    Name/Age/State: Ben/23/VA
    I want to join Soldiers of the Cross because: I am going to copy the information I sent to Joshua:

    A little about me, I am a 23 year old computer programmer living just outside of Washington DC. I was born and raised Christian, and through multiple occurrences in my life, despite being very active in my church towards the end of highschool I fell from my faith and entered my ”dark years” of college. After college I came back to my faith, but it hasn’t been until the past year that I have been absolutely on fire for God through fellowship, study, serving, and love for others. Obviously a brief description of me..

    As for my interest in your guild, I have been playing WoW on and off for almost 4 years now. I raided end game in WoTLK with a couple LK kills. My interest in the game is about 50/50 split between social and raiding desires. I enjoy leveling and doing professions as much as I do raiding with others. I generally have been stable in my guilds, however have not been in a Christian guild, or any guild that I have felt really connected to at this point. I have in the past played with my friends, however they have all left the game and there is nothing left for me really on my server. I have been thinking about joining a Christian guild, and yours in particular caught my eye. I really want to combine my gaming hobby with my passion for Christian fellowship. This could really be a great opportunity for me and I am really fired up at the thought of it. I logged onto your server a few weeks ago and I believe spoke briefly with ”holy field” if I am not mistaken. I have reviewed your policies on the site, and agree with everything you have set forth.

    Have you read the Soldiers policies? Please sum them up in your own words below:

    Nothing I haven’t had to follow before- I like that there is loot priorities and while there are often raid requirements, it sounds like there are times when lower ilevel, non experienced people are run for experience and loot which is really great as well. It also sounds like there is opportunity to withdraw from the guild bank as long as you’re giving – which is great because in my current guild you can give give give but never seem to get (I know I know, If someone takes your shirt offer them your tunic..)

    These 8 words describe me the best: Ice is back with my brand new invention

    I heard about Soldiers from:

    Did a google search for Christian WoW guilds, found a web forum where they were all listed, picked you out of there.

    Do you know anyone in Soldiers that can provide testimony about you personally?

    No

    Hey everyone, I don’t want to get ahead of myself but if you so choose to accept my app – I probably will not transfer servers until Sunday, when my tailoring CD is up and I can transfer over with an epic to sell. Until then, maybe someone could send me the vent password so I could start meeting and talking to people?

    I don’t want to sound too antsy – but I hope I didn’t get forgotten about…I only ask because I see someone else applied 2 days after me and has already gotten far more reviews than I..

    sorry, things often get that many burst reviews because someone asked for an invite, so we look over it quickly and accept.
    Don’t worry though, the app looks good and you can just send a tell to an officer and we’ll get you taken care of :)

    Ok great thanks…I was just wondering because the prep work in getting the gold/BOA’s/items from 10 toons on my server sent over into just one character is a lot of prep work..wanted to make sure all was good before I did that :) . Like I said, can’t come over until Sunday or so..any chance I could start hanging out in vent and introducing myself before that?

    The app looks good. Have you started a toon over on Anvilmar to see if that server will have a culture that you would like?

    Randy,

    I haven’t gotten past level 6 or something over on that server, so I haven’t experienced trade chat or anything. I am not really concerned with “server culture”, as there will always be the nice guys, the cocky raiders, and the ignorant trolls. I’m more concerned with guild culture, and seeing as how I’m a dedicated Christian – I don’t think I could go wrong in a dedicated Christian guild….right? :-p

    Unless you’re all just ravening wolves in sheep’s clothing!!! I kid..

    Hope to meet some of you guys on vent tonight!
