Age: 39
Gender: M
Location: Kansas

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core 4200 2.2Ghz
4GB of ram
Win 7
Video: ATI Radeon HD 4650
I normally build my own computers and am currently acquiring parts for a six core system albeit slowly.

yes

Character Information
Describe your main spec and offspec, your experience with them, and what you use them for:
currently have frost and unholy specs.
currently using frost as MS unless there is already a frost dk in the raid then I will use unholy or if there are more ranged/fight is more ranged biased since ebon plague would help the raid more in those situations.

Armory link:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...ll&cn=Scrupiez

What are your professions and are they currently the best for your class for raiding?
Blacksmithing - extra socket/gloves/wrist
JC - 3 JC only gems
Per EJ forums these are the best 2 professions granting most dps for a DK atm.

In the future would you be willing to switch specs/professions/race/ect in the case that the best choice changed?:
of course - I have no problem swapping specs if the guild needs a certain buff or it proves more dps etc.

Frequently played alts (armory links):
Scruplez - mage http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...ll&cn=Scruplez

Guild History
Please list your current guild and prior guilds and why you left them:
have been in iniquity with my dk since wotlk.
was in celerity from kara to swp, then joined iniquity when celerity split.

Experience level
Wrath of the Lich King experience (Be specific with ICC and RS, mention any leadership or special roles)
I currently have 11/12 exp on my dk with attempts on LK and 5/12 HM exp, I do not have the RS25 but DO have RS10 ach - finding good pugs is a bitch.
My mage has 12/12 with 10/12 HM exp and RS25.
While my experience on my dk may seem lacking, I have done or attempted most HM's on my mage(better groups). I also assure you I step into place rather quickly and have always had high attendence, not to mention I take criticism pretty well.
I recently have gotten bored with being "casual" and pugging ICC/RS. wanted to start raiding again but do not see a raid spot with iniquity.

What is your raiding experience prior to Wrath of the Lich King(BT, Hyjal, Sunwell, Naxx40. ect):
My DK is limited to WOTLK raids as it was not avail to a DK.
but prior experience on my priest Pfft(arthas)/stuck at 64 lol.
MC40/BWL/AQ/Naxx40 - stopped playing at KT when guild was having trouble filling spots.
Started playing my mage at that point and played him through BC for Kara/SSC/BT/MH/SWP and into wotlk through 3/5 TOGC25 where I did not get along with a 2 of the officers and was continually sat so I opted to go casual and have pugged since then.

What WoW related websites do you visit (how often, for what info, etc.):
EJ forums - classes.talent calculators,chogall forums,bosskillers, tankspot, youtube for vids, various other sites that probably are not visited as much unless I find something useful on them.

Previous MMO Experience:
earth and beyond sunsetted
damn some planet game that was from sony cant remember been so long ago.

Other Video Games Played:
some xbox360 games but normally my son(15) is playing the xbox so i play on the computer

Name One Pet Peeve:
people leaving their goddamn shopping carts in the middle of the isle in a grocery store and wandering off for some shit! MOVE IT OUT OF THE WAY TARD!

Game Information/Notes
What do you play for/what are your goals in game?:
I play for content and socializing.
I love to kill bosses, gives me a feeling of team accomplishment.

How do you react to stress/criticism?:
stress:
I have a heart attack.
criticism:
i listen and determine if the opinion has merit, wether it is based on facts or heresay, and really you can only either try it or deny it, but without disproving criticism your pretty much worthless.

How do you deal with adversity (i.e. constantly wiping etc):
try to suggest ways to deal with the problem. wether they are tried or not makes no difference to me. Mainly try to resolve the issue rather than point fingers, ie. swapping healers/dps tanks whatever may change it up to get passed the problem.

Are you the original owner of your account?:
yep

When did you begin playing World of Warcraft?:
3rd beta

How long do you plan on playing WoW?
dunno, if i dont start raiding on a regular sch.

Are you able to make our raid times (Tues, Weds, Thurs 8:00 - 11:30PM CST) and how often do you play outside of those raid times?
shouldnt be a problem.
usually play every day after work unless im really f'n tired, at least do my dailies etc.

Is there anything in the near future that will prevent you from making our raid times?
nope.

Reliability in attendance is very important to us since we only have around 30 raiders, are you reliable?
have held 90%+ attendence in each raiding guild I raided with, doesnt make much sense to apply to a raiding guild if you cant attend their raid times.

Anything extra you would like to add(optional):
think i have said my peace.

Where did you hear about our guild(reference from a member, WoW forums, etc):
always known about DM but recently seen you were recruiting for a unholy dk on the forums.

