Greetings, Noble House Liao Mechwarriors!

We are the Gatekeepers company of the Liao Cháng-Chéng, stationed on planet Purvo, near the borders of Capellan space. St. Ives and House Davion threaten our immediate vicinity, and we stand ready to repel the next wave of honorless invaders. Join us in our effort to unite the disparate Liao fringe and crush forever the power of the St. Ives Compact and the Federated Commonwealth so that neither may ever threaten our sovereignty again!

This thread will serve as the recruitment nexus for the Gatekeepers company here on the forums. We've had a lot of emails from prospective recruits lately, and to keep anyone from falling behind we've decided to place this here for ease of access.

So, a little about us. We've been gaming together, in some cases, for 20 years. MWO is the latest Mechwarrior, and it's our first PC game in some time that we've wanted to be serious about. We're a little...fierce, maybe. Yet we all love one another and it's all in good fun.

We are literally spread across half of the world, from San Diego to Australia and New Zealand. It doesn't matter what time zone you're located in, chances are we'll have folks online during your window! Better yet, by drawing as many Liao players in as possible, we'll have an even larger pool of players to draw from.

For us, it's more about participation. If you're willing to participate, then you'll be more than welcome in our company. Simply hang out on the sites when not gaming to help link up future drops, lurk in the teamspeak until someone shows up, and most of all show up for our designated drop times.

If you're new to the game, we are more than willing to show you the ropes. Don't feel ashamed to ask questions related to the game, the interface or the metagame that pops up. We love to help new players become great players, and all we ask is that you make Purvo Actual your home during your tour of duty as a MechWarrior.

We play sporadically throughout the week, but each week we try to get everyone together at least once. There will be notifications on Facebook and the blogspot as to specific times and dates, but generally the play is casual. The teamspeak server is sort of a hangout that members can use for any game they wish...as long as the call to battle in MWO is satisfied!

House Liao has the smallest military in the Inner Sphere, and we are serious about the roleplay aspect of Mechwarrior and Battletech. So, you should know that House Liao has a reputation for doing whatever needs to be done to achieve victory. When we capture an undefended enemy base, their cries of "n00b" are as music to our ears.

If all that sounds good to you, follow these steps to link up with us. So, that's about it to get started. See you in the ready room!

I'm very interested in joining you guys. I've been playing MWO off and on for about a year and a half. I can't play every day but should be able to join at least one drop a week.

I've been playing Battletech for a little over 20 years and am a big fan of the game and universe. I have played as a mercenary, Lyran, Capellan, and Hells Horses Clanner in past campaigns but had the most fun as a Capellan. So, my MWO fealty lies with the Chancellor. May Victor-Steiner Davion and his accursed, mongrel family rot.

I'm a decent player but not great. I tend to be a bit too eager to charge in earlier than would be advised and am currently running a machine with minimal system specifications.

For mechs, I currently have

a mastered STK-3F (pure missile boat),

mastered CN9s (A, AL, and D),

basic SDR-5D with ECM,

elite CDA-3M with ECM,

3 elite Kit Fox/Ullers with ECM

3 elite Nova/Black Hawks

and 3 basic Summoner/Thors.

Modules: enhanced zoom, improved sensors (2), improved target retention (2)

Hey Emilio, Gatekeepers welcome casual players of all kinds as long as you're into kind of the roleplaying thing and you drop in a group when asked to when you're on TS. The roleplaying is limited, we don't do anything crazy.

Look forward to seeing you.

That was a great game, thanks for having me along!

That last minute of the game you guys helped me quite a bit with the coaching. Hard to believe I survived taking on those two Mad Cats while carrying an IS XL engine.

I think I'm going to hit you guys up soon to try some casual play. I never see other Liao players and I'd love to run with some hard core Capellans with NO CLAN CRAP. I am sick of dropping into a game with my 3025 Mechs and getting destroyed in moments because everyone else is running Dire Wolves.
My character "Max O'Connor" is from Glasgow and we fight to protect our borders with my personal unit the Lost Patrol made up of Northwind Highlanders who chose to stay behind in the Capellan Confederation when the rest of the honorless dogs broke their solemn word to protect the people of the Confederation.
I'm working on a Blog to show our story as time permits. Since you guys are big role players, please look over my blog and let me know what you think.

Look forward to dropping some Dav-Rats with you Max.
