Welcome all true followers of the Word of Kerensky! Welcome home to Strana Mechty.

Strana Mechty is a new community site built around and for the Clan Community in MWO. The site has been built, and the Community has been coming together over the past few weeks. We have solicited and gained the participation of 15 Clan Units to date, with several more inbound in the next few days. It is no doubt off to a good start.

What Strana Mechty is:

Strana Mechty is foremost a place for Clan units to represent themselves on equal footing with each other. It is a single place for all units to present themselves, in order to display their activities, collaborate with other units if they wish, recruit, and participate in tournaments, and other organized battles that will be set up in the future.

How can that work?

This is accomplished first, by adhering to the rule that no unit may claim the Clan as a whole. The accepted Community standard, is that each unit will take the identity of a Cluster or a Galaxy if the unit is larger. This then allows units who claim allegiance to a Clan to then work together under the same banner of their parent Clan. There is already great progress forward in this area as you can see the various Clan Wolf units are coming together quickly utilizing this structure.

Secondly, each units individuality is celebrated, rather than stamped out in order to unify as a Clan. Each Cluster or Galaxy's identity is as individual as the people within them, this is something we wish to celebrate, so that like minded individuals may find a unit that suits them, and a play style that fits, while still claiming to fight for the Clan that they love. There are certain topics in which collaboration between all units within a Clan is requested, but never mandatory.

With these rules in place, Units are free to participate in all activities on Strana Mechty, without fear of being forced to do things the way another unit prefers to do things. The respect of each individual unit is paramount, and is the core focus of this Community.

What's the point of Strana Mechty?

First off, it is to bring all Clan players together and strengthen the Clan Community in MWO. As nobody is for sure what is going to happen in the future, some units have gone Merc, or built non cannon clans to show their allegiance to the Word and Vision of Kerensky. This site brings them back within the fold of their beloved Clan, and then provides them a way to be seen.

Strana Mechty will be hosting a handful of tournaments, and a perpetual strategic combat scenario similar to what Community Warfare may end up being, however it is currently styled similarly to the strategic map of Planetside. These events will be broadcast through streams in order to increase public view, and draw to the activities provided by Strana Mechty.

Each unit is Required to list themselves within the forum for their parent Clan. This not only allows them to be known, and allow other units to contact them, but also provides an easy resource for people looking to join specific clans in the future. Each unit is also afforded the opportunity to post in the general recruitment forum, to show off their unit and its activities.

Lastly, Strana Mechty aims to provide in depth and factual knowledge of Clan lore. Areas for mech builders to share builds related to Clan mechs in the future. A central location for people to share streaming video, and youtube video. As well as a new take on the Clan Grand Council, which was a previously failed endeavor. This time things are focused more on inclusion rather than exclusion.

Next, The Remembrance

The Remembrance is Strana Mechty's Sister Site, that regards all things related to Bloodnames.

The site was made seperate from Strana Mechty mostly due to the activity level expected would be too much for one site, and to ease confusion, this site was built to handle the traffic related to Bloodnames and Trials of Bloodright.

The First aim of The Remembrance was to build a way to legitimize Bloodnames in MWO, as it is currently impossible to prove who has earned it and who has not.

This is done by bringing all units involved in Strana Mechty over into The Remembrance, and then posting the names of all Bloodnamed warriors on a list for their Clan. This then works as proof that the Clan as a whole recognizes the listed warrior as having earned the right to wear the bloodname.

It is left to the leadership of the units of each Clan to decide who has earned a Bloodname, and by what standards. If a Clan chooses to grandfather Bloodnamed warriors in, or force them to earn the name again in a new Trial of Bloodright, is up to each Unit. If all units within a Clan can come to an agreeance on this, then good, if not, they each do it their own way, nobody is forced to do it one way or another.

The rules set for how Trials of Bloodright are fought, what Bloodname is to be earned, or even how a Warrior is selected to participate in a Trial is again up to the Clan, and the Units within. The site is mainly a repository of knowledge for units to share how they go about hosting the Trials, so others may follow suit if they wish, and not a method for other units to force their methods on others.

Now the fun part, The Remembrance is going to hosting every Clan unit's Trial of Bloodright. We plan on advertising each Trial as much as possible, and providing dedicated cameramen with each drop, so that people can watch live streams of the 1 on 1 combat in MWO. We expect each Trial could be carried out in one night, leading to lots of nights full of badass 1 on 1 combat, with plenty of streams, from both the cameramen, and the Mechwarriors trying to earn their Bloodname. We expect a lot of good nights sitting back watching some streams and drinking some beers with this!

With both sites working together to cover Clan units, and tournaments between them, and another covering Bloodnames and the Trials to earn them, and lots of Streaming Video of all of it, we expect a lot of good times in the future! Dont miss out, get your Unit signed up today, or sign up with one of the units thats already participating!
