Q: What brought you to our website? A: Your Add on GW2 Forums Q: This recruitment process requires that we get to know you a little bit. Please tell us a little about yourself. A: Well.. urmmm If I said I was a Manager in the UK Construction Industry, specialising in Design and Construction Management for Major Commercial and Educational projects, you would read any further? No, nor would I. So ... how about .. ex party girl and beach addict (London / Mallorca / Ibiza) who has given up travelling and bought a house, got a proper job, likes to sing in a rock / blues band on weekends, hates TV and likes to kill things online while laughing as much as possible on VOIP ? Q: All members are expected to uphold respectful conduct when communicating with other players and guildmates. This applies to in-game situations, our website and on guild/GW2 related websites and message boards. Intolerance for others based upon religion / sexuality / gender / ethnicity / etc. is not welcome. We are a guild of HONOR and INTEGRITY, and we reflect that in all public forums. The general rule of thumb is to treat people how you would like to be treated in return. How do you feel about this? A: Agreed. Honour and Integrity is something I aspire to daily and look for hopefully in others. Q: In-Game Guild Status - Guild Wars 2 will allow characters to switch between multiple guilds as they wish while playing the game. The OSD Division Leadership Council within the Guild Wars 2 game expect that you will focus your time and energy towards this guild alone and will keep your characters as members of the OSD. Therefore it is an expectation that you will be 'representing' the Order of the Silver Dragons at all times while playing in-game as a member of this community. With that said, there might be a feasible reason why an ‘alt’ character or an RP character should be in another guild. Special cases and requests will be handled on an individual basis. What are your thoughts on this? A: This is a tough one... I have been playing GW1 and have Guild currently. I have been brought up by these guys and they are my mates too, therefore I have considerable loyalty to them. The Guild is as old as the game and has kinda run out of steam, they know and will understand why I am looking for a bigger fish pond to play in. I will explain why I am leaving and request from both Guilds, that I be allowed to stay on as a Guest to allow me to hook up with them when my buddies are on sometimes. Q: We have found that guild members have a better gaming experience if they use the forums and the events calender. This allows you to get game information and join guildies in events as your real life time permits. Do you intend on being active on our website forums and events calendar? A: Absolutely, its sounds like a great way to get connected. Q: Once you learn how, we would like you to create events or RSVP for other scheduled events as your real life schedule permits. What are your thoughts on this? A:Again sounds like a perfect solution, but I am assuming you can still form an 'ad-hock' group with the Game Guild roster? Q: Have you been playing MMO's for a while, or are you just getting started? A: GW is my first RP MMO, I used online 'Builder' games as weekday boredom busters and evening friend forums. My main gaming was based on Xbox /PC games, Tomb Raider (woops my age is showing) and Assassins Creed, which will explain my love of the wide open spaces and fab graphics on GW. A gamer friend recommended me to get into GW2 and suggested that I get a head start by playing the 'old' GW while I waited for it to come out. Best advice ever and having started in February I am now finishing NF / EotN in HM picking up points for my Hall of Monuments on two toons, an Elli and a Ranger. Q: We expect all members to submit and update their characters in our Guild Wars 2 sub-forum. Are you okay with this? After reading the above content, why do you think it might be important? A: I can have a guess ... team selection and cred for the Guild? Q: What kind of character do you typically play? Tell us about your main character you envision, and please list any alts that you know you will be bringing into the guild as well. A: On the Beta I ran a Human Ranger as this was the easiest to set up quickly and compare with my current toon. I want to try other professions and races.. 5 new slots will give me some options to explore. Q: What type of playstyle do you enjoy the most? A: I have only tried PvE at the moment, that's why I am looking for a new guild. I want to try the PvP and WvW but I want some help with it :shock: Really I love running around killing stuff and working up builds with a team of mates, that will mow down anything. I love being part of a team, that's the MMO bit for me, the thinking and planning and execution fascinate me, learning new stuff, improving. All this and the killer humour on the chat what more could you ask? Q: If you violate any rules defined within the gaming EULA, you will face disciplinary action up to and including removal from this community. Do you understand, and agree with this rule? A: Fine .. but I am not in this to piss people off. Q: We have a Ventrilo server available to our members. We strongly suggest that our members log into our Vent server whenever they are playing GW2. You don't have to speak if you don't want to, so long as you are on to listen to other