(UPDATE: 13 March 2016) For those of you who have contacted me, I am grateful for your care and your interest, but I think I still have to step back for a while. There's still enough about this game which doesn't exist, yet, to keep me from doing more than a few matches here and there. My interest, otherwise, revolves around trying out my new Archers and the new map this coming Tuesday. Until there's Objective Based Warfare, an actual system for mercenary unit management, actual contracting -BattleTech style-, and a real reason for playing on the Inner Sphere map, I may not be joining anyone. My apologies to those who've put forward the effort.
Name: Paul / Kay Wolf
Callsign: Redwolf
Timezone: Pacific Time / West Coast U.S.
House/Faction: Mercenary, through and through; I utterly despise Liao, but I won't mind as long as someone else is calling the shots, I think.
Playstyle: I'm an LRM guy to the core, and I work almost exclusively in support of my team mates. If someone calls a target, and I'm not already tuning up a bad guy close to death, I'll switch focus and help out. With those two things in mind, support and LRMs, I try to stick close behind the pack and support. Once I'm out of LRM ammo, though, I'm not a bad stick with lasers; I absolutely stink with dakka.
Roletype: As stated, primarily LRM support.
Preferred Weight: Heavy, though I've no qualms going with Medium or Assault, and have what I feel are good 'Mechs in all three categories.
Experience: I am deeply experienced with tabletop BattleTech, since 1984, with NetMech 95, starting in 1997, MW2: Mercs, and all MechWarrior and MechCommander computer games since, without 'Mech Assault. You can see my service record with my own unit, here...

I am not looking for a command at this time, and would prefer to find a unit of old timey Army and Marine Corps guys who understand PTSD and really weird work schedules, and who are martial enough to be organized, but who also understand real-life is not cool, much of the time. I am forty-four years old, will turn another year at the end of July and, like I said, I have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder -a bit on the serious side- and a job as an Instructor with no set hours at all. My most likely times to be able to play will be on Friday and/or Saturday nights, and then allowances for Holidays and days off.
Feel free to PM me, though I check my PMs in accordance with my life schedule, as well, and may not catch up with you for several days. If you're young, dumb, and full of ..., especially as a leader, please do not contact me; you'll just end up wasting your time and mine. However, if you have a freakin' clue and know what you're doing... well, let's just say that, before I was able to afford to upgrade my desktop, my Tier 4 rating was in free-fall. But, now that I've upgraded, it's been pretty steadily climbing ever since.
I am the absolute best LRM guy you will find, by the way, and I have a tendency of putting those "easy mode" and '"n00b weapons" BS comments in their place. No Faction Warfare for me until PGI fixes it to be something more than forty-five minute shots of the PUG Queue, such as with Objective-based Warfare, actual contracts and not "choose a house", among other things.
