Player name (We operate on a first name basis in HDL)
Ronald Dwayne Filloon III

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.
I am 21 as of June 21st. Metabirthday FTW

Where did you hear about [HDL]?
Dina - Hedonismbot

Why do you want to join [HDL]?
I'm lonely :(

What is your guild membership history? Why did you leave or want to leave?
All others on Haomarush
Zul'Jin - Reborn - Funny story I was kinda kicked out because of Hedonismbot. Ask her the story.

What do you want from a guild?
Companionship and  to be rewarded for all work put in. It seems like most guilds do not realize that each person is making a sacrifice to make raids or log on and help out guildies. Every precious second is worth something and every person no matter how many seconds put into the guild deserves respect and recognition. Above all every guild member deserves reward. This does not constitute loot whoring by any means. Just a motivational and respectful acknowledgment of work done or appreciation of presence.

Can you follow kill order?
I've only healed during all of my raiding experience but to be honest it looks easy as hell.

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'm a hardcore raider through and through. However, I'm just looking to hang out and gear up alts and experiment with PVP. Social 20% PvP 10% 80% Raiding

Raiding Questions

Will you dedicate 5 days a week to raiding?
I could as long as no obligations interfere.

If you answered ""Yes" to the question above, are you aware that [HDL] is not a hard core raiding guild?
Yep. Suits me fine.

Will you dedicate 2 nights a week to raiding?
Easily.

Are you willing to take/accept criticism to make you a better player?
Always.

We do require Omen and Deadly Boss Mods. Do you have these installed?
Yep.

What is your primary and secondary talent build? Which do you prefer?
Priest - Holy/Disc (experimenting with shadow ATM)
Shaman- Resto/Ele
Warrior Bandages or Prot if you want. *shrug*

I prefer anything that heals.

What is your rotation for your primary and secondary builds?
Holy/Disc/Resto = Spamming heals mostly. I'm damn good at it. Healing does not have a set rotation. If you stick to one it means you do not attempt to react to what is happening or even try to predict what is going to happen in a fight. Thus you are just plain bad and have no business healing.  No redemption from it.
Let's see what else?
Ele - FS , Lava Burst, Any Lightning x4  *repeat*
prot - taunt, thunder clap, shockwave, devastate, cleave, shield block. I don't really know what's best I'm noob at it.

Explain your gear choices, including gems and enchants.
The program Rawr enables me to gear optimally and efficiently.

What do you think of Gearscore?
It is bullshit. Give a retard the best gear he is still a retard. It is not called gearSKILL. :judge:

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?
1

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.
1&2

Do you prefer Battlegrounds, Arenas, or World PVP? Why?
Arenas - I love the act of teaming up against even odds with one way to glory.

What is your favorite battleground? Why?
WSG! CTF has always been a rewarding game style no matter what game it is in. If it aint' broke don't fix it.

Rank in important to stack for an Arena battle: Resilience, Attack Power/Spell Power, Critical Strike, Hit Rating.
Resilience,Resilience,Resilience,Resilience,Resilience,Resilience,Resilience. The rest is just a perk.

Social Questions

How would you rate yourself as a World of Warcraft player?
On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give myself a healthy: "Battle wounded veteran."

Does .Net suck?
microsoft .net framework? I like it. Or did you mean battle.net? or websites that end in .net?

Whiskey or whisky?
I don't drink alcohol. I NEVER will. >:(

Fun, Camaraderie, Women, Raiding, Altahalism, Music, Loot, PvP, Crafting.

Please provide a perl script that will sort a CSV file by first column, then second, and then insert into a mysql database.
Ok. First off. I hate database programming so me even making an attempt at this should prove my dedication. I've never used perl but I've used SQL a bit. Also, why the hell would you put this here knowing it is going to take up so many lines?? :-\

#!/usr/bin/perl
my @data;
open(BASE, $db) or die "Can't open $db: $!";
while (<BASE>) {
    chomp;
    push @data, [split ',', $_]
}
my @sorted = sort {$a->[1] <=> $b->[1]} @data;

use Mysql;

print "Content-type: text/html \n\n";

# MYSQL CONFIG VARIABLES
$host = "localhost";
$database = "store";
$tablename = "inventory";
$user = "username";
$pw = "password";

# PERL MYSQL CONNECT()
$connect = Mysql->connect($host, $database, $user, $pw);

# SELECT DB
$connect->selectdb($database);

# DEFINE A MySQL QUERY
$myquery = "INSERT @data INTO
$tablename (csvrow1,csvrow2)
VALUES (DEFAULT,DEFAULT)";

# EXECUTE THE QUERY FUNCTION
$execute = $connect->query($myquery);

# AFFECTED ROWS
$affectedrows = $execute->affectedrows($myquery);

# ID OF LAST INSERT
$lastid = $execute->insertid($myquery);

print $affectedrows."
";
print $lastid."
";


What is your favorite instance? What is your favorite boss fight?
Ulduar. Tie. Mimron Hardmode & Yogg -2

Are you easily offended? Is your hot button race, religion, sex, or politics?
Racism pisses me off more than anything. The rest is pretty good fodder for jokes.

