Never heard of you guys, honestly. Do you have some vids flying around, showing your team/s in action?

:D

Not to be any ruder than your post (sorry in advance), but it doesn't matter if you've heard of us. I've never heard of you but I didn't go seeking you out to post in your thread. You're here, we're here, that's all that matters. I believe in terminology titled "the quiet professionals". We're not the best thing in online gaming or real-world competitions and we're not a team that spams the internet with needless trivialities such as ownage videos set to a swanky soundtrack. We're just a team that sets out to have fun and win. The end.

Bravo Firefly
Couldn't have said it better myself (which is why I didn't say such a thing)

Well, I was asking for vids because seeing is believing. Lotsa pretenders out there, you know.
I thought it fairly standard to have vids to show these days ... just saying. I'm not implying something or mean to be rude, as you implied, I've asked a question and was honest about it. Don't like it? Tough.

Your call.

I'm not sure we really have any videos, though someone else might want to confirm that for me. I mean, most of it would either be MW:LL or MW4 anyway, I think. Still, I'm not a huge fan about posting our stuff online for people to watch, but if someone in the BWC wants to put together a promotional video or something for recruiting, I can get behind that.

Hmm. I wasn't aware there was a "standard" for online gaming and showing how much of an internet bad-*** one might be. When my members and I log into a video game, we don't give thought to recording our antics whether we win or lose - we're too busy having fun and, in many cases, winning. We also flat-out don't give a flying **** about proving ourselves to outsiders such as yourself.

So, my "call" as you put it, is that I see no reason to prove anything to you. I don't know you. I don't care. If you need to measure your e-peen with someone, kindly find another group. Don't like it? Tough. You come in here trolling, so you get the brutal answer. Have a nice day.

@Curon
Please do that. It's not so much about showing individiual skills, more about getting a feeling for how you guys roll as a group.
There was a vid that I saw lately in another game, where a couple guys linked up for a quick session in clearly underpowered 'vehicles'. Pretty good unit cohesion and coordination, voice discipline and tactical awareness. Just a few skills that make a difference in a team based game.

I'm getting a lot of hate from your Clan buddy. Any particular reason for that?

You're getting "hate" because you're trolling. This will be my final reply on this particular matter. If you insist on pursuing this discussion, my advice is that you take it to PM - if you insist on derailing our recruitment thread I will start reporting your troll posts.

The fact that we have 21 pages of recruiting thread with multiple people asking to join us, as well as a healthy roster of new recruits from this specific forum, tells me that we're doing something right outside of this forum. That you don't know who we are does not concern me in the least. Your opinion, such that it is, matters a sum total of: zero. I'm genuinely sorry to be abrasive to you, person that I've never met and never heard of before, but that's the way it is - you brought this on yourself with your rude and trolly behaviour. Your opinion of me or more importantly of BWC affects nothing. More to the point, this is not a dick-measuring thread - it is a recruitment thread, no matter how you may wish to try and troll it to your own purposes. I intend to keep this on track and if you insist on trolling, I will be a jerk and start reporting your posts. Either join, or don't. That's what this thread is for.

What you think, frankly, does not matter to me. What matters is that *I* know who we are, that *WE* know who we are, and that our ten-year history of online gaming speaks for itself to those in the know. I could be trite and smarmy with you and post a "Let Me Google That For You" link, but it serves no purpose other than to reinforce the fact that I'm a sarcastic a-hole who cares not for the random opinions of someone trying to call my team out and get some "Gotcha!" moments for his e-peen wall of fame. And in keeping with that, I will also say this: we don't follow these "fairly standard" established norms that may or may not exist in terms of proving ourselves. We have nothing to prove. We go out there, we have fun, we may win and we may lose. That's the only thing we need. I have a wall full of awards on my "I Love Me" wall at home, and some of them include accolades given to Black Widow Company. I don't need to run around the internet telling people that I'm a hardcore internet bad-***. I just don't. People who run their mouths about how awesome they are, in my experience, generally are not awesome and need to throw up a wall of flak to disguise the fact that they have low self-esteem or a lack of skill.

You see, the majority of our members are military veterans or active-duty servicemembers and the bulk of us, serving or not, don't have this deep, burning sense of need to show their peen0rz online. We are an accomplished group, both real-life and online, of people. We are well-established in multiple games and we are established off the internet as well, both as people with careers and as a fraternity of paintballers that regularly win awards. I'm terribly sorry that this doesn't jive with your sense of entitlement towards Q&A sessions with perfect strangers, and I'm incredibly sorry to disappoint and crush your sense of ownership towards online credit-rating, but if you don't like my answer to your incredibly rude question, as you say, "tough". You can claim all you want that it wasn't intended to be rude but the bottom line is, you came into our thread and attempted to troll in a rather rude manner. And here you are playing the martyr acting like you're somehow wounded that I responded the way that I did. So you're really not going to like this reply.

"Never heard of you guys"
"Seeing is believing"
"Lotsa pretenders"

There's nothing to "believe". We are who we are and we're not pretending to be anything we're not, nor claiming to be anyone that we are not. I feel 100% confident that A.) you did not read the first page and B.) you probably wouldn't have a legitimate reason to troll had you actually done so. Why don't you be incredibly specific about what your issue is, and stop trolling? You've got a lot of balls, or more likely an over-inflated sense of entitled yet arrogant ego, to come into some random stranger's recruitment thread for a video game that isn't even out yet and mouth off like that. It sounds like you're trolling, or trying to measure your e-peen with people you've clearly never met. I'm curious as to the why, and I'm curious as to what your specific issue with us is.

So~ I am a casual gammer, I care not for winning or loosing but I do really like team play, I am a meh below average player in skills if I would rate myself.

Anyway getting to the point, I am really intrested in this merc crop (correct me if i'm wrong) and I am wondering on how I would be able to join this group?

If you're interested in joining, head on over to our forum site HERE and post in the Recruiting Forum. Make sure you read the "READ FIRST: Recruitment Application" thread first to make sure you know what's expected and the general format. Looking forward to seeing your application!

As Curon noted, all you do is head to the BWC forums and submit your application. Provided you agree to our fairly simple terms, which are outlined during registration and again in the application template, you stand a rock-solid 100% chance of getting in.

As for skill... skill not required - we believe in teamwork and coordination, which most of the time (we've discovered) will trump a solo hotshot. Skill certainly helps, but in many cases skill can be trained.

^This. We do provide a ton of opportunity to practice and train. We also help you with your "I love me" wall for utilizing the training we offer.

Well, I assume you can see the forums, since you've posted your application correctly. Firefly and Curon have already replied under your application, so you should log in and check into that. If you can't log in, then you need to PM Firefly, as you won't get anything done BWC Forum-related by posting in the MWO BWC recruitment forum.

Don't worry. Once you've got the FS squared away, then we can try and focus on getting MW:LL.

It'll come together for you very soon here. Everyone is a little bit lost when doing the recruitment process, as a recruit doesn't see a lot of the behind-the-scenes work. If you'd like a sit down, PM me (in the BWC website) a time and date (anytime is good after 1900 EST on any day) and I'll meet you on Teamspeak (TS) to answer any questions you have.

Or just log into Teamspeak - we're multi-game so there are probably going to be plenty of people on at any given time.
