Section 1: Personal
--------------------------
Name: Stokkes (RL: JR)
Class: Drood. Yes drood.
1. Previous Guild(s):
Tyranny (and subsequently Pandemonium) as Druid officer, Forgotten Heroes, Trauma
2. Reason(s) for leaving:
I had a semi-nervous breakdown after spending 60 hours a week for 4-5 weeks trying to world-first the 4 horsemen back in the day (with FH). Trauma broke up.
3. Why do you want to join TFB?
You guys seem relaxed and always goofing around, but know when to get things done when it's time to get serious. This is a game after all, if we can't have fun, why are we playing?
4. Are you aware that TFB is is not out to 'beat' anyone(except horde)?
My tyranny days are behind me.
5. Are you easily offended by racist, sexist, or other such humor?
Never! I think I'm offended only by this question.
6. Do you have any friends within TFB? Any enemies?
No enemies that I know of. Friends? Um, I'm sure a few people may recognize my name.
8. Do you have Ventrilo and a Mic?
Yep! Do you enable Speex?

5, it's from mars, c'mon?
Section 2: Character
---------------------------
1. Link your Armory
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Burning+Blade&n=Stokkes
Yes, I know it's a bit of an eye-sore. I quit from Sept 06 to Jan 08. Joined Trauma in January and then subsequently did Kara and tried to gear up as much as I could t'll they broke up.
2. What spec. are you?
Resto HoT spec (5/11/45).
3. What are your professions, and do you have anything worth noting on them?
-A- Herbalism
-B- Alchemy (I can transmute, major fire pots, um, ya.)
4. Do you have any alts worth noting?
Do level 1 mules count?
Section 3a: Misc.
---------------------
1. If Astraeus (our raid leader) was to wrongfully chew you out in the middle of a raid, how would you react? (be honest and explain!)
I've chewed people out before and sometimes I understand we don't do it on purpose or we do it to make people learn. It's part of the game. Obviously nobody likes to be chewed out so if I had a real problem (or disagreed with what he said), I'd take it up with him in PMs.
2. If you were asked to sit out for a raid that you signed up for well in advance, how would you react? (be honest and explain!)
I'd go farm pots or dailies or stuff to get prepared for next time, or I'd log off and watch Happy Days re-runs while I contemplate my life's worth.
Section 3b: Misc.
---------------------
Now... this last set of questions are here for you to have fun with. But do just that; have fun with them! By simply answering with one word for every question that shows that you don't give a damn, and that you didn't spend time on the App! You don't have to have good or large answers for EVERY question, just make an effort. That being said, good luck. ^_^
1. If you were in charge of TFB, what would you make the guild ranks called?
Well, since the guild name implies mob-affiliations, I guess the GM rank would be "Tony" and probably name the rest based off the hierarchal importance of The Sopranos characters. Obviously the rank designated to guild jokers would be called Melfis after the Psychiatrist who isn't scared to shtup Tony.
2. What country produces better raiders, Iceland, or Turkey?
Iceland of course. Why, because it's fucking cold there and anyone who's from a cold country will tell you that those guys can survive anything. You ever see a Californian or Floridian spend a winter in Canada? Yeah, I rest my case.
3. If you lost both your hands in an accident and the doctors said, 'Well, we can leave them as stumps or we could attach the hands of a monkey', what would you do?
Well, my palms are already hairy so I guess the hands of a monkey wouldn't be that much of a stretch from what I already have!
4. Your best friend of the opposite sex is dying of a degenerative bone disease. One day he/she tells you it's their dying wish to have sex with you. You agree but after a few minutes he/she coughs, sputters and dies. Do you finish?
Depends, have I passed the point of no-return? Also, I'm a male, so from a male's perspective, I would have to ask, is she dry? I mean, nobody likes sandpaper. Granted, if I've past that magical point, well y'know, what harm can it do? But if the crater is dry, I mean, I have to think of myself.
5. Do you believe that "Mad Max", "Waterworld", "Terminator 2" and other such films represent an accurate portrayal of what a post-apocalyptic world might be like?
Did anyone watch Waterworld? I don't really think so. I'm betting we go back to the stoneage and dress up with sheets, lose our language and generally act like savages.
6. What is your idea of the perfect murder? Explain in detail if you wish.
Not getting caught. Is there any other answer?
7. Do you know how many guilds have broken up since TFB has formed?
All of them. I'm trying to think how many guilds still exist from those days and I can't think of one except for FH. But they're on a different server now.
8. Do you have any suggestions for questions that can be added to this section?
How about "If you had the choice of A) Everything going your way, no matter what happens or B) You could read other people's inner-most thoughts, which one would you choose and why?"
Is there anything else you want to say?
I know you're recruiting for Sunwell and I realize I may be a little under-geared (currently 1538 +healing) but I'm willing to put the effort to make the runs to get the gear and help you guys out.
I'm so used to the end-game raiding style that I don't think I could play anymore if all I could do was 5 and 10 mans. Having spent hours in 40mans (MC, BWL, AQ40, Naxx), I enjoy that type of raiding more than the 5 or 10s. I know the game mechanics very well and always keep up with the latest strategies or try to find new ones. Just want you to know that I prefer the actual raiding content and the experience than the loot. I've never been a loot whore and that's not why I play this game.
Anywho, thanks for looking at this. :retard:
