How did you hear about the 12th fleet?
Rather mundanely, actually. I was browsing fleets in the social tab to see if anything caught my eye, and the 12th Fleet immediately had my interest. Handy that a suitable fleet was right there, front and center to be seen.What made you interested in choosing the 12th fleet?
I'm interested in a fleet which has a great degree of commitment to cooperative play, but also to accepting all sorts of play, as you do by the indication of your divisions system! As well, I am a YouTube content creator focused on showcasing accessible games for my fellow disabled gamers. This good cause is supported in cooperation with such developers as XBox and Ubisoft, as well as countless smaller developers. As the channel comes out of hiatus and back into production, I plan to limit my coverage to three consistently covered games, and I'd be thrilled to have an active fleet participate in my trek across the stars, all for a good cause! Admittedly, the presence of full fleet facilities also helps in that I tend to feature two or three high end "star" ships for the ongoing streams and videos, and they'll benefit greatly buildwise from those handy additions.------------------------------------------------------------------------
What days and times are you usually online?:
I am online seven days per week on average, at any hour from morning to midnight EST. Due to my physical disability, I'm housebound and seldom away from my laptop.------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you ever played an MMORPG? If so, which one(s) and how long:
So many that I won't even attempt to list them all. If they've existed, I've probably at least tried them. The longest ones I played consistently were GemStone III (now IV) for 15+ years straight, EverQuest 1 (was a part of Guide staff on the game once), Ultima Online, Legends of Kesmai, and so on. I was, more relevantly, a founding member of Star Trek Online with a lifetime membership.------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a paragraph please explain how you will benefit the 12th Fleet?
I am someone who appreciates virtually everything the 12th Fleet appears to stand for. I am a friendly, understanding fellow who has committed his life to charity and cooperating with each other for the betterment of all. If that isn't the core of a great fleet, I don't know what is, and it's what I bring to the table as a fleet member. I also have a tremendous amount of time to give, as you can see, as well as a great deal of experience with the game as someone here from the start. I'd love to work with you in any of your endeavors, and if you like, you're welcome to participate in the ongoing adventures featured on my YouTube channel for the benefit of disabled gamers! All in all, I'd love to contribute and just have a wonderful time sharing creativity and mechanics alike. I'd be lying if I didn't say I also appreciate that this is a well structured, established fleet with an active membership and full facilities. I've just done a bit too much over the years for a new fleet to really cut it for me.------------------------------------------------------------------------
Will you use fleet Discord (voice chat)? Y / N :
Yes! I have so many Discord channels as a result of working with game developers, I am beyond even minding this. Further, as someone whose only career prior to disability was in voice acting in anime and commercials, I have a studio setup and am not shy joining in on discussion. My Japanese accent does sometimes slip through, but I'm fairly good at hiding it!------------------------------------------------------------------------
