I'm not adverse to you visiting the Dark Born Ed, we do accomodate lone wolves with room and board.

Your itchy feet do cause a little concern with becoming a full member again however, but to some extent the idea of your travelling around and visiting various factions might prove useful as a courier or with some other "information related" duties.

I will ask Fak to have a discussion with you about the idea of the possible "contracts" you mention, if you would like to?

Do not misunderstand me, I do not seek a permanent position within your unit, I only wish to be an associate who is willing to assist you with your enterprises in the Inner-Sphere in exchange for maintenance and replacement parts for the Warhawk I have "acquired".

As much as I like poking fun at CumStar Noesis I must point out that when the Wolves sent out their Dragoons they were given an Ansible, so any research you pick up from the ComStain servers will be nigh on useless, unless you sell it to a Spheroid house or Merc. I believe the Ansible was used to issue the Dragoon recall (Liking the varied motivational posters BTW)

Who's to say we aren't updating details aswell as seeing what is going on? Comstar did get their details for Tukayyid from somewhere and the odd back door or trojan can be useful when placed in the right servers. ;)

I think even if Clan tech is recognised as being more advantageous it is always nice to keep abreast of events, developments and the news of your "frenemies"? Besides this lab "might" not be Mech tech related and could be some other useful field of research like medicine, material sciences or genetics perhaps?

(It is however more associated with the actual research and development being applied with PGI's API system and other developments where the use of PHP coding is allowing me to make use of the supplied JSON data for future developments for the Dark Born. PGI have always been loosely identified as the Comstar of the BT Universe for MWO so the connection is more biographical for the Dark Born Unit and MWO with a connection to actual reality in addition to the RP elements shown in the poster)


Pleased your appreciating the promotional work however.

The Dark Born represents elements of the Dark Caste from Clan societies, who are associated as nefarious characters from multiple origins. Normally represented as bandits within the Clan worlds they also have mercantile and other associations deep within its Dark recesses. Please note however that this unique kind of game play will be treated with some maturity and that respect to other pilots in MWO will be expected. So other than reasonable RP elements presented as part of the role to make the experience more enjoyable, any personal disrespect to other players or units outside of this context will not be tolerated.

The Dark Born community then represents both lone wolves and pilots interested in playing in more team work orientated game play like 12 man competitions though the focus of the game play will be orientated towards Community Warfare where the use of the Clan Loyalist faction will be employed for game play options initially but also the ability to switch factional allegiances for alternative tech use (this will be decided by the group). This recognising a complete spectrum of player interests from casuals to more competitive as well as veterans or newer players. The Dark Born is a Bandit group and a site for individual lone wolf players who want to play this game with a more "criminal" perspective as part of Clan society. This is with a hope that PGI will represent this style of game play with a little more capability in the future.

The community has both a forum site and TS3 Server with various tools and links to other community sites to give a comprehensive guidance to playing MWO in the Dark Caste. This includes training aspects and guides that are being incorporated to help pilots in their various team games with an appropriate command structure known as "The Silk" to also help guide these interests. In addition new features are being developed as alternative trial systems different from Clan Zellbringen that helps personify the interests of this group better. A training course for orientation is in development with a view to expanding the pilot training requirements as things progress and become more established.

Diplomatic interests with other groups are also being established to help provide gameplay opportunities and further social interests as the Dark Born group develops. This also identifies with the idea of respectfully keeping player and RP interests separate despite obvious canon associations with the Clans. As such we are representative as part of the Clan society and their community interests being included in the Clan community forums etc.

The Dark Born site can be found here:http://mwodarkborn.enjin.com which includes the TS3 server details for use. So even if you want to join as a visitor or lone wolf before considering committing to joining more organised elements of the unit this is acceptable where the interest with this element of game play and Clan society exists in MWO.

Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies, and bacon doughnuts dipped in JD.

Thanks for stopping by last night guys. And if they came out with power armor I don't think I'd ever play my mechs again.

The Dark Born welcomes Voodoolou Kerensky to an official ranking member who wishes to best represent the Dark Caste and strengthen its position in the MWO Clan Society by merging interests with the unit.

We also welcome Darkpersona (aka Alanley) who has been appointed to the position of Spinner to add additional help with promoting relations with external units.
