I'd also like to apply for the gig on PVP2, if it's still open. I spend a fair amount of time on Nation and Help chat (more so than on Forums), answering questions and helping folks. I volunteer a lot in RL and love to help in general, but helping folks learn this awesome game is one of the most rewarding aspects of it. I seek win-win situations and fairness in all things and with 20 years of management experience in bleeding-edge Hi-Tech I'm pretty handy at finding satisfying solutions to issues. I have a thick skin and (as a Celt) tend to opt for the direct and frank approach (though I've learned to downgrade my "brutally honest" tendencies to "just honest" as the "brutal" part was often not helpful, especially around Anglo-Saxon cultures). I'm a solo PVPer/Crafter so I play equal amounts in all aspects of the game, whether trading, crafting or fighting (PVP and PVE). I'm a sailor and racer (of 20' to 40' sloops) in RL, so sailing is a huge passion of mine and I LOVE how much more realistic the sailing in this game is, compared to other similar titles. I've been sailing since age 8 and had my first experience with an online sailing game as a wee kid in the early '80s on the Minitel system (NA looks a ton better lol). Been hooked to sailing games (particularly online ones) since that magical moment . I have nearly 400 hours in game and counting, and am working on ranking to Commodore. I'm a native French speaker and also a native Celtic speaker (Breton Celtic); my nick (pr. 'Blay-Waynn') means "White Wolf" in Celtic. I'm fluent in English and near-fluent in German. I can get around in Spanish and speak a few words of Swedish and Polish. Thanks!
