[Unnatural Growth]

Greetings Liao members,

I'm not entirely new, been playing since May. I've been solo PUGging entirely since then. I would like to join a group for pre-made play when possible. I have TS3 and a headset w/mic. I live in north central US, and when I can play, is usually evenings and weekends. I'm middle aged, have a full time job, and a family.

I first played MW and MW2 back in the day. I never played TT, nor any versions after MW2.

I strongly prefer assault mode play over conquest, to the point that I've played exactly 9 conquest matches, all from when Koniving was trying to help me figure out the game last May.

I've played over 2000 matches and currently own 26 mechs. I enjoy playing lights through assaults, and tend not to just play one mech exclusively for long periods. I may drop in a Spider, then Hunchback, then Cataphract, then assault mech in 4 successive matches. I've mastered Jenners, Spiders, Hunchbacks, Cataphracts, Stalkers, as well as 3 of the 4 -P variant Phoenix mechs. I've elited Locust and working on Highlanders now. I prefer mixed builds over "boats", and have a strong preference for ballistic weapons. I do not run sniper builds, nor do I care for LRM boats.

I would like to find a steady group to play with where we can get to know each others play styles and (hopefully) compliment and help each other in a team. At this point at least, I'm not really interested in tournament or highly competitive play. But interested in casual "fun" and honing my game play.

In a nutshell, I'm just tired of the "utter randomness" of PUGs.

I can move and shoot, and am familiar with the maps, etc. But, I've only been a solo PUG player. So the strategy (not tactics per se, but strategy) aspect of the match play I will need help with. I understand the "push" or focus fire, etc. So will need help bridging the chasm from PUG player to team player.

I can follow orders, and don't really have any desire to lead. I'm not above sacrificing myself to ensure victory, and I don't have to make every kill or be top scorer to enjoy myself. I don't normally curse much, but won't run away and cry if I hear someone swear. I try not to feed the trolls too much in game or the forums, but I have done so on occasion.

As I said, I'd prefer to join some kind of regular group or unit. I'm just not sure if any would have me.

Thank you all for your time.

Welcome to Liao ...OOD,

Plenty of Capellans to choose to play with, all good guys.

Don't know how the random Steiner got in a chime....

Either way, enjoy MWO.
