You are over 25.

Technically I'm 4 months away from 25, but people who first meet me usually think I'm 35, married, settled and with 3 or more children.. At heart, I believe I'm mature enough.

AAAAAAH ITS MANDRAKE, RUN!



I live in a country called Bahrain (GMT +3:00), and I like socializing. Er.. that doesn't sound right..

The place I live in is what I call a living sauna, its more humid than Tampa Bay and hotter than my own rear in a fur chair. And you thought Newton discovered gravity? HAH Well, when your marbles are sweeping the floor from the heat, that's gravity at work.

My apologies, I'm so distracted right now that I can't even write a good 10 paragraph guild app. I can update this further as required ofcourse, but for now, I'm happy to meet you all and hope we'll have a good time!

Btw. I'm applying for Age of Conan, on Bloodspire server.

Now that I have some peace of mind (at last), here's a follow-up:

I played a lot of games, usually single-player or console games.. Most of my favorite games are classics, like: Magic Carpet 2 (Best game ever), Worms 1, Decent, Dune 2, Dungeon Keeper, Carmageddon 2, Total Annihilation, Final Fantasy 7, Power Stone 2, Super Smash bros. Melee... The list goes on.

As for online games, I cannot play FPS's due to the lag I get here which is around 280-600 ms. The first online game I played was Diablo 2, then it was WoW like the rest of the herd.


The following is my opinionated philosophy (Just keep that in mind!):

I'm sick and tired of the:

☑ Serious Internet Gaming™

...Thats been going around lately with almost every game. Lots of people play to get the best and fastest Virtual Success possible: Gear, Level, Rank, Kills... To me, this sounds a lot more like a job than a game. I repeat, games are supposed to be fun!!

Say hello to:

☑ Games are Fun™

If you've been tempted into serious gaming lately, you need this Zen. Trust me, whatever virtual goal you have ahead of you that you're dying to reach, once you reach it there's just.. nothing.. So, enjoy your game as much as you can!! Level at your own pace, kill people, jump around in an inn while ranting in general chat.. Do whatever makes ya happy!

End of Philosophy


What else do I have to say.. well... Oh yes

I'm quite happy I found a mature guild, the Internet can be a dangerous place for the mind. I'm nto suer fi my por lillte houmn mind can kepe up wiht all teh danmd tyhpos, nor the incoherentmergedwords, or the lack of all sorts of punctuation because they think its unnecessary to have and they know its silly and all and also they like to use a lot of "And" and..

You see what I mean right?

Besides that, hmmmm.. Not sure how to describe meself anymore..

I work in a comfortable place as a Computer Systems Analyst, its my first job and I've been at it for almost 5 months now. I don't like to brag, but I'm overperforming and everyone is really happy with how I work and communicate.

After my 1st month I got assigned to be the analyst, designer, and administrator of one of the biggest IT projects in the company. Heck, its one of the biggest IT projects in the country! (Small country afterall). Good thing is that I joined a bit late in the project so I won't have to worry about the initial headache, but the amount of stuff I learned is simply amazing.

Right now, I initiate meetings, and soon I'm going to be training all the managers around here into using this new system..

I know I'm being vague, but further detailed information is strictly confidential.

Well this should cover up the basics. Looking forward to be part of the guild! Btw, my English is flawed since its not my primary language, but I try to act fluent.

Hair,

Thanks so much for your honesty, we REALLY appreciate it. However being 25 is the cornerstone of TOG and is the one rule we will not bend or break. So please understand when I say come back in 4 months - we would love to have you as part of TOG.

Arrrr.. I had a feeling my age would come up and bite me. Oh well, it can't be helped.

So, should I bid the guys at "The Old Guard" guild farewell (Age of Conan - Bloodspire)? Can't I stay with them at least in the in-game guild and help them out without using the facilities and services this website provides?

I did play with them for 2 days and came to like everyone there. But if I must leave, then I will obey

[Bumbee]

Hair,
No one would ever say that you are not welcome to continue to play with them. It is mearly a formality that we cannot bend. You are welcome to continue to join there parties, its just that you cannot become a full member of TOG or any of its guilds for 4 months.

We would welcome an application at that time and look forward to it.

[Egil]

We have a new member who just celebrated his 25th birthday, and had all the preliminary stuff taken care of just prior to.
And on his 25th birthday, he was welcomed into TOG as a full member.

Personally... I think it'd be worth the wait.
And you have garnered respect by staying honest about your age.

Good stuff, bud. Hang in there, and stick around for your 25th.
We'd love to welcome you in on the day.

[Hair]

Thank you everyone for your kind responses, and I'm really happy to have earned your respect so early on!!
Btw its actually 6 months till my birthday, not 4. I fail at counting

And indeed, my 25th Birthday will feel special! Looking forward to it

I might miss the train on Age of Conan. But hey, Diablo 3 is coming! Lots of fun!

I'll be stalking for the next 6 months, waiting in anxiety mwahahah!

[Egil]

Glad to hear you'll be sticking around!

I will certainly look forward to gaming with you in Diablo III.

I'll be reloading Diablo II, very soon, and working on that addiction.
