Entropia join date (or approx): I played once, back in 2007 for a month, but lost that account due to inactivity over the years. I just came back this past week, starting at square one and re-learning it all.
Agility: I'm at work and unable to check, but if i recall last night it was around 10?

Notable skills in, or interest for...

Mining: I would like to try this out, but haven't yet, I have too many questions still.
Hunting: This will probably be my number one activity, and is something I've already started dabbling in.
Crafting: A possibility in the future, but from what I hear it isn't very useful for a new player as the amount of PED you'll burn through can be high.

Personal characteristics (keywords about your personality): I have a great sense of humor, and love to joke around often. I'm loyal to a fault to the people who've earned it. I'm rather laid back, and don't get very needy, I tend to fly solo if left to my own devices, but don't mind group activities if there is an offer with fun people.

What do you seek in the Entropian community: Like-minded individuals to share in the laughs, and help get through the tough times, or just to chat with and alleviate any lurking boredom.

What kind of help are you hoping to get by joining a society: Mainly advice. Seeing as this game can have a literal dollar cost attached to mistakes, I'd feel more comfortable running certain decisions by people with experience before diving headfirst into something.

How can you help to make this happen: I fully intend to pay it forward, reciprocating to other players any advice that I can dispense to help them out.

Edited to add: I should mention that my time in game might be limited compared to some of the younger kids with less obligations. I have two children and a wife, as well as a healthy addiction to Xbox and Minecraft that I have learned to balance around. I think in the end it will be better for me, as I won't be online 5-6 hours a night blowing through PED, but I wanted any interested Soc's to have a realistic expectation of my availability. I tend to get in about 2 hours per day on average, usually in the evening.

Also, I swear I'm not a freak by having a in-game female avatar, I just thought I remembered (probably mistakenly) that female armor was cheaper and more readily available.

Real life age: Over 20, Under 40

Entropia join date (or approx): 11/12/10
Agility: 2

Notable skills in, or interest for...

Mining: Interested in learning it, but not a lifelong dream.
Hunting: Sounds like alot of fun
Crafting: Mainly what I'm interested in, providing a service that is in demand is always a nice feeling.

Personal characteristics (keywords about your personality): I am the sort of person that puts 100% into accomplishing a task. * Please note that I do not believe in 110%, because then 100% is only 10/11 th's of the true 100%. ( I hope that made sense )*

What do you seek in the Entropian community: Honestly? I have had little experience in the Entropian community, and could not truly give a reply that is suitable without the proper understanding of Entropia's diverse community. ( Basically, I'm not gonna bs you as I don't know what to seek.)

What kind of help are you hoping to get by joining a society: This may sound a little crass, but I am not looking for help. What I am hoping for is a society that is willing to see the potential value that I can contribute and understanding the naivity of being new to a vast community.

How can you help to make this happen: I could say anything I wanted to and yet you wouldn't know if it was true or not. Just being honest. If you really want to know how I can make this happen, send me a private message or let's chat. Get to know me and judge me from your experiences... not an application :)


Looking back over this makes it seem like I should rewrite it, but it's who I am so I'm not going too. I am actually quite friendly, but at times also blunt. This adoption service, in my opinion, is an excellent program to enrich Entropia's community. Kudo's should be given to all participants in being involved. <-- I wish other games had this.

Notable skills in, or interest for...

Interested in all three of the following most interested in mining.
Mining:
Hunting:
Crafting:

Personal characteristics (keywords about your personality): I'm a sarcastically witty individual with a dash of cheesy. I enjoy the LOL's in game and try to keep a sense of levity at all times. In other RPG's I am the joking worker, always pushing to get things done more efficiently or more eco while still wanting to have fun. When someone asks a question and I know the answer I am quick with reply, if I don't know the answer I am equally quick in finding an answer or someone who knows the answer. I chafe at authority without cause but thoroughly enjoy and work hard when in a team setting that applies the idea "leadership by necessity not by the taking". I am not afraid to take charge when needed nor am I afraid to sit back and let others lead.

What do you seek in the Entropian community: camaraderie, tutorship, fun, intelligent discourse, teamplay, bad jokes

What kind of help are you hoping to get by joining a society: Learning good collection technique (mining,hunting, sweating etc), attacking technique, crafting technique, adventure with others of similar humor, a society that might be forgiving of my real world flaw that slows me down on occasion (especially typing), good friends, beer-do they serve beer here?, the same as if in a lan group

How can you help to make this happen: be like the brave little toaster, other than that bring my A game to the society, always laugh at my own mistakes, remain curious, shower on occasion, and work to encourage others.

Thanks
