I guess the only thing that

garreth — Fri, 06/27/2008 - 12:42

I guess the only thing that has really held me back from ginviting is that i can't really get a standing schedule from Crazy on when he will or will not be online. We need people in that we can count on. Whether that means they always show up to raid or at least have a consistent set of days that they log in, we need people where we can say "This guy WILL be online at this time."

Crazy's schedule doesn't really permit this but he's a great, great mage. I think it's time as well. Is there anyway we can get a schedule from him on when we can count on him?

Garreth.. i know that my

Crazytexan — Fri, 06/27/2008 - 17:17

Garreth.. i know that my schedule is a problem, but my wife is a nurse.. so her nights she works are different every week.. EVERY WEEK..sometimes im on 3 days in a row.. sometimes not.. couple that with me being a fulltime student and ya.. Im sorry but i cant commit to any type of schedule, and i know thats a HUGE turn off for you, but that has been my situation for the last 6 months and i dont seet that changing anytime soon. All i can committ to is that WHEN im online... i do my best to be available incase yall need me, as was the case in hyjal the other night... which i might add was hella fun.

 

I know that it is kinda crappy that i cant devote to a raid schedule which id like to, but i would still like to be a part of what yall got going.... whether thats 5 man, 10 man. 25's etc. when i can, but i understand with your guild size that you dont just want to take people who will sit in guild and have it not known if they will be on tongith or not...

 

LIke i said, when im on i would do my best to help the guild, whatever that is... but im sorry i cannot provide a solid schedule for yall, my life just doesnt permit it right now.

 

thanks for the support from everyone, and I'll understand if you decide to not invite me because of my schedule... EITHER way ive had a blast running with yall, and i hope this isnt the end of my LONGGGGGGG app process

I'm with Dufe on this

Aidin — Fri, 06/27/2008 - 12:36

I'm with Dufe on this one...I believe the only draw back to crazy right now is the fact that he is NOT in guild..and is torn between raid with his current guild and raid with us. Getting him in solves that issue.

My 2 cents + Dufe's 2 cents almost = a quarter to call someone who cares! GINVITE THIS LOOOOOOOOOOONG STANDING APP ALREADY! lol

Bumping again - I think

Dufe — Fri, 06/27/2008 - 11:56

Bumping again - I think we've covered the reasons for Texan's not always being 100% available.  Plus it seems like we've wanted him to be on standby for us almost constantly for the 2.5 months he's been apped.  He's been working on his gear VERY hard and reading up on mage TC.  I say we just ginvite already.  I've talked to him alot in pst's over the LONG app period and his attitude is top-notch.

We were beginning to wonder

Aidin — Fri, 05/30/2008 - 05:23

We were beginning to wonder if you were still interested, haven't seen you on the site in a while, and we have been unsuccessful trying to get you into raids. LF1M came looking for you on several occasions, but you weren't available to roll with us. There are a couple of other mage apps yes, they've gotten into raids, and gotten their names out there. You've had lots of supporters that have done their best to include you in raid events, are you finding it difficult to accept raid invites due to your current guild?

Crazytexan — Fri, 05/30/2008 - 01:23

sup guys. I kinds let this thread die cause from what i understood there was a little confusion on getting another mage in the guild. As that i ttried to make the best of the  shitty guild i was in. well as of last night im a free agent looking to score some 5-10 mans like we talked about before...opinions/critisicms welcome

Ananaras has told me good

Grasen — Fri, 05/30/2008 - 05:58

Ananaras has told me good things about you and is supportive in you gitting in Downfall. That goes a long way with me. We need to see the desire from you though. While I understand you were trying to help them along and respect keeping your raid priority with the guild you are currentally in it makes it really hard for us to evaluate you. Be here sat and ready to rock. I'll git you in. Lets see what you got. Come fully prepared with 2 flasks buff foods and all that good stuff.

