TO ALL CURRENT AND POTENTIAL UNIT COMMANDERS:
Armageddon Unlimited's goal is to build a world-class Command & Staff, to be the head of a strong Sergeant's Corps (the Core of the unit, as well) as our heart and soul, and a large and efficient MechWarrior pilot presence, as our body, to carry out all of the missions we will be contracted to perform, to forge ahead with the best at the helm, to get and give the best, and to take the fight to any opposition in the community that we may face.
Knowing the sometimes-extraordinary difficulties associated with running any sort of organization, such as a mercenary corporation -including personnel issues, personal issues, disparate ideas on how a unit should operate and be run, the drama of members who want more but are not willing to earn it, a lack of time to accomplish what you wish to accomplish AND still be able to play in the game, such as development of your unit's culture and identity, among other vagaries-, I am proposing the following, but only for those who believe that sharing the load among various high-ranking officers working together for the common good of the entire unit is in their best interests.
DO YOU WANT TO COMMAND?
If you do not yet have a command of your own, come to Armageddon Unlimited, sign with us and work your way up to a command rank; your career can only accelerate dependent on what you are willing to do to accomplish your goal of command. The tools for acceleration are provided, if you have the umph to make use of them.
ARE YOU ALREADY A COMMANDER?
If you already have a command, join your unit with Armageddon Unlimited, maintain your structure and your cohesiveness as much as possible, grow as a natural part of AU, increase your numbers, have assistance to complete things you, as the commander of that element, need to complete, and help others in the Command & Staff complete also what they need to get done.
Read on, and let's see if we're where you want to be...
HERE'S WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Our desire is to have MechWarrior's join our unit in the capacity of having fun by training, through combat drops to develop cohesion, and preparing for the play changes that have come as a result of the Clans and is coming with Community Warfare. As you advance in our unit, you are welcome to try on new responsibilities you've earned, though you will be expected to fulfill the responsibilities and not just absorb the privileges of what your position entails. If you want a position of authority and/or leadership -two separate things- you can help lead us to victory and the improvement of AU through your participation and the work necessary to maintain our improvement curve.
After all, it's fun to win, right? If we don't improve, if we don't roll with the community, learn ways to overcome the meta, or change our tactics from time-to-time, and practice those tactics, we will not win, which is not fun, right?
OUR PHILOSOPHY
While MechWarrior Online is a game, and a gaming community, it is also team-based gaming and, if a member of the team fails to show up for training, skirmishes, and the fight, the team suffers for it. Come, be a MechWarrior to start, earn your way to higher positions if you are so inclined, and let's make the virtual battlefield our own playground. As MechWarrior's, the only responsibility is to show up and fight. However, if you want to continue to help us to grow and improve, the further you advance the more will be expected of you. Our methods of advancement are there to help us maintain integrity by placing the most devoted, and the best of the best, in appropriate places throughout our ranks. Our people will continue to grow, continue to earn their way up, but all based on the pace they wish to work for themselves.
DO WE INTEND TO PLAY COMPETITIVELY? WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
To find out about our policies and procedures with regard to recruitment, look here! Our primary goal will be simply to play, though we will also be supporting 12-Man, Solaris, and other competitive game-play as we are able, setting up specialized teams to accomplish those goals; so, if you don't want to begin your own unit, but want to fight competitively, sign up with us, let's get you set up so you can develop your team with our administrative support, and so there is mutual support!
If you understand that rules, vision, and goals are there to guide the unit and necessary to build it up properly, and you believe that earning your place, your rank, and your awards is important, and you understand that accomplishing your own goals may take work and time, as well, then we're the place for you. Look us up, and see what you think.
