Littlesnowie's application

In-Game Name:
Littlesnowie

Your real name or age (Optional):
Jimmy, 24

Total Level and # of rebirths:
Total Level - 10354, Exploration - 2294, Rebirths - 117
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Talents (Since this was also in the App. requirements):
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

How active are you in game?:
I log in daily for several hours.

Previous guilds?:
Sunrise: Known as Eclipse in Europe, a guild that, back then, consisted of most of the strongest surviving members of the server until it finally had to be taken down. This guild was later remade in NA under the name of Sunrise.

Most of us would be in the same guild again, and it lasted for a year or two, although interest in the game began to fade and guild members became very inactive, as did I. I went on a hiatus and decided to leave the guild in the hands of another trusted member. By the time I got back into the game, the guild was completely inactive, dead, nobody had logged in for ages. So I decided to leave it, it still exists, but it's a wasteland now.

I was the leader of both Eclipse (EU) and Sunrise (NA), despite not acting very leader-like at all, decisions were always made as a group of friends.

Why Dreams?:
Dreams has been around for a relatively long time and still manages to remain somewhat active.

Referrals:
Currently none. I was told I wouldn't need any until Christmas.

How long have you been playing?:
Two years in Europe and about to hit my third year in NA, so about 5 years.

What kind of skills/accomplishment do you have?:
Gosh, I don't really know. I have all life skills except Engineering/Magic Craft at Rank 1. I'm not much of a bragger but if you insist on knowing things I've done for Mabi in the past, ask away.

Any other information you would like for us to know:
People used to talk about me behind my back and I have no clue what kind of reputation I have. I should also mention that I'm a guy, a lot of people seem relatively shocked about this but I've had a rough past and I'd rather put that issue behind me, but I will explain if it is required.

It's also clear that I'm terrible at doing applications, so ask me whatever you want to know!

Hello Littlesnowie:

I noticed you lived in Belgium - I was well aware that many players in Sunrise had time zones that were out of sync with North America's.

I believe in Belgium you guys are 6 hours ahead of the Eastern Time Zone.

Most of Dreams are based in the EST, with a few exceptions of course.

How do you plan on adjusting for this to play with the majority of our members?

Now for my core questions:

1). What do you feel you can bring to Dreams? Do you feel there is something unique about you as a player/person? Elaborate.

2). Would you describe yourself as an introvert or extrovert? Do you put yourself out there? Do you like to be social?

3). What is your favorite combat class to lead with? Secondary?

Greetings,
for starters I'd like to comment about....

"It's also clear that I'm terrible at doing applications..."

* I didn't think your app was terrible.

some questions now
* Although you do not have any references, (not required at this time) do you know anyone in the guild, and have u participated in any runs or missions with Dreams members?

*Other then the longevity and activeness(not sure that's a real word), What is your general take on Dreams?

*You have many master tallents and a substantial level. How would you interact with members who are not quite there yet, in combat and otherwise?

*What is your favorite color? in game and IRL if they differ and why?

Thank you
Whims

I have come across and seen you a few times at field bosses/sm's you generally seem very to yourself, If you believe people talked behind your back I'm curious to what they would talk about or what you believe it pertained to. (A)

Are you go with the flow or strictly organized? By this I guess what I'm trying to ask is if something goes wrong in a run or someplace do you just go with it and make it work or get upset and the whole run was ruined? (B)

Good Luck on your application.

(A) The rumors that were spread behind my back were in the past, and I don't know how long they persisted or how many people believed them. If I could quote anything someone told me: "Some people tend to hate on those who receive a lot of love."

(B) I try to keep everything organized, but when something goes wrong, I'll do my best to make the best of it. A lot of field boss raids used to go wrong and there's often not much to be done about that, some people just prefer to fight these things their own way, and since there's usually not much we can do to save it, we just join in. (Not much of a "We" now though, Sunrise is as good as gone.)

(C) I tend to adjust to different time zones rather easily. I'm also a very nocturnal person (especially during holidays/weekends) so I can probably work that out with little to no difficulty.

(1) Hopefully someone who is able to help out those who need it. I have a hard time saying no to anything (within my capabilities). I'm a very good listener so I can have people rant at me if they need to. I'm a very carefree person and give dozens more than I take. I don't know if there's anything unique about me other than that I am apparently able to draw attention quite easily, which may not always be a good thing. Oh, I'm also pretty good with the math and technical understanding of Mabinogi, if that means anything at all.

(2)In real life, I'm a really introverted person. But when it comes to chatting, forums, IRCs and the like, I become the complete opposite. I'm also a lot better with the telephone and skype voice calls for example. I guess the short way to put it is that I'm very comfortable talking to people as long as I can't see them or have them near me. I guess it's because I feel safer that way? I dunno.

(3) If Healer and Bard were considered actual combat classes I'd say I'd go with those. But I'd say Magic is in first place, followed by Archery. I much prefer to play a supportive role from the back line, but am quite capable of handling myself at close range as well.

(W) I have indeed participated in Shadow Mission Parties and Raids with some Dreams members in the past, as well as some ex-members of Dreams (Casian and Thugsta are ex-members, right?)

