About You and Your Account
I'm applying to the Wilderness Guardians clan
1. What is your current RuneScape username, and what are your past usernames, if any?
Ronmanola
2. Tell us about your RuneScape account and history (e.g. when you started, what your RSN means, favourite activities, etc.):
This account began in Nov 2004, and I played a bit until summer 2010 at which point a girl came into my life and after about a year and a half sabbatical for the wedding and such, I returned to RS. EOC came and ruined the game for me so I once again took a break and have returned because of OSRS. I used to do a bit of warring with clans such as blades of serenity, the death monkeighs, wicked fury, and more clans that I can't recall atm. Most recently I quit the elite paladins after being in-active in the clan for a few months. They were a great clan but their focus is eoc and I am looking for an OSRS clan.
3. Tell us about yourself (Name (if you are comfortable), gender, age, country, hobbies, music, talents, likes and dislikes):
You can call me Ron.
Male
22
AZ, USA
I collect/use guns (handguns and more recently AR-15s)
Classical music
No talents really
I like girls (married one) and don't like peas or snow.
4. How did you hear about us, and what makes you want to join WG?
WG used to ac wars when I was in TDM. I spent the day reading through several clan sites including: VR, DF, DI, ROT, Gen, and many more. WG seems to be the one with the least drama and highest morals.
Your PvP Experience
5. What multi-combat PvP experience do you have? Be sure to mention any recent or past F2P or P2P PvP clans you have been in.
A lot of f2p-style warring back in the day (~2006). I was also an anti-rc-pker for a good year or two(not multi-combat). I did a little BH as noted by my highscores in the eoc-game. Also I did a lot of castlewars back when you actually needed skill and a fast pid to win the games. I've got very little multi-way p2p wildy experience and the little I've had, I've hated.
6. Our warring times are usually between 4PM EST/9PM GMT and 6PM EST/11PM GMT on weekends, and sometimes weekdays. Can you regularly be active at these times?
I almost never play on sundays, that day is reserved for time with my wife. Saturdays, it depends on my wife's schedule and during the week, it depends on work.
7. Do you agree to keep your PvP gear well stocked? Can you stock up on the required gear found as a sticky in the 'Join the Clan' forum?
I'm a quest noob so I can't utilize all the gear yet but expenses are not an issue. I usually keep the items that I use on a regular basis, very well stocked. i.e. at the time of this app I have 190k waters, 16k chaos, 13k deaths, 2k blood, 2k super sets, 5k sharks, etc. As time goes on, my stock will become more complete as I'm still working on getting all the supplies I need in OSRS.
8. Do you understand that all PvP events are mandatory if you are online, and that you face removal from the clan should you blatantly skip these events?
I love f2p-style pvp events such as the fight pit one today and I will give p2p-style events a try again however if I dislike them as much as I did in the past, I would request the right to leave the clan so I do not have to attend the p2p-style pvp events.
Your Activity and Availability
9. Do you agree to check our forums daily, be on IRC at all times while you are in game, and to be on TeamSpeak for all wars and raids? (Please note, these are third party programs, but clans have been using them for years and are crucial to our success, as such they ARE a requirement. Further details can be provided on request.)
Check our forums daily: No
be on IRC at all times while you are ingame: No, I have tried various clients such as SK and do not like them so I play on the RS downloadable client.
be on TeamSpeak for all wars and raids: If the area where I am gaming allows (sometimes I play in public areas). I have used TS in the past and would be willing to use it again.
10. Is there anything in the near future that may impact your activity or ability to attend events?
I'm closing on a house in a month (moving etc) and I have two-business related trips this summer.
BeeBee:
How did you survive in a top clan like VR and ROT if you did not check their forums daily and used IRC?
Bit concerned you refuse to check the forums daily as short preps may pop up.
Ronmanola:
Hi Panda,
I was never in VR actually but can't recall if I was in ROT or not. I do not play RS everyday and in the past I usually find out when events get posted and check for the next week's events. I then check my schedule and see what times I can make those events and if at all possible I adjust my work schedule to make events I'd like to go to. I can not guarantee to check the forums everyday which is why I said no however I will make every effort to check it a few times a week.
Thanks,
Ron
Ronmanola:
I don't know if you're in the IRC, but if you are, scroll up and you'll find a reason why I do not like being required to stay in uncensored chats. That is something Jagex actually monitors reasonably well.
Mojo:
Hi Ron, what are you concerns with SwiftKit? I find it a very useful client to use while I play rs, the IRC client is just one of many useful functions.
Anyway, welcome and I hope to see you in IRC soon :)
