Unijar and Mogoi sped back to the waiting Jumpship, BlackFang, their GM-5600 sub-light drives propelling them at nearly two full gravities. Word from signal-intercept was that Theta Galaxy was about to finally begin it's expeditionary role for the touman. The invasion was soon to begin.

=======================================================================

The Smoke Adders (Theta Galaxy of Clan Star Adder) represent an inclusive, world-wide approach to casual and competitive gaming in the Mech Warrior franchise; we are a Clan-lore based organization that savages our foes and works with our pilots to be the best.

We value a team-play approach that welcomes disciplined initiative, and tactically patient but aggressive play style. We maintain a casual environment that strives to enjoy the game, but recognize that in the competitive spirit of things, winning takes practice and effort and put time into that facet of the game as well.

Smoke Adders compete in Marik Civil War, the MWO "First Engagement" Tournament and will be competing in additional community driven leagues in the near future, all in an effort to prepare for community warfare in whatever form it understakes once unleashed by PGI.

We promote a mature environment that does call for a good sense of humor but we do not do l33t-sp34k, "ggclose" or poor sportsmanship in general. Win or lose, we do not see the need for trash talk and being great at this game does not require an ego.

If you are interested in a Clan-lore based organization that:

- is not a threat of becoming a second job
- adheres to facets of the Clan-canon such as Trials of Position, Zelbrigen duels, Grand Melee and other Clan style events
- believes that highly organized, synergistic game play is more important than the "meta" (whatever it may be)
- can embrace the fun of casual four mans and then turn on a dime to conduct 12-man competitive play
- runs dedicated practices and scrimmages against other units both to prep for competitive play and to just have fun

Then we might be the organization you are looking for.

For those who completed their ToP/ToE in another unit, that will expedite your vetting with us. Additionally, those wishing to apply as a small group will be able to maintain their sub-unit (Star, Binary) identity if they wish it.

We strive for quality people over quantity,care about pilot development, getting better as a unit and actually enjoying the game without drama.

FANGS OUT!

If i may ask, what happened to the old thread?

Anyway, you would have made Nicholas Kerensky proud with your 2nd battle in "First Engagement". Just watched it and was impressed by the highly mobile forces deployed by both teams. Your charge was epic and your warriors deserved the victory in this hard-fought battle.

[_Comrade_]

As the only clan left in the tournament it is up to them. No pressure

But congrats so far, you bring great honor to the clans and to clan star adder

I just elected to let it fade away in order to begin anew. Thanks for the kind words trothkin. We have a fantastic opponent in the third round and are working hard to get ready. In fact we are looking for a scrim opponent tonight as a matter of fact.

Looking forward to some more skrims with the Smoke Adders...good matches friday night

[Lukoi Banacek]

Tonight we are hosting a general practice session as we continue to ready forces for our next Marik Civil War tournament match and our Thursday night round 3 match up in the MWO tournament.

Interested in a little organized scrimming (small scale and large), swing by!

Many thanks again to the Wolves for playing against us in some scrims designed to replicate somethings for the MWO tournament! Was a night of hard fought lessons and great battles. Always a good run against you guys.

For those considering Theta Galaxy (Smoke Adders), we welcome you to attend our internal 12's for a glimpse into organized 12 man play in a Clan-lore based unit with a mix of casual and competitive players, but entirely manned by mature, good-humored pilots striving to get better at whatever level of game play they enjoy!

Sharpen your fangs with us as we prepare for community warfare in organized casual play, internal matches, private duels, community driven warfare in leagues such as Marik Civil War and as one of the play-making teams in MWO's "First Engagement" Tournament.

[Lukoi Banacek]

Smoke Adders will soon be opening a Oceanic unit as well. If you wish to try your hand at casual, competitive or both styles of play in a highly organized unit with a clan lore outlook, join us for some drops (no committment) on the Strana Mechty teamspeak which is open to the public or visit SmokeAdders.com for more info, videos of us in action etc.

