a bit concerned about the statement being a 1-up'er as the reason why you are driven to succeed... from my experience, 1-up'ers are the most difficult type of people to get along with at times. However since Omega is vouching for you, I'm not as worried as I normally would be.

I'll try and clarify myself on that to make you even less worried. I'm not an extreme 1-uper (Totally walk over everyone to get to what I want.) I just want to play the game for fun. It's really hard for me to explain honestly. I just like to 1-up myself I guess. Sorry if I'm being ultra contradictory, I'm just not too good at explaining this!

Hello there InsaneSp00n Thank you very much for taking time to apply to us. Friends of our friends are our friends ;)

Overall, your application is quite good, I will just mention few things:

What motivates you to contribute and to strive for achievement?: Well, I've always been the person who wants to 1-up the person at the top of the "leaderboards" in any game. I try to be the best at what I do, so that I have the ability to help anyone else who needs it. I like to be a part of that group everyone wants to join. I also like to joke about my own skill, so that actually makes me want to succeed.

I can understand this stance. Even though you can be a team player, you strive to be the best, which may be called 1-uper. I think that this is nothing bad, good actually, since you try to be best at all times I don`t see this as a problem, as long as you won`t forget teamwork for the purpose of being no.1 on leaderboard

I haven't posted on the SWTOR forums much, I've been on MMORPG.com discussing the game mostly.


Ahhh, my gaming history. Well, I started playing video games around 5, when the PS1 had came out. Until the PS2 came out, this is probably the only thing I did outside of school. When the PS2 released, I reached gaming nirvana. Kingdom Hearts, Ico, Star Wars Battlefront, I was in love with that system. By this time, I had every game system that was currently out, Xbox, Gamecube, and the Playstation. Fast forward to today, I'm a huge MMO enthusiast, I play Red Dead on my Xbox (apparently I'm great :P) and I've been trying to get into Team Fortress 2 again.

A little side story about my name:
I came up with the name Insanespoon when I was playing the original Halo for computer. Apparently it has become a popular name, and I've seen many people have it. I'm pretty sure that I'm the original "inventor" of the name, and I'm proud it's good enough for imitation. :D
