Player age - [HDL] guild and Ventrilo chatter is for mature audiences only. If you are not 18+, you will need to be sponsored by a guild member in good standing.
27 and balding, going on 50
Where did you hear about [HDL]?
Brett (Kasira/Kasura) and Cristin (Moraya) are members and they had told me that this was a really fun guild to be in.
Why do you want to join [HDL]?
To be a part of a fun guild that I can help grow.
What is your guild membership history? Why did you leave or want to leave?
Was given an invite to a swarm guild that I quit when I found out the GL was using the extra money for himself. Was not going to let some punk make free money off of my back anymore.
What do you want from a guild?
An enjoyable team that I can run around with and cause mischief with.
Can you follow kill order?
Skull, X, sheep moon, and keep my WE on passive cuz his AI is screwy.
Are you a Casual player, Raiding oriented player, or a PvP oriented player? If you think you are a combination of any of those, what percentage of time would you spend on each?
More casual than raiding, but if I'm geared enough I can help with raiding. I'll say 80% casual (Regs and heroics) and 20% raiding once I'm geared.

Raiding Questions
Will you dedicate 5 days a week to raiding?
No. Had guilds in the past that were like that, and I hated it.
If you answered ""Yes" to the question above, are you aware that [HDL] is not a hard core raiding guild?
Will you dedicate 2 nights a week to raiding?
Unfortunately, no. My RL schedule is hectic and I won't force myself to be on at specific times. I'll fill in when I can if there's a spot, but I won't make promises I might have to break.
Are you willing to take/accept criticism to make you a better player?
Yes.
We do require Omen and Deadly Boss Mods. Do you have these installed?
DBM, yes. Omen, outdated but easily upgraded.
What is your primary and secondary talent build? Which do you prefer?
Depends. Right now I've been running frost all around, but I do have a fire spec. I prefer arcane, but until it's buffed, I'll stay as frost and enjoy it.
What is your rotation for your primary and secondary builds?
Frost: FB for 3 secs till tank has minimal AoE aggro, FFO, FFB on brain freezes, DF when off CD
Fire: LB x3, Blast Wave/FS, Flame Orb, FFB till Impact procs.
Explain your gear choices, including gems and enchants.
Right now I'm frost. Crit/mastery increase my DPS the most. I have enough hit for heroics, and I don't need haste because I have no DoTs.
What do you think of Gearscore?
Handy tool. But like every tool, only useful if you know what it really does.

PVP Questions
You are headed to run an instance with non-guildies when you spot a flagged gnome. What is the proper course of action: 1) Ignore the gnome and head to the instance, 2) Send a message to the guild of your find. flag immediately, and kill the gnome, leaving the PUG to wait, or 3) neither. If you selected 3, what course of action would you take?
3. Neither. I'd throw it in a cauldron and make gnome stew. (I don't PvP.)

For some reason, I consider that an acceptable and full of win answer to the question. :judge:
Which race makes a better shaman - orc or goblin?
Orc. Go old school original style...or go home.
Poop on goblins and they're 1% haste. Who needs haste when Orc shamans were dancing the night away way back in the day?
1) Who would win in a fight, a troll or a rogue?
2) Why a troll priest?
8/10 what? Please provide units. Show your work and include a dinosaur.

2) Why a troll priest?
1. A rogue. Backstabs the forum troll with overwhelming intelligence and witty retorts.
2. Berserking for more haste when a tank decides to do something stupid and the priest has to save the tanks' rear.

8/10 Velociraptors. cuz Velociraptors are cool and are one of the few dinosaurs that would be in an 8 dinosaur pack.
Do you keyboard turn?
Quote from: EniliasPoop on goblins and they're 1% haste.
Goblins are 1% haste? What slots can I equip goblins in? I'm assuming Tauren get a racial bonus to the number of goblins that they can equip.

Tauren Arms Warriors are the only class that can dual-wield goblins for a 2% haste bonus.
How do you feel about jurassic park? eh eh?

Cool movie, cuz it was different at the time when it first came out. But they should've stopped after the first one on movies. Haven't read the books that the movie was based off of. Not really my mug of ale for reading material though. More of a scifi/fantasy guy for reading.

The tauren is wielding 2 goblins. Your argument is invalid. B)
