For those not in Skype, Naëlle is me! *waves hai

Nice app Rocks. You sure listed a lot of weaknesses, but I think it's a strength to be able to identify what you need to work on and at least with you, what we see is what we get.

I'd like to point out that when I played Aion, I learned a ton about PvP from this guy and even though he says he can be rough around the edges and a little impatient, his help, support and encouragement made me a much better player. He helped me get my thug on and have a ton of fun kicking butt!

I think Rainbowdash can best summerize Rocks...

[Lord Marvel]

Hello there Rocks :)Welcome to our forum I hope that you will enjoy your stay with us

I must say that your application is really impressive and that I liked it very much
Now time for questions and answers :D

What are your strengths and weaknesses?: My biggest weaknesses are getting irritated when other people aren't punctual. Being on time has always been very important in the different jobs that I've had and I carry it over to my personal life. I find it very disrespectful to be late on a regular basis, but I know sometimes in the past I have not been as understanding of other peoples scheduels and the things that can come up to make a person late. Another weakness would be not always understanding that other people don't learn things the same way that I do or at the same speed, sometimes I can get a little frustrated trying to teach someone something new or show them a different way of doing something, I can always calm down and work to show or explain it in a different way but I don't think I should get frustrated so quickly. Another weakness I have is sometimes being a little rough around the edges as my friends tell me, in a stressful situation or one that demands quick action I sometimes fall back into coach mode and start barking out orders before I think about how that makes everyone around me feel, Im always quick to apologize but I could do a better job of controlling my mouth.

Hehe, some of my own weaknesses :D and finally someone who write his weaknesses, and not his strengths in bad light to make them look like weaknesses :D BIG +

And lastly, are there any questions about the guild you would like answered?: I understand that there is a policy of not swearing in the guild and I am wondering how strictly it is enforced and what kind of punishment or disciplinary action is taken when a member breaks it. As I said in my earlier awnser I try and be courteous of others and not swear around them but I can see possibly letting slip an "F" bomb on vent without intending to.

We don`t mind occasional swearing, happens to almost everyone problem starts, when you use swears every second word and you don`t listen when someone is telling you to stop Also we don`t look kindly on swears directed at other members


Could you please give us a short overview of your gaming experience? I mean just out of top of your head games that you played over the years and enjoyed them Not necessarily MMO`s.


Why did you picked Jedi Knight as your desired class, and Sentinel as your AC?

Last question: Pirates or Ninja, and why?


Also, I feel, that I should have you banned for even mentioning MLP in your application :P but since you are friend with Bubbles this is no wonder... sigh... yet another pony lover to fight with ;) :D

[Luke Filewalker]

A very nice application indeed!

I, too, am very pleased with the effort you put into your application and the fact that you are easily able to identify your weaknesses. As Bubbles said, it's quite the strength.

The occasional swear word is fine, it's once the swearing gets out of hand that it becomes a real problem. As Marvel said as long as it's not every second word and is in good taste then it should be fine

Because having two light sabers to slash stuff is better than having one, right? :P


Anywho I wish you good luck with your application process and look forward to seeing you on vent

[timaselj]

Hmm I liked this app a whole lot. The only minus is the MLP... But yeah, I say put you on trial ASAP

[Gryffon Etheras]

Hi, and thanks for applying to Pax Republica! *High Hoof*

I'm Travis, as the various names around this box indicate. Great application - We really appreciate you putting in the time and effort to tell us about yourself. Based on the information in your App (and Bubbles singing your praises from the highest mountains), I don't think swearing will be an issue - we're all somewhat prone to an occasional outburst. We just keep it mature and never direct it at others, and no problems - we strive to walk the line between an adult and mature voice channel (in which wordy dirds DO happen) and a channel that a younger members mother would not be ashamed to hear when walking by a room.

I expect we'll get this trial rolling shortly after we talk to you a bit more. Look forward to getting to know you!

[IgotRocks]

Really enjoying the warm reception from the replies I've recieved so far, to the fellow pony lovers *high hoof* and to the pony haters, come on guys it's not the dark side, let the ponies corrupt you!

