How long have you been playing Spiral Knights?

Though I cannot recall a precise date, I believe I have been playing for roughly 3/2 of a year.

How many runs do you do a day in T1 - T3?

On any given day I will do as many runs as my mist energy will permit, if I had an elevator pass I couldn’t stop playing. Back during that free elevator celebration, I did about 50 Roarmulus Twins runs. Typically I do a combination of prestige, fire storm citadel, and random T3 runs.

How often do you play Spiral Knights?

I can be found playing almost any time of day or night, but the frequency in which I log on varies drastically depending on the time of year. But I usually log on once per day at minimum. During the summer I obviously have more free time, so I will typically be on for generous periods of time, although the summer is the time when I am usually gone for extended periods of time due to vacation. During the school year I am usually on for an hour or more depending on my work load. Odds are that if I am not on Spiral Knights, and have free time, I will most likely be doing some sort of work for the guild.

Do you know anyone from our guild? (If yes, who?)

Cobalt – I forget where we met, we have only done a few runs together, but mainly we cross paths at the auction house and I often mention how awesome Cobalt’s costumes are.

Jade-Rabbit – We met when I somehow discovered a glitch where you could go outside of haven’s boundaries by joining someone there. A group of us were all just chilling there talking, and at this time I was unbearably tiered, so before I logged off I wanted to be sure that I would talk with Jade-Rabbit more, so that is when we became friends. Unfortunately we have not done much together. I really don’t know how it began but a while back I started reporting all my rare item drops to Jade-Rabbit. So far I have gotten two Big Beast Bashers and one Brandish. I am still looking for that Dark Fang shield.

Lynxshade – We met through a referral, back when I was looking to buy shifty eyes, a random person gave me Lynxshde’s name. At first the price was 200k, and then we came to a mutual agreement of 50k. This was back during the mirrored lock box promotion, and when I was a rich 2 star free to play knight that was waiting to get a shadow high magic set.

Josh – We just recently met in the bazaar while I was scrounging for crowns to roll on my hammer. I started with charge time reduction medium that day and four rolls later I ended with the same unique variant.

Why do you want to join Eos?

After reading much information about all the guilds I was interested in, there was clearly only one option. I have talked with a host of people from a multitude of guilds, many of them were extremely nice, but after much contemplation I came to the decision that I need Echo of Silence. After reading several forum posts, I felt almost as if some unknown force was beckoning me to come and join. When I looked at all the other guilds, there was no comparison. One thing in particular made my choice so blatantly obvious; most of the other guilds say something to the effect of, if you are not active for two weeks then you will be kicked from the guild. Echo of silence is the only guild I ran across that did not have any such rule. This one simple fact means a great deal to me, it means that Echo of Silence truly values each and every member, not only that, but they recognize that the guild is each individual member, and every member is worth infinitely more than a free slot. That without question is something I desperately want to be a part of. Additionally, after being in two dead guilds over the course of my entire career, I knew that I could not go on any further without finding a place to call home. But joining the guild is not all for selfish gain; I believe that by being part of an outstanding guild that is well populated, I will be able to make a greater impact to a broader spectrum of individuals.

How Old are you (Optional)?

I reserve the right not to give out my age or any personal information, but I will say that I am currently enrolled in college.

Eos does have mumble would you feel comfortable using it (Yes or No *add if you have a mic* this does not hurt you application)?

I do have dual microphones, but am usually in a somewhat loud environment, and to ensure a quality user experience for the guild, I deem it appropriate under most circumstances that I will not use voice chat. This is not to say that I will never use mumble to communicate, but the majority of the time I will use the built in chat.

If you saw Boswick in game would you poke him hug him or yell at him?

First off, I would never poke Boswick for fear my hand would return without a finger. Secondly if I hugged him, the chances of him letting me go are far too slim. Third of all, if I yelled at him I would inevitably be sued by Three Rings and have my ability to shout removed. Thus, after comparing the costs and benefits for each of the three options, there is only one thing left that I could do; pay Boswick homage and hope that he does not smite me off the face of the clockworks.

Are you anti-social?

Not in the least.

What sweet delicious treats do you enjoy?

Namely I enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done.

Do you play Spiral Knights naked or in a towel?

Neither, though I can typically be found wearing a hood both in real life and in game.

Finally, tell us about yourself (Optional)

I am a college student currently studying business and engineering. Even though I am not an artist, in fact I thoroughly dislike the subject; I somehow have grown fond of electronic arts. I plan to build on this skill by utilizing what talent I have for the benefit of Echo of Silence. Spiral Knights is the only game I play, so I plan to give you guys my all. I created a word cloud of all the guild members’ names, with the size of each name corresponding to their rank, as defined on the wiki. Here is the Echo of Silence collage. This is not a bribe of what is to come, regardless of whether I am accepted or not, I would like for you to have this as a small token of my admiration. Additionally with your consent I would love to get a guild website up and running. As a rule I always try to keep an open mind, and am more than willing to learn as much as possible. Every day I set out on a mission; to become a better person. Believe it or not, a considerable amount of my personal growth and maturity are a direct result from meeting a host of phenomenal individuals, who spent considerable derations of time with me in this game. I feel that I owe it to the community, to attempt to give back all that it lavishly instilled in me.

I'm too lazy to edit it, but my name needs to be bigger too.

Pretty cool word collage, Death-Leech, thanks for making that. I actually laughed out loud when seeing it because I didn't even know we had someone in our guild named "Admiral-Buthurt"...must be someone's troll-alt cause they don't show up on the roster.

In other news, we're a really bad hand lotion according to a friend of mine. Just keep in mind she has never played SK before.

----------

5:25 AM - Claire: this lotion sucks
5:25 AM - Claire: my hands are still dry
5:25 AM - Ret's No Fun Zone: what kind is it?
5:25 AM - Claire: hand lotion, why?
5:25 AM - Claire: lol
5:25 AM - Ret's No Fun Zone: so this way i can avoid picking some up for myself later
5:25 AM - Ret's No Fun Zone: zinnnnnnnnng
5:25 AM - Claire: EOS brand
5:26 AM - Claire: its a shame cuz their lip balms are good
5:26 AM - Ret's No Fun Zone: is it really EOS brand?
5:26 AM - Claire: ya why

Ret, I actually have an EOS shaving product in my shower and I give a little chuckle every time I notice it; http://evolutionofsmooth.com/

@Death-Leech

I'm inclined to describe EoS, more as community than as a Guild. As such, what we describe as "Being Active" is a rather curved and slightly left of what people would generally describe as being such.

I pose question or two! mostly theoretical, but questions nonetheless. If I was to say that apples are green and lemons are purple, while bananas are most definitely pink!

In your own words;
What do you think NJthug would look like riding a hippopotamus while wearing Shorts, a T-Shirt and a Bowler Hat?
Do you have a problem being in a guild with someone like me?
Based on what you just read: Am I, slightly insane, a Liar or something completely different?

How long have you been playing Spiral Knights?
About a month now I believe

How many runs do you do a day in T1 - T3?
Until the mist runs out

How often do you play Spiral Knights?
Every day or two at least

Do you know anyone from our guild?
I have talked with a few of them, and they seemed very cool.

What is your in-game-name?
Tacohz

Why do you want to join Eos?
I heard a lot of things I liked when talking to your people, and a lot more good things reading through this thread. Freindly, chill, fun-loving guildies sounds perfect for me, and a guild whose members enjoy helping out newer players and guild members is definitely the kind of people I like to play with.

How Old are you (Optional)?
27

Eos does have mumble would you feel comfortable using it (Yes or No *add if you have a mic* this does not hurt you application)?
yes, if I ever get I mic, I would.

If you saw Boswick in game would you poke him hug him or yell at him?
Likely poke him, and then if he cried, give him a hug .

Are you anti-social?
Not even slightly.

What sweet delicious treats do you enjoy?
yogurt-covered raisins, and oatmeal raisin cookies.

Do you play Spiral Knights naked or in a towel?
Errrbudy knows dat dem der peeeples dat er dem per-o-fesh-yun-els, dey all play BUCK nekkid!

Finally, tell us about yourself.
I play Tf2 , and now am really getting into SK as well. I am not a typical teenaged online gamer, being a bit older and more mature than the average player. That's not to say I think I am at all better in any way, just that I have MUCH less attraction to drama, or other silliness, I just like to play the game with other chill people.

How long have you been playing Spiral Knights?
Since July 2011 (Est. 1 year, 3 months)

How many runs do you do a day in T1 - T3?
Not many, lol. Maybe 2 runs a week.

How often do you play Spiral Knights?
3-6 hour per day

Do you know anyone from our guild? (If yes, who?)
The better question is, who do I not know! (Njthug, Retequizzle, Gwenyvier, Rating... derp)

What is your in-game-name?
Xairathan

Why do you want to join Eos?
I left Jempire in late August/early September and went first to Rigorous, then after my friend left for Avalon, to Avalon. However, neither guild was as active as I'd have liked, and so I am looking for a guild to permanently stay with.

How Old are you (Optional)?
f(x)= (3x+9)^2-[2*9(x-4)]... I give up. Less than 20, more than 13.

Eos does have mumble would you feel comfortable using it (Yes or No *add if you have a mic* this does not hurt you application)?
I don't mind. Just don't make me sing.

If you saw Boswick in game would you poke him hug him or yell at him?
Forget you, Boswick >:/ Biscotti is all the rage now.

Are you anti-social?
That is a very good question.

What sweet delicious treats do you enjoy?
Cheese croissants, brownies, cinnamon scones, chocolate chip cookie dough flavored ice cream, and sugar-coated freshmen

Do you play Spiral Knights naked or in a towel?
I actually play it with a naked towel from China.

Finally, tell us about yourself (Optional)
I'm a psychotic dragon with a murder motive against Punch, but I didn't do it. I'm also here to take Njthug's sock drawer. I got offered his bra drawer for my hacked aura once. Needless to say, it didn't work.

