What guilds have you been in previously? Why did you leave?	Elysium, I don't think we have the motivation to seek harder content.
Our raid times are from 8pm-12 on Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday and Monday. Can you make the majority of these raids?	I can make all of them except for the first two hours of Sunday, due to a prior commitment.
How did you find out about Sol Invictus? Do you know any current members?	I learned about SI in the dawn of time, when I first transferred to Thrall. I don't know any members except those I've talked to.
Have you read the guild charter?	Indeed.
Have you ever undergone a name change and or a server transfer? What name did you used to go by and what previous servers have you been on under that name(s)?	Previously I was Critatic on Draka.
What sort of previous raid experience do you have?	I've done all Wrath raids, but I didn't raid much in BC except for kara.
What sort of addons do you use?	Xperl frames, Omen, Recount, SexyMap, Dogma, Quartz castbar, Bartender.
Tell us a little bit about yourself. No less than 20 words please.	I'm the stereotypical cooly insane and insanely cool college kid. In my real life I play bassoon for the University of Chicago orchestra, where I'm studying chemistry as undergrad. I'm a bit of an amateur achievement whore, but nowhere near as bad as Popalicious :)
What is your biggest weakness as a player?	Probably the fact that I talk too much, or type in raid chat, rather. I just get very into the fights and want to comment on so many people that sometimes I forget to stfu and let the officers do their thing.
Tell us about a time where the game made you frustrated; how did you handle it?	Elysium was one of those guilds that had an absolutely terrible time downing Yogg. We managed to get him down pre-nerf, but it was incredibly difficult for us, not because of our gear level but just the fact that the fight requires everyone in the raid to focus and concentrate very hard, and there was always one person that would screw up the raid. Though it took us about three weeks, we finally got through it, mainly by focusing on helping one or two people that consistently had problems.
How long have you been playing WoW? Have you played any other MMOs?	I've played a teeny weeny bit of Aion just to see how it is. I've been playing since shortly before BC came out.
Do you have any alternate sets of gear? For example, any resist, healing, tanking or dps sets of gear for something that is not your main spec?	I have a PvP set in about full Furious.
If you could change one thing about your class, what would it be?	I would bring Affliction back to the top of the dps trees, because it's so challenging and satisfying to play. It's silly that our PvP best choice is (arguably) the only choice for raiding as well.
What are you looking for in a guild?	Elysium meets most of my requests in a guild, but if I could change one thing it would be to have more of an attitude to challenge ourselves, and not coast along.
Do you gear for raids, or raid for gear?	I'd say I gear for raids; I raid for both the glory and the fun of it, and gear is an excellent thing to pick up along the way, admire, and show off to everyone else.
Do you have any alts? If so, tell us about them.	Just a scrub DK.
If we were to talk to your former guildmates, what do you think they would say about you?	That I'm an excellent and friendly dps, I'm famous for cracking jokes around here. They'd probably also comment on my use of macros (healthstone, soulwell) which change frequently, and how in the summer I would ninja afk during long trash.
If you were asked to sit out of a raid while another player was brought in, how would you handle it?	Well, I'd do it without complaint, especially as an initiate. Especially if the person was a healer/tank to adjust the balance of a fight, if I was the chosen dps I'd understand that.
Is there anything else you feel we should know about you? Links to WWS reports for healer and dps applicants are appreciated if possible.
