First let us introduce ourselves! What is Aeonic Doom:
Aeonic Doom is a guild, one of the many guilds out there....but, it's not a normal one. We are a group of people, friends and buddies. Helping is a trait, kindness is a rule and patience is our virtue. We don't care if you are super skilled and an immature person, maturity comes first. Rank is hard to get here, only the qualified people with the heart of an Aeonic Doomer will achieve the ranks in the guild. And in the end, we are all playing this game for fun and for having a good chat from time to time.
A glimpse of our GMs :
In AD we have always 4 GMs only. It is a place reserved for the most loyal people in the guild, and very very few will achieve it.
- Myrtle :
- Grandmoffpuppeteer (gmpypoop, Pepe says hello):
The lady jiggly. She is always talking and likes to throw jokes in at opportune (and inopportune) moments. She is an expert CW runner and helpful GM. The only AD GM on the US server, she loves to play with anyone willing to make the switch! She always tries to kill me (Xxdragneel) or Prophe in LD and always fails. (GMP edit: Lies! You come to US server and see how well I shall poke you!)
- Masterboss :
- Prophe :
One of the founders of Aeonic Doom and also one of the most helpful players in the game. She is always drinking (Irish)coffee and won't ever stop that! She is a mighty guardian in Lockdown and anyone who knows what's good for them trembles in fear when they encounter her (Myrtle disagrees, Prophe says: tremble before the mighty goddess). And a small advice: Don't never ever cross her. She is a formidable foe for anyone who messes with her, or her guildies (Myrtle edit – really am I scary :o, Prophe edit: |: , GMP edit: I pray I'm never on the receiving end of Myrtle's wrath! <3 ).
Affectionately we call him Embee – He’s mainly silent but violent. An all around impressive guy, skilled with the sword, gun, bomb, wit, and wisdom! (Prophe edit: Who the hell is this guy? Oh it is that Clint Eastwood kid from lockdown – damn you and your gun spamming AA noob)(GMP edit: I thought we all called him EmBee out of laziness? Or was that just me?)
The Master LDer of the guild, and a pool guy in his house (he likes speedos a LOT, LJusa gief me my speedoes!). He enslaves everyone in the guild (GMP edit: is this enslaving due to his charm, or cuz his smelly feet knock us all out? I'm voting for the latter). Only the finest can face him!. In reality, you can ask him anything you need help with and he will happily answer. He is also Myrtle’s slave. (Nevah!)
History:
Founded in June 2011 by Stormface, Myrtle, Pronto-Za and Yia Unreal, the general idea behind Aeonic Doom was to be a small, close knit community of friends.
Never interested in the general showboating /egotistical things we often saw around haven, we decided to offer an alternative. AD would be a highly organized guild where mature players can relax (Edit, Prophe: Besides Myrtle :|) and have some fun - but strictly in a non-judgemental, friendly atmosphere (12 y/o “I am pro”, “I’m awesome”, “my daddy bought me UVs” types need not apply (apart from prophe dat nub, angry one)).
We never planned for the guild to become so popular. However it turned out there are many like-minded players in the game, and so over time we grew. We started a second guild for our alts “Shadow AD” (the geekier reader might realize this is a reference to /etc/shadow in *nix operating systems and if so – come join up, you’ll prolly like it here). The idea for the alt guild was to play GvG LD matches more easily, when there were not enough members of other guilds online to form teams against us.
After some time, members decided they like the name Shadow AD better (Edit Prophe: well, besides a couple of random whiny ******s /yes Myrtle agrees! ohhh and I just noticed I can do these! öäå) and so Shadow AD became the “main” guild. There’s a whole heap of stuff we do/have done in the past (but we are lazy *cough* um, I mean, modest we won’t list those all here). If you want to know something type “Aeonic Doom” and “Shadow AD” into youtube. You can also check out the public areas of our guild forum (aeonicdoom.us.tf) or even our guild wiki page (http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Shadow_AD_Guild)
Please be aware we operate a strict quality over quantity policy¨(fo sure, look at Prophe and Grand-elderly(haha gotcha you vanhus)moffpuppeteer for example (Edit: Prophe says, do not worry I am from the ninternets! GMP Edit: The quality of my vanhus-ness is not to be matched! Grandma makes the best cookies ), we are extremely selective and we only allow admittance of a small number of recruits at any given time – this is to ensure the cohesiveness of the guild is maintained. (Edit: Prophe “It’s a me MARIO”).
