Abridged version for easy reading: I would like to have a trial period in your guild. I play games, read books, watch animation, eat stuff. My user name is Ukiyo Dawn. Unabridged version:After reading about this guild and its members I felt like it might be the place for me. So I'm going to go ahead and put in a request to join now even though I'm fairly new to GW. Been playing games since I was a little girl. I'm not new to online gaming, played FFXI for about a year and a half. I went through a rough bit as I had to quit and read about Guild Wars as an alternative option for my gaming fix. I'm a helpful and caring person ongame, but my hours online are generally limited. Read about you guys on Wiki and browsed your forums; you guys just seemed so awesome. My game name is Ukiyo Dawn. Ukiyo is a art nerd term regarding Japanese woodblock artists' from the 1900s. Dawn just seemed to go with it. I'm open to ongame suggestions. If I'm doing something wrong, its probably because I don't know any better. Learning new things is something I never get tired of anyway. I doubt I'll be online a lot at night, CST, United States. I'll probably be online morning, afternoon, or late afternoon. My real life info: 28, female, freelance graphic artist, painter and printmaker. I have a daughter who is 8. Keep some odd work hours due to my freelance job. I make good biscuits and love animation and books. I buy lots of useless books. I have a large collection of animated movies that I watch periodically. I watch old episodes of Bob Ross and like 80s junk. My art/journal/nonsense site is here if you want to know more about me: lavonia.deviantart.com. My real life name is Lavonia. You can call me von, vonia, skittles, or whatever else you come up with if you prefer it over the ongame name. Thanks for considering me. Cheers, Von

Thanks for the request, Von! You sound like you will make a great addition to the guild. She sound like she already knows about the trial period Stormy, so we just need to get it started. Hopefully you can add some guildies to your friends-list and vice-versa until we catch you on-line to send the invite. And if you make Biscuits, you have my vote. ;D Although they're proabably the American ones. But I'm not complaining.

My real life info: 28, female, freelance graphic artist, painter and printmaker. Hooray, another designer. Whoops, I mean graphic artist. Do you mostly do original artwork or also some graphic design? Don't get much opportunity to draw at work, myself... at least beyond thumbnail sketches or logo ideas. See you around. My IGN is Zalis Baenre. (I typically play EST sometime in the evenings, but not necessarily every night)

Hey you guys, thank you for the warm welcome. I do know about the trial period. I think its a smart idea for any guild. If someone could tell me about the donations. I've heard people talking about donating to their guilds, I believe. I'm willing to give whatever I can for the guild, just let me know. Stormy- Thanks for the warm welcome and for introducing me to some of the guild members. I'll be sure to say hello when I see you online again. Towel, thanks. Aren't biscuits actually a type of cookie in the U. K.? If so, I can make those too. Ha ha. Hi Lee, I'll add you to my friends list next time I'm online. Before you know it, the girls will all take over. lol. Hi Christian. I'll be looking forward to it. Zalis, I'll get you added, too. I've done a little bit of corporate design work for local companies, logos and minimal website design. At the moment, I've been more of a jack of all trades, depending on what I get paid for. I'm thinking seriously about getting an agent and working as a commercial illustrator though. ^^

Dawn joined just now, so: Welcome to the gang Dawn, hope the next too weeks are fun. Edit: in the UK, Biscuits are cookies. We just use a different word. We also use the word cookie, but that's really only used for chocolate chip cookie. An American biscuit is pretty close, if not the same as, the the British scone.

Welcome Dawn - don't worry about donations - it is more likely you need to accept gifts because our storage space runs always short. ;D

If someone could tell me about the donations. I've heard people talking about donating to their guilds, I believe. Don't believe anyone who wants donations, it's a scam. You're just responsible to muck out the mini pet stables until there's a newer applicant Glad you made it, I whispered you last night but you were busy or afk. Can you tell us how far your character(s) are in the game and which campaigns you have?

Haha. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone around the game. I was on for a bit earlier but I've been tied up with work all day today. Biscuit sounds cooler than cookie anyway. Hey Clarice, I'm sorry you sent me a message one night and I didn't reply. I was set to away and found the message the next day. I still haven't gotten the hang of everything. I had cleared an area and didn't want to leave so I just let the window open. I guess I should have set status to offline instead of away? I've just got the original GW. Level 12, E/Mo character. The other campaigns I'll try to pick up the other games as I work my way as I play. There's not a set of all the expansions in one pack now is there? Christian and Angel, thanks for the compliments on my work. Yeah, Lee is a sweetheart. Yeah I'm looking forward to having someone to chat with about art. I'm sure I'll talk Zalis's ear off about it.

State Away was ok; I tried then and once more when it was back to normal later. No problem, just happens when you're in a tough fight or away for a short time. Good, we try to party carefully and not destroy your game experience .

HEY! Welcome Von! Sorry I haven't been able to pop in with an earlier hello, but I haven't been around the past few days. Been very busy! Your art work is really nice. I too, have dabbled in the art field. I was a freelance illustrator for a few years. Here's a link to some of my stuff on Elfwood: www.elfwood.com/art/r/e/regnr8/regnr8.htmlHope to chat with you some in game! And you know what they say about MMORPG? Many Men Online Role Playing Girls. I'm a guy, so it's true.
