Testing... testing 1, 2, 3... is this thing on? *taps on mic* hello... testing *taps on mic, mic falls over and hits floor* whoops...

Anyways hope you guys are getting this transmission, so I'm a very casual MWO player and I've played Mechcommander, MW4, MW4 Vengeance (eww) and the Xbox Mech Assault games.

I have read virtually NONE of the novels and stories, but have done intermittent research online about the Clans, so I know some history and how some of this all came about.

Basically what I'm trying to say here is (starting to sweat a little) that I like to play MWO, I've done single drops for the past year and half, I'm interested in making friends and playing with others, I like turtles and spaceships, and I almost exclusively pilot Timberwolves.

I would consider myself a very casual player and I can't commit to any scheduled events or practice times (my job and personal life beckons!), but for the few times a week I do get on I would like to do some group drops so I get the warm and fuzzies when I play.

Also, I basically picked Clan Wolf cause I like wolves and Timberwolf 'mech and I think Wolves are cool.

I'm not too far off the mark on this one, am I? Any good places for me to hang up my colors?

We are a casual wolf unit with no tryouts, applications, or bs. Most of us work, have families, and travel and as such we expect people to disappear for weeks on end.

You're more than welcome to join us but I would recommend you look at some of the other threads. I have seen too much slobbering over new potential unit members so Unit X can buff its count. xD

You can see a lot of the unit threads that are in this section of the forums. Take a look at them and do a bit of homework then pick which one is right for you before you get 20 people begging you to join there unit just because.

I've been reading around and it actually all seems a little intimidating to be honest. As I've stated I like to play freely, but I also like game where I can play in a team.

I would love to be on a more serious team that role plays, but I don't know anything about lore and I definitely don't want to drag any teams down because of my lack knowledge surrounding canon tactics and gameplay.

Also, the bacon forum is cool, I only found one thread on there about MWO though?

If you want feel free to push me a friend invite and I'll invite you to our unit if you want to give it a whirl.

In regards to the website there is section for MWO but it is just easier to post in the general section if you have an issue. It is not actively being used by most of the unit members right now that may change once CW2 finally gets up and running.

The Dark Born represents elements of the Dark Caste from Clan society, 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 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.
