The application submitted by Voicy is as follows:

I enjoyed reading this app.

[whitemikki]

hmmm. for me this app was lacking the serious to back up the jokes.

In essence RMWP is a Raiding guild so I will look at this app in that sense. You Rogue is OK geared, nothing special but nothing that will hold the team back if you apply as much affort to raiding than you do to wirting apps.

You head Meta is all wrong and there are some points in the wrong place in your spec and you gemming isnt perfect....but let me elaborate a little as to why.......

The meta should be the Agil + increased Crit. You have the Attack Power and Run speed. You will notice an increase with swapping instantly. The increased run speed sounds great but you are getting it the wrong way.

You Talents are a little wrong (but better than most Mut Rogues tbh) you dont need Quick Recovery as you Specials WONT miss due to the fact you are over the special attack hit cap. Yes it helps with Healing but lets be honest the Healers have enough mana to spare in LK.
Instead spend the points in Fleet Footed and you get you speed increase.

AND last I would drop the Agi/Stam gems and just stack Haste or AP depending on what the spreadsheet seems to be favouring....at your gear level I think it is close so just go Haste and as your gear inproves it will be the go to gem.

Overall I loke the app and hope you get it.

Regards

Mikki

Nice app, agree with what mikki says aboutyour gear and spec mate but that's easy enougth to sort out

I like the time you've spent filling out the app ( ok maybe a bit too much tounge in cheek)

but I'm willing to say yes to a trial

couple of things you need to agree to though, we save ourselves for the icc 25 guild runs but if you can't make then you need approval off an officer to pug

Also what are your feelings on pali's

a) never trust the gits

b) nothing better than seeing a dead one

c) don't know, never speak to the sods

d) they are useful, I need somewhere to dump my agro and a pali is just so right for tricks

e) I hate them, they stole my pet goat

f) all of the above

so yes to trial, you need two yes or no's from officers

OK .... I guess even though you are a rogue... gonna have to try and overlook that.... you do after all get Lep drunk.

In addition from what I understand, they amount of fear and loathing generated during the great "stranglethorn Ganking" debate was substantially reduced though your debating and ambassadorial skills. Nice to have that - we are a diverse guild with people from all over the world, different cultures and languages - it is essential for us to be able to get on with everyone.... or at least tolerate those who we do not get on with.

I for one tolerate certain rogues. (beware we have real bad apples here - ignore the old farts who do not respect the awesome gleaming shining goodness that is inherit in all Paladins)

On a serious note. Glad you applied - enjoy your sense of humor. We are struggling at the moment with getting raids together - lots of tired bored raiders, waiting for Cata.

Would be great to have you on a trial.

Yes vote from me.

[whitemikki]

Gratz mate. Just make sure you make those few changes mate you will benefit greatly and I wont have to abuse you when I return to the game

Hi there, enjoyed reading your application more information than we are probably used too....but as was said already very much tounge in cheek. That said I think a good sense of humour will help you get along with the rest of us

Im inactive at the moment but hope to get back in time for the new expansion...wish you well for your trial and welcome to RMWP.

*hic* Sorry, Voicy got me pissed and I only saw this application now.

Voicy is like an Oreo of goodness. Hooray, he is finally in the pinks!

[Voicy]

Hi friends and W1z4rd

Thank you kindly for the welcome and especially for the feedback on my armory link, Mikki and dacce.

I agree that my spec and gear is nowhere near top notch. I stopped playing WoW in March, so my gear is quite dated and is ICC-intro-level at best. You'll notice I've only raided in the 1st wing and most of my gear is emblem-bought anyway.

I was toying with my spec around the cookie-cutter build at that time to see what delivered results and I was in the process of changing my gems to haste/AP. I'm not surprised that there are mismatched stats on there, as I most likely was waiting to upgrade items rather than regem them immediately. I was also running into a funds issue or got side tracked by XKCD online comics. I generally base my tinkering on the WoWhead forums' rogue section and go by their stickies and spreadsheets to see what works well.

Regarding the lack of raiding potential seriousnessness , I don't quite believe in selling myself. Anyone can throw a sales pitch to BS themselves into an organization. I prefer being judged on my actions. I come from a background of guild loyalty and mutual respect, while still being able to laugh at yourself - but not to the extent where it becomes a liability to others. (Grem, this does not mean I won't put tricks on you when we've downed a boss and running out past some trash mobs. :P )

But yeah, I enjoy progression runs and wiping on the same boss again and again until we finally kicked him in the panty. I don't take myself seriously at all, but I do respect others enough not to let it impact them negatively. Stuffing around is all fun and games until you pay for the flasks and fish feast. I used to thrive on being the top dps'er/interrupter in a raid and tuning my stats to stay there. Obviously it'll take me a while to be competitive again, BUUUT, I don't expect a free ride to epic lewtz and gear filled with awesomesauce from the pinks. That's not how I /roll.

Regarding raiding in general, I'm not a lewtwh0re and my motto has always been "If it benefits the guild, it benefits me." That refers to passing on loot that someone else has been after for a long time, giving up slots to get the best group competition going and respeccing 8 times a week to help my mates get the 'Less-Rabi' achievement even though real rogues don't spec combat.

I moved into a new place last week and Monday night was my 1st time back on WoW in 6 months. I did not want to sign myself up as an über-raider since I still need to sort out pesky addons and (as per last night's TBC raid lag) I have no idea how this new connection will hold up in raids. If I'm (read: my connection) unreliable then I'd rather not sign up for raids than let you fine folks down.

Dacc, regarding pallies...

They are the rock to my scissors...the day I have something good to say about pallies is the day I'm in a raid with 6 of them and I DON'T have to ask for BoM.

Before I end my essay, Bizzmark, just to add a bit about myself after reading your comment about the diversity of the guild:

I'm born and raised in RSA, but I've lived in Germany for a year back in '01, so mein Deutsch ist leider nicht mehr so genial wie vorher (tl;dr: my german sucks), I've also been around Scandanavia and Italy area, though I will not pretend to be well versed in any of those languages.

Hope to see you folks around!

Well they DID ask to supply "the serious to back up the jokes. "

It's been good fun to go Pillage-a-Village™ with the pinks so far, but for some reason I lag out completely in Sunwell everytime. My connection has PMS, I'm sure of it.

[DrakanMugabe]

haha you lolfag, good to see u in the guild. i may start playing again!

Voicy is a good friend. He drinks Soda in my bar! The only sober customer amoungst the drunken legions. And he talks wow to girls. So yeah.. you know where im going with this. :D

[Voicy]

Hey team!

I'd just like to thank the pinks for the past 4 weeks of putting up with my constant high pings and DC's. It's been quite an interesting road...

I've enjoyed getting to know you all (except the Pallies) thus far and I hope I haven't left too bad a taste in your mouths yet. If that is the case, I would advise you to wash it out with some of Bizzmark's awesome cake of awesomeness.

I'd like to thank the following kind folk for bearing with me: (that's Latin for "Blame the following guys for letting this nubcake in")

Lepetiet & Grem for hounding me to make an app.
Bizzmark for not putting me on ignore after pug runs with the pinks.
Dacce for the yes vote of confidence.
Mikki for the gear/spec advice.
Every single pink who put up with my DC issues in hc's, pvp & raids.
and last, but probably also least...Muggels for the cream soda in his bar. :D
