I am currently fighting clanners on the FRR front. What are you guys up to? Do you mostly fight other IS factions? Do units welcome solo players joining in occasionally?

Finally: given the Free World League's history, how much of Faction Play is just Marik fighting Marik? Posted Image

Currently we have set our domestic struggles aside and are allied with the Capellans pushing through Fedrat territory on our way to Terra. So, if you like whiskey, Space Bacon and shooting Fedrats, then the Free Worlds League is the place for you!

I Merc'ing for Marik currently as part of a one man unit. I've been dropping with a good group of guys for about a month now and they're definitely welcome to solo players joining in. They're pretty inclusive. Like Ed Steele said, we're headed towards Terra and I haven't heard of any in-fighting yet.

Good luck and good hunting, Freeman.

Doubtful, it will probably be another night of seal clubbing. :-)

"Sell me on going Marik"

1) they are more fanatical about John Tanner than Liao is about their supreme chancellor.

2) the space bacon is not a lie.

3) pushing into Davion territory leaves you open from behind to the blue fist... some people pay for that kind of action...

4) purple birds are manly

I joined Marik a few weeks ago after returning to MWO, and this crew is great. There is a Free Worlds League teamspeak open to all Marik players. Our drop commanders are solid, and new players are welcomed without being pressured to join a unit.

Marik players have somehow found a way to embrace chaos, shun elitism and rudeness, and walk away with a victory. It is very refreshing! If that sounds like your kind of party, welcome home.

If you're going to stop us, you'd better hire some more Mercs. We'll see you planetside, pal!

You're right. This space bacon we got on Talitha is delicious!

Unfortunately I was stuck in traffic on my way to the Mech hangars and the drop ship left without me.

I have to say the responses to this topic have been... interesting. There seems to be a lot of inside stuff being hurled around...

Yes, the native pig-like creatures make for great Space Bacon, which is why the planet is so hotly contested! Luckily both the Free Worlds League and Federated Suns adhere to a treaty which keeps battles from being fought in the space-pigs' natural habitats.

However, only The Free Worlds League has a large number of bacon craftsmen who are descended from the best butchers and smokers of ancient Terra.

The Marik TS is a great place to set up shop and drop with some folks that know what they are doing and can help you get a lot of wins. Everyone is pretty nice and patient, so don't be shy and just pop in whenever you get changed over.

The Eagle of Freedom is always spreading it's wings to accept old and new into it's folds for the advancement of all.

Purple has been considered the colour for royalty for a long time.

What other reason would you possibly need?

So, the world of Blake jihad probably wont be part of this game. So we made the Word of Jonathan Tanner to keep up with BT lore.

Javin is a leader in HHOD with whom we have fought on a VERY frequent basis. He wants to stop us becuase Davion has lost alot of planets (mostly to Liao (by which I mean TCAF)).

Unfortunately the population of the Federated Suns is much larger than that of the Free Worlds League, so even though we fight hard and push them back over and over again, we will eventually lose the battle of attrition (since there are no actual casualties in this game).

Great group of people to play with.

You like purple.

You don't want a Clanner boarder until everyone else is tired of fighting them.
