re: Welcome our newest Peacekeeper, Taic!

The application submitted by Frosthawk is as follows:

Quote:
Please look over this <a>thread</a> before starting your application.

Personal Questions

The following questions are aimed at helping us get to know you better as a person. Please be as detailed as possible, this means that we expect as much information as you can possibly provide us with.

How old are you?:
29

What gender are you?:
Male

What country do you live in?:
United States

What time zone are you in?:
GMT-7:00

Which of the following below would best describe your current occupation?:
University

Do you have the ability to pay online fees?:
No

What motivates you to contribute and to strive for achievement?:
Being a part of a guild motivates me to provide my experience, skill sets and time to best suit the guild's needs at the moment. I really like to get the most out of games, and in this case, being an active member of a team that has the same goals.

What are your strengths and weaknesses?:
My strengths are my gaming experience, my flexibility and loyalty and my maturity. My weaknesses are I am still an evening college student, and that takes priority as does my family, so some evenings I may be unavailable.

What interests and activities do you enjoy spending your time on?:
I am an electronics and computer technician by trade, so I am very interested in tinkering with electronics and getting new "toys" to play with. I am also a student pilot, but I don't take lessons anymore because it's too expensive!

Pax Republica Questions

These questions are aimed at helping us figure out if you're Pax Republica material, so be as detailed as possible.

How did you hear about Pax Republica?:
The SWTOR guild website

Do you have a tendency to cuss a lot? :
Depends on social enviornment.

How do you deal with stress and new players?:
Stress isn't a big deal and new players are easily taken under my wing if it's necessary.

What are your expectations of the members and leadership of Pax Republica?:
To provide a fun and social environment, access to other individuals that also want to contribute to helping other players.

What do you believe you can contribute to Pax Republica's community?:
A fun, joking, tactical, experienced PvE and PvP player.

What was it about Pax Republica that encouraged you to sign up with us, rather than with another guild?:
The number of members, time zone, PvP focused guild.

A non-guild member approaches you in game and begins talking smack to you. How do you react?::
It's best to ignore childish acts, and keep down on the drama. We are all adults, and that type of behavior isn't necessary or worth making worse.

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 would appeal to an officer about it, and if that didn't work I would mute them or excuse myself from vent until the situation is resolved. However I don't foresee a situation that could make me feel bad. I like to joke around and have fun, but I'm sure it would be taken care of before it reached a level that I would take offense to it.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Questions

What is your SWTOR forum name?:
Gajit is my username on the official forums.

Have you previously been in another SWTOR guild? If so please include the Guild's name and your experience there.:
N/A.

Have you ever been kicked from a guild for poor conduct, unruly behavior, or inactivity?:
No.

Which of the following interests you most?:
PVP

Which of the following interests you second most?:
Story

Which of the following interests you third most?:
Raiding

In relation to the guild.:
We work together

The following questions are to provide you with a quick insight regarding the trial requirements.

Which class do you intend to play?:
Jedi Consular

Do you acknowledge that activity is key to our community and that failure to contribute to the community(every week unless on leave of absence) could result in possible removal from the guild?:
Yes

Yes

Nothing at this time.

Looks like a solid application, Frosthawk. I am pleased to see another potential Jedi Consular joining the ranks.

Best of luck, my friend!

re: Welcome our newest Peacekeeper, Taic!

Thank you for the warm and quick welcome! I love the consular class, and I after looking into the lore behind the shadow advanced class I believe that is the path I would like to take. I did notice one typo in my application that I would like to clear up though.

Quote:

Do you have the ability to pay online fees?:
No


For some reason I read this as guild fees (like Goon Squad). Please disregard my answer as I can afford to pay my box price and monthly fee haha!

Edit: Also for gaming experience, I have played a wide variety of MMORPGs. More recently I have played Rift and DCUO. I was a tactical officer in an all dwarf guild, The Kingmakers on Phoenix Throne in Warhammer Online. I also played Planet Side, which is really an MMOFPS with some good RPG elements in it. I have played WoW for many years off and on performing healing and tanking but my first love is PvP. I had a Teras Kasi Master/Ranger in Pre-CU Star Wars Galaxies.

I am really a jack of all trades and I prefer to heal or tank since those roles are more helpful within a guild. As I said, I was looking to do shadow, but I have no problem going sage and pumping out some heals. As long as the Pax and the Republic win, it is all worth it.

re: Welcome our newest Peacekeeper, Taic!

Holy wow, my Guild Launch profile was way out of date! I went through and updated my information and my player name that I intend on using in TOR. Frosthawk was the name I used in an old friend guild in Warhammer and WoW. I intend on using Taic or Maic for my TOR characters.

After looking around the forums, I am really excited about this community. I really appreciate all the work that went into making your charter and enforcing standards that promote maturity and healthy social gaming. Pax's values of Integrity, Honor, Loyalty, Dedication, Humility, Self-Sufficiency, Honesty, Maturity, and Respect are very similar to the U.S. Army values of Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage that I strive to live by everyday, even though I am no longer in the military. Personally, my most prized value is integrity, for I believe that all other values stem from that. If you are honest and true and give every situation your all, it will show with leadership, confidence and the rest of the values will fall into place.

I am also excited to see your calendar has a TF2 and SC2 events! I have played a lot of TF2 and would love to hit it up with you guys and I have SC2 but am not very good at multi-player but would give it a shot and learn from you guys. I also have LoL that I have played after Totalbiscuit's WTF overview that intrigued me. My steam account is aviator4252 if anyone wants to add me.

After submitting my application, I also see that the recruitment for Consulars has been closed. If this is the case, I would consider playing another class as I really enjoy what this community has to offer, and if requested I would gladly reapply to that affect.

re: Welcome our newest Peacekeeper, Taic!

Hey! We're very sorry for the delay in getting to your application. Things have been a bit hectic as we hit the 100 member cap - determining who's in, who's out, who applied before we closed, etc...

The good news is that your application has been accepted! One of our lovely Trial Directors will be around soon to get you started on the path to becoming a full member of Pax Republica.

Welcome aboard!

Thank you very much. I appreciate the ability to trial. It's humbling when I saw so many applications beside mine when the cap was hit.

No problem! Anyway I messed up while typing in your trial date. Just wanted to clarify that phase 1 of your trial ends at 3/22/2011. My bad. >_>.

re: Welcome our newest Peacekeeper, Taic!

I have class tonight, so I won't be able to attend the TF2 game night, however I will do my best to make the game day later today! It was a blast last week to do it, and the consular meeting prior to that! (Not sure if the vent and gaming has to happen in phase 2 or not)
