Priest — Thu, 01/15/2009 - 23:16

Stopping by to say that I am (in whatever way possible) retracting my guild App.

Not that you guys did anything wrong. Hell, you're Downfall and what not. Just that I'm not sure how long I will be playing WoW for and I more or less want to see 25 man content before something happens and I am forced to quit.

Good luck in whatever you guys do and grats on 3D.

I have it. Been chilling in there a few days now.

Just caught Standfirm in

Cdhabro — Wed, 12/31/2008 - 17:41

Just caught Standfirm in dfrecruit- seemed compitent in heroic CoT-strat... missed the mount by 90k but that was more dps- not delays for healer mana.

Didn't get a lot of time to talk during the run but chatted for a bit after finishing and he seemed cool.

Just a little heads up to

Priest — Fri, 01/02/2009 - 13:15

Just a little heads up to anyone who may be wondering where I am after tomorrow...not home.

Going away tomorrow until the following Saturday. I will be spending a week in Philadelphia with some friends and no access to WoW

Philly is where fun goes to

garreth — Fri, 01/02/2009 - 14:32

Philly is where fun goes to die.

Just wanted to say I'm back

Priest — Sun, 01/11/2009 - 14:50

Just wanted to say I'm back in town and ready to start healing things to death. :D

We have two established

Katibug — Sat, 12/27/2008 - 15:58

We have two established 25-man raids right now; Kitten Brigade and Salmon. We have tried to establish these raids as "My raid attendance will be 100%, 100% of the time." We occasionally need fillins, but we can't guarantee you a permanent 25-man raid spot. Will that be a problem?

We DO however have quite a few people in guild, and lots of people want to raid the 10-mans. Would 10-mans be acceptable for you?

Tens? Yeah, I see no problem

Priest — Sat, 12/27/2008 - 16:37

Tens? Yeah, I see no problem with that at all.

Hello. How are you planning

jaibyrd — Fri, 12/26/2008 - 20:59

Hello. How are you planning to treat the DF members that are computer beginners but enjoy playing WOW?

With the same respect I would

Priest — Sat, 12/27/2008 - 14:01

With the same respect I would treat any other Downfall members Please don't get me wrong, I'm not a terrible guy. Sure, I can tell it like it is when I have to but Best Buy had just pushed me to the brink. They treat every one like shit and I have had higher ups say strait up to my face "If you don't like it, leave."

Welcome to the DF Forums! I

Ardea — Fri, 12/26/2008 - 08:12

Welcome to the DF Forums! I just have a few questions.

1. How did you lose two accounts?

2. Why is your forum name "Priest" when you are a Paladin named Standfirm?

3. (Personal Curiosity) I see you started this character around July 2008. Here is your guild activity:

Lvl	Guild	Survey Date
80	Fatal Distraction	Dec 07, 08
80	I Redemption I	Nov 28, 08
79	I Redemption I	Nov 23, 08
78	I Redemption I	Nov 22, 08
75	I Redemption I	Nov 18, 08
74	I Redemption I	Nov 17, 08
71	Fatal Distraction	Nov 13, 08
70	Fatal Distraction	Nov 07, 08
70	Natural Selection	Oct 19, 08
63	Natural Selection	Oct 06, 08

3a. Why did you leave Redemption? I am guessing that Fatal Distraction is your friend's guild... I noticed that there are only 11x lvl 80 and only one is spected healing.

3b. After hanging out and raiding with us are you going to return to you RL friends?

4. Why are you not working at Best Buy anymore? :)

Good luck on your application!!

1- Lost the first one for

Priest — Fri, 12/26/2008 - 08:53

1- Lost the first one for impersonating GMs(what people will believe, oh lord) and had the second stolen from me by some one I made the mistake of trusting.

2- Come from my obsession with theology and the power of "The word of God" from a mans mouth. I'm not a religious person(I'm not an atheist either) but I think there is no more powerful force in this universe than blind zealous faith. After all the debates and arguments in high school people just started calling me "The Priest".

3a- Their 25 man raid times coupled with the fact that I could never find myself a 10 man inside the guild with out it being an hour before I had to go to work never allowed me to sleep more than two hours a night and still raid.

3b- No, I never plan to return to FD or NS again. Both where just dick-around guilds that I stayed in to help them/keep myself from getting random guild invites. I would love for Downfall to be the last guild I ever join on this server.

4- I use to be the Manager of the Local Geek Squad. Customer came to me with an Nvidia 8800GTX back when it was top dog asking if it would help his AOL run faster. I asked him if he was a "full blown retard".

Likey. A lot. Also, this is

garreth — Fri, 12/26/2008 - 03:47

Likey. A lot. Also, this is the first app I've read from top to bottom in a long time.

Let's get you familiar with Grid stat and get you into the dfrecruit channel. Get in on some heroics with us.

I love healers that love to heal. It seems like that's something you have a passion for and Downfall needs those sorts of people.

I do have to apologize strait

Priest — Fri, 12/26/2008 - 08:10

I do have to apologize strait up about some grammar and spelling errors in my application here. I was super fucking nervous writing this thing out last night TRYING not to look like a dolt. It would seem all I did was help further that point, eh?

I do in fact love healing. Let's see. 60 Paladin, 57 Paladin, 70 Paladin and this here 80 Paladin. All Holy. Either I love healing or I'm a masochist.

On Grid. It was something I tried a week or so back because an old "friend"(Josalin...heheh) use to rave about it. Hell, I think it is still installed but I just did not know much about it our what to configure right away. As you can see in my screen shot this led me to not turning back on and using it. Any guidance/tips would be greatly appreciated.

At least you didn't use "Pwn"

Ardea — Fri, 12/26/2008 - 08:18

At least you didn't use "Pwn" in your name... that's a bonus.
