Torlen's Application - [ACCEPTED]

[Torlen]

What is your nickname?

Torlen

How did you come up with your nickname?

I've used it on every game and nearly every forum I've ever participated in since I was around 10 years old. I just thought it sounded cool

What is your SteamID (e.g STEAM_0:1:1010101)?

STEAM_0:1:19268259

How old are you?

22

Where do you live?

Akron, Ohio

What is your favorite game type or map?

2fort Capture the Flag

Can you get access to Ventrilo (headset/mic)?

Yes

How many hours have you played on our servers(you can check from our HLStatsX page)?

4d 20:43:49h on 2fort, negligible on any other map. They are usually dead when I play (early mornings).

What are your primary playing times?

I play from 8am-Noonish on weekdays and literally all night long (midnight-noon) on weekends. I work 3rd shift, so I have weird hours.

Our servers rely on donations to stay alive. Would you be willing to contribute to the upkeep of our servers?

Yep, I just got a new job as a QC Chemist at the company that makes Purell

Do you possess any particular skills or traits outside of gaming that you think could contribute to our website, servers, or community (i.e. web/graphic design, programming, etc)?

I've done a little web design and forum moderation, but nothing too serious. I'm decent at fixing computers (I was an IT tech in college), but that wouldn't be too useful.

What is your main reason for joining «XÅ»?

I like the community and play your 2fort map exclusively. I've also noticed that some of my friends, like The Inspectah, have been angling for a position and I started asking myself why I hadn't applied before.

What is your favorite beer and/or liquor?

I'm a Jack Daniels man myself.

What is the craziest thing you have ever witnessed a woman get angry about? (Please give ample background/detail)

I dated a girl in High School who was very into religion (which made her crazy to begin with). We got along fine, as long as I did pretty much whatever she said (yay Highschool). Anyways, I ran Track and she was the trainer for the team, and at one particular meet she saw me throw gum on the ground. She literally flipped a shit and started screaming at me in front of everyone. I tried to calm her down but she was ranting and raving nonstop. After a few minutes of this, my gum capades turned into a rant about how I'm going to hell. I wasn't quite sure how the transition from throwing gum to my eternal damnation in hell happened, but needless to say we didn't last long.

I have another equally crazy story about a girl I dated in college. I was pretty much living out of her dorm room, which was fine for the most part. The only exception was that I wasn't really able to get any alone time, since I was literally spending every minute of the day with her, and none at home. I said to her one night, " I think I'm going to go home tonight and just relax and play video games". She started freaking out about how I was breaking up with her and all that crap. So after a few minutes of non-stop crying I decided I just needed to get out, but as I walked to the door she grabbed a soup can and threatened to throw it at me if I took another step. After disarming her of the can, I hoofed it out of there as quickly as I could to prevent her grabbing another one. That was another quick relationship.

Hey, thanks for the app. If you ever want to meet any XA members you wont find them on 2fort.

99% of the time we are on payload or cp.

nice answer at the end

[Torlen]

I've seen quite a few XA members on 2fort lately (beez, Inspectah, priscilla, alpha prime, Maverick Fox).

I know my nearly exclusive 2fort time plays against me, but most of the maps are literally dead during my playtimes. The only time I could see being able to play it would be weekends, and that's definitely something I would give a shot if my acceptance or denial came down to it.

I must say I am extremely pleased with the new questions I added to the app form. (All girls are crazy to begin with)

As for 2fort, us admins need to discuss how to handle exclusive 2fort people who could be possible good fits for the clan. For now, just hang tight and I will let you know what we decide when we figure it out.

[Torlen]

Thanks for not instantly shooting me down. If you want to hold out until this weekend when I can come to one of your other maps and meet some of you guys, I'd be cool with that.

I started out playing exclusively sniper, but I'm starting to switch to a more pyro/soldier/medic combo. Medic is somewhat more recent, but I've been having fun with it. Jdoc can confirm my abilities as a pyro with a decent medic on deck

[University Orc]

I dont see a problem playing 2fort when the other servers are dead,

but hopefully we will see you try out the pl and cp servers

Nice to see a 2forter that's not retarded. Good luck on the app.

[The Inspectah]

I must say I am extremely pleased with the new questions I added to the app form.

Yeah I like the new questions also, you can tell alot about a man by what he drinks and his crazy girl stories..

I dont see a problem playing 2fort when the other servers are dead,

yeah late night when dustbowl and swiftwater are empty there are always people on 2fort that server never dies down really..

Good Luck Torlen !!!nice to see the app...

[Torlen]

I played your guys' payload rotation yesterday for like 3-4 hours and had a lot of fun. Me and Spoolin Evolution were dominating the game as a medic/demo combo.

Welcome Torlen!!

Thank you for your application!

Your non-retarded app was definitely a score in my book. Just make sure you hang out with us while your app is under vote.

These tips will help improve your chances of being accepted:

1. Add the «0» tag to the front of your name (THIS IS REQUIRED). This will help «XÅ» members recognize you in-game. If you change your nickname after applying, let us know in your application thread.

2. Add «XÅ» members to your Steam Friends! A list is available on the roster. Community IDs link to Steam profiles.

3. Add all of the «XÅ» servers to your favorites.

4. You now have a reserved slot and donator benefits on all of our servers. Please refer to the Donator Benefits/Reserved Slot thread for setup instructions and more information.

5. This last one is the most IMPORTANT. Our recruiters are looking for devoted, supportive, and active players. Skill is, for the most part, irrelevant to an applicants chance. We are looking for members who wish to help out wherever needed, and those who support decisions and changes within the clan. We also need members who are active, not only in our servers but more importantly on the forums to participate in clan discussions.

If your application is denied, we will remove your reserve slot and donator benefits.
