Post Application

Gidday. I'd like to apply to become a member of TOG.

Firstly, I can confirm that I am over 25 years of age (37, but it hurts to admit that) and I have read both the AUP and FAQ forums.

I heard about TOG from a friend that was in the same guild as me on the Proudmore server of World of Warcraft. I have found that some of the people I was play with are fairly immature and have a different attitude to gaming than I do, causing increasingly high levels of frustration and defeating what I believe the point of playing a game is - to have fun. WoW is my current game of choice but I have in the past enjoyed Day of Defeat, Battlefield 1942 and Vietcong. (I don't mind the odd first person shooter. Aggression issues I hear you ask?)

I work for a privately owned health company, a job which can be both time consuming and stressful. I use gaming as a release and an opportunity to have a chat to people. I tend to be fairly social in the game as opposed to fiercely competitive, which doesn't always sit well with some gamers.

As a result of my job I can be overseas for several months at a time, often in places with limited or no internet access. (By the way, I'm based in Brisbane.) Consequently my game playing can be a bit sporadic, yet ANOTHER thing which doesn't sit well with some gamers. (Thes list is getting longer.) I would ask that people be patient with me - I may make a commitment to be online but have to cancel due to the job.

So there you are. Just another older gamer looking for other people with similar attitudes to have a bit of fun with. (Just as a sideline for the person who wrote the web page, I was a BIG fan of the C64, particularly BoulderDash and Raid Over Moscow. Would love to find where you can get a C64 simulator.) I look forward to getting to know you all and hope you enjoy having me as part of the team.

Frog (Real name Mark, but I only answer to Frog - it's a long story.)

Welcome to TOG Frog.
Well you have given us some intro . We fully understand about shift work & been away for work as many of us are in the same boat only to play when work permits.

Hi Mate. Welcome to TOG. Your application is in order but due to technical constraints on the site your TOGerisation will have to be done by an Admin.
Hopefully they'll be along soon

M8, one thing you will find here, is that people understand that RL (Real Life) always has precident over gaming, so if you can't make certain times or events, no worries!!!