(X) Despite the drama that has been around (I bet every guild has had to sufer from this), I did not let that influence my opinion. The few interactions I have had with Dreams members in the past were quite enjoyable and I do not remember having been on bad terms with any of them. (Not like I'm ever on bad terms with anyone in-game at all)

(Y) I am quite supportive of newer/lower level players and assist them anyway I can. While I think it's nice to have a high level/talents to brag about sometimes, it should not be used as to fuel an ego that makes lower-level people feel bad. We all started at level 1 one day.

(Z) Blue, quite obvious (See image below), followed closely by red and green, and somewhat further below that, pink. I have a lot of different outfit sets in different colors in Mabinogi and tend to switch them out occasionally, but I wear blue most of the time. This is because I was (literally) born and raised with Sonic The Hedgehog and his games/TV-shows, I absolutely love the guy. Green and red just attracted my attention afterwards as they complete the RGB standards. And my love for pink is related to a big part of my life which still affects me up to this day.

Dang, large post is large.

Ah, well I thought Thugsta was in Dreams once, because my memory puts them together for whatever reason (maybe they were friends? I dunno)

First off, I have seen you around Dunny a lot in the past, as well as Nexon Forums.  I know you put a lot of effort and pride into your guild.

Dreams is a very old guild with a lot of history.

(1) How would you react to being judged on that history as people approach you either positively or negatively?

(2) Did you play on NA before the EU server was started?

(3) Would you put forth the same effort in a guild you were a member of versus being the leader?  How would this vary in your approach?  What would you bring to Dreams besides just another character?

On a side note, the holiday season does make things a bit hectic with family.  I wish you good luck on your application and hope you had a great holiday season yourself!

Hue, I didn't put that much pride in Sunrise, it was a group effort and I never acted very leader-like.

(1) I'd be willing to listen and have it explained to me if it's negative, if those negative things are wrong or based on false rumors I'd like to do my best to correct them.

(2) I think I got in like, the Open Beta for NA. But I quit on day 1 because I lost to a Young Raccoon!

(3) I think my approach wouldn't vary all that much, I was never really a "leader" in Sunrise, all decisions were made together. As for what I can bring to Dreams, well.. I'm someone who has a really hard time helping those in need or even those who aren't really in need, but can be helped, I'll impulsively stick out a lending hand wherever and whenever I can. If i'm nearby when people mention something I can get for them, they'll find it in their mailbox without knowing what's going on! You might even have your skills trained for you! (figuratively speaking, of course)

But yeah, whenever I get asked something that is within my capabilities, I probably won't say no. I do as much good as I can for people without being asked as well.

Also, Happy New Year!

Hi Littlesnowie! Thank-you for applying to Dreams!

I'm curious about your EU history because I played on EU for a short while back when it first came out. I was dragged there by a good friend for a while despite being Canadian (playing with a proxy SUCKED).

Out of curiosity what server were you on in EU and did you happen to know Mecc there at all?

I don't really have any questions for you as it seems there's nothing terribly concerning with your application that has popped out at me. I admire your previous dedication to your guild as loyalty to a guild is something that is very important to me ^^!

Good-luck with your application!

Hello Cassa! (the first I greet by name on these forums)

I played on Macha and yes I knew Mecc very well. I had some mixed opinions about him for a long time but he's a nice guy once you get to know him. He tended to be a little more on the mean side when it came to public conversations, though. He was very charismatic and somehow always managed to talk people in getting him what he wanted. He sat in Dunbarton a lot with his white Muffler Robe, spiky hair, and ego bow, too. (Oh look, I remember details, lol)

On the subject of my history on EU, I had a lot of false accusations going around about me which apparently followed me all the way to NA. But I managed to prove most of those accusations to be wrong after a while, I'm glad about that.

Good to know there's nothing terribly concerning though! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you too!

I knew Mecc very well! Thought I recognized you from somewhere or heard about you somehow from back then! Wasn't anything negative that I can remember so I hope that eases your mind somewhat about it !

Is there a reason you joined Primera?

Just a temporary home?

Roxxaz wrote:Is there a reason you joined Primera?

It is temporary. And it's also because somebody acted very impulsively! You can ask Keo about that, she knows the entire deal around it, heh.

I apologize for suddenly posting here again after a while, but after reading through my own answers I noticed I made a mistake when replying to one of Jeweldragona's questions, and it's quite important to me so I figured I'd correct it:

Littlesnowie wrote:(3) ...I'm someone who has a really hard time ignoring those in need or even those who aren't really in need, but can still be helped, ...

There, I needed to fix that word. I'm eager to jump at the chance to help, not the opposite.

There have been a few days without questions but feel free to ask more if there's anything you really need to know anyway! Unless you guys already know everything about me (or I'm just a really uninteresting looking individual, heh).

Also, it looks like it's time I finished my Music Buff gear since after all this time, I've finally met who makes better music than I do. (DANG YOU ROXXAAAAAZ~~~~)

Not to worry! I think the Recruiting Officers just need some time to get together and make their decision and sort out any last minute details before giving you an answer. I know they have been really busy/on holidays. Thank you for your patience!
