Monday
Tuesday

Saturday
Sunday
UI
Upload UI: 
Which addons do you consider essential and why?: 
Some are mandatory and some are purely aesthetic. I pretty much only use a few: DBM, Omen, PallyPower and Recount. Never been a fan of most of the action bar ones. Always willing to get new ones though.
PvE
Raid Experience: 

I raided as a priest in vanilla, clearing everything through about half of Naxx as a healer in the guild Overrated, which became Milked later.

I rolled this pally at the start of BC and raided Kara as a healer. Later I became a tank while in the guild Iniquitous where we cleared SSC, TK, Hyjal and everything but Illidan in BT. No Sunwell unfortunately.

Finally, for WotLK I was a tank through all of Naxx, Uld and about halfway into ToC when I respecced ret. As for ICC experience, the 10 man I run with (composed of several Downfall members) is working on LK and we hope to get him this Friday night. In 25 man I have 8/12 experience.

Personal
What timezone are you in?: 
OR, USA
Tell us a little about yourself.: 
I am currently a PhD student working in applied physics. I make thin-film solar cells from quantum dots and characterization of them using a moving photocarrier grating. Is this making any sense?
Open/Closed:

When he toasts bread, it often turns out burnt.  I'm not sure if this should have any impact on his app, but it's something to keep in mind.

 

I know he knows a good shammy and tree as well if you're in need of those :o

I'm giving my thumbs up for Pelana.  Seems like an all around nice guy. 


You're putting out some good numbers.  If you can commit to all three nights of Salmon raiding I think we can fit you in.  Keep up the good work.

Scaron — Wed, 04/21/2010 - 16:22

I like this guy. In addition to doing some nice dps last night, he's around on the website joking around and helping people by making suggestions about how to get wow back running again. These are the marks of an overall quality community member that more guild apps could learn from.

Keep sticking around, it's nice to have you.

Pending the appropriate "try-out" period to assess burn-out, emo-out, etc, I vote thumbs up.

I hear you like to raid naked, is this true? ;)

Not sure if I can recommend someone else who's is applying, but I shall anyways!  Pelana is pro!

Pelana — Tue, 04/20/2010 - 07:35

I only raid naked when you're sitting across from me. Helps me beat you on dps when you're disgusted.

Atar — Mon, 04/19/2010 - 06:02

Salmon may be in need of a Ret pally here soon.  Be online and ready Tues, Wed, Thurs in case I could get you in.  This week could could be a great week for you.

Pelana — Mon, 04/19/2010 - 09:00

Indeed it could be great, it would mean no more 5 am Saturday GKPs! Those Chinese have the most intense GKPs ever.

I will be on if you need me.

Boann — Sun, 04/18/2010 - 15:51

Gares and I are in Oregon, and we like to get out on the weekends. Maybe, if you live some place in the Willamette Valley or near there abouts, we could get together with some other guildies for a beer, and get to know you out of game.

Pelana — Mon, 04/19/2010 - 10:38

Well isn't that awesome, so do I. Is this something that just happened by chance or was the guild started by people that knew each other? Keep Portland weird right? That bumper sticker is everywhere.

The only thing we need to do to keep Portland, weird. Is keep the DEA, out of downtown ;p. Take that San Francisco!

Awesome!

Boann — Mon, 04/19/2010 - 12:18

Gares and I are living down in Albany atm, but we love going to Portland. I'll see if I can catch you in game and work on hammering out some details.

Yeah we kicked ass today. I was surprised how much everyone retained from the last two weeks. Almost made the raid too short!

Hello sir or madam, and

Aidin — Fri, 04/16/2010 - 08:03

Hello sir or madam, and welcome to the Downfall recruitment process. If you fancy a quick invite, have thin skin, or like purps over people then don't waste your time reading what follows, just press on now.  If you are a skilled player, or even a player in need of a little molding, and you have time to dedicate to dead bosses, and to a community of people that do more together then play a video game, then here's a few things for you.

Recruitment Process

Step 1 Application : Well you've already completed this step by taking the time to complete our lengthy application.  Some think it's silly, we have documented proof that it easily weeds out the douchebags before wasting too much of our time.

Step 2 Who are you? : Type /join dfrecruit in game.  This will put you in our global chat channel for recruits.  You'll find lots of Downfall members in that channel often shouting for people for random heroics.  This will get your name out there, let people get to know you.  The more people you get to know, the more people will begin to comment on your application, and thus keep it "alive"

Until you start to get comments from those who excel in your class, or those who have nice/not so nice things to say about you as they get to know you, it's up to YOU to keep your application active, it's not just a matter of posting and never coming back, we are a website oriented guild, get used to using it.

Step 3 Raid Tryouts :  Raid : mAlt opens up 3 slots each Sunday for raid performance tests.  We parse these events and can see you in action before we bring you into a 25 man progession raid.  For more info on mAlt and raid times/sign ups: /raidgroup/malt

Step 4 Be There : Be online during 25 man progression raid times, its even better if you're on from start to finish, since people will DC mid raid.  If you're apping to raid, it's a long and grueling process.  We DO need consistant skilled players for both 25 man raids, and you're not the only person trying to get that spot.  What we like to see is our apps posting on the raid events that they are available to fill in on a given night.  Then if you've posted that you're going to be on that night, make sure to shout our a reminder in dfrecruit just as raid is about to start just to let us know you're on. It may be weeks, it may be months before you see action, but you may end up with a spot the first time you join the recruit channel. 

We have TWO 25 man progression raids:
Raid : Kitten Brigade /raidgroup/kitten-brigade   Mon - Wed 6:30 - 10:00
Raid : Salmon /raidgroup/salmon   Tue - Thu  6:00 - 9:00

Well that's what you can expect for the next few weeks/months.  We've had applicants that have waited over 3 months for an invite, we've invited people within a few days, every situation is different. So get you're name out there, get some comments, and good luck to you!