Fangs Out!

[Lukoi Banacek]

Tonight we conduct Trials of Position for upwards of nine outstanding candidates:

Mechwarrior Lantheren
Mechwarrior Hagak
Mechwarrior Allan Petabyte
Mechwarrior RED Smith
Snake JD Lowe
Snake DarthRevis
Snake Mugz
Snake Bobothemonk
Snake Wyrmskull

Upon completion of this event, we will conduct a Grand Melee to determine a new Blood Officer, bringing us to eight of nine positions filled.

Lastly, we will conduct a series of Trials to announce the promotion of two new Star Commanders as the 173rd Hussar Cluster (the "Winged Vipers") continues to flesh out as the invasion draws near!

[Lukoi Banacek]

Congratulations to our newest Mechwarriors, Blooded Warriors and Star Commanders!

In incredible battles, all of our warriors acquitted themselves as Mechwarriors worthy of Theta Galaxy membership.

Mechwarrior Mugz earned his position in a valiant combat in an accelerated Trial of Position and while unable to earn Blooded status in his first contest, clearly acquitted himself worthy of the Adders.

Blooded Warriors RED SMith, DarthRevis and Wyrmskull dispatched a foe apiece to earn their status within the Touman concretely.

Star Commander Lantheren earned two kills to complete his Trial of Position and Star Commander Bobothemonk one in an accelerated Trial from the seat of a Trial-Light mech!

They will add their ferocity and cunning to our Touman. Their skill in battle shall send our enemies screaming in the night, running from fang and venom!

With upcoming scrimmages against Marik Gunfighter's Alliance, the Apocalypse Lancers, Clan Star Adder and others, our involvement in Stock Mech Mondays and Marik Civil War tournament matches against Black Star Alliance and Phoenix Dominion, we NEED more, capable, mature and fun loving pilots to assist with all of the Mechs that need destruction! Our roster needs both competitive oriented as well casual oriented pilots to take on these multiple invasion fronts.

There is much to be done Trothkin! Joins us and get the FANGS OUT!

[Lukoi Banacek]

Our current schedule for those interested in checking us out for more than 4-man matches (which are every day):

Wed, 4 June, 9pm EST - Trials of Position, a Blood Officer Melee and 12-man practices (internal group vs group)

Fri, 6 June, 9pm EST - Friendly scrims versus Marik Gunfighter's Alliance in 12-mans

Sunday, 8 June, 3:30pm EST - Friendly scrims versus Apocalypse Lancers in 12-mans

Sunday, 8 June, 9pm EST - Trials of Position, a Star Commander Trial and 12-man practices (internal group vs group)

Monday, 9 June, 9:30pm EST - Stock Mech Mondays on the Strana Mechty Teamspeak server (involving 60+ players typically from every Great House and the Clans)

Tuesday, 10 June, 9pm EST - MCW Tournament match versus Blackstar Alliance

Thursday, 12 June, 8pm EST - MCW Tournament match versus Phoenix Dominion

As you can see, the fighting is fierce and plentiful. Throw in the simple joys of dropping into combat with a 4-man to sharpen one's fangs and you can see why we still search for a additional complement of Warriors, both for the casual and competitive arenas!

[travelbug]

[Lukoi Banacek]

Come on by TB, yer always welcome to join us!

[Revis Volek]

[Lukoi Banacek]

Scrimmages with Apocalypse Lancers tomorrow afternoon and internal practices in conjunction with a Trial of Position tomorrow evening. Between these and organized 4-mans, plenty of opportunities to get to know Theta Galaxy and the Smoke Adders.

[Lukoi Banacek]

Come witness one of our four Snakes and Mechwarriors attempt to earn their Blooded status within the Touman in glorious single combat before we embark on group vs group practice sessions to sharpen our fangs for tournament play and upcoming community warfare!

[Lukoi Banacek]

War is coming. We shall be ready. Will you?
