The Blackstone Knights are willing to consider veteran level players for entrance to our unit. We are accepting both North American and European pilots.

We are the top veteran pilots that split off from several units to build a unit capable of competing at the highest levels. We are a top-tier competitive unit with a winning first mindset. We expect activity and a desire to constantly improve skills as we play competitively in several leagues. We do not tolerate jerks, cheaters or drama queens.

Apply using the Recruitment Page: http://blackstonekni...application.php

New applicants will have their applications reviewed by our officers. If we deem the application fits with what we are looking for, we will offer an interview with the pilots followed by a battlefield evaluation. If the pilot passes both, we will offer a position as a Squire in the unit.

We are an elite unit of pilots from many different units and backgrounds but united in the goal of playing at competitive levels with the other top tier teams. Our philosophy is win first, and we hold ourselves and our pilots to high standards of professionalism and skill. Our core group of pilots have fought together for some time and we enjoy the camaraderie and banter than comes with the formation of elite teams.

We do not tolerate smack talking, poor sportsmanship or jerks and hold ourselves to impeccable battlefield behavior. However, we will take every opportunity to defeat the enemy on the field and have no objections to shooting 'Mechs in the back, legs or heads, if the chance arises. Despite our winning first attitude, we do not tolerate cheaters or those who exploit known bugs for an advantage.

Pilots looking to join the Knights should be able to commit time to the game, although we do understand real life comes first. We expect pilots to show for practices when available as integration and meshing with our elite teams is necessary to be effective on the field. We want to be able to anticipate the orders of drop commanders and the movements of our allies which requires time playing together.

We do not tolerate internal or external drama.


Posted Image

We have two units currently, a North American team and a European team. As we expand we will operate with additional subunits that will train and fight together in leagues.


Knight Colonel - Commanding Officer
Knight Commander - Executive Officer
Knight Captains - Field Officers
Knight Sergeants - Veteran level NCOs
Knights - Veteran competitive level members
Sergeants - Members in training for competition
Squires - New members under probation for training

"In 3049 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Inner Sphere underground. Today, still wanted by many governments, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can join The Blackstone Knights."

We are generally looking for pilots who have fought with other competitive teams and have some experience in leagues. We will rarely accept pilots with little or no 12 man experience if they show promise.

Blackstone Knights are always a pleasure to play against. Always competitive and keeps you on your toes.

Very good fire support pilots, but also very very solid tactics with lights and mediums. They tend to do different things and experiment, not just the same ol same ol jump sniping every game.

Much props to you gentlemen!
