Ill's Application

[Ill]

Good day

Basically we're a small group of Canadian gamers (3 active a 4th on hold while moving into new house), at least 2 of us are looking to join myrm. snaf's app is to soon follow and probably the rest soon after.

I'm applying because we hoped to run this game with just the few of us but it's quickly becoming apparent as 3 players you can only go so far before you hit significant limitations.. unlike Battlefield BC where we pwn.

2 of us played beta for a couple of months before release the other 2 started release day so our learning curve has had to be very quick however we feel we have accomplished a lot with just a few of us in a short time.

My play times are 30-60 hours per week generally during the day 9am-5pm eastern and two to four evenings a week + weekends. (I own a business so i don't really work much right now heh but i'm not an old balls senior citizen gamer either).

Been MMO PVP gaming since UO release day and most games between UO and MO.. almost always pvp focused.


My Characters:

Ill (my main): Mage/Tamer aka healer/horse tamer bot
-maxed out mage all magic related spells at 100, taming and creature control approx 95 as well.

Warrior/Mage hybrid
-maxed out all primaries just reading secondary books. Swords blocking def stance off stance anatomy, 57 ecu (locked) 80 mental offensive (locked), etc etc, interesting build more of a concept build due to frustration with mage's inability to 1v1 effectively vs warriors.

Armorsmith
-Maxed out all armor related Lores, maxed out all skills from padded armor up including both plates.

Weaponsmith
-maxed out spears, swords, daggers, poleaxes, side blades, axes and all related material lores (tungsteel just book so far).

Slag Hauler 1 - main slag hauler
-makes up to tungsteel (was ready to produce steel and tungsteel within 7 days of release with only 4 friends active in game, of course couldn't make steel at the time bugged or whatever). This char is close to maxed in all skills up to and required to produce steel very efficiently. Furnace, Natorus, Fab, Attractor, Grinder, etc

Slag Hauler 2
-Located in meduli for the manufacturing of saburra related materials, saburra powder, malachite, etc

Slag Hauler 3
-Located in Fabernum for the manufacturing of Calx related materials Coal/Coke, etc.

PVP vs myrm has been limited as i don't like to lose and until i worked out how to make effective weapons and armor i've spent almost all my time testing. Only real fight vs myrm i can recall at this time is one outside Morin Khur where i landed half a dozen mind blasts and thunder strikes on Godly and Odie while i tried to talk 10 other pussy blue's just standing there into having the balls to push forward... which by then Shara and 6 other myrms came barreling over the hill and put a swift end to me, and my bull horses life and all the pussy blues standing there. (it was like a BF game where your entire team is snipers just standing there at the back of the field.. just awful).

Hows that for a long ass app. Excuse typos was typed very quickly.

PS i was also the proud owner of the name Godly and GODLY after the last few server wipes.. lol sorry Godly it was drunkin jokes and i intended on hooking up in IRC to give them back to you but with all the glitchiness in those wipes i basically just played Battlefield BC while i waited for release.

PPS really pumped for a fair 1v1 pvp vs myrm or 2v2 snaf and I vs whoever... hehe its worth submitting an app just for that. lol.. Ride the adrenaline wave its the best buzz out there, first ones free.

[Godly]

Perfect app, sounds like you're exactly what we're looking for.

I'll PM you the vent info soon and we'll test you.

[Odie]

[Ill]

oi am i ever fuckin hung over right now... i will be back in an hour. Look forward to testing as soon as the room stops spinning i'm good.

[Mitten]

where from canada

[Ill]

Waterloo area home of the blackberry... heh. you?

[ACHILLES]

I read teh first part of the app excluding the lower half that included your characters and what not.  My experience with you has been not good.  Every time I'd engage you to fight, even when you had players around you to help, you would pussy out and run.  Specifically I'm remembering an occasion behind Morin Khur as you ran down the ramp towards Toxaii and I was chasing your ass.  I then proceeded to still kill you at some point... I don't remember exactly how.  Anyways, I haven't seen previously in your gaming experience how you have proven that you are Myrm material, but perhaps I can be proven wrong in the future.

I am voting AGAINST Acceptance for this application until I see something other than what I spoke of above.

[ACHILLES]

I just went back and read the rest of your application.  Looks like you certainly have your shit together in game and have characters ready to go, but still I'd like to see Myrm material and not just a guy who spends a lot of time on his alts.

[Ill]

ACHILLES when you jumped me that was very soon after release and i had focused on my Slag Hauler's and crafters up to that point and was simply moving materials from toxai to morin khur... and that was like 2-3 weeks after release i haven't even been to Toxai since the first few days of release.

One time i attempted to engage you in battle and after about 30 attempts to hit you with a spell (it was Ill my mage maybe 25% built and this was before they fixed LOS) i couldn't get LOS on the ramp down to toxai... i went down the ramp hoping you'd follow to more level ground but had NO CLUE the guard zone started on the ramp... lol you called guards on me and the guards killed me not you. (but it was a smart move on your part i just didn't realize guard zone was so far over from toxai).

