Application Letter:

Do not remove

To the Master and Officers of the company known as Rhyme and Punishment

Many many years ago, as a young man, soon after I had left my Order's monastery to travel and learn, I met a paladin. She was old and badly scarred, and she had but one ear. I stayed with her to care for her, because it was clear she was nearing the end of her days. She told of many things, of her guild, The Keepers of the Light, her marriage to Asghan and her friendship with Serendipity and the great city of Stormwind and of a great feud with the orc named Mononmakh. I conceived a desire to travel to see this place. When she passed away I buried her high in the mountains overlooking the Sholozar basin. I journeyed for many years, and taught in the forests of Pandaria, but ever my path drew me closer ... until I arrived finally in Stormwind. and now I seek audience with those of whom she spoke so highly.

Do not remove

I was one of the first members of the Keepers of the Light, an RP guild on Moonglade (started around the time of the opening of the Gates of Silithus). Originally a rogue, when the Keepers disbanded, I moved to Darkmoon and joined the Vanguard of Valor and made several RP machinima of the guild. When the guild leadership changed i returned to Moonglade and restarted regular playing. I have tanked as a warrior in WoTLK (10 mans) and healed as a paladin (WoTLK 10 mans).

Your favourite WoW area, and why?:

Do not remove

Northrend, I loved the Fjord, its atmosphere, the music, the topology (big thing with me, I do some 3D world building and world map making). Pretty impressed with Pandaria, the Jade Forest too

Your fondest RP memory:

Do not remove

three: a massive multi guild RP back in pre BC days when Cinessa and Asghan got married at the Cathedral and a load of hungarian guilds turned up, must have been 40 or 50 RPers there
and an outstanding RP run through Karazhan with the Vanguard, we took it slow as made it as real as possible, totally in character (though we did the raid instructions via sound)
plus the annual Moonglade fair down at tanaris, cross faction RP was great and I still think the orc Monomakh was one of the best RPers around

Why did you choose Rhyme and Punishment?:

Do not remove

I remember them as one of the best RP guilds in Moonglade, along with the KotL and the Cathedral and the Mithril Guard (who were huge in those days)

Why do you think that we should invite you as a guild member?:

Do not remove

because I take guild responsibilities seriously and I am pretty laid back and easy to get on with

Are you willing to attend guild meetings?: Yes

Are you willing to attend guild RP events?: Yes

Any thoughts or questions you wish to ask the guild?:

Do not remove

I am not a DPS technician - for me WoW is not about mad rampant gearing - I take it slow and enjoy it .. I dont rush so I am always low in DPS and havent done any dungeons or raids in a group since WotLK and I miss that aspect - but got so fed up with loud mouthed rude a*holes in the randoms I gave up. I was a good tank and healer, but i am a bit slow at DPS and need supportive friends around me - especially as I am still getting up to speed with Legion

saukendar

I was, yes - actually the names Shoka and Saukendar refer to the same person in one of my favourite fantasy books, the Paladin, by CJ Cherryh. There are two central characters, the reclusive swordmaster, known as Saukendar, nicknamed Shoka, who refuses all requests to train an apprentice, and the girl Taizu who persuades him to take her as an apprentice.
I still have Saukendar kicking around at level 80ish, but when I returned to WoW after Pandaria, I rolled a monk and levelled him from scratch, somewhat nostalgic journey as it happened

Okee, so I've had a proper read now. Very cool application. And an interesting bit of history behind the names! I've been meaning to read Foreigner for a few years :Q

That said, things are very quiet for us at the moment.... I thought I'd better warn you of this. Are you ok with that? You could be a bit lonely at times...

quiet

I can handle quiet, monks usually can :P
I like it RnP is still around after all this time, longevity counts in my book and its not like I am a mad cap dungeon runner with no patience.

but someone needs to reach out to me cos I aint seen anyone for about a week to invite me :(
