1. How long have you been playing Spiral Knights?
I’ve been playing SK since July 2011!
It first started off with me hanging out with some colleagues over at his place, and I happened to become mesmerized by one of the colleagues’ sister. She was a little Asian girl who was petite but not super skinny and fairly cute, especially her smile. Although she was attractive, it wasn’t her that made me stare in awe. She was playing Spiral Knights on her laptop. She was running in circles and defeating adorable monsters while carrying a sparkling crystal across these networks called clockworks. Super fascinated by the bright colors and cute game art style, I tried it out and I just kept playing it. ☺
2. What do you mostly do on Spiral Knights? (PVE? Vana runs? Lockdown? Etc.)
I mainly play the daily missions and LD or chill somewhere in haven like a veggie.
I usually play the daily mission for prestige since I don’t have the horsey yet! I’m getting closer since I need about 5k more!!! I would play clockworks sometimes for fun, but it’s not very common for me to unless there is an event going on. I have lots of fun playing LD as a bomber (mainly recon and sometimes striker). Although I’m not the best, I love capping for the team and trolling with shivermist buster if I can. And sometimes I just log in to check the mail and run around haven like a lunatic just to pass the time.
3. Do you know anyone from our guild? (If yes, who?)
I know about half of the guild because I hanged out with them before, seen them run around in Haven, they’re my friend or I’ve been killed by them in LD.
In alphabetical order: Biscotti, Broccoli-Boy, Cobalt, Daboze(Rum), Digicom, Dootytang, Ewbte, Furynator, Graphotism, Gwenyvier, Jade-Rabbit, Lightyourfire, Luthie, Lycheesoup, Maedate, Misoz, Moonsoon, Njthug, Octarinepyre, Opod, Pastelette (Pasta), Perronius, Redsg, Retequizzle, Sconesy, Shuichi, Spookeasy, Stephanys, Sypherf, Tatyh, Thengel, Th-Urret, Uncosung, Vezix, Xxenohart, Yukabacera, Zlushy and probably more
4. What guilds have you been a part of?
I’ve mainly been in small friend guilds (less than 10 people) but the bigger ones I have been in were Tainted Perfection and Echo of Silence (about a year ago). I’m currently in Love Byte where nibbles are welcomed as long as it comes with data.
Random guilds I was part of:
Echo of Sausage, Lady Lumps, Missing Child, Prinny Crew (first guild!!), Wolver Adventurer
5. What is your in-game-name?
Miabot
the original bot of SK
6. Why do you want to join Eos?
SHORT VERSION: I like you guys :3
LONGer VERSION: I really like the people who are part of EOS since most of them are really chill and fun to talk to. Although I’ve been in EOS before and left for it for almost a year, I think it might be time for me to return and cause some more trouble (just kidding)! I just want to be a cool kid like you guys ; _ ;
7. How Old are you (Optional)?
I’m 22 years old but I sound and look like a 12 year old D:
8. 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 feel perfectly fine using mumble, but I might have to hop off at times to talk to my Manky Limey (Gutnif) or study for classes since University comes first! University > Spiral Knights
9. What do you do if we don't respond to your app within a few days?
I probably would keep continuing life until I get that special email and most likely keep checking the guild thread to see if there are any updates from Njthug like a stalker…. o u o”
10. Tell us how you would troll someone in Eos?
Uhm…. I don’t know but I will figure it out when I need to! ‘ 3 ‘
11. Are you anti-social?
NO-- yes… I am a bit anti-social since I like to do runs by myself and I tend to talk more when there are like 2-3 people in the chatroom…. HOWEVER I like being around people c:?!
Does that even count…. ; m ;
12. How many (regular) black snipes are in Sk?
EDIT: THERE ARE 3 BLACK SNIPES IN HAVEN!
13. What sweet delicious treats do you enjoy?
I enjoy too many sweets but my most favorite treat of all is Miso’s cookies with Njthug’s sprinkles on top!
14. Do you play Spiral Knights naked or in a towel?
Neither… ☹ I currently play SK in my pjs or lingerie for now since I don’t live alone, BUT if I did, I would totally play naked with the towel as my blanket.
15. Are Echoes really silent?
According to science, no… but according to this guild, YES!
16. Finally, tell us about yourself (Optional)
I’m an average Asian kid who likes to play Spiral Knights when I can. Besides playing SK, I also enjoy doodling fanart, dancing like a crazy person in public, swimming for that awkward tan, and playing with my doggy Brownie all day. I ‘m currently busy with Uni stuff so I’ll mainly be online mostly on weekends unless I have exams that week! I’m also pretty stubborn and violent in real life so don’t mind me c: The more I like you, the higher tendency I have to insult you (unless you’re super duper nice) :D! If I'm drunk, then it's random (nice, mean, loving, sleepy, quiet, sassy, etc.)!
"1. How long have you been playing Spiral Knights?"
According to my Steam, I have played this game for almost 1,500 hours total, and I'm STILL scratching my head on why and how I come back for more.
"2. What do you mostly do on Spiral Knights? (PVE? Vana runs? Lockdown? etc)"
I'm just gonna say right now that PvE is my bread-and-butter! To the point where i've soloed almost every single level in the game! (WITH minimal deaths, before you ask!) ...Aside from the Shadow Lairs. Too expensive to experiment. And Solo-ing Heart of Ice is more up to whether or not I'm lucky enough to gather up healing items and not being pummeled by snowballs rather than knowing how to coast through it with utmost efficiency. Devilites, and fiends in general, are my kryptonite. ...With that said, though, anything for me is fair game! FSC? Compound 42? Snarbolax? Mister Seerus? I can get through it myself, and i'd be happy to drag someone through it as long as they're cooperative! Suffice to say, I pretty much SPECIALIZE in PvEing.
While I'm a self-proclaimed specialist in PvE in alot of aspects, I'm gonna say right now that I absolutely SUCK at PvP. If it's Blast Network, i'll say that lagspikes, a limited range of view, and my general disinterest in it bogs me down. And my playstyle does NOT transfer well into Lockdown, among several other factors that drive me away from those PvP games, but i'll keep my reasons short for now. Bottom line, i'm not a PvP guy. At all. Nothing against those games personally, they're just not for me. I'm all PvE, if anything.
"3. Do you know anyone from our guild? (If yes, who?)"
I'm... afraid I don't know anybody inside of EoS, which, at the same time, fills up a side inside of me with anticipation on WHAT kind of people run around in the guild...! I hear about a lot of interesting people coming and going-- Err--- Assuming, that by the off chance that I DO make it in, generally speaking, of course~
"4. What guilds have you been a part of?"
A fair share of small-to-moderately sized ones, but a few that deserve mention are Tectonic, Aurora, and Shapeless.
"5. What is your in-game-name?"
Reavereavs, of course!
"6. Why do you want to join Eos?"
Honestly, I want to join EoS out of SHEER curiosity. I want to see if I have what it takes to enter a guild like Echoes of Silence and see what happens from thereon. EoS certainly has quite the reputation, and I really want to explore if I somehow manage to fit in a guild like that or if it's a bust. Maybe meet a fair share of new, yet renowned people here-and-there, gather up some inspiration, ideas, or possibly new buddies from being around there, wanting to see everything that goes on inside, proving that I can, et cetera. All of my reasons boil down to curiosity. And whether or not it'll kill me in the end has yet to be seen.
"7. How Old are you (Optional)?"
I'm old enough to be in college, to give a vague hint. I like giving vague hints, for whatever reason.
"8. 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)?"
Sure thing, if need be. I've used mumble several times in other guilds, and i'm, for the most part, comfortable with using it on very, VERY special occasions. I'll admit, i'm a better writer than typer, but if there's a special time where we can all speak up, then i'll be happy to pop on. Depends on the situation, really.
"9. What do you do if we don't respond to your app within a few days?"
Either occasionally check back here, give a word to the few people who monitor these applications ingame, or shrug it off, thinking that anything could happen, and i'm satisfied that I at least tried to give my app a whirl. I ain't gonna make a scene about it!
"10. Tell us how you would troll someone in Eos?"
Going back to the "vague hints" thing I mentioned earlier, among other things, I think I can figure something out, given my writing. Depends on the situation, too.
"11. Are you anti-social?"
You callin' me a sociopath? Callin' me a psychopath? Talk about a snap judgement, but I guess that's the bread-and-butter of EoS!
Obscure psychology joking aside, I can't say that i'm... ANTI-social. I do enjoy chatting when the mood and weather is right, and all, but i'll be clean here, i'm an introvert. Like I said, i'll chat on and on and on and on and on if i'm feeling ab-so-lute-ly PERFECT, but I'm not exactly one to do something like that day in and day out. It'd quickly exhaust me. There are days where i'll enjoy a good chat, but days where I want to keep it to myself. I'm not PRO-social, but i'll never be a jerk about it, though.
"12. How many (regular) black snipes are in Sk?"
Don't snipes and their colors randomly generate from some algorithm that I don't know about around SK? Along with how the games INTERPRET black snipes in game, like, looking like a deep-dark-navy-bluish color or something? I'm no programmer and I may be talking out of my bum here, but.... don't the number of black snipes around those parts change every single day?
...Unless, if it's some obscure question asked in the vein of anticipating nearly EVERYBODY missing where there IS a set number of black snipes around in certain parts somewhere. Then, well.... er.... it wasn't in the book, I didn't know I had to study for THAAAT! Don't penalize me....
"13. What sweet delicious treats do you enjoy?"
What sweet delicious treats DON'T I enjoy~? Cookies, Ice Cream, Good Games, Lips of a Lovely Lady, they're all fair game for me! <3 ESPECIALLY the last one! The good games. Wondrous eye candy. ...Don't judge me.
"14. Do you play Spiral Knights naked or in a towel?"
I like to play Spiral Knights in the buff. I love to let it alllllllll hang out. Makes me feel BEAUTIFUL!
"15. Are Echoes really silent?"
That's starkly dependent on context. It depends on WHAT type of echo it is, WHERE it came from, and at what decibel it was probably cranked out of, theoretically speaking. Echoes MAY be silent, but have your ears ever picked it up in the first place to know it's there? It's kind of a subjective mystery partially based around perception, if you ask me.
"16. Finally, tell us about yourself (Optional)"
I am a no-nonsense, conflicted, sensitive, innocent, socially awkward robot that swallowed a philosophical encyclopedia, has a spurious passion for writing, and aspires to become a doctor someday! Thoughts in my mind change every day, depending on every single factor that makes a day a day, and, like the wave of life, I am also ever changing... with all that said, people tend to think i'm a decent guy, more or less. Feel free to ask them. Or don't. Up to you. I don't bite. Promise. Pinkyswear.
And that, concludes my application. Pass or fail, i'm happy to know that I at least tried and placed my hand out there! A pleasure to write this. :)