Hmmm that's a question I could spend all day awnsering, But I will try and be a little more brief and stick to the highlights. I can't really remember the first time I played a videogame but I can remember being 4 or 5 and my parents giving my brother and I for christmas an Atari 2600 and a couple of games, I loved it right away even though the controller was really big and the button hurt my thumb after awhile, it was cool. I still have that Atari tucked away somewhere with about 2 shoe boxes full of games. After the Atari it was on to the Nintendo NES and this is where i really got hooked on rpg's. I loved games like Contra and Castelvania but games like Zelda and Dragon Warrior could make me lose all track of time for a few hours and I loved the mix of action and problem solving. Aftre that it was more consoles until my parents bought the first computer we had in the house right around the time Wolfenstein came out, that game and Doom soon after it blew my mind i was all about them for awhile but another game that I played at the same time, and long after I got bored with Doom and Wolfenstein was a game Called Dragon Wars, it was cheap, the sound was terrible, the whole game fit on a 3.5" disk, but it was so much fun and took me over a year to beat. The next big game for me that I can remember after that was the first Diablo, loved being able to go dungeon crawl and get loot and be able to do it with friends over the internet. Was a real active gamer until I graduated from high school, for several years after that my work and personal life was real busy and didn't have time to game much, picked it up again a few years ago, played Halo on xbox live at a friends house and got hooked, next thing I knew i had my own xbox and was calling to have my internet speed improved because it wasn't fast enough and dying to lag was driving me crazy. The tech from the phone company that came to setup my new DSL told me about a game I should check out called Rappelz, I wish I would have written his name down because I owe that guy a big thank you, when the xbox got boring I checked out Rappelz, my first MMO and fell in love with gaming again, I made a ton of friends in the game, quite a few of which lived near me, apparently we all thought the server name Salamander was cool, we formed a guild and would get together for BBQ's and LAN parties when we had the time for it. I realized when i started proof reading my comment that you asked for a brief summary, lol, as you can see I really can talk about this all day, sorry if its to long.

I made these choices with a few differen't things in mind, the last MMO I played, Aion, the main character that I played was a Ranger, I loved the stealthy nature of the class and hunting people in pvp was awesome, but I found the class to be squishy most of the time and that was frustrating, about the last six months that I played the game I switched to a Gladiator and felt that role fit me like a glove. I see the Jedi Sentinel as being very similar to the gladiator, so I hope I have that same feeling. I also know my friend bubbles and I will be kicking alot of PVP butt together and I think this class will work well with her's.

Lord Marvel wrote:

Last question: Pirates or Ninja, and why?

This is the toughest question yet, I mean we all know both pirates and ninjas are awesome, hmmmmm, if I had to pick I would say NinjaPirate

Yeah ponies are not the dark side, they are worse :P

Anyway, thanks for answering my questions though for your information, pirate ninjas can`t exist, since they would destroy the world with overload of awesomeness :D

[Nwahs]

Welcome to the forums!!!!!!

I'm Nwahs Nirom, the Jedi Knight Class Leader I have to say I loved your application. I think you are the first person we've ever had who wrote a longer paragraph on weaknesses than strengths. That shows amazing maturity in my opinion.

Two questions:

1. You're big into racing. Who is your favorite racer?
2. What did you think of "Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby", especially Jean Girard, the French Formula One guy played by Sacha Baron Cohen?

[nolongeramember]

Welcome, fellow brony!



Great app with a lot of effort put into it. I have no questions that haven't already been answered. I say this should be accepted

[IgotRocks]

Thanks for another warm hello, Bubbles said your a Brony so *high hoof*

My favorite driver is Fernando Alonso, when I started watching F1 he was the youngest driver, just a little older than I am and was racing for an underdog team, I've followed him to 4 different teams and 2 world championships. My brother and I normaly place a bet at the start of the season on who's driver is gonna win the world championship, sadly the last couple of years we haven't had to pay each other because neither of our drivers has won lol.

I love that movie, I still randomly quote things from it and I love it when other people know what im talking about. Sacha Baron Cohen's character was hilarious, I imagine that hardcore diehard NASCAR fans think that's what a Formula1 driver is like, but I remember the year it came out before one of the races they asked all the drivers if they had seen the movie and what they thought of it and the ones that had all thought it was funny, even the french drivers,

[Nwahs]

Nice... ya Talledega Nights is phenomenal. Last question from me: What do you think of our strict activity requirements?

[IgotRocks]

Nwahs Nirom wrote:

The requirements don't sound unreasonable to me, Im a pretty social person and in the past it's not be uncommon for me to be hanging out in vent even when Im doing other tasks at the computer. Posting will probably be the harder of the two for me. I probably wont start alot of threads but I enjoy reading others and making a comment or two here and there when I feel like I have something worth saying.

Just kidding There's plenty of threads you'll find worth posting into. There's posts about working out, cooking, songs, funny videos, beta, roleplay, there's even a pony thread... and that's leaving the class forums out. So I think you'll be fine. I don't start a whole lot of new threads either; there's already a ton of cool threads to contribute to.
