Foreword: This is my "inverse application form." What I mean by this is I have absolutely no idea why so many clans/guilds/companies/Houses/etc want to know personal stuff about me (like if I'm married, or other things not directly related to MWO). As such, I'm not going to bother filling out any silly forms or endure any "probationary periods" or any of that crap. I'll tell you relevant information about myself now, and if I'm recruited, we'll get to know each-other better through playing games together, chatting on voice coms, etc. If this sounds abrasive or rebellious or whatever, so be it, but if you read on you may understand that I'm simply a pretty strong-willed guy who wants to enjoy a game, and not a complete jerk.
I'm 29 years old. I spent 8 years of that in the US Army as an M1A1 Abrams crewmember. I served in Iraq on two combat deployments for a total of two years. I'm graduating with a geology degree December 2012 and intend to work in scientific research or some relevant field.
That being said, I'm pretty mature. I'm pretty experienced working as a team. I'm pretty tactically proficient. I'm experienced using 60 ton machines in combat. I'm pretty experienced using voice communications to coordinate with other units. I play this game a lot. I'm pretty good at learning stuff. As such, I would make a fantastic addition to your
active, competetive, yet casual clan/guild/company/House/etc. I'm sick of doing paperwork. I'm sick of filling out multiple-choice exams. I'm sick of getting raged at over Vent because I screwed up in an important battle. I'm sick of kissing the butts of those "above" me.
I want to improve my skills in this game. I want to play at a higher level than the average player. I want to compete in organized matches against other organized opponents. I want to enjoy the game for what it is - a game - with like-minded individuals. I want to join a unit that is active, cohesive, possesses
esprit-de-corps, has strong leadership, and trains to improve both individual and team skills.
My K:D says nothing of my ability to work as a team; my win:loss says nothing of my willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. I tend to play defensively (staying with the heavies/assaults) until the enemy is decisively engaged, then switch to an extremely aggressive brawling playstyle to lend aid to the heavies/assaults, or to exploit and punish weakness or tactical error.
I own a growing stable of mechs with a wide array of loadouts. I primarily pilot a HBK-4SP, although I also enjoy my missile-spotter Raven, my ankle-biter Commando, my mid-range brawler Centurions, and my long-range skirmisher Dragon. I plan to unlock all masteries for all non-unique mechs in the game.
If I sound like someone you would want to fight with, let me know and I'll decide if
you are an organization that
I would want to fight with.
