About <Casual/Kasual>:
Establshed in February 2005, Casual has consistently ranked among the top 40-60 US. We started our Horde side raiding guild in February of 2011, this is where you'll be applying now. Our past achievements include:
US 55th Kil’Jaeden Kill
Conqueror of Naxxramas
Obsidian Slayer
The Magic Seeker
US 37th Knock, Knock, Knock on Wood
US 32nd Firefighter
US 42nd Celestial Defender (Algalon)
Realm First: Death's Demise
Us 32nd Tribute to Mad Skill
US 61st Heroic Halion
Kasual currently raids 20 or less hours a week; we will never increase our raid times to compete with other guilds.
Kasual is composed mostly of mature adult men with jobs and other commitments (binge drinking, %*%!ing !!#@@s, reading, watching movies etc). Vent is quite lively with stories such as getting your girlfriend pregnant, %*%!ing married women, and other such great topics. Our raid core does contain the occasional female member (yes, they do exist on the internet). However, female gamers that can hang with us are of a very special breed. I should also warn you: if you do not have a sick sense of humor or cannot take the occasional (okay, frequent) racist or sexist joke, then you should not apply to our guild. It's like Lord of the Flies in here, only less same-sex awkwardness, or more. Your mileage may vary.
With such a short raiding schedule (6-10pm PST Monday through Thursday) we raid efficiently and effectively. We are only looking for highly skilled players who are able to commit to our schedule (and have class A personalities) and wont quit the first time they get to second base (anal is the new second base) with a girl. If you want to raid 28 hours a week, we are not what you are looking for.
We are also extremely active in arenas and PVP. Our raid group is full of current and past Gladiators, and we are always looking to bolster those numbers. Strong raiders that are also strong PVPers have a high likelihood of being accepted.
Application/Trial process:
- All applicants must fill out and submit an application from the template provided on this forum.
- The app should be PM'd to Shamlarie. In order to do so, you must register to our forums.
- If your application interests us, you will be contacted as soon as possible.
- Applicants who are approved after their vent interview will enter a trial period of 30 days. During this trial period you are tagged and will participate in as many raids as possible for evaluation.
- At the end of the trial period the decision is made whether to promote you to member or to let you go.
Notes for Applicants:
- Copy the application template to notepad and save a copy of your application for your own records on your machine.
- When submitting your application via PM on this forum, please note that you will NOT receive verification that it has been sent nor will it be copied to your outbox unless you check the option to do so when you send the PM.
Our DKP system: (AquaDKP)
Summary:
-Tier-based DKP pools
-Fixed event/kill DKP rewards
-Primary raid specs take precedence in determining loot
-Attendance-based bid tiers
-Sidegrade/upgrade options for rotting loot
For any questions, feel free to ask Nooze, Revelateur, or Ionization in game. Send a PM to Shamlarie on our boards with your application once it is completed. From there he will post it on our internal forums where we will evaluate your application and then set up a time for your vent interview. Most of the time we can figure out what kind of person you are in about 5 min of talking to you on vent, but some interviews last quite a bit longer depending on our need for your class. After the vent interview, we will make a decision based on the interview and your app and get back to you within a few days. Truly outstanding applicants won't wait nearly as long to hear back from us.

Gaming / I want to shit on Steams face
« on: July 20, 2010, 05:17:50 AM »
So I bought Knights of the Old Republic, the old one not the MMO. Anyways this hunk of shit will crash randomly when loading any of the movies in the game, so I had to shut those off by renaming them all. Now it freezes after a certain mission and will not load the next section. I installed the patch released by Lucasarts to see if that fixes it, and bam! now its asking for the play disc. Steam doesn't give refunds, hurray.

Hi there, I'm Shamlarie, you know me from such amazing things as "being dead all the time" "jumping down the elevator and dying" and "iceblocking the shit outa the raid"
Today I come to you with an open heart and an open hand.
In the past few years I have been questing to get the [item]Bindings of the Windseeker[/item]
Here is how my quest is going:
I know, I cried too, I cry a lot these days:
However, to brighten my day, I went to Ulduar and got this:
No not the tiger, THIS!
So now I implore you, my brothers in Casual, lets get a legendary for a shaman who will only use it as his offspec. I love you all, lets roll.

General Discussion / DVD drive problem
« on: March 07, 2010, 01:37:33 AM »
So yesterday I went to install some games from DVDs and found my DVD drive wasn't plugged in, so I plugged it in, installed Civ 4, thought everything was great. Today when I put anything other than Civ 4 in the drive, it makes my machine sluggish and will not recognize any disks. Tried multiple different disks, all the same issue. Anyone have any ideas? No amount of uninstalling the drive, restarting, and reinstalling helps so far.
