7.) Please explain why you would like to join ToA.

- When I used to play GW1 a lot I used to love doing speed clears and having a very highly organized group. To be honest I'm just tired of running with people who suck at the game and I'm looking for much more advanced play. A place where I can really enjoy playing the game instead of pulling my hair out when people do stupid things or can't keep up in a dungeon and I  have to waste excruciating amounts of time teaching.

8.) How did you hear about ToA? Do you know anyone in ToA? Please list their name(s).

- My friend Marz from FOMJ who is now currently in ToA and also from Guild Wars 1.

9.) Do you have Teamspeak and a headset with microphone?

- Yes I have Teamspeak and Yes I have a headset with a microphone.

10.) How often do you play Guild Wars 2? Hours per day? Days per week?

- I play GW2 nearly every day. I took a break recently, but that was to deal with serious personal issues.
- I play for around 4-5 hours a day.
- 5-7 days a week.

11.) Did you play Guild Wars 1? (If Yes, please tell us your character names and what guilds you were in.)

- Yes I played Guild Wars 1
- My character names were Aires Reign and various others (on my first account)
- My character names were Zombie Liz and various others (on my second account) 
- I was in several different guilds over the years as some built up and died, but there are two guilds that shine above the rest.
1. Scions Of Carver [SCAR]
2. [Yaay] - GvG/HA guild (Bronze - Top 10)

12.) Please tell us what is most important to you in a guild. Be specific.

- For me the most important thing in a guild is that the guild actively does things in-game. I've been in many guilds that advertise that they do things, but never actually get anything going. The other thing that is very important to me is the social quality of a guild. I've been in many guilds that have ghost-town-chats and empty voip servers and that's not something I'm ok with at all. I like active communication, especially over voip. I think if people get on voip it really brings the guild together. Other than that I feel that an active guild is also very important to me, but that's more obvious.

13.) Any additional comments you would like to add.

- I just did some runs with the guild today after being invited by Marz (6/19/13) and I wanted to add that I really enjoyed the runs and it was nice being with people who were talented and didn't waste time trying to abuse exploits and generally was very organized.

I did 4 dungeon runs with Liz last night. 2 CoE paths and 2 SE paths. All of them were smooth. Liz brought her guardian and was able to roll any weapon swap and perform any task that was needed.
others in the run were Perf, Lisa and Marz

+1
...technically the trial is already done.

Strong app And good reference.  If Mitch says your good then that's good enough for me!  Plus 1

SCAR was a good guild

+1

sounds great +1

If alby gives you a +1 then you must be good, or you were never in Zraw...

either way sounds good /invite

Another Colorado person +1 

Did a CoF run earlier with 'em and it was pretty good.. Few hiccups but its okay.

is that FOMJ -The Followers of Master Jack? and the guild leader is Alice of the Twist? just curious.... AotT was a guildie back in the old days of GW1.

+1 app looks good, lots of positive feedback.

Yeah that's Twist, I met him back in GW1 about almost three years ago. We've been decent friends since and hang out a lot.  I joined FOMJ's alliance after SCAR died and I had my own guild running towards the end days of GW1. We played together in GW1 up until the release of GW2 and we both made our guilds in GW2 and I spent most of my time in his guild as a co-leader. Though he's become increasingly busy and he hasn't had much time to manage the guild so it's falling out and I came to ToA looking for a place to do stuff since FOMJ is pretty much dead for the time being. He's told me that he used to know Mitch. Then Marz applied to ToA and after inviting me on a run with Mitch, Perf, Lisa and him I really liked how ToA runs things and it reminded me a lot of my old days in SCAR so I decided to apply myself.

Marz and Liz may just be the first of many to come to us from Aott's guild. I respect Aott, he was a fun guy. 
I would welcome any hardcore players from FOMJ that are interested in some high level content with us.

I'll definitely let anyone know that I know from FOMJ who is interested where they can apply.

I spent a majority of the morning this morning doing a lot of Dungeon Runs (CoE and CM) then I did a fractal level 20 run with MarZ, Matti, Rhokk. I did a guild rush and a guild bounty today with a bunch of other people on TS.

All of the runs went pretty smooth, spare our CM run, because only Matti and I had really done it and it had been months for both us so were both a little rusty as to where to go. On the CM run I also invited a friend of mine to fill an empty spot and that allowed us to get through the part we were stuck at.

Whereas it seems you've proven your skill and abilities I have been away so I'm curious to what actual gear and traits you are running on your guard and necro?

My Guardian is full Knights/Soldier Runes with 0/0/30/30/10 and Altruistic Healing

My Necro is full Rampager's 30/30/0/0/10 -- My Necro needs to be re-speced a bit, especially come Tuesday I think I will look over everything on my Necro, Ele and Guardian.

Did a few dungeon runs yesterday and some fractals. Some of the runs went okay, though I'm not very impressed with myself. I guess I was just having a bad day, seems like I kept screwing up. I think I did CoF, SE, Fractals 22 and 24... The fractals 24 I had a big oops forgetting to equip my AR. Made me feel pretty dumb and I apologize to the people on the run with me for making it just that much harder. The other dungeons I made a couple mistakes and I was pretty frustrated with myself.

I think it was just a bad day, usually I don't play so terribly.

Yesterday was a much better day for me as far as dungeon runs goes. I did CoE Path 1 and 3 with Mitch, Matti, Lisa, and Ava. I feel that they went fairly smooth and that I did my job.

After that I did SE Path 1 and 3, those also went fairly smooth and I feel that I did my job and I didn't mess up at all. I did mess up one time, putting down a wall too early, because I misunderstood Mitch, but luckily it still worked out and we were able to laugh it off.

Done plenty of CoE since I've been in ToA. I'm loving that dungeon quite a bit. Did Path 1 and 3 tonight with Chucks and a couple other people, can't recall names (a bit late) I had fun, fairly smooth runs (:
