2007 Get to know the guildies thread

In order to help us get to know eachother better, please post in this thread. As the leader as of 9Jan07, I will start. I am starting this thread in the officer's forum to allow each of the officers to reply first. Once all the officers have replied, the thread will be moved to the general forum to allow everyone to introduce themselves.

This thread is only for introducing yourself, please limit yourselves to 1 post per person. No specific information is required and if you are under 18, please limit the information you post to respect any limits your parents may have set for you in respect to personal information online.

Anything else about yourself you want to share:
You will likely find one of us online almost anytime of day unless we are sleeping, at church or on vacation. We have 2 accounts and are in both guilds. In general, Kel enjoys helping new players out where her lvl 20 warrior can tank through anything, Popcorn prefers standing around dancing and Rho gets through each chapter quickly to help out with the later quests and missions. We try to keep a full load of basic crafting materials on hand to help people get their first couple set of armor and a healthy supply of decent weapons to pass on to guildie’s growing characters

Name: Randy
Age: 53 (no thats not a typo)
Home: Pineywoods of East Texas

Position: Member of the SoE/SOE Ex-Officers Club and Dad to Astrod00d

Characters: My male characters have Halonic in their names. My female characters have Shalonic in their names. Exceptions are "Angelina County" (who incidentally has become my favorite), named for the county I live in here in Texas and Star Slobberknocker who was originally my youngest son's character.

PvE Goals: I own all three chapters. I always complete each chapter with at least 5 characters. Otherwise I am an uber farmer and chest opener.

PvP: I leave that for the younger folks.

Pet peeves...people who ask for help and don't say please. People who I want to help but won't give me time to finish whatever I am doing first.

I am old, bossy, and picky about who I help and those I play with regularly. I have a lot of in-game experience (Monk 4.5 million, Necro 3 million, and Ranger & Warrior 2 million each for starters). If I like you I would literally give you anything I have, but if I don't you may find yourself on my ignore list (only one guildie on it ATM). Patience is not my forte.

I am always willing to help unless I am busy at the moment. If you need anything I will do my best to get you it. Usually you dont see me asking for help, if I do ask for help it is because I have tried a 1000 times and still cant get it. Most my expertiese are in missions, farming, and a little bit of chest running.
