Furren has been showing up

Torvo — Sun, 10/12/2008 - 12:47

Furren has been showing up to !!1 raids and making a great showing for himself. After yesterday's run in which we had a full clear in under 4 hours with only 2 wipes (Prince, bad infernals, meh) I'd be fine throwing everyone who was there my recommendation. But what makes Furren stand out is his consistency and dependability. Not just showing up, but knowing exactly what you will get out of him when he shows up.

"Now that you have applied (and if my wall of text didn't lose u 2 paragraphs ago),..."

I think I lost you. See the 2nd post on your app.

"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."

...although the nights have swapped.

Furren — Sat, 09/20/2008 - 17:30

So I'm kinda curious as to what I could be doing to get this app process going.  Adoron told me that I should be makin myself known and sign up for malt runs and stuff, but is there anymore I could be doing? And which raids should I apply to that would allow an app. to get in?

Thank you for your

Aidin — Wed, 09/17/2008 - 05:42

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.
  • If you sign up...show up. No one likes an app who signs up for all raids and never shows.
  • 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!

I certainly, certainly

Adoron (not verified) — Wed, 09/17/2008 - 00:24

I certainly, certainly approve.

 He's a great guy, really, and he surely won't be starting any problems for any of you.  He's along for the ride for having a good time above all else (as well as meeting new people and such, but that's expected).

 

Let 'im in! =)
