This is a re-application, I was a member a long time ago. My original thread is here: http://hordedefenseleague.org/index.php/topic,543.0.html
I've started playing again, although I'm spending more time leveling my Paladin than playing my priest.

I have a lot of hobbies, so I don't expect to be a dedicated raider.
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?
1. If I spend enough time on a gnome to kill him, then I have already lost.
A tea bag is 1) a small porous bag containing tea leaves or powdered tea, onto which boiling water is poured in order to make a drink of tea, or 2) a verb.

Can you follow kill order?
Yes, although I've tanked or healed almost every instance run I've been on. I fucking love tanking.
We do require Omen and Deadly Boss Mods. Do you have these installed?
Yes.
Are you aware the [HDL] is largely a collection of angry and cynical players and under-geared toons?
Sounds like Korrtez to me.
Really? Why do you still want to join [HDL]
What's HDL? I thought this was an AA meeting.
Korrtez is a friend of yours?
Denied!
Also, our app totally has more questions now. Slacker.

Where did you hear about [HDL]?
Korrtez
Why do you want to join [HDL]?
Korrtez is a buddy of mine and I'm marrying Znaka.
What is your guild membership history? Why did you leave or want to leave?
I stopped playing a year or so ago and was removed for inactivity.
What do you want from a guild?
Mostly a community and people to run dungeons besides PUGs.
Can you follow kill order?
Yes, although I've tanked or healed almost every instance run I've been on. I fucking love tanking.
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?
I am primarily casual. I don't really do PVP in WoW, and I don't plan to dedicate a lot of time to raiding.
Raiding Questions
Will you dedicate 5 days a week to raiding?
No, I have a job and occasionally like to breathe oxygen.
If you answered ""Yes" to the question above, are you aware that [HDL] is not a hard core raiding guild?
N/A
Will you dedicate 2 nights a week to raiding?
I have a lot of hobbies, so I don't expect to be a dedicated raider.
Are you willing to take/accept criticism to make you a better player?
Yes. I'm casual, not stupid or lazy.
We do require Omen and Deadly Boss Mods. Do you have these installed?
Yes.
What is your primary and secondary talent build? Which do you prefer?
The paladin I'm playing now started as Retribution. As soon as I hit 30 I dual specced Protection and began tanking dungeons. I haven't really been back to Ret since.
What is your rotation for your primary and secondary builds?
I couldn't really tell you the Ret rotation at this point, I haven't been in that spec for about 9 levels. For Prot I'm getting a lot of milage out of Hammer of Righteousness and Judgement, with Consecrate for groups and an avengers shield if I don't think they're going to die so fast I'll need it again to pull within 15 seconds. I'll also occasionally pop a Holy Wrath if everything else is cooling down, I usually have mana to spare. I just got Shield of the Righteous, so I'll be learning how to work that in.
Explain your gear choices, including gems and enchants.
Right now I'm just grabbing whatever upgrades I get from dungeon drops. No gems or enchants on this character yet. I will say that enchantments are something I don't know that much about, and is often a weak spot on my other characters.
What do you think of Gearscore?
Never paid much attention to it.

If you selected 3, what course of action would you take?
1 again. I'm less likely to waste time on a guild run. Of course, these last two questions are practically moot now, since I just teleport right to dungeons these days.

Do you prefer Battlegrounds, Arenas, or World PVP? Why?
If I was going to PVP in WoW, I'd probably do battlegrounds. Those at least have objectives and some degree of level balance. Ganking noobs in Ashenvale holds no thrill for me.
What is your favorite battleground? Why?
I did the low level one a couple times over 2 years ago. I couldn't tell you my favorite.
Rank in important to stack for an Arena battle: Resilience, Attack Power/Spell Power, Critical Strike, Hit Rating.
Resilience, Hit Rating, Attack Power/Spell Power, Critical Strike
Social Questions
How would you rate yourself as a World of Warcraft player?
Above average. I PUG, I've seen the average. I read, pay attention, and learn from mistakes.
Does .Net suck?
I've never had a positive experience with it.
Whiskey or whisky?

What is your favorite instance? What is your favorite boss fight?
Halls of Reflection was cool, I liked the outrunning the terminator part. My favorite Boss fights are the ones where I don't get fucked like a bitch.
Are you easily offended? Is your hot button race, religion, sex, or politics?
No, I have a thick skin.
Are you aware the [HDL] is largely a collection of angry and cynical players and under-geared toons?
Still sounds like Korrtez to me.
Really? Why do you still want to join [HDL]
What's HDL? I thought this was an AA meeting.
(I am still under the misguided belief that this is funny.)
Bob's priest was in the guild before and got booted during one of Pat's purging for being MIA or not responding to the "Everyone needs to respond to this or get kicked out" forum post a while back.
*nod* I remember Tullaude as well...
Bob, drop us a line in-game and we'll get you reinvited.
