* Name: Meriltam
* Age: 18
* Class: Rogue (Combat, Sub OS for pvp.)
* Race: Night Elf
---------------------------------------------------

Internet Connection:
* How would you rate the stability of your connection?

* Internet Provider and Type?
--Comcast. I am not on a wireless, I have a straight cable to it.

---------------------------------------------------

Stats & Gear:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... n=Meriltam
(Please forgive me if I'm wearing PvP, I will try to keep it to Pve while this endures.)

* Do you have dual specialization, and are both of your specs pve?: Yes, and no. I am a rogue, so having both pve isn't necessary in most cases. However, I'll be glad to change it up by request.
* Do you have decent gear for your offspec?: Yes, the majority of my gear is from ICC and I have 4/5 T10.5 (5.8k GS)
* Do you have any interest in playing your offspec in the main raid should raid composition require it?: If the raid composition would require it, I'd gladly do a bit of respeccing.

--------------------------------------------------

Play Time Information:
* /played time?: Just on my rogue, I have 189 days. I've been here since the good ol' MC days.

* Average weekly play time on Bleeding Hollow ONLY?: If I havn't logged on at all during the day, something is wrong, and panicing is highly recommended. (Lol humor)

* Any current Twisted Guild members that might know you and would speak highly of you?: Dimitria I know very well, we've been through quite a bit together =P - Upon scanning /who of the guild, I discovered Postman was also in the guild, something I was not aware of O_o Same deal with him <3
Edit: OMG Julz is in the guild as well!? :O

--------------------------------------------------

Guild History:
Previous three Guilds (most recent first) and why you left or are leaving:
This includes any server transfer guilds.

[1] Insanity Reborn (Current Guild) - Well... they had a bit of bad luck and had to reform because of a bank ninja. There's only one group running 10 man, and they already have a dependable rogue.
[2] Curveball - Guild fell apart.
[3] Reverence - Same as above.

--------------------------------------------------

Supplemental Information:
Depending on the currently available raid content, scheduled raid times start at 8:00 EST on weeknights and end 11:30PM-12AM, Monday through Thursday.

* Availability Conflicts?: None

* Can you commit to the above schedule with minimal AFKs or distractions during raid times?: Of course, I can show up to every raid. Relationships always play a distraction in life, but I can give you my absolute minimum =P

* Raid spots are highly competitive, and you may not be guaranteed a raid spot every night, can you handle that?: Yeah, that's fine. I'm sure there's plenty of 10 mans going around in guild to keep me content, as long as I get my shot at Arthas.

* Do you turn your character with a mouse or keyboard?: Mouse LOL

* Do you have sole access to your account? If not, please list who else has access to your account.: Mine alone.

* Please give us an idea of your WotLK raid experience.: I'm sitting at 11/12 with 10man. I've cleared first wing in 25man(who hasn't?) and had experience with a few of the other bosses. Overall, I know all the fights.

* Do you have Ventrilo and a microphone?: Yes and yes.

*Why do you want to join Twisted, and why do you think you would fit into the guild?:
I am a core raider at heart, I take my content grinding seriously. I am playing this game to win, to have fun. Up till now, I hadn't had a very flexible schedule, thus having to deal with being cooped up in mediocre guilds. Now things have changed, and everything is back to normal as it should, and I want to get back into the game to earn that sense of accomplishment that comes with all the games we love. I have looked at other core guilds, and honestly couldn't see myself fitting in well in that sort of atmosphere. This is, and remains the only guild I have seriously applied for a very long time. I am bringing my A-game, but I also have a personality. I'd love to position myself around people I feel comfortable with, people I'd enjoy spending a duration of my raid time with. I feel twisted would be a place I could fit myself into comfortably. I have a huge sense of humor, I find myself hard to dislike... unless you find my friendliness overly annoying which could happen. Overall, I just like to have fun and bash my keyboard multiple times with my face just for the luls. I look forward to interacting with ya'll.

How did you figure out your gemming?

Meriltam · **Joined:** Sat Jul 10, 2010 1:18 am **Posts:** 11

Spreadsheet, and suggestion from another combat rogue. I think the spreadsheet changed to asking for AP, I need to redownload it and see.

