--- General Information ---
1. Tell us a little about yourself: How old are you? Where are you from?
>>I am a 24 year old male. Live in buffalo, NY. Have been playing MMO's since age like 13 (Everquest 1 started) I am an avid hockey player. I have degrees in both business management and criminal justice. I work as a software engineer at a company called Castel.<<
2. What guilds (if any) have you been in? If so, why did you leave? If you are a server transfer, why did you pick Immo/Skullcrusher?
>>I was a founding member of Destiny's Bane, have been in it my entire WoW career. I picked Skullcrusher because it was the server all of my friend started to play on in vanilla. I chose to app to Immo because I have become a little frustrated at the rapidly decreasing level of play on horde side. Immo has been around since vanilla giving us problems with awesome players like Haniel
back in the WSG days. I know you guys are serious about raiding and getting achievements and that is what matters the most to me while playing. It is also a huge plus that I have never run into any uber-nerds or jerks in your guild.<<3. What is the best way to contact you?
>>In-game, or via e-mail at mjripa@gmail.com. If necessary I can provide a cell number for raids etc. If I am not working I am on any of my main characters (can be contacted via realid at mjripa@gmail.com)<<
4. How did you hear about us?
>>Played against you guys since vanilla<<

6. Do you have Ventrilo and/or a mic to communicate with your prospective guild members?
>>Yes<<
7. What are your computer specs and internet connection? Can you handle max graphic settings at a reasonable framerate in a 25 man raid?
>>8 gigs ram, Dual 9800 gtx 1 gig cards, quad core processor. I can run 3 instances of WoW on high graphics<<
8. Please attach some World of Logs records (or any similar log parses you may have) of some recent raids. Feel free to submit bad ones and identify what you did wrong and why they weren't as stellar as other ones you've submitted (Learning from mistakes and not repeating them again makes for much better raiders and shows us you can learn and adapt).
>>Sorry, dont really have any of them handy. I've been a core raider in DB for a long time though (when they used to be successful.) more than willing to try out<<
9. Tell us about your raiding experience. Go into any pertinent details about what you killed and what guild(s) you've killed it with. Let us know if it was pre-nerf or post-nerf. Tell us about how you made a difference and helped your past guild achieve those kills. How does your class role play into all of this?
>>Did MC, BWL, (kinda took a break during BT) naxx (pre-nerf and post) as well as ToC and limited ICC (finishing my degree during the early stages).
Always have been a competent raider, my extensive experience in much more difficult raiding games (Everquest, FFXII, EQ2) has given me an edge on the relatively simplistic WoW raiding scene. I have always made myself availiable to try for achievements (i.e undying etc pre icc. Wipes don't concern me as long as we get the achievements done as soon as possible to represent the skill of the guild.) Would love to be very serious about this especially now with the new guild achievement and perk system.<<
10. Tell us about your class. Likes, dislikes, etc. What makes you good at your class? Tell us a little about gear, your class, situational gear, specs, and how it all relates to your flexibility in raiding. Go into high detail about your rotations/spells/abilities you use, how it maximizes your job and why.
>>I began WoW as a shaman (when they didnt even have a talent tree in early vanilla) and have GREATLY enjoyed the changeover to DK though with the lack of CC with cata, it is making it increasingly frustrating right now to be extremely effective in any way but heavy dps. This is why ive power leveled a druid since they would be more useful in a raiding scene. I had great experiences tanking and dpsing on my death knight (even though they nerfed dk tanks hard with the ICC debuff). Death Knight appeal to me because of the importance of a flawless rotation. This is as close as I can get to the old days of players having to be 110% on top of their class at all times in games like Everquest (enchanters anyone?). A big draw for a death knight tank spec is that a well geared and skilled tank can still out-dps some classes even while tanking. The combination of frost spec with the new mastery trinkets etc. allow for very unique combinations for high damage rotations. My biggest dislike right now is the absolute shaft DK's got with their 81-85 skills. These skills pale in comparison to so many other classes expansion skills. They are HEAVILY pvp focused and I feel thats very unfair to heavy PVE players, hoping blizzard will address this.<<
11. What is your schedule like? What times during the week can you raid? Our raid start at 8:00pm EST and last until 12am midnight. Usually Sunday through Thursday.
>>I can make my own schedule at my job so whatever nights raiding is important I can be available. (I have a very understanding girlfriend lol)<<
12. Please post up a link to a screenshot of your User Interface.
>>I always have and always will play with mostly a basic interface, using only mods such as DBM and recount. Never have needed others and can still perform at a high level of competence. <<
13. If your house was on fire, and you were raiding with us, what would you do?
>>Let you guys know I was going to be AFK while I ran my computer out, then get to a friends house and hook in so I can finish the raid. Homeowners insurance can wait
<<14. General Comments about yourself to us. This is your opportunity to convince us that you are the players that we want in our guild.
>>I've spoken to Imidril about myself and a few others coming over from Destiny's Bane and we seemed to be on the same page in what we were looking for and what Immo as a whole was looking for. I would really like to be able to switch all my 80's and 85's to Alliance and contribute heavily to a guild that seems focused on progress and excellence.<<
