Application - Smarty

1. real name/in game name

Fran/Mister Smartypants. I prefer being called Smarty in game.

2. Location and time zone(tell in GMT)

England, so, GMT wintertime BST summertime.

3. characters(professions)

11 PvE characters, 2 perma PvP and 1 rerollable PvP characters.

PvE characters of note are Mister Smartypants (mes, main/title character), Jarek Durant (para), No Miracles Today (monk), Unity In Duality (sin, currently taking him through GW:EN so I can try VS farming from the perma side), Lucas Silveira (necro, current survivor attempt), and Antonia Corvinia (war, permapre lvl 11 and not really counting cos I want company across the wall waaaaahhh). Rest (rit, ele, derv, war, ranger) became mules after HM and title grind was added to the game.

PvP characters are Harmony Crystal (ele) and I Be A Pirate Yarr (ranger, god help me - I suck at ranger in PvP but he looks great ).

4. main character&maxed titles on him/her

Smarty currently has 13/30 titles maxed and is close to maxing another 5.

5. Your experience with high end areas in GW/elite missions/dungeons and overall HM

Hard mode is something I've done on and off, mainly with ex-guildies and people from my friends list when someone wants an extra person along, sometimes with hero/hench. I've not done it consistently enough to consider myself experienced, and I haven't got all my HM titles yet, but I'm not a liability. Similarly with high end areas and dungeons (with the odd exception such as CoF and VS farm runs, which I've done a lot). My current guild started doing DoA runs but there weren't enough people interested in doing it regularly, so I have a little experience of doing cryway there but not much. I've completed FoW a couple of times; Underworld, The Deep, Urgoz Warren and Sorrow's Furnace once each, mainly due to lack of regular company; haven't tried Tombs yet because my ranger is still a survivor.

6. Your current goals in GW and What are you doing most of the time when you are on GW ?

Current goals are to get GWAMM on Smarty, get legendary survivor with my necro, and get my sin through GW:EN. I spend most of my time ABing. Yes, my goals and my time spent do not match.

7. Your past guild experiences and what guilds have you been in?

Spent most of my time in my own family/friends guild. Everyone but me has now quit GW, though. Have tried a couple of other guilds since, but have had problems with time/event incompatibility and guild inactivity. I'm really looking for an active guild that does organised hard mode events on a regular basis that doesn't always start them while my youngest children are still awake (ie after 8pm GMT).

Past guilds other than my own are:
Guild Nirvana [GN] (Hi Missy!!!)
MARA
Spirit and Sanctuary [SaS]/Lost in the [Mist] alliance

8. TS/vent + micro?

Got both. Mic only seems to work with TS for some reason though.

9. PvE, PvP or both?

I used to think both; however, I've recently come to the conclusion that I suck at all forms of PvP other than AB, so unless it's a very well organised guild event, or a good friend off my friends list inviting me, I'm PvE + AB all the way.

10. Any notable achievements you achieved or you\'re proud of?

I'm proud of every title I've achieved on Smarty. I can't think of anything remarkable I've achieved in game, though.

11. Describe yourself as player

A talkative perfectionist.

12. Tell us more about yourself as person

Married with three kids, oldest of whom plays GW underage. Addicted to GW. Yes, I'm a bad parent.

13. Age & gender

38 year old female.

14. Why do you want to join and how can yu contribute to guild?

I'm looking for a large, organised, PvE guild that I can do plenty of HM with during GW's lifetime and hopefully stay with into GW2. I'm hoping for company whilst title chasing myself and would like to help others get their titles when I'm finished. I've been through the main GW storyline so many times in NM that I'd like to mix it up with organised guild outings to elite areas, to help keep the game fresh and to have something to aim for besides title completion and ofc to make some money along the way. I can contribute many hours of playtime to these sorts of guild activities.

15. Account and characters age(just post total account age in months + age of all characters in hours together)

I'll preface this horrendous number by saying I turn GW on in the morning and rarely turn it off before bedtime, but I spend several hours afk completely and several more using the game as a chat room while I intermittently afk for family reasons, so these are hours logged on to game rather than hours actually played: 6369 hours over 30 months.

16. Forum - would you use and check forum regulary if you were part of [GoDT]?

Use - depends if I have anything meaningful or silly to contribute; check - several times a day guaranteed.

17. Where/how did you find out about [GoDT]?

Thread on guru.

18. optional: guru name

Mister Smartypants.


In closing I'd like to say thanks for reading through my ramblings, and request that if you don't think I'd fit in because of relative HM inexperience or time preferences then please reject me now as I'd much rather not join and then leave again a month later due to incompatibilities. Hopefully you'll think I'd be a good fit, though.

do you think every1 here has all hm titles? - no

6369 hours over 30 months

you played allmost double of what i've played in 1 year shorter time
don't call yourself inexp

i'd just accept you for the very nice filled in app


/yes

I think we were on the same AB team not too long ago, and if I recall correctly, you were at the very lest semi decent. I can't really make a proper judgement after a round or two anyway. And I didn't save the build you used , so that's another good sign.

The application looks ok too.

I can really relate to that, as i have 2 kids as well. So how could i possibly say no?
Besides i really like your application and from what i have read, i wouldn't say you're inexperienced.

/yes here!

Enjoyed reading that app (as boring as that sounds), she seems a fun and experienced player and 11 slots ! thats what i call addicted.........../yes from me

Our good, filled applications are coming back. Although, Missy isn't here anymore. I wonder if she still checks our forums once a while...
Yes from me.

Yee, cant reject for any reason

Thankyou all. If you do decide to invite me, please let me know in advance as I'll have to leave my current guild before you can. (My guild leader knows I'm planning on leaving due to the inactivity, I'm just sticking around cos I want access to ABs and don't want constant recruiting whispers, plus those that are active are nice folks.)

@ JKB: Yeah I thought the tag sounded familiar from AB when I saw the ad on guru. I can't remember anything one way or the other about whoever it was I partied with and unless you were a WoH dagger monk () I didn't save your build either, so it's all good from this end too.

ok, contact me or an officer in game to get invite
