I would also like to join the ranks of the wolf spiders, im from the uk and at the young age of 31 :)

im an avid fan of the battletech franchise / Universe and been waiting eagerly for almost a decade for a decent MW genre, on top of that i didnt care much of the cost of the legendery founders package, i had to have it, i would love to be a proactive member of your close knit clan of fellow comrades / Lancemates and im looking forward to supporting you in the upcoming battles

P.S Ive tried 3x times to apply through the website using the interactive PDF but alas no luck on my part.

Hey, man. It says somewhere that the application doesn't work with any browser-based plugins. So you're going to have to download the PDF file and open it using independent software like Adobe Acrobat Reader. I believe the issue is just with submitting the application.

Good luck!

PewPew pretty much hit the nail on the head. There are links and instructions regarding the application which hopefully can guide you through any technically difficulties. You can check it out here. I look forward to receiving your application.

For any misunderstanding lets fix it here. I am not stealing players they said a lilttle further back in this blog that they had hit there recruitment levels for North america. I was pointing out that if they had more than they wished now or ever that they could choose to send some players to some of the other regiements so that no one got left out that wished to run with this allince that wished to be apart of it. This was not me chery picking. This was not me telling people to come to My regiment. This was giving wolf spiders a place to put people if they had too many.

I think the wording was more like we consider the US company to be full at the present time but would still discuss opportunites with applicants.

Your original request was understandably not perceived as being malevolent in "poaching" players Mandalore82. But there were certain concerns about simply passing on a players application details as you requested as specifically this is potentially personal pilot information. Likewise we don't want to show undue favouratism in prescribing player choice in how they decide their reasoning for Merc Corp selection though recognise some potential perceived allied related interests could be accomodated if those are primary motivations. This is since ideally we consider pilot interests and aspirations as part of the recruitment process and ethics within our batallion.

There is also the fact that you kind of placed an assumption that it makes it more apparent that we may not then at some point be either open for expansion as a battalion or have a need to review pilots who may have a significant interest in the Wolf Spiders even if we consider the US company to be sufficiently manned for current purposes. It's also to do with how the admin team can best support pilots and empower them so they can reach appropriate potentials within the companies. So it isn't really so "black and white" when considering if we are full or what our plans may or may not be, however the view is not just a numbers game but making sure the admin support structure works in the interests of our pilots.

The debate of Wolf Spider policies and strategies is not something we really wish to have as an open topic on the MWO forum however. So I would politely request that if you wish to respectfully discuss this then could you contact John with a view to having a private conversation to confirm details and to have an opportunity to put forward considerations.

As such just to clarify for everyone, the doors are not closed in terms of regional recruitment atm, though the US company is considered full for current purposes. We will not at this stage simply be ignorant of anyone who wishes to express specific interests in joining the Wolf Spiders and applicants will still be considered here even if places may be currently harder to obtain. The EU Company has a heathly recruitment pattern and numbers are satisfactory here, but there are still vacancies identified before optimum levels are achieved for purposes atm.

Enjoying all this freedom from British rule across the pond.
Drinking my ice cold tea, eating a cheeseburger, and wearing my shirt made out of an American flag. :P

Happy "Breaking from British Tyranny Day!" :D

EDIT* Perhaps I should have said Pepsi instead of Tea. All the British I know only drink Hot Tea. *shrug*

They say it is the taste for a new generation, which might be apt for a mind set with only a small amount of age/history/experience.

But don't worry you can leave the "tea bagging" to us Brits if you don't have the stomach for it. ;)

This is why I leave politics to other people... I was just going to cave his skull in. Nice talk Noesis.

I just love to observe all this, see how people react, how certain situations get settled.
Interesting.

But that doesnt mean that I wouldnt plant a nice sharp tomahawk in the skull of anyone that forms a threat to the team.

I don't think Noesis saw it as a threat. He's just explaining our position as comprehensively as possible so we don't have any more misunderstandings.

bobow98, you still have a chance, as it has been said! Good luck

Hiya Wolf Spiders, just out of curiosity if later in the games cycle they do open up the clans do you guys plan on staying IS or would you hope to take one of the clan slots ? You guys sound like a great bunch of guys and i do remember some of you from my NBT days. When i have my new rig up and running i may have to apply for a spot with you.

Hails Warlock, Always nice to see former NBT warriors. To answer you question. It's something we are going to 'wait see' how things pan out. Zero is known how the Clans will be implemented. What's important to us is that we are in the most competitive arena of the game if that turns out to be 'Merc Corps' then we wont become a Clan just because. If we can move to become a Clan and still play at the very highest competitive level MWO has to offer then it's certainly something we would consider.
