Jackal

Your post is in the right place, and you did a great job of following suit. We have a handful of players who are planning to hit the servers as soon as they open (including Pride and Vanity, our chapter leaders who are gung-ho on getting the in-game guild up and running before sun up.) It's a tad late for us, but there will be an officer/chapter lead around in the morning to change your access so you can participate in more of the forums. As an added note: we have a lot of couples in the guild, and we love seeing an intro post from each person. That way we get to know both you and your wife individually as well as gaming with you as a couple. Congrats on the baby! Is this your first? Are you expecting a boy or girl? And can we help you pick names?! I promise suggestions will be lore related. Welcome to SoH!

Senior year is exciting! Hope you're living it up I assume you're graduating next month. Congrats! One of the perks of being in a guild with many Crypt Keepers is that we've been around the block. Navigating the post-HS life can be a bit tricky, so if you have any questions or uncertainties, please open a thread in the Off Topic forum! We're more than happy to chime in with our life experiences

I understand your plight in finding the right guild. When my previous guild in Guild Wars 2 fell apart, I knew where I wanted to be next. I had worked with SoH members (namely Fera, Tyrlis, Huntyre, and Grieve) on the server community for Crystal Desert prior to applying. In my intro post, I noted that that I suspected this is where the good people go. Turns out those suspicions were true Our forums are very active, so someone will be around shortly to bump your access so you can participate in more of the forums. We also regularly pester recruits with lots of random questions, so I'd like to get the ball rolling on that! What's your best dance move? Do you have an embarrassing story you're willing to share? (In-game or IRL) What do you do for a living? Sounds like someone beat you on the name reservation for 'Squeaky'. How'd you get that handle? Welcome to SoH!

We're going to get along just fine It's good that you lurked a bit before signing on. Informed decisions are always preferred! Despite the holiday weekend, it's a bit late for us. Someone will be around in the morning to bump your access so you can participate in more of the forums. Our only hazing ritual is that we pester new recruits with all sorts of questions, which Eslosh and Reign have already taken to. <3 You may be asked more questions as we get to know you. Feel free to return the favor. Welcome to SoH!

You're the first to answer this question within it's context. It made me smile!

No worries for the long post! More information is better than less, and players are wont to chime in as they relate to your walk of gaming/life. Our forums are very active so someone will be around shortly to bump your access. With that, you'll be able to see more forums and draw conclusions after reading them. I met Vansung briefly in Mumble earlier today; it was very positive. Great to meet one of his friends! We've heard that he trains Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, and MMA. Which one of these did you use to kick his ass? And which do you expect he'll warm up for before knocking on your door after reading your post? Welcome to SoH!

Not at all a bad thing! I'm also bananas looking for peanut butter to make something magical. Unfortunately that line doesn't get a lot of responses on Craig's List.

Good to have you, Bluur! You have great gaming experience! We have several members with Steam libraries that will never be completed (somehow this came up in a thread about nail polish ) I'm slightly envious as I've only purchased two games from Steam, but then they all seem stressed by their libraries. Real life is stressful enough that I don't feel the need to pay for more. Part of our getting to know new players is to ask ridiculous questions. You covered the gaming side, so when you have a moment, we'd like to get to know the person behind the keyboard! What's your best dance move? Do you have an embarrassing story you're willing to share? What's the worst job you've ever had? Do you have a shrine to praise the Chua? Welcome to SoH!

The peanut butter and banana comparison in Ivo's intro post makes much more sense now: you're the peanut butter and he's bananas. Welcome to SoH!

Go! What's your best dance move? What's an embarrassing moment you're willing to share? (In-game or IRL) Which aspect of Wildstar PvP are you most looking forward to? Liking art in "all forms" is rather broad. Is there something that has struck you significantly?

You just made a lot of friends and enemies with one sentence. I love the vivid imagery. Looking forward to your in-game house warming party! Is it BYOB or are you too classy for that? Welcome to SoH!

You come across as charming and disarming. I love it! SoH is full of members that come from all walks of gaming and life, so you're in good company. Many of us can be shy and awkward, but a few weeks here and you won't realize that you ever were. I like that you're a tanky player. I'm rolling my first tank for this game, and I'm really excited about it. It's all, "Get off my friend, you asshole!" and then I take all the aggro. I behave the same way irl when a female friend meets an unwanted suitor. It's a little awkward as I'm sometimes obviously gay, so the macho card is out the window. But I tell myself that training in Muay Thai for a few years (ending over almost two years ago) is enough to get me out of any demonstrations of testosterone that might arise. Yay for false confidence! A few questions, just for fun: What's your best dance move? What's an embarrassing moment you've had? (in game or irl) How did you download Pokemon Emerald for your phone? (I've never played a Pokemon game and feel like part of my childhood is missing) If it's legal to do so, would you share with us a ridiculous encounter you've had while working in the medical field? Welcome to SoH!

I love the confidence! I feel radical-er just from reading your intro Welcome to SoH!

Yay for Dorne Jr! Congratulations What class is he going to play?

Oh, that's a good reminder. Can I trade out the question regarding your embarrassing story and make it about Zach instead? That'd be great.

Your gaming intentions are great! It fits well here. There's a lot of buzz for the head-start weekend, so your sociable personality will be well received. A few questions for you, just for fun: What's your best dance move? What's one of your guilty indulgences? What's your favorite gaming experience? What's an embarrassing real life story that you're willing to share? Welcome to SoH!

The first concert I ever went to was when Bleach and Skillet performed together when I was in middle school (1998ish); it must've been very early in their career. The show was in a gymnasium, and one of the band members (don't remember which band) climbed to the top of the speakers which was as high as the basketball hoop and dove into the crowd. I remember it vividly because the church I was with at the time was rather conservative to the point of disallowing drums in services, so this concert was a bit of a scandal to the parents. I haven't kept up with the Christian rock scene in some time, so I didn't realize they were still around. Hot damn!

Please do let me know about your next EP/album. I couldn't access the self titled album because I don't use iTunes, which was a bit of a bummer after hearing the other songs. And thanks for playing along! Those last two questions were a little ridiculous just for the sake of being so. Good to know that you have experience in theory crafting, though. Threads always pop up about how to build, and it sounds like you can contribute with or without 'going down the rabbit hole'. (Theory crafting can get nuts, but you know that.) I won't tell your friends about anything, but I will recommend that you see Book of Mormon. Just don't make my mistake and see it with religious parents. The whole 'Fuck you God' song didn't go over so well with them, but I thought the show was a lot of fun. The caveat is that it's a bit more forgettable than other musicals.

I go by Jack online, but when I'm not logged in, I'm also Ben. After reading your intro, I knew I had to check out your site if for nothing other than the fact that we're the only two Bens in the guild (to my knowledge). From This Fire's 'The Serenade' EP is great! I loved 'Days Go By' and 'Dreams'. I may be listening to 'Dreams' again as I post this. A few questions, just for fun What's your best dance move? What's one of your guilty pleasures? Do you ever play weddings? If so, did it involve performing the chicken dance song? Did you use Red Bull or Ritalin to achieve your #1 Hunter ranking? I'm not one to judge, just looking for pointers! Welcome to SoH!
