Offering myself
Greetings to all those associated with the Duchy of Wessex.
I haven't really been formally accepted into the Duchy (even in a trial status). I have been speaking with your Most Noble leader about it since about the 29th of Dec, but it seems he has temporarily disappeared, so I'm basically in the doldrums. I also submitted a form to join on the site recently, but was unable to fill out all of it because something came up which required my immediate attention. So now I have come to the forums, offering myself in service to this nation. I figure I should complete the rest of the joining form, which could also serve as a way to introduce myself, so here goes:
Age: 24
What is your playing style?
My emphasis in MMO's is always PvP, with some RP tendencies. However, due to DF being so dynamic and varied in what it proposes to offer, I imagine the paradigm will shift for not only me, but many others. In Darkfall, I see my playstyle being: semi-roleplaying explorer, tactician, stealth artist, efficient killer, honor-bound (to some degree). I would like to specialize in both Archery for long range and either dual-wielding daggers/short swords or using a shield and short sword when the fight closes. I'll have an emphasis on foot speed, attack speed and stealth to give me an edge (or at least to keep me alive) when confronted with the stalwart, heavily-armored melee types, and depending on how much of a skill spread the game will support, some offensive/defensive supporting spells.
What attracts you to the Duchy of Wessex?
I was very intrigued by the organization of the ranks, and by the dynamic positioning of talent within them. On top of that, the fact that positions will be very important, held in high regard, and truly instrumental in our success or failure in-game is precisely the kind of RP that draws me. I'm not quite well-versed with the in-character-at-all-times type of RP, but I'm far from being against practitioners of it. Overall, this is simply the best looking clan for me BY FAR. Not that I'd only be here for the benefits, but I come to serve in whatever way I fit best.
Do you have much experience with MMORPGs?
Anarchy Online, Auto Assault, City of Heroes, City of Villains, Dungeons & Dragons Online, Everquest 2, Guild Wars, Lineage 2, Star Wars Galaxies, The Matrix Online, World of Warcraft, OTHER. Obviously, I'm somewhat of a "carebear" by some people's definition, but I guess I wasn't playing MMO's far enough back to have been in the early days of AC and UO.
How were you referred to the Duchy of Wessex?
Well, after searching through every single thread in the Clan Recruitment page, and only finding a few that seemed to have the general outline I saw as being most effective in DF, I was nearly going to settle for one of them before seeing the most recent thread for the Duchy, which completely blew me away. So, I contacted The Duke of Wessex himself, explaining where I was in my search and asking him some questions I had. After receiving his answers, I was very pleased with everything I heard, and decided I would very much like to be a part of this nation.
In a competitive world like Darkfall, where would your strengths lie? For instance, perhaps you have a talent for strategy, diplomacy, statesmanship, organization, combat, or simply a knack for boosting morale with humor?
In a broad sense: I think I'm strong with tactics, both in offensive raids/seiges and in defending against such. In every game I play I can't help but attempt to formulate the best possible PvP build, and if the game lends itself to team or large-scale warfare, then I'm avid in organizing individual strengths and creating strategies to overwhelm and outplay the opposition, no matter which angle they might come from. I believe I also have an ability to reason and express myself well.
In a narrow sense: I would like to lead lore driven expeditions/raids into the far corners of Agon to: Uncover the untold riches and secrets held in the Ancient Chaldean Ruins, Investigate the presence of and/or defeat Far Loradain, the Shades, etc., and a potentially much more important lore goal, the recovering of Word Stones. During these expeditions, I would also hope to gather plenty of rare and common resources from the far corners of Agon, to give a huge boost to our initial crafting effort. I see these lore (PvE) goals as holding a lot of wieght in the crucial First Age of Agon, and getting at them early may give us a sizeable advantage in the long run.
So, I guess this is my official plea. I would like to be involved in getting the Duchy to a most succesful, fortified position.
Glory to the Duke!
