• Who are you?
Y'ello, I'll take a few seconds here for you to fully grasp the mighty effect of that choice of opening.
Now, I hope you're all in the mood to get to know me. As far as I'm concerned I'm a 20 year old student from Sweden, my life consists of four things right now: World of Warcraft, Slavoj Zizek, Film and Ricky Gervais. I love irony and I dislike when people ironize subjective prejudices, whom they later put into practice (e.g: A man joking with his friends that women should stand in the kitchen, yet still expects it practically). I've always had a weak spot for gaming, it started back in the Warcraft II days, and after that Blizzard lead the way. Starcraft, Diablo 2, more Diablo 2, Warcraft III and then finally, a few years before I lost my virginity, they gave me World of Warcraft. To be honest they gave me Starcraft II before I lost my virginity. I think. Don't really remember. I was drunk, she was even more drunk. Okay, I wasn't that drunk, she was though. Lucky me! But seriously now, I'm not auditioning for a porn film (if it would increase my chances of joining, I might consider it though). Anyway, where was I, right.. When World of Warcraft hit the shelves I was a lost cause, I've spent most of my adolescent hours in front of this hellish drug, and I still cherish alot of moments of it, oddly. Right now my playing hours range from 11 AM to 03 AM (server time), but I'll be starting my studies soon and that will narrow it down to 17:30 PM to 00:00, most likely. And I oughta mention I have a room mate who's also applying (the only reason I ought to is because he did, and I wouldn't want him to feel left out).
Character Details
I'm currently playing a holy paladin with the name of Earlogisman (I did not name him this, a friend of mine did, to my utter dismay), and my talent specc is 31/20/0 (http://goo.gl/hKoYZ), primarily designed for 5-man and PvP. Would respecc in a heartbeat if required, obviously. The professions that I have chosen, again, I havent chosen, the same dimwit of a friend who decided to name this paladin like some odd, lumberjack loner who locks his daughters in his cellar chose armorsmithing/mining for me, however that decision doesn't plague me as much.

Communication
I do speak english very fluently, naturally since it's not my first language it can get a bit rusty and I'm familiar with TeamSpeak, Vent, Skype and even Mumble. Out of the aforementioned, mumble's gotta be the worst. No offense to any die hard mumble-fans out there.
Raid Details
• Are you comfortable with loot council?
Yes, as long as there is a strong social connection and friendly environment in the guild I'd be happy to put my trust in those you've chosen mature enough to be responsible for such a model of distribution. I guess I'll come back to this subject later, on why we left our last guild.
My previous raiding experience goes a long way back, first back in vanilla I have experience of MC/BWL/AQ40 (up to twins) and killing Faerlina and whiping on Maexxna, although this was quite some time ago, I'm not fully confident in all of these bossfights in present day. In TBC I've got everything up to Shrine of Lost Souls in Black Temple. All this raiding was while playing my still dearly remembered restoration shaman.
I will now channel the spirit of Barack Obama to answer following questions, on behalf of me and Jonirl (he's sleeping so I haven't actually checked this with him, but what the heck!):
• Are you willing to download/use all the necessary addons that are requied to raid with us?
Yes, WE CAN!
Okay, that's actually the end of the Obama-channeling. Sorry to any die hard Obama-fans out there!
More seriously, I'm confident that, unless something really unexpected happens, I will be able to consistently attend the raid at the appointed hours and I also have absolutely no problem with not being picked for a raid. It would be rather hypocritical of me to acknowledge the looting system which depends on trusting the judgement of the appointed leaders, yet disagreeing with their choice of raid setup. I don't roll like that!
Final Exit
• What were your former guilds and why did you leave them?
On this server, the guild I was in prior to this was shockingly rude (and didn't have the slightest sense of humor or self-perception). Not that loot did matter much to me, it's always been about the social aspect of a guild which attracts me, but they did favor their IRL-friends with loot distribution, understandable yet unacceptable. (I actually haven't heard much about Final Exit's social aspect, and if you don't consider yourselves a warm, social guild I'll withdraw the application, no problems!). I left them because Jonirl had justifiably had enough of their total disregard for manners, social interaction and
any aspect of fun in gaming at all. They're a proper bunch of
Bob Koticks, those guys. (Seal Cub Clubbing Club)
I'd say I'd bring my dry sense of humor, an avid gamer with love for all forms of art. Even outsider art! (for example:
Jonirl - warrior - 60). Also if there's ever a gather in real life, I'd bring the charisma and all I'd want in return would a warm, social community, some muffins and a steady progressive view of raiding. I do take my gaming serious, however, I do think that everything you truly like should be treated with a slight touch of irony! (Now, it might come to pass that I do take jokes as far as joking about really offensive stuff, that does NOT mean I like either Fritzl nor the Holocaust)
Hope I'll hear from you. The last time I wrote one of these it were for an internet dating site. And I lied and said I was a girl, there. I hope I won't have to do that here to get the same acknowledgement!
