Greetings any and all who might be considering taking up the banner for the honor of House Davion, from the 8th Davion Guards [8DG] (The Crazy 8th).

We are an active-casual unit of moderate skill, that is the PERFECT home for a very specific type of MechWarrior.

If any of the following sounds like you, well friend, we'll chill an extra pint for you.

Who we are: A motley collection of grown-*** adults with jobs, and kids, and school, and all sorts of responsibilities and the like, who happen to really enjoy not just this game, but the lore and universe that inspired it. We play when and where we're able to, and over the years have become reasonably skilled (though it's safe to say we're not likely to top any leaderboards, unless, of course, there's a leaderboard for hilarious/awesome/attractiveness, or fondness for craft beer and spirits).

What we have to offer: A unit that doesn't come with any pressure or expectations on your time, or busy lifestyle, but knows the ins-and-outs, and finer points of the game, and doesn't just want to coast along, alone, at the bottom. A handful of happy veterans who are always friendly and helpful, and above all, hilarious, and sometimes drunk. Plenty of fantastic forum and faction friends, who are great allies, and add to our blissful insanity. A bordering on encyclopedic knowledge of the Battletech backstory, that's always available to assist with lore questions. And Davion. Always Davion.

Wait, you say, what the hell is "active-casual"?! Well, it is what we are, and by that, we mean, we're active at heart, but casual by necessity. Our spirits play the game far more than our schedules/kids/significant others/jobs/budgets allow. We're players who could possibly even be "competitive", if only Chronos would accept our sacrifice of vintage Swatch watches, and carefully aged meats and cheeses, and add more hours to the day...

Or, in the words of our fellow Guardsman, 3xnihilo...

"Crazy 8th Advertisement:

Listen, we love playing MWO, but the existential reality of the situation is that it doesn't actually happen that often. Instead, we friend each other on Facebook and talk about playing MWO. This conversation has a tendency to spill out all over the forums. So, if you are the kind of person who loves talking to other people who love talking about playing games they only dream of playing, this is the place for you!

P.S. They are not a guarantee, but when the stars align, the group drops are glorious!"

Also, there's this, our info from the AFFS Regiment list:

Unit: 8th Davion Guards [8DG] (The Crazy 8th)
CO: Rip Snorgan / Neutron IX
XO: 3xnihilo
XO: Brimbooze
Web: http://8dg.freeforums.net (not terribly useful at the moment, since mostly we're on Discord or Facebook)
Comms: Discord - https://discord.gg/k3vswtr
Language: English
Time Zones: Any (Currently EST and PST)
Active: Yes (Casual)
Unit Motto: Don't be an ***!

"We are a lore based unit composed of a small handful of casual, but active, gamers/Battletech fans, who try to balance the full plate of daily real-life responsibilities, with the strong desire to crush our enemies under the metal feet of our mechs. We are dedicated Loyalists to House Davion and the Federated Suns, and at least half of us have Locust-fever, while all of us have a propensity for craft beer and finely brewed coffee.

We hope sometime to join some of our fellow Davion units in CW drops as friends and allies, especially if it means kicking the Clans back beyond the Far Periphery!"

So if any of all that up there feels, you know, "right" for you, hit us up if you are interested, or have any questions, and if not, well, don't worry, there are all sorts of great Davion units out there, and one of them will surely be "the one"!

We'll see you out there Mechwarrior, and depending on how deep into the bottle we are, maybe we'll even see 2 or 3 of you!

*Salute*

How did you know I'm a huge fan of all of those things?!

Now, how do you feel about pickled foods and cured meats? These are important questions!

Yes this sounds like a good fit :)

I keep a bottle of Sailor Jerry, Jim Beam Black and of course Patron in the freezer at all times. The assorted craft beer is known to make an appearance as well :)

I'm a new pilot looking for a mature group of guys to play with. I have a few hours a day to play but no set times. Seems like your group may be the match for me. Please message me if you like me to part of your team and would like to know more about me.

Howdy!

I'm new enough to MW and fairly new to battletech, and I'm looking for a group that wants to play hard even if we play casually. You guys sound great! Can I join up?
