Static Application

[Brutall]

This is the application for Static on Arthas. Be aware that if you are filling this out in Internet Explorer 8, or any previous versions, you may run into issues. Firefox, IE9+, and most other mainstream browsers are in the clear.

If you value our time, as you should, because we value yours, simply copy and paste the code we list below our application into a new topic and respond to each question honestly. If you aren't the best player in the world, we won't hold that against you, because we aren't the best either. However, we strive to become better each and everyday, and we expect you to as well. We hate nothing more than seeing an application that looks like trash.

Directions

Step 1: USE THE CODE I GAVE YOU IN THE SECOND POST IN THIS THREAD. It amazes me how often people overlook this WONDERFUL tool! Just take the code I gave you, and follow the rest of these directions.

Please apply spaces between our questions and your answers, and please use THE COLOR YELLOW as the font color for your answers. It's quite easy to determine who read the directions and who didn't with something as simple as the color yellow. Put some effort into your application, and we'll be much more prone to get you raiding with us. Oh, and please do NOT embolden your answers. Our questions are that way to make your answers stand out a little bit more. Not that the color yellow requires much help, but still...

Step 2: Make a new thread in this subsection of our forum and put your character name and class/spec as the title. We will begin evaluating and posting our questions quite quickly, so be ready!

We highly encourage and recommend you go to our accepted applications section and review how we feel an application should look. Go on, make this process easier on all of us.

Lastly, if you want a private application, PM Brutall.

Remember that in this case, we want you to be detailed. Simple one word answers, in most cases, will be your downfall in this application. Make this thing look good, as we don't like people who are lazy.


Static Application

Review the application instructions listed above. What color are your answers supposed to be?

All About You

What is your character's name, server, race, class, and specialization?

Link us your advanced Armory. That's right, I said your ADVANCED. Advanced! ADVANCED! LINK YOUR ADVANCED ARMORY (log out in PvE gear):

Do you understand that you will NOT be allowed into the guild if you have a foreign character in your name, or if your name is offensive?

What is your age, gender, first name, and what time zone and state/province do you live in?

Can you meet 100% of our raids (Wed/Thu/Mon 8:30pm-12:30am Eastern? (invites go out around 8:20pm, and a raid can be extended up to 12:45am on occasion)

Do you foresee anything preventing you from dedicating 100% to our raids? Such as military branches, work, school, or family?

What do you wish to gain out of joining Static? What do you bring to the table that someone else may not be able to?

The Informational Section

How far did you progress in previous expansions, WAS IT RELEVANT (i.e. did you clear it before another tier of content was released), and on which character (Specific dates/achievements and an armory link are preferred, as people can easily lie about this part)?

What is your current progression in Mists of Pandaria?

Where do you currently stand in the legendary questline?

What kind of food, potions, flasks, and other consumables do you bring to each raid?

Breaking Down Your Character

We need to see a WOL report from one of your previous raid nights:

We need to see a screen shot or a video of your UI DURING RAID COMBAT, not sitting around in Orgrimmar (hint, LFR works wonders):

Assuming you run your own sims, explain your process of optimization, AND the resources you use to remain at the top of your game:

With 25 man raids, spots are very competitive and generally are given to the highest performing players (barring raid comps). Are you willing to compete for your spot? Are you willing to sit at times? We treat our recruits with respect and we believe skill is always greater than seniority.

With that being said, we HIGHLY value people who can play ALL specs of their class. Do you feel you're capable of performing at this level? If not, why?

Those Questions That Just Have To Be Answered

What PC hardware do you currently use for 25 man raiding (CPU, GPU, RAM, etc.)?

Post an image of a speedtest.net result with the host server being in Chicago (since that is where Arthas is hosted):

Have you ever used Mumble? If not, please be aware that we use it, and you'll be required to use it on every raid night.

Do you have a WORKING microphone that gives ZERO feedback? If you blast our ears in Mumble, we probably will not accept you.

What type of authenticator do you use to protect your account? Is it on your phone or a standalone device? Be aware that our guild ranks REQUIRE this device, and you CANNOT be promoted without one due to in-game requirements.

What is the earliest date you can transfer to Arthas? Are you SURE of this date?

If you could pick a time and date to talk to us in Mumble, when would that be?

Anything else you wish to add?