Bump.  I think Crazy has

Dufe — Thu, 05/08/2008 - 16:59

Bump.  I think Crazy has had a great attitude and has been apped for quite some time.  He's said he's fine if he doesn't have a raid spot right away, and would love to just be around to help with for 5 and 10mans.  I'd say lets close the app and get him in.

Grasen's picture

Agreed Dufe.   Lets git

Grasen — Fri, 05/09/2008 - 08:00

Agreed Dufe.   Lets git this guy on over.

Thanks gar. ya i think that

Crazytexan — Tue, 04/29/2008 - 09:31

Thanks gar. ya i think that once i get a little more comfortable with the fights my dps will increase, but then again it wouldnt have hurt for me to be spending most of my time AoE'ing instead of single target... knowin that i will be checkin into some theorycraft and looking into altering my spec slightly for more of a AoE dmg than single target as well as lookin to push my mana pool past 12k....~900 more mana... Thanks again for the chance to run with yall.. I honestly had a blast, and look foward to more.

Crazy did great in LF1M's

garreth — Mon, 04/28/2008 - 11:07

Crazy did great in LF1M's Hyjal on Saturday.  Needs a little work to maximize output, but probably more to do with unfamiliarity of the fights than anything else.

What up Crazy!  I see you

Aidin — Thu, 04/24/2008 - 12:31

What up Crazy!  I see you online!  When we gonna snag this cat up?  WTB mage plx!

Well I appreciate the bump

Crazytexan — Tue, 04/22/2008 - 17:09

Well I appreciate the bump Nell... I completly understand the "designated 5-10man runner". Im just goin to try and tie up some loose ends and I look foward to being part of the Downfall Team

garreth's picture

Yeah, I think we all like

garreth — Tue, 04/22/2008 - 15:38

Yeah, I think we all like Texan and it's obvoius he's been working his ass off for his gear.

I just have to make sure we have SOMETHING for him to do once in.  We have to ride the very careful line between "lots of cool people in guild" and "lots of people who actually have something to do."

If Crazy is fine with being "Designated 5 & 10-man Runner" for a few months, he may just have a home with us.

I can add a bit of personal

Nellem1 — Tue, 04/22/2008 - 15:13

I can add a bit of personal insight. i was in Insurrection with Texan, he's quite the player. Ive had the oppourtunity to run everything from a 5-man blah Mech (or even lower) to SSC/TK. He's got a lot of skills as a person and a raider, and he would offer a lot to DF, imho. He's always been one of the top DPSers in Insurrection, so he would fit in no problems.

 If i could put a very large check next to Yes for his app, i would ;).

 

 

 

what doesnt die right away, will always have my ticking on their mind.

Bumping this app again since

garreth — Thu, 04/17/2008 - 09:11

Bumping this app again since there's been so much new content on the site lately.

Anyone have a chance to run with him in anything?  Crazy, I'm going to be running some nice, relaxing, good-old-fashioned 5-mans on Saturday evening at about 7pm to help out some friends, are you interested in coming?  Click the "Signup" button here: /node/1809

Dufe — Wed, 04/16/2008 - 02:34

Just talked to Crazy in game a bit.  Anyone who's interested in running H MrT should keep an eye out for him and grab him if he's online.

Grasen's picture

I use a stock ui

Grasen — Mon, 04/14/2008 - 17:16

I use a stock ui myself.    Garreth would cry if he saw my ui.  Honestally   i think this guys char name alone should = instant ginvite but we have to be reilistic.   This guild is ran by a bunch of guys in washington state of all places.  They just dont git it.

ahhh the good ole' split in

Aidin — Mon, 04/14/2008 - 14:54

ahhh the good ole' split in the ranks...Nothing's been right since Fizzy left.  Dyrk tbh is a douchebag....not leaving the guild to Ananaras was the biggest mistake that Fizzy ever made.

I know it sounds lame...but let's try to get you into some Kara's or ZA's.  Let you show your stuff and get to know the rest of Downfall.  Most of us are just as cool if not cooler then Garreth..muahhahhaa... (i r cooler)

I'll add you to friends tonight on my toons!
