Sign up for House Liao!

The last thread was epic. Let's keep this one alive.

MWO is here. Over 140 people have signed up via the previous thread as interested in being a part of the organized core of House Liao in-game. Why should you sign up? I did it because I wanted to blow up stompy robots with friends. That's really what this is all about... building a stronger community.

We're going to be dealing with a quite a wide variety of people in House Liao, from all sorts of Battletech, general gaming, and even no backgrounds. Understanding where everyone is coming from will be essential to building a house organization that actively includes everyone... even folks who just want to log in and play for a few hours a week. Signing-up via the link above takes the first step toward achieving that goal.

If you're interested in learning more after signing up, jump over to the House Liao website at http://www.houseliao.com.

Thanks, all.

<salute>

P.S. - I'm doing this and the Teamspeak server because I love you guys and for the memories. Keep this thread clean out of respect, if nothing else.

Does House Liao units have lances? Do we need to create any sort of lances or are we all considered reserves at this point

We are currently uploading unit insignias to the new website, if you can send prestons to fever on the site please.

The aim is support any and all Liao units that would like a place holder for the purpose of organising.

Good work stalker, this is a good start, lets keep it going and keep it constructive.

Suggestion: Take the teamspeak server and shuck it. Mumble is superior in all ways if a bit more fiddly for people in leadership positions to setup.

thanks for giving Liao a team speak server. I am sure the heretics guys appreciate it.

While I completely agree on this point, I wanted to start these folks off with something easy. Once they hit critical mass as an organization (something goons did long ago) and have the need for the mumble features, then we'll switch (I actually already have it installed on the server, but offline). Too much too soon could be problematic, IMO.

And it is appreciated by Liao, Stalker , that you have contributed to the faction in a positive manner. >salute my friend<

Prastagus,,

To your question,

Until we know which units, MWO Will be using in game, we will wait to activate them on the website.

All non associated units not used in mwo will still be active on the Liao website, we will work out how to

Merge and incorporate them when the game goes live, it seems to me that all factions will have canon/lore units

They will just be running as Merc for their chosen house.

The game will have lances, so It is foreseen, that lore and non-lore units will as well, it will just be a matter of implementation once the game goes live. I would suggest finding three teammates at least, and run with them as much as possible.


Stay tuned.

Yep -- we are actively working to get in touch with the heads of various units and get them involved with the site. Guys with their own units will be ranked up to officer and provided with access to our squad-level forums. We want to make sure that everybody under the House Liao banner is coordinated while respecting the autonomy of other groups.

We are also willing to provide unit heads with password protected forums on our site if they want to avoid the headache of creating their own.

Is this only for canon units? Cpt. [Bum] Captain's [Bum] Raiders don't have our own official forum and I'd love to be able to get everyone organized and have an official recruitment spot.

It's actually for anyone. Trying to keep it chill (and goon-friendly).

Though if you want to goonlance, the clubhouse wiki has some good info for you.

What problems are you having with the TS server, also what goons had a problem with was the 512 limit and TS2 being ****, TS3 is fairly nice and what goons used in WoT.

The only issues are the 512 limit and the ease of cross-channel communications. Neither of which are going to be an issue for the House Liao group anytime soon

Thank's again stalker, we will make good use of TS, and we appreciate your efforts.
