ApplicationWhat is your first name? Peter Please tell us your age and location. 23, Upstate NY In a few sentences, please tell us about yourself as a person. I graduated from college last year and am currently working in the restaurant business. I plan to return to school in the near future for a business degree. i enjoy gaming but also getting outside and playing some golf in the summer In a few sentences, tell us about yourself as a gamer. For example, what is your gaming history? got my first computer and started lanning with friends in high school. CS v1.4, DotA v. 5.84b ;) as well as WC3 and bunches of other games. In college I played mostly CS: Source until i was introduced to WoW in 2007. I played on and off based on my work and academic schedule but did raid a significant amount in BC, our ten man guild loved kara and ZA but i struggled between wanting to stay with them and move on to 25 man content, which i eventually did, progressing a bit through MH, SSC and TK before pretty much quitting the game due to moving overseas for a period of time. Last summer i got back into WotLK, quickly leveled to 80 and jumped right into raiding. Again i found myself stuck in a guild with a really great group of people that struggled to make much progress. we did however quickly get naxx on farm and progress up to keepers in ulduar before ToC came out. Around that time i was unable to raid much (due to working nights) and my idiot roomate put my account info into some scammer website that claimed to "rate you character" or something and the account was hacked. i appealed to blizzard but honestly wasn't too upset, i was burned out from playing 40 hours a week and was ready to take a break from the game. now, almost a year later i am excited to jump back in and get into a successful, mature raiding guild for cataclysm. i will have to re-roll, which i am kind of looking forward to actually.
Just to clarify, without being too immodest i consider myself very good at this game. I dont have the greatest in-game resume but thats due to limitations on being able to play consistently. i know that i am close to maximizing my dps on boss fights, i dont stand in the fire, and very rarely find myself feeling uncomfortable or unsure what to do while raiding. What are you looking for in the Tribe community? first and foremost a raiding guild that plays professionally, where everyone takes responsibility for playing their class not necessarily perfectly but at least knowledgeably. i find that playing with better players makes me work that much harder to get better. i do also play wow for the social aspect, so i would like to see active guild forums, gchat, and a lively vent. What will you bring to the Tribe community? i have an extremely high knowledge of my class, which i have played exclusively since 2007 (Shadow priest) and also a very good knowledge of both my off specs. even when i am away from the game i consistently check both the blizzard priest boards and shadowpriest.com. I spend alot of time researching and customizing addons to ensure that i am able to play to the best of my ability. i am very generous in game and really enjoy helping other guild members, whether with instance runs, add ons or anything else i can think of. i am fairly outgoing in vent and chat and enjoy just having fun with the game, especially when it comes to things liked farming content and heroic runs. To give us an idea of your sense of humor, tell us a joke! the other day at the bakery where i work a lady asked "whats in your iced coffee?" and i thought that was hilarious, cause obviously its ice and coffee, i mean come on people. So on the board where our specialty coffee drinks are listed i wrote "NEW: ICED COFFEE! House brewed coffee chilled on-site, poured over frozen ice cubes in a 20oz cup made from plastic". just to clear up any future confusion ;) What game(s) are you interested in playing? League of Legends
World of Warcraft

Tell us about any characters you have, or plan to have, in those games. I will be leveling a priest in WoW to raid as shadow. i dont have any problems changing specs as the situation dictates, and enjoy healing from time to time just to change things up but i need to stress that shadow is my primary spec.
I play CS: Source pretty consistently, not with any particular guild now, most friends and the gungame mod. Tribe has a variety of players with a variety of interests. What are your interests in these games? Raiding? Scenarios / Battlegrounds? PvP? PvE? etc... 100% raiding. i do also enjoy 5-mans, but i consider that under the raiding/pve umbrella. i have no interest whatsoever in pvp, and nothing made me happier than trying to get a guild run for the heroic daily and see everyone in BG's ;)
i also like experimenting with the mechanics of my class and trying to solo old raid bosses, world NPC's and stuff like that. You are out grinding mobs when a really nice piece of gear for a different class drops, do you: Put it in the guild vault On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being very casual, and 10 being very hardcore what is your ATTITUDE? 8 How active of a gamer do you consider yourself to be? How many hours per week do you estimate you play? when i am playing wow i will probably play over 40 hours/week until i hit the level cap. then i average 2-3 hours a day outside of raids for dailies, crafting, AH, etc.
I gave myself an 8 for attitude but i concieve of it this way: personally i hold myself to a very high standard and try to do everything in game and out to ensure i play as well as possible. however i dont feel comfortable holding everyone else to that standard so you wont see me yelling in vent or bitching about someone else's gear/rotation/dps etc. so in that sense i am fairly relaxed but when i play, i put everything i have into being the best shadowpriest possible.
