I love that we work a compressed work week, 3 days on 3days off, 4 days on 4 days off - I live for my weekends - GAME TIME!!! Bad thing is (cry) I can't play on work days a 12hr shift and 1hr commute each way does not give much time for anything else.

Not at all, in fact you have some competition for that prestigious title.

I understand the cleanroom 'fun' you speak of. I worked in many for a number of years. I worked for a company that built them for comapanies like motorola, intel etc. We did the early phases of construction to the tool install. Wasn't a bad job, constant cool temperature, got to wear a ninja suit, and went home cleaner than when I showed up.

Hello Brakkish,

That would be nice to meet others as old/young as I am. I think playing keeps me young (at heart anyway).

Not sure what you mean by constant cool temp, the fab I work in can be down right hot at time, that bunny suit (you call it a ninja suit) with the hood, booties and mask can make it seem like I am in a sauna.

Greetings Nightowl and welcome to the fun house. Please do be sure to check back often as we will have all sorts of fun questions for you. And I'll start em.

1. Do you see HFC as a home for you in future games, or just for Rift? (we do have an active LoTRO branch as well if you still play).

2. Cake, Cookies or Pies?

3. You are in a random group running a dungeon. You see someone else in the group running the same class as you and they are having problems with it and keep dying. Meanwhile the rest of the group starts complaining about it, and being rude to this person (calling them noob, ect..). What would you do in this situation?

[Nightowl]

Hello Tumbletum,

!. I see it as a home hopefully. I haven't played LoTRO in awhile, not since I found Rift. Rift just seems to suit me lots to do and see. and I really like how the game works and looks

2. depends on what kind and what I am in the mood for - make it cake today. (got any extra?)

3. I whisper them and say ignore them, they were just were you are now, but for some reason forget how it was to be learning.

[Altha]

Hello and Welcome-

What a great initial application and Q&A!

in fact you have some competition for that prestigious title.

Indeed. They revel in it. But you can take 'em, if you like.

I whisper them and say ignore them, they were just were you are now, but for some reason forget how it was to be learning.

This and your application is almost an automatic Yes, but I'll ask a few questions for posterity.
Seems like you've read the application FAQ and code of conduct, etc.

Do you have a type of class that you usually play in MMOs? (healer, dps, tank, etc. )
Also, do you play a few MMOs at once, i.e. polygamerous, as we say around here, or just 1-2?
Hmm, 'NightOwl' - do you play late into the 'West Coast' or PST evening gaming times?

[Nightowl]

Hello Altha,

I like ranged dps, but don't mind healing. Have never tried tanking.

I keep it to one game at a time, by that I mean I only keep one account active.

Nightowl, says it. I play mostly at night. (night worker and keep the same hours on my days off) I am usually on after 5 pm on Wed, Thur and Fri nights. I also play every other Sat (my nights off).

[Altha]

Yes

[Tumbletum]

Good answers and nice meeting and talking with you in game last night. Hope to see you around some more.

[Nightowl]

Hello again Tumbletum,

I had a great time running with you guys last night. Running with the guild in instances and rifts and helping out with quests is what its all about.

I look forward to learning from you guys and helping out when I can. Hope to see you again. :)
