Q: What brought you to our website? A: Dennis sent me to join this guild with a few of our friends from Xbox and friends of friends for the up and coming guild wars 2. Q: This recruitment process requires that we get to know you a little bit. Please tell us a little about yourself. A: 27 yrs old, student/guard. Have a son and am engaged. I game with family and friends. I'm easy going, laid back, and when I get into something I can get super competitive. Looking to get into the WvW and be scout/assassination group. 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:I agree. I'm all about good fun, playful banter, but malicious intent can be left at home to whomever is your foot stool. People of all ages and religions and backgrounds play online games and I'm not the kind of person to take a dump in anyone's cornflakes. 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: I have no problem with dedicating myself to one guild. I feel that would build a comfortable atmosphere for me to work in and get to know a group of people and form a natural chemistry. Q: Ventrilo is a communications tool that allows our membership to experience the full effect of being in a community-based gaming guild. If you feel alone in game and you don't feel that much is going on, or felt the scheduled event experience was lacking or not working as intended... it might just be because you aren't using the communications tools available to you.VENTRILO use will be 'Strongly Encouraged' for all players to actively use while performing normal game activities whenever you are playing in GW2. Even though it is not a requirement, it should be strongly considered for usage as a communications tool that allows our membership to experience the full effect of being in a community-based gaming guild. VENTRILO use can, and no doubt will be 'Mandatory' during organized guild events, such as Dynamic Content runs and meta-events/dungeons, WvW, sPvP, group or team meetings, as well as other types of scheduled events if the event coordinator advises of such. 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 our Ventrilo policies? A: Yeah thats fine. A few of the people I'm joining with from Xbox live have used xbox live to communicate while playing other online pc games for competitive play. We've got such a chemistry now where we don't have to say nothing at all about the game, so I most definitely don't have a problem with that. Q: If you are accepted as a member of our guild, you will automatically be placed at our 'New Member' position within the game. Please be mindful that this is not a single-player RPG game, but a multi-wing online gaming community. You will be expected to communicate, interact and support your fellow guildies, as well as ensure that you follow our Charter of Excellence at all times. In order to show your allegiance or loyalty to our community, we will ask that you perform certain 'Community Quests' that give you the opportunity to communicate, interact and generally become a member of our community (don't worry, they are enjoyable tasks that allows you to get involved with our player-base). Once these 'Guild Quests' are resolved, you will be raised one rank level in-game which allows you to access all the benefits of our guild. Are you okay with this? A: Thats fine, I don't see anything wrong about working to get a better benefit. Plus it helps other members. 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: I may not post a lot but I do intend on being active and checking regularly so I can participate. 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: Thats fine, it follows the guild lines of you wanting us to be a close knit community. Q: Have you been playing MMO's for a while, or are you just getting started? A: I've played quite a few: DOMO, Gunz, Dungeon Fighter, Bots, and Wonderland Online which me and my wife was very involved in the Chuvarnes guild and made real friends with folks from all over the world. Q: We expect all members to submit and update their characters in our Guild Wars 2 sub-forum 'Character Roster' (character name, class, level, possibly build, etc.). Are you okay with this? After reading the above content, why do you think it might be important? A: Yeah. So maybe we can make characters for certain situations or even to see how builds are to make better teams. 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: Well as of now I'm making a Char Thief. Want him to specialize in recon and assassination. Probably going to build all the mob type skills to overwhelm my opponent one on one as well as concealing and assassination skills. Q: What type of playstyle do you enjoy the most? A: I enjoy story PvE, but a good PvP system and great teammates make me hype. 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: Yes. Q: What time of day do you typically play? How often? A: Evening during the week and I play probably 20+ hours a week in games. Q: Are you affiliated with any other guilds? A: No. Q: How do you think you can best help this community? How can this community best help you? A: Um I am not sure. This is going to be my first major mmo guild, so I'm here to learn and have fun. 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: Yeah. Because guilds are 100 players. Having people covering different spectrums of play only makes the guild stronger. Hell I'm the type of player that will switch inbetween each depending on how I'm feeling when I load the game. 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: Sure. I'm a team player and helping the guild is the purpose for joining one. I'm all in. 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: Thats fine. I have no problem with dong this from time to time. Q: What previous experience, if any, do you have with the original Guild Wars? A: None. Just watched videos, but this one is so dynamic that I couldn't stay away.
A charr thief? Sounds like a great combo with my own charr thief! Good to have you! Anyway, welcome to the Gates! Our leadership should be with you shortly to decide your acceptance, but in the mean time please take a look around the site and familiaze yourself with our Code, Ethics and other information. I'm sure you'll find it acceptable for dealing with a mature and responsible group such as OSD. While we await the arrival of the Guild Wars 2 release date, we are currently very active on our forums. Hope to see you pitch in to the conversations! I hope you'll find everything to your liking here at OSD!
Well said, my friend! I do however need you to apply for the citizen and member permission groups individually. To do this go to the top right of your screen and hit settings. From there go to the menus on middle/left of the screen and hit permission groups. I'll check back later.
Ok, I sent my member and citizenship request in. I'm going to call my cousin and get him to do the questionairre as well. Thanks for the open arms. Yeah Dennis I'm about to clown out with my Char thief. I've been on the wiki trying to map out my progression. Ropihl sweet. How are you building your char thief? I have read the rules and etiquettes, going to snoop around the forum and post some. Mind as well start out on the right foot lol.
Cool bro ... did you make sure to do member and citizenship seperate cause doing them both in one click doesnt work just checking everyone makes that mistake at the start lol anyways yea im debating between a warrior and a guardian both are fun and im looking forward to owning in my wvw
My thief is S/P P/P, using Unload/Dagger Storm and Haste Pistol Whip + Signet of Malice for healing. I don't have my build posted anywhere, but that's the main gist. I rarely use dual daggers and haven't touched the short bow. Seems rather odd for being a thief!
Lol ok. I think I may use the bow, pistol, dual wield daggers, trap utilities for ganking and finding enemies. Thats all I know for now.
Thank you for completing the application process, I've accepted your permission requests and you're good to go! Welcome to the Silver Dragons! Please take a few minutes to review THIS since it has many things that pertain to the GW2 division. Welcome.
man it's like Dennis knows everyone! seriously big D where do you find all these gaming friends? haha Anyways welcome!
What can i say i make/have lots of gaming friends lol just glad ive been able to help fill our ranks with good fun friendly players and more to come