Edit: Now that I think about it, anyone know how to update it for RS? The one from EJ.

You're gemming that way because of your trinket, because when it procs you have 1131 armor pen, which is close to the 1230 cap. Though I must say, I've never been a fan of hoping a trinket would proc when I needed it, they lead to annoying gaps in potential dps.

I won't turn down any suggestions if ya got 'em. =P
Just tryin' my best to optimize my stats.

I wasn't knocking you or anything, you're doing the best with what you've been given. I was just expressing my own personal distaste for those chance on hit things. Obviously with more ICC comes the chance at better trinkets and a total regem to ArP and whatnot.

Just posting my 2 cents. Meriltam is a failure rogue(but then again what rogue isnt?)... BUT he can disarm traps better than Spiffers, so thats gotta count for something right?

all jokes aside, I think he'd be someone worthwhile to look into.

-Sighs.- My account was hacked.

I just joined the fucking club meril.

My availability has switched up a bit because of a job. My schedule is pretty flexible as far as days go, but my shift usually leaves me available from 2PM-11PM. Some days I have to work the PM shift, which is usually on a Saturday.

I also don't mean to sound impatient when I ask, is my app not all that interesting or is recruitment busy/backed up? I'm in the dark on things, and my rogue hasn't seen any raid action for two or three weeks now, saving him for the event I'm needed to attend a trial raid =P

It's not that Meril, although spots (and even backup spots) are quite a bit filled out again now. But you got hacked, so a response was pending your retrieval of everything. I'll give it a look over and give you a response by the weekend. :]

Oh sorry, haha. Yeah, everything is back to as it should. In fact, I think I got things back that left my inventory a while before I even got hacked. o_o Thanks for the epic fast response, and I understand if you've filled up. =P Lookin' forward to see how things turn out.

Well, since I'm rarely on my rogue anymore - quite frankly, there's really not much I can do until I find a raiding guild - I think it'd probably be wise to mention my paladin's name, who I am quite frequently on.

Jordicus - I check my application everyday, so I don't know how necessary it is for me to give more in-game contacts, but there ya go.

Also - I'm booked for Saturday and Sunday, working the PM shift. Otherwise I have the week to do whatever.

kumori · **Posted:** Wed Aug 04, 2010 8:00 pm

Actually yes, thank you for posting this. I was looking for you yesterday and didn't see you. We've only got HM putri and regular LK left this week. Perhaps I'll be able to get you into an RS if there is a spot, otherwise, perhaps next week we can set something up. Thanks again for letting me know.

Meriltam · **Joined:** Sat Jul 10, 2010 1:18 am **Posts:** 11

Gotcha. I am available tomorrow (2PM-11PM) and Friday (2PM-12AM). As stated before, I am booked for Saturday and Sunday. Monday, I have no work at all or the day after. I'll have to check out next week's schedule, but about 90% of my availability is during Monday-Friday. =]

So depending on when you plan to do RS, I may or may not have to wait until next week. I havn't actually done RS, since I have been out-of-raid for quite some time now. I've went to Tankspot before this post, and watched all versions of the boss fight.

Day 31. If not too much to ask, can I please have a list of names of who I can talk to in-game about this? I am still in the dark on what is going on, and I havn't really gotten anything out of the forums, so I'd appreciate it if we made it an effort to bring this in-game. I'm not really clear on what day I should make myself available, how anyone plans to investigate me, what trials I should look forward to. No one is coordinating with me on what I should do, or what the status is of my application and it's rather depressing. It's Tuesday, and I'm really going to make an effort on this because I don't want to have to miss out on another week.

Sorry if I'm getting off on the wrong foot, I'm trying to be polite Dx
(Available all days and all times except for Thursday and Saturday, which I have work practically all day.)

Edit: Actually, is it possible to get in on a friend invite of some sort? That way, doing this would be a lot easier on everyone.

kumori · **Posted:** Wed Aug 11, 2010 6:09 pm

You're right, it's been pretty tough being able to get you into a raid for a proper trial, and I'm actually in the midst of a two week raiding break right now. I alerted the other officers under our officer forum about inviting you though for a proper trial in my absence if they were able to find a spot for you.

Trial for Meriltam was done last night Kumi, if you didn't hear from anyone else.
