Read Me First: DL Rules & Application Template

1. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Join the forums. Create an account using your toon name so I don't delete your account.
2. Highlight & cut the app template below (everything in the code field)
3. Create a new post in the Help Wanted forum.
4. Paste the template into the new post.
5. Fill out said template and IMPRESS THE HELL out of us. Seriously.

2. TO THOSE WHO FAIL TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS:
Thank you. You automatically pre-screened yourself for us, and saved us the time to consider you. Find the little X at the top of your browser and click this tab/window closed.

3. DON'T WASTE YOUR OR OUR TIME:
Should you have NOT closed this browser window yet please do us both a favor and write an application WORTH reading. We don't really care to read about how you decided not to follow some simple instructions or that you don't do 'apps' though we appreciate it when someone provides us with examples of why we won't be recruiting them upfront.

Note: To any and all who apply - If you apply and then do not log on to play you've denied yourself. I don't understand who would take the time to fill out an application then never log on but it seems to be a regular occurrence.

5. APPLICATION PROCESS
Seems like a lot doesn't it? It is. Its how we weed out half assed people.

• Once you post an application the guild leaders review it
• You will either get invited to come hang out with us in a raid or you'll get turned down via private message
• Should your trial run go well DL will extend you an invite to the guild
• You will be on probation until you've proven you belong in DL

PS - Remember to hit enter to keep the intended Application Formatting - You'll score points for that and the app won't look like a jumbled mess.. THX!

A:

[COLOR=#ffffff]Q: What led you to apply to the Drunken Lords?[/COLOR]
A:

[SIZE=2][COLOR=#ffffff]Q: DL has unfortunately recruited more douchebags then you could count with your shoes off.[/COLOR][/SIZE]
[COLOR=#c0c0c0][SIZE=2]Douchebags are defined as players who are;[/SIZE][/COLOR]
[LIST]
[*][COLOR=#c0c0c0][SIZE=2]Arrogant - We Think: Sorry snowflake you AREN'T god's gift to WoW, this server and certainly not this guild[/SIZE][/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=#c0c0c0][SIZE=2]Ignorant - I'd explain this but: if it applies to you its a waste of our time..[/SIZE][/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=#c0c0c0][SIZE=2]A Bitch - Do you complain a lot over this game? You might be one.[/SIZE][/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=#c0c0c0][SIZE=2]Entitled - Those who expect something for nothing. Simply logging on doesn't equal a raid spot. Sorry sunshine you have to try harder.[/SIZE][/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=#c0c0c0][SIZE=2]Guild Hopper - No loyalty? Let's not waste each other's time k?[/SIZE][/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=#c0c0c0][SIZE=2]Trolls - You aren't as witty as think.. We're not impressed..[/SIZE][/COLOR]
[*][COLOR=#c0c0c0][SIZE=2]Greedy - You'll get what deserve we're sure but not from us..[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#ffffff]Q: DL is run by Cenobite. Cenobite doesn't tolerate douchebags or their bullshit - especially the bullshit you are a) possibly including in this app b) not including in this app c) pretending isn't you which only really makes you more of a douchebag. Cenobite already thinks you might be bullshitting us about not being a douchebag. How do you see yourself proving Cenobite wrong?[/COLOR]
A:

[COLOR=#ffffff]Q: Do you know anyone in DL who will vouch for you?[/COLOR]
A:

[COLOR=#ffffff][SIZE=4][FONT=arial black]4. Seriously Though...:[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[COLOR=#ffffff]Your attitude is going to ultimately dictate whether or not DL accepts your application. We don't care who you think you are or whether you can raid [COLOR=#ffffff]<insert current tier here />[/COLOR] solo. We look at how you treat people in general. Why do you think we choose to roll this way and what is it about you that will set you apart from other applicants?[/COLOR]
A:

[COLOR=#ffffff]DL is not interested in recruiting guild hopping players. On top of being someone people don't to curb stomp the stupid out of, we look for players who understand loyalty, dedication and respect. What is your longest stint in a guild and why did you end up leaving?[/COLOR]
A:

[COLOR=#ffffff]Q: You will be asked to visit these forums daily. Why do think we would ask this?[/COLOR]
A:

[COLOR=#ffffff]Q: What's led you to choose DL?[/COLOR]
A:

[COLOR=#ffffff]Q: We aren't interested in becoming a PUG like the endless parade of guilds you've never heard of come and go in the past. We look for 'guild members', not 'raiders'. Tell us what you think the difference is and why you think we've chosen this route?[/COLOR]
A:

[COLOR=#ffffff]Q: DL will happily recruit casual players, if we like your app of course, and your family / friends if we like you. You do need to know our primary 10m run has no raid spots open though we do successful alt run(s) new members interested in raiding are welcome to attend. Are you going to be okay being a casual member?[/COLOR]
A:

[COLOR=#ffffff]S: We love to raid. We do.  However, we are neither hardcore or concerned about server / faction firsts. We play for fun and it sometimes comes at the expense of progress fights. Knowing that tell us why our chosen play style will suit you?[/COLOR]
A:

[COLOR=#ffffff]Q: We could be referred to as 'casual' when it comes to raiding however we expect anyone who has designs on being a raider with DL to prove themselves first as both dependable and capable. You will have to pay dues and establish our trust first which means attending alt runs and possibly being a back up for our main run. Tell us why you think we ask this?[/COLOR]
A:

[COLOR=#ffffff]DL is not a "PG" guild [B]but[/B] DL is not, does not nor will tolerate racism, sexism, douchebaggery, hate or insecure malicious mouth pieces who compensate for a lack of self esteem by trying to bring others down to their own level. What makes you different than the stick that I can throw that hits the other 15 people who're going to tell us the same tired old bullshit about how they never troll and are complete angels?[/COLOR]
A:

[COLOR=#ffffff]Q: DL as a guild is ultimately more a community of family & friends who know how to enjoy the game, know what to take seriously and what not to take seriously, and how to take care of business when the time comes. This app is really your first test so knowing that tell us why you are sure DL is right for you and why?[/COLOR]
A:

Modified questions in application.
