Well-spoken, particularly
Submitted by Shihli on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 11:13.Well-spoken, particularly for a 16-year-old. But jiu-jitsu? Aww man, Americanized Japanese FTL. Jujutsu, please.
(I'm a martial arts snob)
Overall I can't say we have a lot of space, but as per what we usually say on these sorts of apps, make your presence known on the site and sign up for the oft-run Karazhan and "mAlt" Gruul/Magtheridon runs.
I just have a few quick
Submitted by Aidin on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 11:32.I just have a few quick things for you.
1. you said "I would personally love to raid because that is the top asset I love about this game. I might be disappointed if it would take that long to raid but I am also coming into the guild for friendships."
With your available times, you would never really see anything outside of Gruul/Mag or maybe an occasional SSC/TK if you had the gear and dps to do so. We have 25 man raiding locks coming out of our ears, and a line a mile long waiting for their shot at BT and SW.
How do you feel about this?
2. You mentioned Encounter, Josalin, and Nikkyta.
I'm gonna be frank here, and I really hope I don't upset anyone. Encounter has been in the guild for quite some time, and no one has a clue who he is. I run the older 25 content with my husband, and he's never even stepped foot in with us (even though I've prompted him to sign up), I don't even know if he's bothered running 5 mans. Nikkyta hasn't shown his face in ages...he just went poof. Jossy is da bomb...but using Encounter and Nikkyta for references kinda makes me go...meh...he won't be around or participate in the community. How can we be sure you aren't another Nikkyta or Encounter?
I havent been grilling new
Submitted by Shinzwei on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 11:49.I havent been grilling new apps in awhile but here goes. You say you would be disappointed if it took a long time for you to raid. Sorry to disappoint you but if you are invited into guild you wont see much besides the raids you've already done. On our off nights there are tons of Kara, ZA, and an assload of 5 mans going on. We have a long line of new recruits and guildies who would love to do Black Temple and Hyjal so dont get your hopes up of seeing those instances.
Reading your app there were a few times you say you were top 10, top 5, and even top 3. So you're pretty confident about what you do. Our locks in guild are veterans and would put you to shame. But thats obvious because they are all sporting T6 gear.
I see alot of "I want to join Downfall and meet new friends, help out with whatever I can" and blah blah blah. We have had lots join Downfall and leave because they cant raid. They think that when they get accepted into an end game raiding guild that we will gear them up with T6 gear. Thats not how things work around here. Maybe I'm taking my frustration out on you but whatever.
You answered yes to the "Would you ever burn out" quetsion. How and why?An explanation would be helpful or else you would just be another recruit who had to quit due to life issues. Thats a very legitimate reason and who am I to tell you that a game is more important than life. We dont want to waste our time and yours if you know you're going to burn out. I know I'm being hard but if you cant take me ripping you a new one during the application process then you wouldnt wanna see it in green text.
Hmm what else am I leaving out. Anyways if you have high hopes of seeing end game just because you may sport the <Downfall> tag ontop of your head I would suggest you look elsewhere.
Who is

Nikkyta went home for the
Submitted by Josalin on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 13:27.Nikkyta went home for the summer(he's in college) where his parents have pretty much kept him from logging in. He's actually pretty sad that he hasn't been able to play, and keeps asking me how everyones doing.
I really don't know whats going on with Encounter either, since he really doesn't say anything in gchat, and hasn't really talked to me either.
Lurgen is a good kid though, and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind just don't the SSC/TK's gruul/mag, whatever when he was needed.
He asked me tons of questions pre-app, and honestly seemed really excited, and worried about how he should word things. He really put a lot of thought into apping.

Yeah, jiu-jitsu (I honestly
Submitted by Lurgen on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 17:21.Yeah, jiu-jitsu (I honestly think that is how its spelled) is a lot of fun. It has taught me many great moves and techniques so I am a lot more confident in myself since I started :).
For the first question
Submitted by Lurgen on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 17:27.For the first question Aidin, I would just be happy that I am doing raids, I do not expect to just jump into the more experienced raids. The guild I am in currently is even having trouble getting into our 25-man raids. I would be ok with Gruul, Mag, SSC, and TK just fine because its just a game and I'm here to have fun and meet new people also. :)
For the second question, you can trust me on this, I will always be up for running stuff as long as I have the time, which I usually do. I am a social player and can do whatever people throw at me.
Thanks for the comments everyone! :)
Responding to Shinzwei's
Submitted by Lurgen on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 17:40.Responding to Shinzwei's comment here, for you first paragraph, I understand completely and I do not expect to get into BT and Hyjal for a long time, but like I said in the application, I would like to prove myself that I can be great in the raids.
For your third paragraph, i understand about that also, but I am not like those people. I can take not raiding if need be but like I keep saying, I would like to prove myself so that maybe I can achieve into the raids.
For your fourth paragraph, the only reasons I would ever burn out in a raid (this doesn't apply to weekend raids, only weekday raids) is because I would either have school the next day or work the next day.
Thanks for the comment. :)
Jiu-jitsu is how Americans
Submitted by Shihli on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 17:48.Jiu-jitsu is how Americans bastardized the language. Same thing we did with crap like chimichangas.
Trust me, it's jujutsu.
Haha ok, gotcha. Jujutsu
Submitted by Lurgen on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 17:50.Haha ok, gotcha. Jujutsu is brazillian though. Is it Japanese too?