Xairathan is an extremely persistent and productive merchant that has great character. It seems as if all the time I am finding that I want what Xairathan is selling. Even though we are not friends I somehow can always remember their name. From what I have gather about EoS, Xairathan would be a great addition.

I finally finished the Flash animation. For connivance I saved it as a video, though I did indeed create it in flash. I realize that this is not terribly impressive, but I am still learning to become proficient with the program. If you have any suggestions or comments as to how I can improve the animation, do not hesitate to voice your opinion. I am always eager to enhance both my work and skills.

Death: I'm really enjoying that. Especially how I'm in the corner watching everyone while scratching my crotch.

@YUKA OH BABY U SO BIG

And Sol, you're a beast of a chef. You really likes chocolate it seems. Definitely not crazy.

Xai: No one will sing with me, will you? It gets lonely sometimes .. so lonely. RET, HOLD ME

And now I'll disappear for another forever.

asdf

Of course I'm next to Jade.

Even better. I'm on EoS's butt now!

No one can STOP ME.

@ Spooksalot: well someone had to go there ... at least we know it is clean. Wink wink nudge nudge.

I realized that I was taking the WAY too serious approach! :3 iChill bout it, will just reapply in a bit. Yeah I'll admit that it was all my fault™ ... for not being accepted. @ Boswick & Xerox sue me, i dare u xD

BTW: if there isn't already, there should TOTALLY b a Nj day

sure u all know this but... i <3 u Eos

I know I said enough seriousness but, I would like to just say this. Well, all the things that I have done were not bribes; I just think that you guys are the greatest. I will continue to do stuff for the guild, even if I am not accepted. About The Jempire, what a joke, there is no compassion when up against Eos. Also after I reapply if I am denied again, then I will highly consider quitting the game, because all my real friends have left the game and I have no real guild, there remains no purpose for me to play anymore. And if i quit the game, I will probably give you all my stuff, because I think that much of you, though my brother would probably never forgive me. I need Eos so I can release my innermost burning passion. Additionally if you all truly only liked me for the word clouds then all I can say is at least you liked me. I have never had a guild I could call home, and after glimpsing a utopia there is no way I could settle for anything else. I think of Eos all of the time, and though it may be sad, right now Eos is my priority, even over school. No matter what happens I will ALWAYS remember Eos. I apologize for all that but I had to just say it. If you are wondering, no that is not drama, I am 100% chilled about the whole thing. I know you guys appreciate honesty, and honesty is a fundamental aspect of my character, so I had to be completely upfront about it with all of you. But enough of that, I will drop the topic, because it think you get the idea.

In other news, one shocking photo reveals that Spiral Knights actually contains blood! I know it may be hard to believe but this has not been Photoshopped. Some background information; while I was doing a tier 3 clockworks dive, I was lucky enough to spawn a rock jelly, which seems to happen quite often, and because I am obsessed with epic screenshots I had to try and get an amazing picture. In the process of trying to obtain the perfect picture I somehow died. Since I had not gotten the ideal captured the picturesque scene yet, I had to revive, but I waited for the opportune moment before I did so. As soon as the rock jelly was on top of my corpse I revived, and here is the result. It was INFINITELY more fun than lichen breeding!

Of course Eos is not a super serious guild, which is what makes it so awesome! ... I am in the process of reading through all of the guild’s forum posts and ... LOL ... Eos is WAY cooler than I had ever dreamed!

Becs, I literally laugh out loud every time I think about the scientific "fact" that only 42% of a fart can be captured in any given jar. Pure gold right there!

Death-leech, I think your intensity may be too much to be a good fit for EoS. Have you ever seen the movie 'Super troopers'? If not you should watch it, it's hilarious. If you have seen it, then I think the fear is that you would be like the character Favre in it...shenanigans shouldn't be forced, just occur naturally. I'm sure you're a great person but EoS really isn't for everyone, school should come first, always. Compatibility cannot be forced.

@Death-Leech - Dude, hint from me... Stop trying so hard, take a break from posting on this thread (a week, two, more?). Chill. Out. Then come back and post. Pretty sure intensity is the opposite of what's necessary to get into EOS, just saying. Things that will get you in are: Laziness, goofiness, laughing, drunken mumbles, chilling out.

@Aedium - still not proven experimentally but I can't do it, everyone know girls don't fart.

WOW *facepalm* I NEEDED that admonishment!

Take everything Becs and Ret said to heart
If you have to change yourself to "fit in" with us then you're not doing it right
We're pretty good at sniffing out the type of person you are after talking for a bit. So if you're faking it wont last long.

Also just a random fact, only one person was admitted after being denied the first time
and they only lasted another week after that
So you might as well start giving us your stuff now

In seriousness though
if you do quit, don't give us your crap. We most likely have all of it already
Give it to someone who could actually use it i.e. your brother
either way, glhf, don't post here again until we've forgotten about you

I buy boxes! 25 ecto drops each.
