View Full Version : Winsome's Application to Heroes of the Command


Winsome
Sep 20, 2005, @ 03:51 PM
Name: Winsome
Race: Human
Class: Priest (Shadow Spec)
Level: 60
Current Guild: Bushido
Profession: 300 Tailoring | 293 Enchanting

Other: Honored with Thorium Brotherhood; a handful of rare patterns/enchants (such as Felcloth Gloves)

Keys/Attunement: All raid instances other than BWL. All normal instances other than UBRS.

Background Information:

I'm your friendly neighborhood Shadow Mage. I have attended every HotC Molten Core run other than last Sunday night and am an annoying and regular presence on these boards. I won't be online tomorrow night (which means, of course, awesome Priest gear will drop), but I will be there both Friday and Sunday.

I have resigned my position of Priest officer with Bushido. Although I love Bushido (and will continue to keep my alts there and devote significant play time to their well-being), I have had to face the reality that Winsome has become a raiding character. When she isn't actually raiding, she is doing things to be a better raider (eg, farming those damn demonic runes in Felwood last night). As such, it is unfair to both Bushido to claim membership (when I'm not really contributing) and to HotC to not claim membership (when I'm coming on your runs and maybe winning stuff someday, somehow).

As you all know, I have demonstrated a willingness to "take one for the team," whether farming mats, respeccing, or devoting myself to regular raid attendence. I'd also like to think that I'm a strong leader and would like to attempt to organize smaller runs if people are interested (though I should be upfront - I'm not really bucking for officer here. More like "freelance raid leader").

I'm generally found online after 9:00 p.m. I rarely play earier, due to family commitments. I sometimes have limited playtime on the weekends (when baby is napping), but I generally have to log if the little fellow wakes up. All told, Winsome is probably on about 4 nights a weeek - and most of those she's raiding either the Core, Zul Gurub, or random places to get geared up.

What I have to offer:

High level enchanting and tailoring
Strong leadership skills
Pretty damn good healing, for a Shadow Wench
Unbelievable face-melting
A strong love of every instance. I'll do ANY PvE.
Decent reputation with various factions.
Extremely reliable.

I, of course, am perfectly happy to live with LGP, even if I am a constant yapper and "suggestion maker."

Personal Goals I Hope to Fulfill:

Get on the Douche List

Closing Statement

I don't join HotC lightly, and I won't pretend that I have my reservations about leaving Unity/Bushido. But I've met some great people here and I hope to keep my great friends in Unity. In my mind, what guild tag you wear is less important than the way you conduct yourself in game. I ask to join you as a sign of my loyalty to you as a member, and to offer to contribute and "give back" in exchange for your kind inclusion on your runs. I think that's only fair. But I'll probably be the same ol' Winsome as always. Meaning I will still outdamage Cathzel like it is my JOB, and I'll still hang with the 'locks, 'cause those goody-goody Priests make me cringe.

I hope you will consider my application.

the doucheitude is strong with this one. I thought you were hoping for open censure though. Perhaps with time we can help you realize your goals.

Besides, you actually have to win stuff before you can market yourself effectively to other guilds, so lets work on it.

I am in support of this application, Winsome is a team player who graciously stepped into the needed and very effective to date role of research shadow priest for 1.7 and has been a omnipresent raider for our MC efforts.

Haha I bumped into Winsome swiming in the seas of Azshara and I was thinking to myself, dude when is that dude going to defect.

Its about God damn friggen time.

Welcome Winsome.

PS Please come to MC Wednesday I dropped from 3rd in damage with you, to 9th without you. Our main goal: De-throne Thibz.

Ah someone to keep my on my toes during MC.

I moved down the DPS bracket on the last raid, I spent 2 bossfights eating dirt.

Still, came in 4th out damaging all the rogues! \m/!!!

Alas, I cannot raid on Wednesday (packing the wife and kid off to Belgium).

On the flip side, I can make both Friday AND Sunday (normally, I couldn't make the early start time on Sundays). So it all balances out.

It also gives me time to finish my Felhart Gloves. Thib, since the last run (where I placed 2nd on the damage meters - ahead of you <ahem>), I will have added another +63 shadow damage.

It won't even be close this time, dirt nap or no . . .

Winsome will receive his /Ginvite tonight; he's run with us for well over a month, and deserves the invite.
