hey, is your guild recruiting? I've been wanting to do guild things and you guys seem super cool but i am but a shy bean
Thank you for the ask, and don’t be shy! I don’t bite. :3
You’re going to have to give me a second though; it baffles me that anyone thinks that SLAM is cool. We’re not cool. We’re hilariously awkward. Or at least I am.
I also wanted to make a more personalized response but anonymous question is anonymous and personalizing is hard :( So I’m going to make this more generalized in case people ask in the future, since I want to make sure that SLAM is actually the kind of guild you’re looking for :>
SLAM is a small guild - about 33 strong with 7-12 active players. We are technically PvX, but we have the strongest focus on PvE, dabble in WvW, and have a couple of members who PvP. We have a level 59 Lost Precipice guild hall and run guild missions weekly. We always aim to have fun as a group and are open to veterans and new players alike; we have almost no requirements besides don’t be an asshole. Since the guild is small, we get to know everyone and invite new friends, never for numbers. We use Teamspeak almost constantly, and almost any topic is fair game (as long as people are not personally insulted or attacked, which we have low tolerance for). There are a few, myself included, who build characters and talk about lore, but the majority do not, so keep this in mind. We also do not offer any roleplaying opportunities, although we respect the the RP community.
Most of our activity comes from relatively high-tier PvE. We raid weekly, do T4 fractals as often as possible, and then do random things from dungeons to open world to WvW in between. We have a high number of theorycrafters, number crunchers, and people who are willing to spend hours with the training golem in the aerodrome learning rotations. We are not a top tier guild, but we always aim to improve. We expect those who wish to participate in T4 fractals and raids to have done their homework and come prepared.
TL;DR: SLAM is tiny and fairly close-knit, but is always open to new friends. We specialize in PvE and focus on high-end content, and although we do not require participation in any of these to be part of the guild, we do have expectations and guidelines (specifically) for those who wish to raid with us. If our brand of weird, semi-casual tryhard appeals to you, fill out our pseudo application at comeonandslam.guildwork.com. If you’d just like to come hang out with us, leave me a note. Either way, PLEASE talk to me directly; it’s important that SLAM is a good fit for you and you’re a good fit for us.
EDIT: It was brought to my attention that I just completely blanked on the boring but essential information, so. SLAM is an NA guild based on Fort Aspenwood (although server does not matter), and is most active from 8-11 PM PST on weekdays, some activity before and after that time frame, and really whenever people want on weekends.
I appreciate that you’re interested in Come On And [SLAM], and I hope this helps without being too verbose. Any questions please feel free to ask!
