IRL First Name: David
Age: 23
Hobbies: Longboarding the skateboard kind
Country/Timezone: California
Sister(s):no
Are you able to handle shit talking: Yes
The virtual you (!)
Usual In-game/Forum Alias: Derlin
What do you look for in a video game in order for you to play it? List at least one game which stands out for you and explain why it is superior to the others you have played:
I enjoy games that are balanced for a high amount of competitiveness because they often have a higher skill ceiling. this allows for more growth as a player. i would include HON/DOTA, counter strike and unreal tournament in this. Also darkfall 1.0 of course.
Describe the greatest gaming moment in your life and why it stands out among others (Regarding multi player PC games):
One of my favorite moments in darkfall was at the dungeon of mabria when it still had the belows in it. We found a guy outside of the dungeon. he proceeded to fight us 3 to 1. he circled around the dungeon going through it then out again. he slowly took us down as he was much more prepared for a long drawn out fight. he won and this showed me how much there was to improve in this game and what i could look forward to.
Explain briefly your least favorite kind of person to play with (characteristics, personality):
People unwilling to work with others.
How do you typically handle working with people like the one mentioned above?:
I try to set a good example of a team player.
Describe an experience where you had to act as a leader (either planned or improvised):
this was in wow but i have always enjoyed this memory regardless. i was in a shit small guild in the game because a friend invited me. they were having trouble killing some Bat boss. I noticed that we were mostly being killed by a large number of smaller creatures that were being spawned. So i said we should have all the mages with frost stand in one spot and the healers too. So when those creatures spawned all the healers were able to continue healing the people needing healing because the frost mages were using this AOE frost move at the same time to kill the creatures.
What sort of things define a good leader to you?:
Confidence, Willing to listen to the people their leading. Some people can be good at the game and make good calls but if the people your leading don't respect you things can go wrong.
Darkfall related (!)
What sort of role will you prefer in Unholy Wars?:
Ive enjoyed the warrior so far. i like to fiddle around until i find a few ways of playing that work.
How much time will you be able to play Unholy Wars each day:
Weekdays 3 hours at least. Weekends as long as i feel like.
Did you play the original Darkfall? If so, for how long?:
yes. off and on. during the start of EU 1 for a while. Grind was a bit much and most of my friends stopped playing so i eventually drifted away. Then at NA1 i played for a good while maybe 6 months. Then off and on here and there when i got bored of not playing an MMO.
If you answered 'YES' above, use this section to talk about what you liked/disliked about Darkfall and any interesting experiences you had in it:
Me and agent tron had a very fun fight with members of RIP when they owned isturak i think. We were on relatively new characters at the time but we fought outnumbered and won. until more came and we couldn't overcome the stat loss.
What is going to be your main gaming motivation while playing Unholy Wars?:
Well fun is always a priority. I also enjoy accomplishing things as a team. (as cliche as that sounds lol)
Clan related (!)
Why did you apply to Covert Operations?:
I remember fighting you guys in the very early days of eu 1. It was on rubiyat . my friends and i were on some island off the northern coast near a chaos city. you guys landed a raft nearby. You guys gave us a very fun and long fight. I cant exactly remember the outcome but i know i survived. it has always stuck in my mind as one of my favorite darkfall moments. Also you guys always had a strong name throughout darkfall as far as i can remember.
How will you be an asset to Covert Operations?:
Im a team player. I'm really looking forward to being part of a quality group so i can grow along side them.
Do you have any friends in the clan? If so, list who they are and give a brief history with them.
I am friends with Agent Tron and Samson. We have been playing games together for a while. We had allot of fun together playing pirates viking knights. Counter strike and Hon/dota. Also darkfall.
Previous clan(s) & the reason why you left: i was in covenant of the Phoenix in early eu1 days. I helped lead a section of the clan. The leader ship for the most part did not seem interested in its members so me and some other people ended up leaving.
How involved were you in your previous clans? (Leadership positions, politics, etc): Ill be honest I'm not usually the leadership type. But i enjoy giving well thought out input with confidence when i see my chances.
