Preferred Name: Rosy Age: 36 Pronouns (he/she/they, etc.): She/Her Time Zone: PST Character Class: Ret Paladin for S4, though usually I main a BM Hunter (I'm also comfortable on Balance Druid) Game you will be playing with Remnants of Hope: WOW Official username for that game: drawhound#1447 (Bnet Tag) 1. Have you read the Code of Conduct and do you agree to follow it? Yes 2. How did you hear about The Remnants of Hope? If a member invited you please let us know who. I saw a recruitment post on Reddit in r/wowguilds. 3. If you could travel to any time or place where would it be? I'd love to experience the late 70s/early 80s for the music scene-- I'm a huge classic rock fan and would love to catch all the legendary concerts my parents and their contemporaries have stories of that I missed out on. I also think it'd be fun to experience the heyday of the arcade scene, even if I'm not very good at that sort of game-- hanging out with your friends playing video games has always been my favorite thing to do, and something about seeing the live reaction to them when they were still a fresh concept sounds fun. 4. Upon joining Remnants of Hope you are expected to maintain a mature and friendly demeanor to everyone in game. What does maturity mean to you and do you feel that you can remain civil even with the nastiest players in the game? Maturity to me is about empathy and knowing when to walk away when things get heated. Be respectful and pick your battles. Chances are if I'm gaming, I'm trying to relax! The last thing I want is to be angry, or to argue. I've got plenty of years of dealing with WoW's nastiest under my belt, and I've grown pretty content with disengaging early with a "Have a Nice Day" and making liberal use of the ignore button. 5. If you could have any superpower what would it be and why? Teleportation for sure. My entire family lives in a different state, and I sure would love to be able to visit them without setting aside crazy amounts of time and money! 6. Have you been in other guilds before; on this game or any others? If so,what was your favorite and least favorite things about them? Yes, the guild I was a part of in WoW before this died from inactivity (RIP Shadowlands), but its core crew was originally very active in the Antorus/early BFA days. I loved being able to join a common, reliable group and work together to try and problem solve and kill bosses. Being able to breeze through content and laugh was the best, but progging and celebrating a kill after a bunch of wipes was also very gratifying. I just love co-op game modes so much!! If I had to choose a least favorite thing, I have to admit the group's leaders were sometimes super unpleasant during raid times, especially in the later tiers as people started disappearing and desperation crept in as it got harder to fill groups. There was this extreme anger and impatience that seemed super prevalent, and resulted in a lot of yelling and threatening people over making simple mistakes while trying to clear a raid. I was lucky enough to never draw anyone's ire, but even hearing other people admonished so harshly for something so innocuous as making a miscalculation in a video game really started grating on me after a while. My memories are pretty tarnished with sounds of screaming over the laughter of the rest of us as we try to shake it off and go again. I just don't like being in comms when there's a lot of (negative) yelling happening. 7. What five adjectives, and 5 only, would you use to describe yourself? Chill, Creative, Sassy, Good-Humored, Confident 8. Have you ever held a leadership position in a gaming community? Would this be something you are interested in in the future? Never in a gaming community, no, but I've held them in social communities (namely on LiveJournal, really dating myself here, I know lol). I honestly am not looking to lead anything, especially as my work commitments sometimes pull me away from gaming as much as I'd like to be able to, but if I found some off time, the opportunity arose, and people felt I'd be a good fit then I might be willing. 9. Aside from gaming, what is one activity you enjoy? And what is one activity you dislike? I love drawing! I've always been an artistic kid. And I am not terribly athletic, but I especially dislike running, haha. 10. What are your personal strengths and weaknesses as a person (not in game)? My strengths: Determined, Dependable, Hopeful, Introspective, Empathetic, Creative, Honest, Realistically understand my own abilities, Love to Laugh My weaknesses: Impatient, Painfully Introverted, Addicted to my vices (currently trying to break a lifelong love affair with sugar, hoo-boy), Tendency to Tunnel Vision and put things off 11. Remnants of Hope houses players that enjoy all aspects of the game, Crafting, PVE, PVP, RP and Social. Which do you enjoy the most, and why? I'm big into PVE-- I'm a Mythic + fiend, and also really enjoy raiding (though finding a group large enough to raid can be a pain). I also just really enjoy being Social, so I'm down to do low pressure stuff like farming old group achievements with folks and whatnot. I just like being in disc and joking with friends. 