Great advertising thread guys, probably one of the most professional I have seen.

Thanks CrazyIvan!

We aim to hold to high level of quality in everything we do.

Considering the high calibre of personnel we have onboard and contributing, that looks to be something we will be able to continue building on.

"The word lieutenant derives from French; the lieu, meaning "in place", as in a position (in lieu of); and tenant meaning "holding" as in "holding a position"; thus a "lieutenant" is somebody who holds a position in the absence of his or her superior"
I hate to nit-pick, but the vibe I got reading that sentence about having to pronounce a word in a way that makes it not mean what it is supposed to sort of irked me. If someone joined and pronounced it the way it's supposed to be said and no one really cared though, than I apologize for making an fool of myself.

On another note, I love extremely well structured clans/groups/guilds in any sort of game, especially ones that focus on being militaristic. Great job. Especially the video, very well done.

Strewth!

This is the group I have been waiting for. Great structure and forethought. The colour scheme is great too. (Might change mine slightly to dark blue and gold. GOOOOO West Coast! )

The Anzac spirit is something that I think about and that same feeling is what I get when I see this package.

I am now with you.

Thanks for all the feed back about the Corp guys. Looking from the inside out, this Corp has made me very glad i bought the founders pack and got in with them early. The thngs we are working on now, i cant wait to roll them out and help all the new Pilots we are getting become the best they can be.

To all the new guys that have joined in the past week, has been an honour to watch you all improve already.

Fair point mate. It's just that being Aussie, that how our (and the British and Kiwi's) military's cuurently pronounce it. Lots of our guys still pronounce it the US way...

Thanks for the compliments, much appreciated!

loved the pod cast, gave me shivers hearing it

[PeteZonee]

I pronounce lieutenant like, "loo-tenant". Is that the correct way?

Anyway, keep em' coming guys, a long road ahead.

LOL! - Guess that says it all really!

The reference is to the Ranks as shown on the 2nd post of this thread. Australia and Britain pronounce it Lef-ten-ent.

Not a big deal at the end of the day... some officers still say it the wrong way.

Some Battletech canon novels actually write it like that, when refering to Fed Comm ranks.

[Rodel Ituralde]

Just a friendly reminder that while many of our members are Australian, we also have many members from NZ and SE Asia who also call ARMD home. Check us out today here.

Actually Rodel, and this is from memory we have members from

Japan
Phillipines

US
Australia

We welcome anyone who wants to play when we're up. So if your awake between 7pm-12pm Australian time (GMT+9) come along and join the fun.

Good to hear!

Jump on Team Speak and say hello as soon as you get a chance.

Welcome aboard Dar1ng one!

[VAHST]

Great games last night guys

[Kleine Vidan]

I would like to extend a "welcome mat" to all the new ARMD members. Thank you for joining us. There'll be so much fun now that we're a big group. I seems such a far cry from the 6-man team that it started up as. Makes me well up inside to see this group grow to what it is now.

Thanks for all your effors, Major, and all the other ARMD officers.

This would not have happened without your combined efforts.

I'm proud to serve and play side by side with you guys.

[Rodel Ituralde]

Glad to hear that Kleine! It really is a pleasure playing with mature and respectable people.

[Kleine Vidan]

...just to clear things up. We are not turning away young players who love the game. (young folks can be mature, and us oldies can be just like little kids, too!)
we're simply offering a semblance of BT-world immersion with how we play.
you're all welcome to join if this is your thing.
you're also welcome to leave if it isn't.

bottom line is, you're all welcome.

[Iverance]

love playing with these guys, focus'd but can have a bit of fun too.

[Nav]

Yes, a few interesting matches lately.

Good to see the quality of ARMD shining through.

If you want to join a winning team, join ARMD. We'll teach you how to fight the right way!

Welcome to all the new recruits who have joined up in the last few days.

Who wants to be lucky No. 150? Better be quick.

[slide]

Congratulations to Recoil for being our 150th member.

Sorry no million dollar cheque to go with that.
