1. real name/in game name
Russell - Ele Hootmalist (this will be changed in GW2 hopefully it's a crap name)
2. Location and time zone(tell in GMT)
Sheffield, time zone as dictated by Her Majesty the Queen
3. characters(professions)
Ele Hootmalist - erm...... it's an Ele, with the shortest skirt available in the game (trust me I have checked this)
Hoot of Ill Repute - Assassin and we dont get on well.
Hoot the Mez - can you guess what it is yet?
Hoot the Pacifist - not a Pacifist she keeps on shooting arrows at at people. 2nd main Character
Hoot the Shaven - a yellow Dervish with a Vabbian boob-tube.
Inca Hoots - a level 6 Necro who is on for the Survivor title just as soon as I get round to it.
Paragon Hoot - enough said.
4. main character&maxed titles on him/her
Ele Hootmalist - 23 titles at present. Dzagonur Bastion and Gate of Pain away from 24 titles, 8 Tyrian HM missions away from 26 titles then the expensive ones kick in to get to GWAMM
5. Your experience with high end areas in GW/elite missions/dungeons and overall HM
I dont yet have Underworld in my HoM, otherwise got them all.
6. Your current goals in GW and What are you doing most of the time when you are on GW ?
Legendary Guardian to get me to 26 titles. Then farm like buggery to make cash to get any of the following...... 7500 Unids, 9900 party / pissed-up / sweet tooth points. 5m away from Kurzick title and r3 Lucky / Unlucky at the moment. Often found in Kamadan in the quiet moments trying to sell totem axes for 6k apiece or trying to spot a bargain. A recent bargain was selling an Ebon Scythe Snathe for 30k (I have the screenshot it still makes me laugh). I don't barter and like to charge a premium price for my wares. Some say it is unfair, but it is not if the other person accepts my offer as it is ultimately their choice.
7. Your past guild experiences and what guilds have you been in?
Been in a guild with Noxious Onyx for the best part of 3 years or so on various games, and in GW for 15 months. Current guild only ever had a maximum of 9 people online at any time and this has dwindled markedly. Therefore, as with Onyx (and I cannot believe you accepted him, since it is well known he has 7 ears, 4 legs, 3 arms and rickets), I humbly request to be welcomed.
8. TS/vent + micro?
Yep
9. PvE, PvP or both?
I have 1 hero point.
10. Any notable achievements you achieved or you\'re proud of?
Particularly proud of discovering Arcane Echo allowed me to cast Savannah Heat not once, but TWICE in the same Nuke.
11. Describe yourself as player
Opinion is divided on this one. Some would say I am a hard-bargaining, one dimensional, risibly small-time Ele. I think this is unfair. I charge prices people are prepared to pay, actually used a Water build once when going for Masters on Moddok Crevice and there is nothing small-time about someone who turned down 100k +95e for a q9 Volty 8 months ago because I thought it would look nice on Hayda. I have also died 6055 times.
12. Tell us more about yourself as person
I am 33 and eleven twelfths (OK 34 next month). I have a good lady and a 14 month old kid who is too young to drive. I am a generally affable kind of chap, in my opinion, although to be quite frank it is other people who will tell me about myself as a person and not me. There are too many people out there who think they are something they are not. Others will be my judge.
13. Age & gender
33 and a, ahem, bit. Not a lesbian (just in case you are getting any ideas following my previous reply).
14. Why do you want to join and how can yu contribute to guild?
Referred by existing friends is the strongest reason, but the guild I apply to must be right. You are numerous in presence, will have people at a lesser stage than me and have others like my 7-eared friend who are much further on than me. This gives me the chance to elicit help from others who share the same goals, allows me to help those who need a Savannah Heat specialist within their ranks and also allows me to do what I really enjoy, which is bugger about in Elite Areas without waiting for the planets to align and all Guild Members are online at the same time with the same agenda and the same available free time.
15. Account and characters age(just post total account age in months + age of all characters in hours together)
Ele Hootmalist age 15 months, total account time 3,673 hours - JESUS!!!!!
16. Forum - would you use and check forum regulary if you were part of [GoDT]?
It will go straight into my bookmarks the moment you accept me. I work for an ISP so I am not offline much unless the kid is vomiting.
17. Where/how did you find out about [GoDT]?
Referred by another new member to the guild.
18. optional: guru name
same as IGN
Thanks for you consideration.