12. The servers are closing down in 24 hours permanently. How would you like to spend the last bit of time in game? Hanging out in a giant group of friends in disc while we sit in game, laughing and reminiscing. Then I'd pick a place special to me to log my character out permanently-- probably Suramar, in a bed in one of the inns. I don't always do it, but I do love "tucking my characters in" by logging out while they're laying in a cozy bed. 13. What other games have you played and what did you like about them? Any games you are excitedly waiting for? I'm also a huge FFXIV fan, and though I don't think I'd be willing to move servers (I've got a small friends-only FC on Hyperion, and we have a medium house in Empyreum), I'd definitely be down to hang out/data center hop with FFXIV-playing community members if they'd have me! I also love PVE in it as well-- extremes are a perfect difficulty, and I've had interest in joining a static to progress savage, but I was afraid to do so because of my work schedule (though I've successfully pugged it a handful of times without much issue). I'm most comfortable on BRD, but I've dabbled in other things as well (MNK/SMN/WAR/WHM). My favorite thing about FFXIV is the story. I cannot even tell you how much certain moments in Endwalker enthralled me. Literally some of the most joy I've gotten out of consuming story-based media ever, haha. OBVIOUSLY I'm super excited for Dawntrail. And female Hrothgars!! I will not be fantasiaing my main (femroe gang rise up!!), but I'm definitely making a Hroth alt, even if she doesn't see much playtime. As for other games, I've been playing basically my whole life! I'm also a huge into: Zelda (Majora's Mask/Twilight Princess), Animal Crossing, Pokemon (though the last time I enjoyed them was X/Y), Final Fantasy (6/7, though I'm admittedly still making my way through them so I haven't played them all), Monster Hunter (World)... you can bet anytime any of these franchises have a new game coming, I'm excited!! 14. If you could be any animal (fantasy ones included) which would you be and why? Probably something beautiful and majestic, like a pegacorn or a dragon. It'd be nice to be able to fly and to use certain types of magic! 15. RoH utilizes Discord for VoIP. Are you willing to use this platform, based on the needs of the activity you're interested in? I use Discord constantly, so this would be perfect for me! 16. Are you on the servers we currently play on and are you planning on transferring to join us? Yes, I play almost exclusively Horde toons on Illidan! I'm also down to make some Alliance Toons on Emerald Dream during Pandaria Remix if necessary.

Preferred Name: voodoospork Age: 42 Pronouns (he/she/they, etc.): he, him Time Zone: central Character Class: engineer Game you will be playing with Remnants of Hope: GW2 Official username for that game: voodoospork.9018 1. Have you read the Code of Conduct and do you agree to follow it? yes 2. How did you hear about The Remnants of Hope? If a member invited you please let us know who. r/guildrecruitment 3. If you could travel to any time or place where would it be? Far enough into the future to find justice. 4. Upon joining Remnants of Hope you are expected to maintain a mature and friendly demeanor to everyone in game. What does maturity mean to you and do you feel that you can remain civil even with the nastiest players in the game? I don't feel the need to engage my ego in video games. I play strictly for the mechanical prosocial activities that bind us together as fellow human beings. Contending and bad behavior are self-harm and toxic to our shared environment. 5. If you could have any superpower what would it be and why? Nobody would ever assume that I am their enemy. 6. Have you been in other guilds before; on this game or any others? If so,what was your favorite and least favorite things about them? I've been in dozens of guilds since starting on MUDs in the 90s. My favorite guilds have a casual and friendly atmosphere, and my least favorite need everything to be just so. 7. What five adjectives, and 5 only, would you use to describe yourself? Flexible, game, casual, quiet, and compassionate. 8. Have you ever held a leadership position in a gaming community? Would this be something you are interested in in the future? No. 9. Aside from gaming, what is one activity you enjoy? And what is one activity you dislike? I volunteer and hang out at a local clubhouse for people recovering from mental illness. 10. What are your personal strengths and weaknesses as a person (not in game)? I try not to contend with anyone or judge them because I feel like we all know life is hard. I struggle with extended socialization. 11. Remnants of Hope houses players that enjoy all aspects of the game, Crafting, PVE, PVP, RP and Social. Which do you enjoy the most, and why? Once upon a time, I favored PVP, but I have migrated more toward prioritizing PVE and social interaction. I am just not as competitive as I used to be and would rather muddle through with some laughs than dump adrenaline. 12. The servers are closing down in 24 hours permanently. How would you like to spend the last bit of time in game? I would draft on whatever the bulk of the guild was doing. 13. What other games have you played and what did you like about them? Any games you are excitedly waiting for? I have been playing games for 35 years, but some of my favorites are Fallout: New Vegas, 12 minutes, Overwatch, Dungeon Crawl, Warhammer Online, slither.io, Champions Online, and Portal. I love complex and malleable narrative, puzzling, flow state, and shared struggle. 14. If you could be any animal (fantasy ones included) which would you be and why? I would be a tortoise because I spent too much of my life as the hare. 15. RoH utilizes Discord for VoIP. Are you willing to use this platform, based on the needs of the activity you're interested in? Yes. 16. Are you on the servers we currently play on and are you planning on transferring to join us? Possibly if I get deep enough to pursue WvW.
