.1. In game name: John Mercer

2. Age: 30

3 Character skills ( Magic, Melee/archery, Crafting? ) GS Mastery 35, Sharpshooter 56, Fire 52, Air 30, Earth 39, WC 22

4 Play style ( Mage, Destroyer, Hybrid, Other? ) Id perfer to be a Hybrid although I watch alot of Uziks youtube videos and I do enjoy the way he plays. I believe its a destroyer but I am not sure.

5 How long have you been playing DF? ( Other clans you have been in, etc. ) This will be my 3rd go at DF. I have been in a few clans. Last one was DHoV or Dark Hand of Valor. But this was some time ago. Aprox 2 years have passed since my last playtime.

6 About you ( Gaming history, play schedule, work or whatever else you want to share with us ) I am a very avid gamer. I enjoy FPS mostly but ive played MMO's ranging from EQ/EQ2, WoW, Warhammer, EvE Online, Etc. I work the morning shifts 9-5 Mon-Fri. I live on the East coast in Georgia so Im not sure how that will effect my online time with the rest of the clan. I enjoy meeting new people, I am a very likeable guy, and im also ex-military so I have loyalty built in. Ive never left a clan without good reason. And Ive never left a clan without being in it for some time.

7 What you are looking for in clan/what we can offer you? I will be returning to DF in some what of a noob state, so paitence would be first and foremost with any clan I join. Teamwork, good communication, and a sense of humor would be next. I dont join to be bossed around, I will do whatever is asked, just ask dont tell me. And I want to have a good damn time. Im tired of roaming around alone. Give me some action.

I will be checking back on this application regularly so if you wish to ask any questions of me please feel free. I am an open book. Thank you for your time.

Hey John. I feel like we have run into each other IG before. How'd you hear about us?

Hey Pax,

Im afraid you might have this poor Dwarf mistaken. I have not enjoyed the company of DF in some time now. Today actually was the first time my guy has logged in since DHoV occupied Aputan. Not sure if that gives you any idea but close to 2 years.

I heard about Absolution through Uzik. Not to say we are friends or anything. I subscribe to his channel on youtube and I figured I would look you guys up on the forums. I found the post in the NA-1 Recruitment section, hopped on my character long enough to get his stats, and applied. I know it sounds silly, but I saw a video Uzik posted, on his way out of a dungeon he happened upon a low lvl character, he killed him, rival clan/alliance. But afterwards revivied him, healed him, and went on his way. That never happened when I played. I think thats mainly why I want to apply.

P.S I notice you have an EvE character aswell. Ive been playing that game since the days of BoB. I was co-founder of Ascended Frontier. A long time ago. I still play now and then. But not much.

I'm Trammie Surprise and if you don't like that well to bad.

Ah, that explains much. I was living in Tiquiya at the time with Calamitous.

I've an EvE noob -- started playing in December. I like it a lot, plus it makes a nice "second MMO".

Well if there is anything else you need. Any other questions you would like answered please feel free to ask.

And even if your a noob in EvE you can still do alot. I enjoyed it for a long time but ive seen many of my friends quit, alliances fall, territories conqured. Time for some fun in another game. Hopefully

If you need me I will be in game for awhile. Gonna try and get a feel for the game again. Im rusty as hell.

I assumed you app'd up in game. Come on down to SW.

John, what branch? I was army.

I was in the Air Force. From 2000-2006. Stationed at Eielson AFB Alaska.

Army 2003_2007. Stationed Baumholder, Germany/camp liberty Iraq.

What can I say, I'm kinda a big deal. I also have a soft spot for new players ; )

I was deployed 4 times to the desert. Al Jabar, 2x Bahgram, and Baghdad Internation Airport the day we took it. That shit was scary. And I joined the AF to not get shot at. Lol

Uzik you seem like a pretty cool dude. Atleast on video. And I feel like a complete noob at DF again.

Nice application John, dont let Uzik fool you, the guys a fucking douche bag of the highest order hehe.

If Beleg or another officer hasnt got you in yet then Ill do it today.

It's all smoke and mirrors. Fact.

Thank you all very much. I know this will be a good fit for me. Now all I have to do is actually get better. Ive been looking at the keybindings page on your site. And I got to say I am a little lost. Ive used scripts before but this seems to be a little bit more complicated due to the amount of actions each key can do. And my characters lack of spells/skills currently.

I think using a script will help me increase my skill level. But at the same time I am very very new again.
