probably for the best. i only take in those who can only be, and are, Iron Dragon to the bone. patience tells all, good luck in your guild, hope it is fitting.

hello there, thanks for considering Iron Dragon as a possible guild to join. i shall friend request you in-game and then see how you play, to find out if you have Iron Dragon in your blood. >:D

this is a casual guild...if i don't check every hour or every day even...so be it. i replied in under a week. if somebody thinks they are Iron Dragon, then they will stop at nothing to be recruited. this is not your run-of-the-mill guild. i accept you if you are Iron Dragon....whether that is only myself, or others want to join the name and creed i made and demand: represent pure pwnage whenever they enter a dungeon / level / mission.

[no personal attacks please]

peace, and good luck in Spiral Knights. see you in LD. - Jumpy

let me break it down for your simple mind:

1. you are not in the Iron Dragon Guild.

2. you are not requesting to be recruited into the Iron Dragon Guild.

3. you are only an outsider with an opinion and (noble) emotional defense reflex towards a dealing with a recruit request in this thread.

4. this Guild is not a democracy, its vision and ideals are run by an Iron Fist, unwaivering in its Principles and Expectations.

5. let me give you an example: i wanted a job at a certain place of business. i hounded and kept at them for 2 months, because
that was the job i wanted. i did not give up, nor denounce that business..i kept at it, 2 times a week i contacted the hiring
manager. even after being put off and told perhaps another business would be more suiting for me, i pursued this work. until,
after enough perserverance and effort, i convinced the hiring manager to give me an interview and a shot. then, after i was hired,
i set out to prove that they had made the correct choice in hiring me, by proving my value through hard work, dedication, and rising above the average associate. i proved myself a valuable asset and contributor to the Team. that kind of effort and desire is what i look for...not people who give up after 1 week..or 2 weeks. if you truly want something, then nothing short of personal incompetence will keep you from obtaining it. THAT is what i look for in my recruits. the Heart of the Iron Dragon. i accept no false pretences, hopes or wishes, if i am to share my Guild name with another Knight. i will adventure alone, or with those of like-mind and spirit, but i shall not settle for less.

[no personal attacks please]

8. let me remind you that this is not general forums, but a personal discourse between myself, my guild-mates, and potential recruits.

9. any outsider input will only be seen here as trolling, so please don't put yourself out or embarrass yourself anymore. your critiques and analyzations are of no consequence here.

10. let me remind you once again that this the Guild Recruitment area of the forums, and is not the General forums area.

2 things you will almost always find in dungeons: dragons....and ...trolls. nobody ever aspired to be a troll though...but us dragons love to play with them to pass the time. the endless centuries of time. (you will notice that you don't see me in other people's Guild Recruitment threads expressing my thoughts on their doings)

once again, may i refer you to post #609, and if you feel insulted, that is purely on you in your own mind and perception of things, i am merely clarifying an easy and should-be-common-sense scenario.

Thanks for finding and taking an interest in becoming a part of Iron Dragon. maybe you have Iron Dragon blood in you, only time will tell.

i am sorry to inform you, that at this time, i am only recruiting from people whom i find on runs and do runs with on occasion. maybe i will find you deep in the Clockworks someday and see if you are an Iron Dragon at heart. best of luck. - Jumpy

sorry Fwahe, i am only taking in Knights whom i do regular runs with at the moment. best of luck to you.

Arkode, i will chat you up in-game. Knights are either Iron Dragon to the bone, or they are not at all. Either way, i always discover which is True.

Rise as an Iron Dragon, or be the meal upon which we feast. - Jumpy

the only requirements to wear Iron Dragon tags are:

you must be able to solo FSC and solo kill Vanaduke using 0* armor and helm

for recruitment into the Iron Dragon Guild, something more along these lines is needed:

full proto FSC solo no deaths

this will also be accepted for consideration(proto with any shield):

nice runs.

you will notice that i haven't put anybody down, merely posed a fun challenge that not everybody can do and also helps keep FSC entertaining.
some Guilds use a McDonald's type application to join...i prefer to see how people play before i hand out Iron Dragon tags. this little challenge will get you deep into the FSC levels and understanding:
- how distance can be used
- how to dodge efficiently
- that you don't need much equipment before you can tackle FSC
- how each area of each Depth can be handled and improved upon
- shield use(or non use)
- how to stay alive by always monitoring your health
- how to appreciate other players that get this

..but thanks for showing how snarky you are :)

hit me up with a friend's request and i will gladly do a proto run or some other random run with you.
...unless you are scared and/or didn't do those runs solo but had help from friend(s) before screeny :D

(P.S. Pro gamers would have just said "Done. Thanks for the challenge. Next.")
- Jumpy

so basically you are chickening out from doing some runs with me?

and you are saying running FSC and killing Vanaduke solo and in only proto armor/helm/shield with no deaths is not a challenge and anybody can easily do it?

and you say you don't need to brag your abilities, yet you are not here for recruitment....but only to try and show that you can do this Challenge easily?

i would bet that many players would disagree with you.

i would love to run it with you and your 'First Try!' abilities. i run it almost every day in this gear and don't always succeed in not using my emergency rev...but i do enjoy some of the random events which can unfold and kill you in this type of run.

- Jumpy

nice. interesting takes on runs is my favorite. xD

hit me up with a friend's request in-game and we will do some runs n such...see if you have Iron Dragon blood in ya!

- Jumpy

send me a friend request in-game and i will do some runs with you when i see you...your armor and shield, you won't need them.

whoahhh...i feel a presence i have not felt in a long time...hmmmm.....
