The real you
IRL First Name: Kevin
Age: 30
Hobbies: Gaming, Medieval Japanese History
Country/Timezone: Japan / UTC+09:00
Sister(s): None
Are you able to handle shit talking: Yes
The virtual you (!)
Usual In-game/Forum Alias: fungus boy
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:
PvP/Sandbox games are my favorite, but I play all genres
pretty heavily. I have enjoyed Ultima Online, Shadowbane, Tribes, CS, Darkfall,
etc etc. My favorite game remains Ultima Online in either the 1.0 or t2a
rulesets.
Describe the greatest gaming moment in your life and why it stands out among
others (Regarding multi player PC games):
Probably clean-looting a 2 story house in UO (pre-lockdowns), after killing its
owner and 2 other guys. The level of grief possible in that game was amazing.
Explainbriefly your least favorite kind of person to play with (characteristics, personality):
People who rage when they lose and cry about the game all day.
How do you typically handle working with people like the one mentioned above?:
Usually just laugh at them.
Describe an experience where you had to act as a leader (either planned or
improvised):
I led a pvp guild in UO for roughly 2 years called Farmers and Tailors, mostly
during faction/order chaos wars. We merged with Evil Bastages later on in
Shadowbane.
What sort of things define a good leader to you?:
Calm, focused, capable of assessing combat situations and handling group organization.
Darkfall related (!)
What sort of role will you prefer in Unholy Wars?:
Tanky melee/ranged, probably swapping between dex warrior and dex skirmisher,
but I am not totally committed to a role.
How much time will you be able to play Unholy Wars each day:
3-4 hours
Did you play the original Darkfall? If so, for how long?:
Yes, for about 4-5 months plus some of the EU beta.
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:
I love full loot, open worlds, and the city/seiging mechanics. The grind was abysmal and the population was a bit too low for my tastes. AV as a company is terrible, but their game has little competition so here I am.
As far as interesting experiences, I was one of the first people on NA to use high level
air magic in PvP, and I really enjoyed using Stormblast in early large group
fights as an escape skill/group wall hop.
What is going to be your main gaming motivation while playing Unholy Wars?:
PvP and sieges, including helping with city building. I love fighting in groups. I will farm a good bit while I am working because I work from my apartment about half the time.
Clan related (!)
Why did you apply to Covert Operations?:
We are looking for a mid-size guild with a pvp focus and Infi and Mad Duke both thought you guys would be a great fit.
How will you be an asset to Covert Operations?:
I am fairly hardcore, and I can help fill the Asian primetime slot. I am usually pretty good at the games I play, so I should be a good PvP asset.
Do you have any friends in the clan? If so, list who they are and give a brief
history with them.
Previous clan(s) & the reason why you left:
Farmers andTailors - clan died out after a few years, merged with Evil Bastages
EvilBastages - after another 10 years our clan is dwindling again, time for another
merge.
I have never quit a guild.
How involved were you in your previous clans? (Leadership positions, politics,
etc):
Very involved, although I am not particularly interested in leadership - I am good
at following orders and helping with planning, but I don't like organizing
people. I tend to be a useful source of info (regarding patching, game mechanics, etc) on the games I play.