members that might need help or guidance. With that said, we have several dedicated Vent rooms that allow you to sit quietly in peace if you so wish. All public discussion areas such as public vent channels are PG-13. Are you okay with this? A: A voice option for me is critical. I am Dyslexic and find typing coherently and playing at the same time ... impossible. :hm: Q: What time of day do you typically play? How often? A: Evenings and weekends ... Real life gets in the way abit! Q: Are you affiliated with any other guilds? A: yes .. see above. Q: How do you think you can best help this community? How can this community best help you? A:I never had a problem with any of the forums/ crews / guilds I have been involved in. I like to think of myself as good company, up for any kind of sillyness and a laugh at all times. I want to be part of the community, getting to know new people, swapping ideas and listening to other people is a huge part of the MMO thing, and I have plenty to say myself! Q: OSD is generally a "casual, do it all" guild, meaning we welcome players from all playstyles and don't limit our focus to one playstyle in particular. We welcome PvPers, PvEers, Roleplayers, Crafters, etc. For example, while we may offer weekly raids, we are not a hardcore raiding guild that requires you to raid 5 or 6 nights a week. We also do not consider any one playstyle to be more important than another, all members of OSD are equal. For example, a hardcore PvPer will never be considered "more valuable" to the guild than a casual Roleplayer would be. Are you okay with this? Any additional thoughts on this topic? A: this is fine with me, I want the opportunity to try every thing the game has to offer. I need the specialists to help me explore and get better and I think I can offer something in return for the time they put in with me. Q: With the previous question in mind...We will never force you to participate in any activity or event that falls outside your playstyle of choice. However, from time to time you may be asked to help the guild out if we are short a particular class, or just need to fill up an empty group spot. Are you okay with this? Any additional thoughts on this topic? A: Sounds good, again, I want to try as much as possible. Q: We do ask that you stay active on the guild website as much as possible. We don't expect anybody to become a forum junkie by any means. But we do expect our members to cast their votes on any polls we put up, give input in any posts we make asking for opinions, as well as chime in with your thoughts when other members open discussions. What are your thoughts on this? A: As above, I want to join in and will add my comments if I think they're relevant. Q: What previous experience, if any, do you have with the original Guild Wars? A: I have completed NM on two toons in NF and EotN. I am currently half way through the NF map in HM. Getting the builds organised with my Hero teams and playing happily with the team configurations. Oh, and I got a killer Elli with Searing Flame / Malestrome builds for group outings to UW or FoE
Welcome to the OSD forums Lola! Keep an eye out for Xanz and Zsolaith as they'll be guiding your application. A bunch of others will probably drop in to say hi as well..again, welcome!
Hello Lola! Damn you've partied at Ibiza. Ive always wanted to go. Listened to many recordings of dj's playing Amnesia, Space, privilege. How amazing is the island?
Hello and welcome to OSD ! Thanks for sharing about yourself. I'm looking forward to playing some GW2 with you, and laughing maniacally as we 2v5 pwn people in WvWvW.
hey .. yes pretty wild and Space was my fav. Dance alot swim a bit .. repeat till you fall over What was it they said .. "If you can remember you weren't there?" Well, perhaps I remember too much, certainly missing the sunshine at the mo. Have you checked out the Cafe del Mar tracks .. those are the ones that remind me the most of the Island.
Not really liver, but you might want to shower. =p Man, I've always wanted to go to Ibiza! I mean who wouldn't want to go to the largest club in the world? I'm into electronica in all aspects, so it fits, right? Glad to see that you made it to our home. You sound like a perfect fit for our community. I've accepted your permission group requests, so you should be all set to explore the site. Chat us up, we're a lively bunch most of the time. The GW2 forums has a lot of great information, much of which you might not be privy to, so check it out. Welcome, Lola of the Order of the Silver Dragons!
Apologies Kenjamin Thanks for the welcome and forgive that I pressed the wrong button on the reply box. The laughs obviously begin with my ineptitude
Hi Xanz And thanks for the 'in'. I will check out the forums and hope that I get a chance to play with you guys ... this month ??? its nice to know that my miss spent youth comes in handy .. lol. We can talk electronica any time you want! )
Cafe del Mar Tracks are what got me interested in elctronica music and ibiza in general such good music! Def planning to Ibiza sometime in the future sounds like a eye opening experience.
Welcome Lola! I see that you have already been made to feel quite at home, and that Xanz took care of your permissions, so all is good. Please take some time to review the following information as you will be expected to abide by our Charter of Excellence: READ THIS Glad to have you.
