General Questions

Which days are you available for organized guild events? (Raids, RBGs, etc):

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

Which addons do you consider essential and why?:

i cant get enough mods, its fun to tinker with the random things people have made and i have come rely on them to know exactly whats going on in any situation, if you don't have mods, in a sense your just a dead weight to your fellow raiders, atm i dont have all my mods full operational so my UI may be missing some things. (i just redid it again)

PvE

Raid Experience:

Well, i didn't do very much pre-BC, only some MC bosses on my druid where i would heal and decurse.
As for BC, i have done everything up to mag, all of BT, all of Hyjal but never downed archi, all of SSC but never downed Vashj, all of TK but never downed Kael, as you can see MALICE had a big problem on last bosses, it was they were to stupid to go in and give them solid attempts, good reason i'm switching servers.... and allegiance. I did BT with a different guild, I won some contest made by the best guild on firetree, and the prize was a trip through BT, i did it for my guild so someone would have know it first hand and we weren't charging in blind. For all of this i was a tank on trash, dps on bosses unless needing more tanks.

Personal

What timezone are you in?:

Colorado

Tell us a little about yourself.:

Names Nathan Hajj, also know was nate, hajieb, and abominable froman, I'm a compleet an total nerd, love playing chess, and various board games from who knows where. Watch anime, comedy central, currently going to college majored in electrical engineering. Favorite food is shrimp, love to cook, collect swords, and dragons(pictures and statues), though my favorite statue is of an eagle who is always staring at the entrance to my room. Don't usually drink but all my friends love to party to hell. Beer pong is fun, kings cup is fun, but beer tastes like shit. Have never smoked/used drugs. I used to have a really big fro. And thats about all the comes to mind really.

So yeah, I'am home now. You

So yeah, I'am home now. You have all heard me talk about my horde druid friend who calls himself a "Horny pussy" because the horde cat form has horns.... this is him (note his signature lol). He is the only white guy I know that has an a fro, or had one. Its a shame he cut it off. The truffle shuffle with his fro was entertaining. He gets his hair from being half Lebanese, or half terrorist. Which ever you prefer lol.

On top of being a good friend he also happens to be one of the best feral druids I know. As for changing my password, nah the Nazis will smite you down before you stood a chance to do something like that :P

Thank you for your

Thank you for your application to Downfall. We are not currently recruiting for our 25 man MH/BT/SW raids. This does not mean that your application is or will be rejected. What it does mean, is that you will now be faced with a few tasks.

Downfall is a community first and foremost and a successful raiding guild second. First you need to ask yourself what it is you want from Downfall. If it's a spot in end game raid, and nothing more...then you may want to seek entry into another one of the many guilds on Gorgonnash.

If you desire a strong sense of community then get ready to work for it! When we talk about community, we aren't talking about the type of community that jumps when you say OMGRUNMYALTTHRUVC!!!! We're talking about a group for people who love this game we pour our lives into, people who will run things with you when they have time, people who may have their own special way of contributing to the community.

Now that you have applied (and if my wall of text didn't lose u 2 paragraphs ago), don't just sit there and hope someone will come hunt you down and say "HERE'S YOUR INVITE!!" because that simply will not happen. Those who gain entry into Downfall work for it. Members have waited upwards of 3 months or more to be part of our community. How do you ensure that you have every option to be the next addition?

Here's an idea:

Stay active on this thread, it's your application. You will receive feedback and recommendations. Don't take anything personal, if you can't take constructive criticism, you will never make it in guild chat. Applications are open to the entire community, not just officers, so if you were a douche to a member in the past, be ready for it to bite you in the ass.
If given goals to meet, make them.
Sign up for events you can make and which you are geared for. No need to sign up for MH/BT/SW, as those aren't testing grounds for new members. Focus on the Sunday Gruul/Mag run by yours truly or the Saturday SSC/TK run by Grasen. (of course ding 70 first...lol)
If you sign up...show up. No one likes an app who signs up for all raids and never shows. Be sure to send a tell to the raid leader so he/she knows you are available and ready to rock.
Download the raid pack. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT show up to a Gruul/Mag or SSC/TK without our required add ons. If you do not understand what you are looking at, then research it. If you still don't understand, post you're question and someone will help you. (If you think only bad players use mods, we can say our goodbyes right now)
Do everything you can to get your name out there, and show why you should be part of our community. Run 5 mans, Run 10 mans, participate in forum discussions.

If and when you are accepted into Downfall, you are strictly on a trial basis. If we invite you because you convinced us you were the worlds greatest healer/tank/random dps class, and you looooooooooove to run 5 mans...but you never run a thing, you never sign up for fun runs, and you burn out and don't sign on for 1+ months, don't be surprised if you find yourself guildless on log in one day.

It's very simple, don't say what we want to hear just to get in, because it will haunt you in the end. Be honest, and we will be fair.

With that said....GOOD LUCK ON YOUR APPLICATION!