Submitted by Shihli on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 18:00./facepalm
Here's a little martial arts history lesson for ya!
Jujutsu started with the samurai in Japan, as a way of defending themselves when using a sword was impossible or impractical (such as in a government building). The art of Jujutsu is, therefore, something around 400-600 years old.
Brazilian Jujutsu was started by the Gracie family, as a way of defending oneself with your bare hands, but designed such that anyone of any size or shape could make good use of it. Brazilian Jujutsu started in 1914.

Submitted by Caronte22 on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 18:22.don't forget Judo and Bartitsu
Jujutsu was first introduced to Europe in 1899 by Edward William Barton-Wright , who had studied Tenjin Shinyō-ryū and Shinden Fudo Ryu in Yokohama and Kobe , respectively. He had also trained briefly at the Kodokan in Tokyo. Upon returning to england he folded the basics of all of these styles, as well as boxing, savate and French stick fighting , into an eclectic self-defence system called Bartitsu.
Ahh....i see now. Thank
Submitted by Lurgen on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 19:16.Ahh....i see now. Thank you :). Brazillian Jujutsu is what I take. :)

Submitted by Adwarflol on Wed, 07/30/2008 - 18:53.I know Lurgen, he's in my current guild. He seems to be a skilled player who knows how to play his class. I've raided SSC and TK with him <.<

No excuses, fight like a champion! ;p
I'd hit it, with a splash attack
How long have you been
Submitted by Dikymo on Thu, 07/31/2008 - 12:12.How long have you been playing WoW?:
About two years online, started when I was about 12 or 13.
How old are you?:
16
I lol'd.
Schedule and raid will be in total conflict once school starts. Hamfist is 9:30 to 1:30 our time. lf1m is 9 to 12. all on school nights. Malt/smash and grab might be an option for you but thats up to Grasen and Aidin.
As for gear. Spellstrike set + 2 piece t4 bonus is the most op combo in the game at your gear level. Blessings deck trinket would be another good upgrade. Gem and enchant that new chest.
Did you have another account? Seems like a very small amount of time played considering the length of time you have been in game.

Thank you for the response
Submitted by Lurgen on Thu, 07/31/2008 - 18:11.Thank you for the response Dikymo, and what I meant on the time playing comment was, I started when I was about 12 or thirteen, played my character on the Shadowmoon server. I eventually quit the game, came back after a while, and have been back since so that answers your next question, I did have another account but that guy is long gone. I will look into the spellstrike set also but I will need to farm a lot to get the mats and as for the chest, I actually just received it so ill gem it asap :). Thank you!

Overall, he did his job, listened well...not much of a talker yet...lol Had to give a shout out for some attention to his aggro...but that could have been the nubbish MT's fault more then his super nuking lock aggro..lol YES I MT'ED RAWWWWWWWR!
Haha yes, thank you very
Submitted by Lurgen on Mon, 08/04/2008 - 09:27.Haha yes, thank you very much for taking me along last night, it was a lot of fun. Also, in my defense, when we went for Mag, I did not have Salv on me so that was why I was pulling so much threat. Also, I still had "Soulshatter" handy, so I wasn't worried about pulling agro :).
You are right...not one time
Submitted by Aidin on Mon, 08/04/2008 - 09:37.You are right...not one time did you actually pull aggro, cept maybe once on trash..lol.
Don't be afraid to holler at the pallies for slackin!!! If you don't have salv, that's a no no! Paladins are using a mod which should make keeping buffs up pretty effortless.
Lol yeah that one time on
Submitted by Lurgen on Thu, 08/07/2008 - 12:38.Lol yeah that one time on the trash, I got a crit with shadow bolt, which made my agro go well above 1500 :(. But will do next time, i did say it twice though in the raid chat, but it happens :). Thanks again :)