Are you aware the [HDL] is largely a collection of angry and cynical players and under-geared toons?
Are you aware that I don't care?

Really? Why do you still want to join [HDL]
Meh.

What are your thoughts about Jurassic Park?

The only one of your toons I was able to find was "Shampaign" here on US-Zul'jin. The other two you listed were not found on either US-Zul'jin or US-Haomarush. "Itankyouspank" was not found on any US or EU WOW Server. Do you use special characters that you didn't include in your toons' names?

In your opinion, what sort of 'reward' do you think should be awarded to Guild members? Are you speaking of a monetary or physical reward (as in preferential treatment of items, etc.) or are you more leaning towards that motivational and respectful acknowledgment you wrote of in your last sentence?

I'm glad you added the second sentence in here. I enjoy raiding and try to get us going as often as I can. That being said, though, we have no true minimal attendance policy and always tell our members to put Real Life before any game commitments. Please understand there may wind up being nights or a full week that raiding would be non-existent for any number of reasons.

This question is more targeted at trying to determine your understanding of your class(es) stats and mechanics. Programs such as Rawr can be useful but it helps to have your own working knowledge of the information so that you can know whether or not Rawr's out to lunch.

Thank you, Dina. For those interested, Ronald's Priest's name is Compassiön here on US-Zul'jin.

Completing this question should be an automatic guild invite.

Who would win in a fight, a troll or a rogue?

Also, why a troll priest?

Additionally,

OK SO! I JUST REALIZED I WAS VERY DISTRACTED AND KINDA IN A BAD MOOD WHEN I FILLED OUT THE APP AND IT RUBBED OFF ON IT. I'VE REPLACED ALL KEYS ON MY KEYBOARD WITH CAPS LOCK KEYS SO I THINK I'LL BE FINE NOW.

disregard that last post Ronald was a grinch.

In other news...

QuoteWho would win in a fight, a troll or a rogue?

Additionally,

The rogue and priest archetypes would fuze into one class called pr0gue. (this all happens behind the scenes in the character creation screen) This archetype would have sick summoned shadow swords and psychically annoy people with whispers not screams. Also, a really shiny bellybutton. Of course the class would be too cool for trolls to be them so trolls lose this one. Sorry :(

Quoteleaning towards that motivational and respectful acknowledgment you wrote of in your last sentence?

Basically ONLY the last sentence. I wanna feel the love.

QuoteAn 'E' for effort in writing all of that out! I'm a lazy programmer though. I would have just linked to some lib and called the function!

WRONG!!! you mean A I'm the only one to even try. I AM THE EFFORT! WITHOUT ME YOU WOULD WANT TO DO NOTHING.

QuoteThis question is more targeted at trying to determine your understanding of your class(es) stats and mechanics. Programs such as Rawr can be useful but it helps to have your own working knowledge of the information so that you can know whether or not Rawr's out to lunch.

SPEAKING OF BEING LAZY! That is a prime example of a lazy response. Generally my sole purpose is to gear according to how I want to gear. I like trying new things. I don't believe that everyone should replicate everyone else in order to be successful. However, that is the sad truth with this game. There is one right and one wrong. Anyways. I know everything there is to know about priest. However! I'm pretty sure you guys do not need one. Warrior = nothing. Shaman = Little more than nothing. I'm looking to learn. Got knowledge to dish? Let me at it.

P.S. Sorry for not posting the correct linxxx. I'm not used to having the weird characters in my name I just xfered to Z'J a while back. My warrior is not xfered as of yet but he was supposed to be before any of you read this message. Did not happen though.

Taking more questions.

To break it all down. When I log in I want to:
1. Hop in vent and tell really dry humored jokes and have maybe .5 people laugh at them
2. Log in and stalk guild members while spamming /kiss
3. Have a non instance adventure and perhaps roleplay a little bit in each of your respective bedrooms.
4. Get naked and rowdy and or hot and bothered
5. Be obnoxiously lovable and cute
6. pwn the zone -trademarked BTW
7. Shimmy
9. Snuggle
10. Learn to count.
11.  OBJECTION :judge:
12. BE REALLY HAPPY AND HYPER AND ENJOYING YOU ENJOYING ME AND RUN ON SENTENCES!
12. REPEAT.

LOL. Wow. Ok. Answers my questions.

Nice to meet you, Ronald.

It is a pleasure to meet you too sir! Forgive me for not being myself. Could not have happened at a more inopportune time or location. I assure you I'll bring a little light into your guild. :-*

Hit one of us up in game, and we'll get you an invite.
