What are your 'turn offs' as far as guilds are concerned?

Dictatorial GMs and Officers who appear to be supplementing their RL inadequacies for in game power and authority. In other words grubby little bullies.
I have no time for them.
There are many guilds on the server... what brought you to War Machine?

Two good friends I know out in the world (Vialdrain and Choco), and on advice from Vialdrain, this guild is focussed on the social aspect and that is where my head is now. I no longer have any desire for world 1sts and server 1sts, I am happy to enjoy the game and have fun with other people.

What do you feel you provide that makes you a good member?

I’m always around to lend a hand and have a laugh and poke fun at Choco and Vialdrain.

S/Shot of UI

You should be invited for this reason alone

[Vial]

Hey ... what the!!!



Poking fun at Choco I understand, after all it is a national pass time.

[choco]

You people are so quick! Obi is a dictatorial, bossy, over-achieving, loud mouthed, egotistical, arrogant bully. I would highly recommend that you recruit him IMMEDIATELY so that I can give him a FIRM dressing down!

On a serious note....this guy is a true legend in WoW, and it does not surprise me that he has come here after so many years at the top of the game. You will not be sorry to have Obi on the team.

[obe]

Eeek!!! /castsequence blush, vanish

Holy Nova Choc, feel free to dress me down when it is me who stands in fire and not you lol.
Remember when you look long into the abyss, you will find me at the bottom starin right back at ya
And no I am not a legend I am just a naughty boy lol.

You'll be pleased to know that Holy Nova is now a recommended spell to spam by Disc Priests at times of intense melee damage. But I agree, you ARE a very naughty boy!

So how's the new job?

[obe]

Hey Choc,

I haven't heard from anyone so I guess there is no interest in having another pally in the guild. I'll keep in touch with you and Vial via emails.

Folks please consider my application withdrawn. I wish you all the very best in this expansion.

Kind Regards

Obi.

[treeline]

Sorry no one has been in touch with you Obe, our recruitment/guild master works these days apparently and has obviously not noticed applications on our website.

On another note 3 days is not that long to not hear anything, try contacting Dakhan or Bannox or even me and i am sure an interview can be arranged.

Btw i like your application and where your mind set is now, it reflects this guild or past raiders.

I can just see you now, tapping your foot impatiently! The reason this guild is still going strong is that we carefully screen each applicant, to ensure they "fit in." You already have our endorsement, but the recruitment process can take a little longer than you are used to. Be patient, contact the above officers, you won't be sorry.

[treeline]

Just noticed Perth hey, we could be neighbours Not many Perthsters here. +1 just for that

[obe]

Hey all,

I had a quick chat with Bannox who advised me someone will be in contact. So please consider my application resurrected.

OK Choc - 'Fingers away from the keyboard! Do it now!

Sorry folks Choc has a baad habit of picking up on words and phrases ie resurrected and running with them.
Sadly,  its like running with scissors. So for Choc's safety and the safety of others, I requested he move his happy lil sausage fingers away from he keyboard.

Treeline, Unfortunately I wont be living in Perth for much longer (Magnificent city BTW) I am moving to Adelaide to a new role at the end of next month.

[Dakhan]

After a conversation with Obi we've come to the conclusion that the guild won't be the right fit for him at this point. Thanks for applying, Obi.

[obe]

After speaking with Dakhan I no longer wish to join War Machine. Thank you for your time, but I log on to enjoy the game for it's social aspects.
Being the subject of a mandatory 30 minute formal interview where an appointment needs to be set up via mumble tastes a little to elitist for my blood.
I am sorry but I am just too embarrassed to type anything further.

[eiellith]

Good luck on your journey Obi.

Our officers may seem extreme from the point of view of someone who doesn't understand what the guild tries to do.

The guild is selective, not elitist. As you said in your app "this guild is focussed on the social aspect" which includes making sure we let the right people join us, I hope you understand this is where our officers are coming from with their interview.

Eie

[choco]

Oh, well, I'm sorry you feel that way OB. It would have been great raiding with you again. We'll see you in game anyway, mate.
