Why do you want to join Misery and why do you think Misery is the guild for you?
My primary motivation in applying is that it is Bips' guild. I played a lot with Bips and Wissan in Ronin, and I really liked the way they played. I was looking around for a new guild and bumped into Bips again, and joining a guild she had founded seemed like a really good idea.
I particularly like what I hear of Misery's raid style - that is, casually serious. I'm looking to get into the newest content in Cataclysm, but not at the expense of 5 nights of raiding a week.
Are you applying to any other guild then Misery at this point of time?
No.
Can you play from 20.00 to +-2400 and minimal 3 raid per week?
If this is GMT, then yes.
Your internet connection? (lags/DCs?)
Very good.
Do you know/have Ventrilo?
I know and have it.
Do you have microphone?
Yes. A freakishly expensive one!
Average FPS during 10/25 man raids?
60 (max FPS for a laptop screen)
Are you planning to take a break from WoW anytime soon?
No, came back for Cataclysm.
Do you know anyone in Misery ? If so, who?
Bips and Wissan.
Have you read the Conduct Post before applying?
I have.
If you read the conduct post before applying. What is the magic word? (The word will be changed from time to time) Steve
Ever got any bad conduct post about you?
Not to my knowledge.
A few words about yourself...
I used to play on my best friend's account, and played an 80 warrior through much of WotLK. Unfortunately, as my best friend wanted to come back for Cata, I had to give up the account, so I've been frantically levelling up this warrior.
In real life I'm a business school student studying for my undergrad at Nottingham University. I'm always looking for new things to learn, and ways to do the things I already know better. I'm a computer games nutcase, and recently upgraded to a top of the line laptop to play the latest games on. It eats WoW for breakfast!
I'm a very enthusiastic gamer, and I'm always trying to improve my playstyle. I'll fit in well with a guild of people who take raiding seriously, but don't take themselves seriously, as that's what I do!
Do you have any questions to us?
I got most of them answered when I grilled Bips. I'll ask any more as they come up.
This video is attempting to portray a message: ... What is that message?
The message is that bad players don't learn from their mistakes, whereas good players make the correction, and don't make the same mistake again.
