TOG - The Older Gamers

3dfactor · 16th March 2009, 07:07 PM

Greetings TOG,
During my time in Warhammer Online world I've met Flintwick, who is a member of your midst. He stood out from other folk with great leadership and intelligence when it came to planing the strategies of the "war". After the victorious battle he told me about this community of older gamers and recommended me to sign up, even though I have some months left till my 25th birthday. I write this application as a placeholder, or as reminder, so that when time comes (August 31st) I could be instantly approved.

So, here goes the official part:
1. I'm not yet 25 years old (Will be on August 31st)
2. I've read, understood and agree to the TOG Code of Conduct Guidelines
3. I agree to, and will abide by the TOG Acceptable Useage Policy (AUP)
4. I agree to abide by the Forum & Server Guidelines
5. I've read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Guidelines
6. I've read Signature and Avatar Guidelines and agree to abide them.

I'm from Lithuania, my timezone is GMT+2. Currently working as freelance programmer/animator and also studying animation in the Vilnius College of Technologies and Design. As stated before I'm currently 24 years old, though on August 31st I will reach my quarter of a hundred.
My gaming history is quite scattered, I was playing GURPS tabletop games which were translated to my local (Lithuanian) language, though now when I saw it in English I can tell it was worst translation with wrong rules... And yet I had much fun. As for the digital gaming, I've tried lots of MMO's - free and commercial ones. I still have accounts in WoW, Lotr:O, had tried Guild wars, Eve online. Tried most of free MMO's like Silkroad, 4story, Dofus and so on... Though I got drawn back as all of these games require plenty of time to advance, or just to keep up (except for EvE online). I'm still looking for a MMO where you could log-in, and go in to the action right away to relax after days work, not having to worry about waiting times, queues and so on. For now Warhammer Online is falling under that category, because I can log in and go into the heat of battle right away, though I'm still not sure if I should buy it or should I wait for Darkfall Online. Also to add to the gaming part I am a community person, that means I usualy don't care about the loot or who has bigger "sword" as long as I go with friendly people who are just having fun.
As for other games, I have these in my "Steam": Orange Box (HL2, Portal, TF2), CS:S and Garry's MOD.

So, that's all about me, I guess... If you want to know more, let me know.

Let the Gods of war smile upon thee,
3dfactor

HEY 3dfactor,

Thanks for your honest application. One of the cornerstones of tog is that we are a gaming organisation for over 25's. This is the foundation of tog and something that we must stand by. Again we thank you for your honesty and ask that you reapply on August 31. I am sorry but at this point in time we have to deny your application based on your age.

See you in a few months ...

Thank you for fast reply, Tempeste. I didn't think you would accept me right away, Flintwick already told me about TOG age policy - I wrote this application with hope that it will be able to serve when I am 25 - as I understood from Flintwick it is allowed to write application earlier and get accepted only when you're 25.

Anyways, thanks again, I sure will be joining you in a few months

If you come back and find this thread and bump it on your birthday - it will do fine.

Greetings, TOG.
At last the time has come and today I'm celebrating my 25th birthday. I could wrap the occasion in lots of words, but instead I'll state the truth:
this post is a shameless bump!