The other time you attempted to engage me i was 100% naked running to the stepe's horses to get taming up on Ill the mage... and you followed me for a good 50 miles from toxai down beside the water all the way into the stepes field and i typed "dood i have nothing on me waste of your time to follow" and finally you caught up and killed me (think i had 40 foot speed) at which time i was laughing cuz i had nothing on me and you just wasted 20 min of your day and i as i stood there with you wacking me with the spear if you recall i said "hope that was a good use of your time". hah..

But i agree we have never had a fight and anytime you engaged me i was either transporting gold from toxai to morin khur or the other way around building up my foundation characters. I haven't seen you once in game since i've actually had a combat character even more than 50% done.

I think there was one more time you engaged me but i was transporting 50 gold when i was newb and naked so i wasn't going to stick around to see how the fight would pan out.

We only started playing beta soon before release and this game is all about access to resources (armor, weapons, etc) and we knew nobody in game to help. therefore before i jumped into combat i needed to understand the mechanics of the game which is why in the early days i spent all my time getting to know those systems.. and you and badman were a burden to my systems because my 8 brownwood farmers were in toxai pounding out 50 gold every 4 hours (of actual server up time which could take all day) but all my crafters and main slag hauler were in morin khur. and yes most of my books were 50 gold (not reduced to 10 like now) at the time of building them.... so this was a very timely expensive process to level up so combat chars were on the back burner cuz they are easy to level up.

changed profile picture to some side boob.

well said.

  I remember that time in toxia.  I believe I had 25 gold on me.   We went to bottom
of toxia hill to trade it off. And attempt to fight, but by this time you called guards on ill.     I was going to defend my brother on this post, but I can see he has already justified the situation well enough.


 

[ACHILLES]

Ah yes I remember now.  Well I guess we'll see how you do with the others until I return home to play.

[Godly]

Ill, your activity lately has been pretty much nonexistant.

Are you still interested?

Need a response ASAP or this app will be denied.

[Ill]

respond... just started again last night after a week off due to strep throat.

[ACHILLES]

Officially accepted as an applicant, as I was talking to you vent today and you're pretty chill.  Not sure why your status hasn't been changed on the forums yet.  I look forward to seeing how you do in game.

Well I let him into vent 2 weeks ago to do his initial combat test to see if he was good enough to even be considered as an app and he dodged in order to wait for a friend who never appeared (for a 2v2) and then disappeared for 2 weeks.

Being chill wasn't the prerequesite to being accepted as an app.

[Ill]

hey i never dodged nobody invited for a combat test... was just waiting on snaf to get back in game.. however his project out of game is occupying all his time. I'm good for a combat test anytime. Lets get on it tomorrow if you want... i'm good to go.

[Ill]

in fact i've asked half a dozen times what a mage/healer combat test would be... rdy to go!!

[ACHILLES]

I suggest we do a 2 v 2 1 mage and melee vs another mage and melee.

[Godly]

Today we had a group fight 6 Myrm (3 myrm and 3 apps)  vs 8 or 9 AQ + 1 pet.

During the fight TheBadMan had the rhino pet hitting him for 20 damage a hit on top of taking spear hits.

I heard on vent that Ill accidentally hit him for 47 damage with a Thunderlash, which ultimately led to his death.

Needless to say we lost the fight pretty quickly, in the past we won many fights whilst being outnumbered by not making simple mistakes like this. Myrmidon is supposed to have the best of the best fighters... friendly fire is not acceptable.

Hopefully nothing like this happens again in the near future.

Yeah this was a bit bad at the time cause i had 2 guys + the pet on me at that particular time, and i died like perhaps 10-20 seconds later, but at least he healed me several times before that and kept me alive then. And if he would have hit TheMap as intended he would die cause i was on him. But he was good on the heals and made a mistake at the wrong time. Lets hope its better next time hehe

[Nightburn]

We only had 5 in that fight. Poseidon got lost before we engaged =/.

[Ill]

lol yeah that was a shit show over all.

I've been in a lot of fights along side myrm in the last few days and other then ganking some newbs in most real fights we have been out numbered and always won. Basically i've only been around to see 2 myrm deaths in heavily out numbered PVP.... other then the failed jump on that massive zerg we did with Outsiders.

I think the only difference is that you weren't at any of those, you must be the reason we failed.. LOL.. jokes.. in all seriousness i don't make excuses but i do have to say that was a tricky mage fight on the hill like that especially with a few of the mage changes in the patch from a few hours ago. I had like 30 line of sight fails and was basically button mashing at that point with a final successful shot as ThaBadMan came flying down the hill spear in hand right in front of TheMap... who by the way was low health, I had hit him with a couple Thunderlash's before that. Can't even say good fight cuz that was brutal all around and definitely not my normal play or likely most others that were there. I died trying to get a heal off on ThaBadMan instead of running away which would have been real easy as a 120 dexer with full stam.. but i was too late

Anyway look forward to more battles!

Love the heals dude, keep it up! And see you Mon / Tues have fun camping
