Overrated is overrated. Also possibly recruiting.

[Impact]

Edit: Recruitment closed, guild closed.

Overrated was established yesterday because we felt that the guild-balance of the server was, and there is no tactful way of stating this; complete and unadulterated shit. So whilst mindful that the rational way to mend the situation was to rally all the smaller guilds into an alliance or convince them to merge into a single, powerful entity designed to stick it to the man, preferably through the backdoor, we went ahead and told reason to shove it and made the situation worse by leaving our respective guilds and forming this band of brothers, this group of gentlemen, or as is probably more accurate; this coalition of cretins!

So now I stand before you, a humble man on a mission, to recruit everyone proficient enough in the english language not to respond to this post with "hi m8 i wan join u plz lvl 76 rouge", everyone perceptive enough to understand that our tactful ignoring of your 4 consecutive requests in capslock for help getting through the legion of kappas into the goddamn shrine probably means that we expect you to be self-reliant enough to be able reach the conclusion that you're going to have to hire one of the 70.000 paladins that are always AFK in Prontera to do your bidding. Also we will recruit any and all girls willing to send pictures, preferably of beautiful scenic locations. I myself am particularly partial to photographies depicting rivers or streams accompanying lush and verdant landscapes. If you're short on this sort of material, however, pictures of your tits will do nicely.

So basically what it amounts to is that as long as you fulfill the following criteria, we want you (in our pants);
-This should go without saying after the content of the post thus far, but just to spoon it in; you will tolerate, if not appreciate immature'ish humour. (if at any point during your reading of this post you found yourself cringing or reaching for the phonenumber to the carepolice I kindly ask of you to piss right off)
-You will write and understand english well enough not to resort to abbreviations or text-speak. I don't give two shits about nationality, but if I see you unironically going "lol u tk| him 2 da bar?" in Prontera I will plant my +4 Shoes of Health up your guild-membership faster than you can say "y u h8in on me m8".
-You will participate in WoE. I don't ask you to give up your imaginary day-job, but if you're not giving me ample explanation as to why you've been missing for the last two WoE's I will most likely throw your lazy ass off the list.
-You will not think guildchat is the outlet of choice for your insatiable need to spew inane Internet memes. This means that if you at any point come across the idea that "desudesudesu", "GIRUGAMESH!1!1!1" or, say, the word "taco" is a rather clever thing to randomly toss into my chatlog unprovoked, I will kick your clever ass out of my exclusive tree-house club. Qualifier: This does not by any means mean that I am forbidding Internet memes, just that there is a goddamn time and place for everything, and that time and place is when a particular meme fits into the goddamn conversation at hand. As an example; If I'm going on about how awesome I am and how I can solo LOD and that any and all other monks are ants compared to the might of my stature and below-belt endowment (all as a matter of fact true, of course), it is perfectly fine for you to break in with "COOL STORY BRO". If I am, however, explaining how to get to the Mistress map and you offer the same sentiment, I will cool you out of my story bro, if you catch my meaning.

The guild is aimed at offering a challenge to the powers that be since WoE has been overtly one-sided as of late, and what with Punisher throwing a hissy-fit and the nationalists not even WoE'ing we saw no other option than to toss ourselves into the guild-business. Failing this, we will run around during WoE and portal-camp everyone we find in a futile attempt at displaying our utter contempt for guilds that recruit every active player in the server and thusly turn WoE into nothing more than an elaborate animu-version of Whac-A-Mole. We will also bring you along MvP'ing as long as you're not a mouthbreather, and we'll help with gear to the extent that it doesn't involve us going out of our way to appease your lazy bum.

Contact Impact, Cirrus, Phrygian, Craig or BeeAreBee in-game for details, or just post here for questions, comments or insults.

That became a bit bigger a wall of text than anticipated, but there you have it. I also ask the GM's to let me know if my language isn't christian enough for the american audience and allowing me some leeway to edit it instead of deleting it and banning me. Thank you.

Just to specify; you don't have to be a grammar-nazi. Just coherently able to string together words and sentences in english.

Burrito > Taco

This height of proficiency is not tolerable and will not be disregarded.
There is a decree that prohibits the use of words larger than 4 letters on Thursdays. I, of course, am impervious to this commandment.

Therefore, I hereby stipulate a coalition among you cretins!

May thine wrath engorge upon all who are compelled to confront the valor of Overrated. (Carepolice are permitted to receive a second serving, if requested.)


Remember kids, always say no to drugs, except ones what look like Flintstones Vitamin Tablets. They're rather scrumptious.


PS: I'm not a Prontera Lawn Gnome.
I could, however, be a Flamingo.

tl;dr

[Strawberry]

Best guild recruitment thread I've seen in quite some time. If I wasn't already in a guild, this thread would have been reason enough to join.

Well written, Impact.