(Optional) Tell us a joke:
how bout a real life story that is funny as hell.

was remodeling a friends basement with my father in law and son, we were putting up some walls to split up her basement. We would build the walls on the gound then stand them up and shoot them into the floor/ceiling. Well my father in law was putting the end of the wall together on the floor, Father in law is explaining to my son why you put two boards together on the end of the wall and tells him that its called a "sister" he then begins nailing them together and my son says "So, your uh nailin your sister?", thought i was going to literally die from laughing so hard.
Chip off the ole block imo.

Frequently played alts (armory links): I do not play alts

Mmochampion.com

Other Video Games Played: I play the random xbox games I own, but do so seldomly now. WOW is the only game I really play frequently.

Game Information/Notes
What do you play for/what are your goals in game?: I play to be the best. I am a very competitive person outside of game, playing many sports growing up, and it really translates to my in game playstyle. I do not like losing and I do my best to make sure I don�t.

How do you react to stress/criticism?: If I make a mistake I already know it. I am my own hardest critic, anything you say to me will not compare what I already feel.

How do you deal with adversity (i.e. constantly wiping etc): I log off� Jokes, guess I kinda just go with the flow. I hate admitting defeat so I can wipe on a boss for hours straight and not lose the drive to win.

How long do you plan on playing WoW? Until The Old Republic is released. So I guess late spring if everything goes as scheduled

Is there anything in the near future that will prevent you from making our raid times? Nothing foreseeable

Reliability in attendance is very important to us since we only have around 30 raiders, are you reliable? I attended 95% of the raids at Blood Council over the course of a year and a half. That makes me pretty reliable ;o

Anything extra you would like to add(optional): I like long walks on the beach and sunsets.

Where did you hear about our guild(reference from a member, WoW forums, etc): Well I�ve known about you guys since BC, but specifically I raided a 10 man with a group of DM�ers a couple of months ago and a couple of them told me that I should app, but at the time I was happy in the guild I was in, so I just took the complements and ignored the offer.

(Optional) Tell us a joke: Women�s rights. Badatsss

Character Information
Describe your main spec and offspec, your experience with them, and what you use them for:my offspec is PVP destro for arena.
My mainspec is PVE full demo. compared to other warlock specs demo has the lesser dps output due to our slow casting but our raid buff demonic pact makes up for it all.
Playing demonology has its advantages tho, im more motivated to switch to adds on certain bosses because dropping the adds down to 35% activates our decimate ability that makes our soulfire cast faster and doesnt cost soulshards for back to back 40k crits. Bosses like saurfang or dreamwalker and marrowgar makes our demo spec excel the most

Tons of CoD Black Ops Info:

smaddy — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:51:39 GMT

Currency

CoD Black Ops has a currency system now. What this means is you still level up and unlock stuff as normal. But you can also earn Currency for completing challenges, wins, etc. This allows you to buy stuff that can't be unlocked by leveling.

Contracts (daily quests)

These are rotating challenges offered by Treyarch, changing every day or week. To partake in them, you'll have to pony up a few COD Points to buy the Contract. Complete the challenge and you'll win extra points. There is a catch -- each Contract has a time limit. I bought a low level one that required you to get three SMG kills without dying in less than 40 minutes of game time. It cost 50 COD Points and, upon completing it, I received 250 back.

Fail at completing a Contract and you'll have to wait at least 24 hours to try again. And you'll be out of some COD Points.

Perks and Unlockable Killstreaks

(Note: Notice no Stopping Power!)

Perk 1
Lightweight - Move Faster (Pro)
Scavenger - Pick up ammo from fallen enemies. Replenish lethal grenades. (Pro)
Ghost - Undetectable by the Spy Plane and the Blackbird.
Flak Jacket - Reduces explosive damage.
Hardline - Killstreaks require 1 less kill.

Perk 2
Hardened - Bullets penetrate better.
Scout - Hold breath longer.

Wager Matches (Gambling modes for Free for All)

You can now GAMBLE in some of the Free For All modes (everyone for themselves)

Gambling has arrived in the form of a new mode called Wager Match where players can bet CoD points. The top three players split the winnings. This mode includes four new game types:

One in the Chamber -- Players will start with pistols only, one bullet, and three lives. If you kill someone you get a bullet.

Sticks and Stones -- Players start with a crossbow and a ballistic knife, and a tomahawk. If a player is killed with a tomahawk they go bankrupted.

Gun Game -- All players start with pistol, and every kill gives you a better weapon. First one to progress through the weapons wins. If you get knifed you get reset a level.

Sharp Shooter -- All players start with the same randomly selected weapon. Weapons cycle, but everyone has the same weapon.

