Greetings all! Saw your post on guildwars2forum.com and thought I'd drop a line. I've been playing games since I can remember. Was really competitive with CS 1.6, lan team and all that jazz but now am a casual gamer and prefer mmo's over anything else. I work full time, and have my first baby due in November. I'm laid back and looking to have some fun and laughs. Seems like your guild might be a good fit for me. Take care, and hope to see you in game!

Welcome everyone! There has been quite the influx of new people to SaF and I look forward to getting a chance to play with all of you.
Congrats on the upcoming baby Fern. I have two November babies myself. Makes for quite the busy fall and Christmas! Best of luck to the mom-to-be.

Hello. I must admit the name kinda threw me off and even the post i read on guildwars2forum website. But the thing that wanted me to apply to your guild was the forums you guys have about yourselves and how genuine you all are. I have played almost all mmos but the one that i loved the most was DAoC. It was not so much the game itself (although that did help) but it was the community and the guild i was in. It was like a second family. Everyone helped one another and no one was really in a hurry to get to top level. I am a quiet person by nature but will help anyone i can with what i can offer but to me it is the guild/family you join in a MMO that makes the game itself fun. So in point i am requesting to be recruited by your guild and i will do nothing but bring Honor and Respect with me to add to the enormous Honor and Respect that i have read in your forums. Thank you for your consideration of my application.

Well met Onestryke! I am glad you found us.
Yes, the name is very tongue in cheek and not trying to be more than it is... just like us. I must say that I am a bit curious about what threw you off. Please share? ;D
Smoke and da FIRE ~~~ !!!

Thank you for your consideration of my application. Welcome to the guild! I too decided to join the guild because of the maturity I saw on the forums. It's good to see now that we have one more kind and respectful player joining our ranks today. I look forward to playing with you in-game! The game hasn't even started yet, but I do think we've already developed a nice community here at S&F, coming from a guy who joined just a few days ago.

Oh you know the phrase " Where there is smoke there is fire" which would imply rumors and lies or the good ole phrase " Smoke and Mirrors" which refers to magicians on how to fool the audience and let them see what you want them to see. Yeah i look into things too much sometimes but that is why i also look at the forums of the members to understand the guild more . To base your decision on name it self it just absurd but i do like the name.

Welcome to the guild! I too decided to join the guild because of the maturity I saw on the forums. Logga, we tricked them!!! Muahahaha! .... unless we're talking about age. Then calling us "mature" is just being polite! Welcome to SaF Onestryke.

Well not maturity to say more of the not " Power level everyone to top level and destroy all other guilds" is what i hate. I mean i do not mind the guild wars between two guilds if they do not like one another but this is a game and ...ok then maybe that is maturity <shrug shoulders>.

(except Orion who just got his internship at A-net) See u around Kass! I read that comment way too fast and for sure thought you were calling me something else... Welcome to everyone im Orion, the guy with a weird sense of humour, that spells words strangely and talks with an odd accent. Oh and pokes fun at Jade whenever possible.

Hi all,
I've been looking for a mature, casual, CST time zone guild to join for the GW2 launch, and I think this one might be a good fit.
About me: I'm a 40-something gamer, married with kids and a full-time job. I live in Texas, so the central timezone status for this guild is a plus. I did the semi-hardcore raiding drill in WoW, but am now looking for some laid back socializing and a fun group to explore GW2 with. I'm also hoping to get my brother to join the guild.
Anyways, please accept this application and I look forward to seeing some of you in game on the 25th (or during the next stress test, lol).
Thanks, Snarr - Charr Warrior

We all seem pretty casual and laid back, so you'll probably find the guild to your liking. Expect a lot of fun, small guild events like dungeons, dynamic events and the like. It should be a good time. I look forward to seeing you in-game! 8 more days!

Hello Everyone, You guys and gals are just what my wife and I have been looking for. My name is Michael and I was thrilled to come across this guild when I was surfing the guild wars 2 boards for open guilds. I am 40 and in Minnesota ( I was kidnapped by my wife more on that later...lol. I was thrilled to see a casual, helpful place where I do not have to see people simply talk to my wife, just to keep my happy an playing. I have played games my whole life and MMO's are always my favorite choice. It is the friendships, the memories, the laughs I cherish long after the game has ended. While I am a more experienced gamer I really am looking for a casual place where I can see content with my guild, help others, and make new friends that will hopefully span years an years to come. In our guild in wow we met some really fun people, but in the end it became the same, most people talking to me and few talking to the wife Nancy. We are both looking to be just a part of one guild, where everyone has a place, and a helpful and social atmosphere is a must. I for one will be looking forward to offering my advice, humor, sarcasm, and steel to this guild if we are lucky enough to be accepted . An I will ask the wife to jump on and create an account herself later. Here is hoping I am lucky enough to have a home for my five characters here in Smoke and Fire. Now off to sleep 6 am comes early. Then it is home to buy our copy of the game and check back here for we hope some good news. Goodnight all!! Oh..... and since I do not know the names we will be able to get count on me changing this profile name to one of my toon names I actually get. Be well all.
