Obviously I endorse this :) Sam is a top bloke and I think will be a good fit for us.
Wulfe, back in yer cage !
And Sam, I think the guys mainly focus on the person behind the keyboard rather than the character. Being a (reasonably)sane and amicable person is more important than being leet. So what I am saying is I wouldn't worry too much about lack of experience or hardcore commitments. This isn't like our scrimming FPS days and as a guild we're only just starting to loosely organize cooperative activities. No hardcore raiding schedule here!
But anyway, the officery types will fill you in with the details.