And out of nowhere came Prophe the Master of the Universe and pwned everyone (Some awesome sound effects here). The End (happy one)
Joining:
We do not recruit players who are previously unknown to us (i.e. we will never spam invites). The only way a player can become a member of Shadow AD is for one of our members to have met you in-game (or you contact us here via this forum) and to have spent some time running the clockworks/LD with you and getting to know you a little. I promise, we won't bite. Afterward, that member may pass on your name to an officer or GM and request a guild invite be sent. Such requests will usually be honoured, unless you are known to us as behaving in a manner that would contravene our guild rules. To receive an invite from Shadow AD should therefore be considered a privilege in itself.
Due to the selectivity of the invite process, we have a very low rate of member departure and our members tend to be skilled, mature, knowledgeable, friendly and willing to converse over guild chat. As well as discussing SK, our members have been known to talk together on topics including philosophy, music, games, books, the Internet, other games, cars and movies (as well as sharing the odd joke together ofc) . We are not a purely LD guild – but we do play it and we’d love it if new recruits were up for LD with us (Prophe edit: and do not like Norespekt, unless you want some whining after every match you do with this guy, Norespekt if you are reading this PLEASE join us ¬¬).
Before our officers give time getting to know you they will check you meet the minimum requirement for consideration as a recruit. These are:
- 4/5* (this is not a snooty/elitist thing, as we are 4/5*, players of other tiers would probably be bored, come see us later though okies)(GMP Edit: Or see Ljusa in game. He wants you to be his Padawan!)
- Agree to our guild rules (these can be found here: http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Shadow_AD_Guild)
- Active player. We all take breaks from time to time, and we all have lives (hopefully) outside of SK. But you'd better be around for more than just keeping that seat of yours warm.
- Not a guild hopper. If you were in a guild before or are in one now, we’ll want to know why you left/are considering leaving it . If you were kicked, we’ll want to know why. No need for details just a general idea. However if you are not forthcoming we may check with your ex-guildies. (No we are not spies, we are ninjas)
- Be willing to play LD with us at least sometimes. We don't want damage wannabes, so caps are required. We welcome people who are Experts in killing only, but if you are balanced, that would be better. It's not all about you. GLD is won with points and caps. Not damage. We work as team, we win as a team. If you can't be a team player, then we don't want to play with you.
- Maturity. It is not about age, it is about your brain. We don't want childish people with us (this isn’t a frikkin kindergarten, orly?)
- Have team player skills (see the above)
So, if you are still reading, want to apply and are not at all put off by this awful (bestest) attempt at a recruitment thread, then go you! I think we like you already! Please contact GMs Prophe, Myrtle, Grandmoffpuppeteer or Masterboss; or recruiting officers: Evilrux, Xxdragneel, Chickenmommy, Dr-Badman, Markone, Aleksone, Kanoka, Ljusa. You can also reply to this thread – we’ll try to check it frequently (if we aren’t totally blinded by our own awesumness (wuz dat, can not read this, imam blind! Parently I dont rite good to, nuff said busdhkdjshogiugkljgng.mkljgfkljlgdfjiatchesfuuuuUUUuu)
Luvsies to you all possible recruits and future besties <3
ps- we TOTALLY weren't drunk when making this... Cuz ya know... We'd NEVER play SK drunk. Ever. I think. Maybe. Except on days of the week that end in 'day'. Or have letters in their names. We might be a lotta durnk on those days.
Bump!
