Eisen of Zek

Hello, @SpazzleWeed!  Our Recruitment Officer is out for the day but will be with you tomorrow!  Your app will be processed then!

We discussed some of this in Discord during our event tonight. 

I didn't enjoy grinding QP for the sake of entering the monthly tournament.  Also didn't enjoy the typical match we had in those tournaments.  We need specific classes / specs to be able to fight the two guardian, two necro, one eng teams we fought on a regular basis.

If we really wanted to do this, we would have to get people to play certain builds / classes and have them feel comfortable in them.  That definitely could be a goal.  I rolled a guardian last week with that intent.

I don't know if I'll be able to get the qualifying points by Saturday. 

Order placed.  I'm a sucker for stickers.  And black t-shirts. 

That's awesome, @Dulivan!  Let me reach out to you.  We were thinking dinner before or after our trip to Cirque de Soliel.

AWESOME @Bainek!!  Happy to have you on board, sir.

It will be my honor and thank you for the opportunity to serve!

Wow, elevating the game with a designated party / fridge room.  I'll kick in on that if we get it.

What is "Nar Shad" a reference too? curious minds and all.  

It's the Vegas-like planet in SWTOR.

Totally down.  I love museums.  I walked by this last weekend.

Woohoo!  o7

I'm down.  I have wanted to see this show for a long time now.

Really hope I get to participate at some point. 

I was born in El Paso, TX!  Still go visit family there a few times a year (pre-C19).  That's an ambitious and beautiful ride @HimikoIsMagic!!  Good luck!  Hope you can work your way to there.  

@Koro, here's the Discord link for the SoR WvW server:  https://discord.gg/Tdmu59hA

Based on the activity I see there today, there's regular opportunities for us to get involved in WvW even when we don't have an event scheduled.

The gear I bought has a lot of +healing so I'm using what I can from the https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Tempest_-_Frontline_Aurashare build and adapt it to what specializations I currently have.  Going to try my best!

DPS sounds good though.  I'll try and gear up for that.

Thanks again for providing me with direction!

I'll utilize one of the elementalist builds on metabuild and start gearing up tonight.  Thanks for guiding my return to GW2 WvW.  It's been 5-6 years!  Really looking forward to this.

Doing squats or pushups to this song.  Every time she says down, squat or go down during your pushup.  When she says up, come back up.  It's hard.  I can do the squats up until about 2:43.  That's where I usually roll on my back LOL

Haven't tried the pushups part yet. 

I'm down.  I'm tired of running and my home gym.  I need some diversity.  Yoga is something I've definitely been interested in.

Currently reading Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson.

I freaking love it so far.  About halfway through. 

Good luck!  Tournament atmospheres are fun.

We could RP a gathering either at a tavern or a small town.  Tell horrible dating stories if we choose to be out of character. 

And also discuss the joys of being single!  Such as "no one questioning my purchasing decisions"! 

I ride my bicycle as much as possible, to and from work and for errands.  It can be a little time consuming but it helps add that extra exercise that has purpose.  Like playing sports. 

I recommend your workouts have a meaning to them.  Set goals.  It sounds generic but for example I do certain strength resistance exercises for softball.  Riding a bicycle to work also has meaning in addition to getting your cardio in.  Running long distances can be challenging but it's the only time I get to listen to music for an extended period of time or listen to podcasts in my queue.  So again, it has purpose. 

Multi-task your exercise as much as possible in this way if you can. 

I can't recommend any recipes as I'm not a fan of cooking.  I throw a can of beans, corn, veggies, and tofu in a pot.  Add hot sauce and mayo and that's lunch and dinner usually.  I eat a lot of eggs and rough veggies (like kale and cabbage).  Sometimes I'll mix it up with some frozen, then micro-waved, turkey meatballs.  /shrug

edit:  I struggle to limit my beer intake also.  As a result, I try to avoid bad carbs like white flour (burritos, white rice, etc.).  Still have good grains and lentils but most foods with a lot of bread / dough like pizza have been out for me.  The metabolism drop off after 30 made that necessary and it's a heartbreaker.