IGN has a new Video of these modes in Action
www.ign.com It's in one of their top 5 news stories. One in the Chamber looks fucking sick!!!

Do you have an authenticator?: Yes.

Character Information
Describe your main spec and offspec, your experience with them, and what you use them for: My main spec is fire - it blows shit up with free pyros. When there are multiple targets up at once (depending how fast they die) I'll have Living bomb rolling on them.
My experience with fire goes back to naxx through ulduar.
Fire's strong point is the ability to keep dots rolling on the boss while delivering steady damage through the encounter. The downside of fire is there aren't many cooldowns and "on demand" burst damage. You really can't take advantage of a burn period as well as arcane.
My offspec is arcane - I use it usually in 10 mans.
My experience with arcane is the TOC/TOGC time frame of wrath, once I hit icc (after a few upgrades) I went back to fire.

I do play outside of raid nights, this game is my hobby and I enjoy playing it.

Is there anything in the near future that will prevent you from making our raid times?
Yes, my class that I will be attending for the next seven weeks. My girlfriend would be happy to sit on my mage and clear trash until I get home from class.

Reliability in attendance is very important to us since we only have around 30 raiders, are you reliable? Yes, as pathetic as it sounds I try to plan my week around raiding.

Anything extra you would like to add(optional): I'm "undergeared" (according to high end guilds)but I do and take pride in the way I execute mechanics.

Character Information
Describe your main spec and offspec, your experience with them, and what you use them for:
MAIN SPEC: Marksmen for raiding/most PVE situations. I have experience with survival but switched to MM before ICC was open.
OFF SPEC: currently it's BM. I was trying it out to PVP with but I am not liking it. I prefer MM or Survival for PVP.

Armory link: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...ll&cn=Razestar

What are your professions and are they currently the best for your class for raiding?
450 elixir master with probably 95% of the alchemy recipes / transmutes available.
450 goblin engineering: I prefer engineering for it's fun and being a hunter I try to help the raid with repairbots (jeeves), flairs, and of course being able to feign death at the last moment and shocking a "rezzing" class to bring the rest of the group to life is worth it imo.

In the future would you be willing to switch specs/professions/race/ect in the case that the best choice changed?: I have no problem switching specs. I prefer my professions due to my extensive time put into them. That, and it helps me with the entertainment value of the game. I tried a hunter with most races and I prefer Taurens.

Frequently played alts (armory links):
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...rcle&cn=Dasbus

Wrath of the Lich King experience (Be specific with ICC and RS, mention any leadership or special roles)I have been successful in the death of 25man ICC and ICC HM bosses up to Sindragosa. I have attempted the LK on my paladin but not with my hunter. I have completed RS as well. I have not led any of the raids and played my directed assignments.

What WoW related websites do you visit (how often, for what info, etc.): Tankspot - for fight explinations as well as youtube. I prefer WowBash for entertainment though

Previous MMO Experience: Lineage2

Other Video Games Played: too many to list.

Name One Pet Peeve: know-it-alls

Game Information/Notes
What do you play for/what are your goals in game?: I play for entertainment with other players who can joke around once in a while, who do realize that even as intense WoW is it is first and foremost a game.

How do you react to stress/criticism?: If I am a problem or part of one I try to fix the issue as soon as possible or leave if the resolution isn't immediate. Delaying a raid or being detrimental to the success is not my preference. I take criticism fine, as long as it is put forth in a manner that is mature. Lastly, and most crucial, Real Life comes first.

Is there anything in the near future that will prevent you from making our raid times? nothing foreseeable

Reliability in attendance is very important to us since we only have around 30 raiders, are you reliable? yes.

Anything extra you would like to add(optional): I enjoy a witty/progressive raid group that knows how to laugh and enjoy the game. I do prefer most of all raiding with my wife.

Where did you hear about our guild(reference from a member, WoW forums, etc): My ex-raid leader Yziemon has joined DM and persuaded the wife and me to the wonders that Cho'gal has to offer.

(Optional) Tell us a joke: here's one guild specific (i will try to keep it short)

A woman starts to enter a metro bus with her baby in her arms. The bus driver stops her and says, "ma'am, that is the ugliest baby i have ever seen."

the woman is speechless and slams her money in the box and storms back to a seat next to a gentlemen.

The man speaks up. "Miss, I can't help but to see you are upset. Is there something wrong?"

"YES there is." replied the woman. "That driver just insulted me!"

"oh my," says the man. "you know, he's technically a public servant and it's really not his place to be insulting his passengers. If i were in your shoes I would go up there and tell him."

"You're Right!" said the woman. "I am going to talk to him right NOW!"

The man replies, "well here. let me hold your Monkey."
