Hello Andokun and welcome to the Pax Republica forums! I found your application to be concise but informative, and at first glance you appear to be a fine candidate. Best of luck to you!

Nice app. When something could be done better, I sometimes want to tell them what to do better and such, but you have to remember they might not be as experienced as you or understand what they are doing wrong or different, I prefer to tell them with constructive criticism.

If your app is excepted, you will be put on the wait list for now since the Jedi Knight class is full atm. If you have any new questions, feel free to ask

A decent application, sir! I have a couple of more questions to throw onto the heap if you don't mind.

If it isn't too personal, would you mind telling us what you do for a living? Just curious.

You mentioned that you tend to instruct people when they aren't doing something as efficiently as you would do, but I was just wondering if you yourself are opening to criticism if the situation ever arises?

Thank you for taking the time to apply and good luck!

I have just a couple of questions to start you off. 1. You have said that you think quick on your feet and that you bring a different, even odd perspective. Any stories you would like to share that illustrate these abilities? 2. As you may have noticed, all of our classes are full up at the moment. We've seen a bit of turnover so I wouldn't worry about it, but would you be okay with being on a waiting list for a while if it comes to that? That's it for now! Again, good luck, and may the Force be with you!

well like for example in wow in BC i was a healer on my druid. during a run that we did on illidan 30 seconds into the fight all the tanks died... before i tell you the rest let me tell you what i liked to do in normal dungeons. on my healer i was a bit of a wierdo. i had a macro to switch in all my tank gear and my healing druid. i would purposely die, rez and hit my macro and i'd have my tank gear on right before i entered combat again because so many times our tanks would just die for stupid reasons... like standing in fire =P i would rez, switch on my tank gear, fill up with hots, then go to bear and eat face. granted it didn't work every time but it did more often than not. so back to where i was. raid leader called for a wipe and i was like eff this niose, this was our 7th attempt tonight. i knew i couldnt tank illidan by myself... thats just dumb. i told the only war dps we had to tank him as long as he could while i died, hit rez, and hit my macro. luckily i was up before he died and grabbed aggro. now we had 3 rogues, the war and a palladin dps. every 5-10 minutes or so i would have to yell at the war or rogues or paladin to grab aggro, hit evasion, last stand, ect, while i healed myself and put hots on me and grab aggro back. luckily the dps and healers we had were amazing and we actually downed him! pretty much a great moment i my life lol! apparently i was crazy for even trying something dumb like that but it worked!!!

as for the second question, the answer is yes. you guys seem so awesome i could wait if i had too.

i work as a manager for an i.t. company. i often am in a constant state of WTF when dealing with my employees. they do some very dumb things and for example, dont see why even if windows installs a genereic driver for a device. and it works for the moment, why you have to actually go track down the actual driver so it'll work properly lol. but yes i actually encourage criticism from my employees and co-workers. i strive to do better and if i know what i dont do well or just plain suck at it it gives me the info i need to better myself.

p.s. my captcha code is denying bacon... who the crap denies bacon?

I'm almost ashamed to say this, but I don't think I would know to go track down the right driver or whatever lol. I'm not very tech-savvy.

And that is a very unfortunate captcha code lol

Hey there Andokun, thank you for applying to Pax

Your application is quite good, and informative though I have few questions

What interests and activities do you enjoy spending your time on?: i enjoy reading, watching anime, spending time with my fiance and working on computers. i also look forward to my son being born and spending time with him.

Have you previously been in another SWTOR guild? If so please include the Guild's name and your experience there.: Jedi Academy i have been a member there for a few months and very active in there forums. i had an interview with them adn they denied me because they believe i dont have enough PvP experience...

So wait... you were in their guild for few months and than all of a sudden they kicked you for not having much PvP experience?


Also I would like to ask for your gaming history, you don`t need to be very precise, just of top of your head, what titles did you enjoy?

i've read all the anne rice, anne mccaffery, and brandon sanderson books. theya re my favorite authors. my fanorite anime of all time is cowboy bebop and i watch way too many animes to list the rest =P i watch all kinds.

but yeah i was there for a few months getting to know poeple and whatnot then the day came for my vent interview. they said i was great and all but since the only MMOs i've really actually played were FFXI and WoW, nothing else kept my interest since its was all the same as what i was already playing, they said a: i didn't have much mmo experience (i played FFXI for 2 years and wow for 5) and b: since i never got above 1800 in arenas and play PvP mmos like aion and what not i didnt have enough pvp experience...

aaprently not being a mmo jumper is a bad thing...

Well don`t worry, we don`t care about how experienced you are in PvP or PvE If you are a good guy, than sooner or later you will get good at it with everyone help

i totally answered that lol i played FFXI for 2 years and wow for 5. if you ever played FFXI i was a thf/rng and rdm/whm. in wow i started out as a hunter in vanilla and when BC came out i switched to druid main as a healer. i healed all the way up till a few months before cataclysm and then i quit. i solo healed 20% of yogg in a 25-man <3 i've tanked in raids as well but only in pugs and never cleared a whole dungeon due to... well... pugs. i have tried other mmos like aion and warhammer as well and i simply didn't like them at all and stopped after a few weeks. they were simply ALL pvp and nothing else at all and felt felt a lot like GW (i dont consider GW an mmo =P)just with better graphics.
