Hopefully recruitment at HP is coming along well! I wish your group the best of luck, Zylo.

Thanks Crunch.

Recruiting is going pretty good with most of the new members and recruits being very active in MWO.

So I guess now there are 3.

Each pony merc group seems to attract a different type of player, Hell's Ponies is more about MWO as the primary focus but we still like ponies.

[Zylo]

Hell's Ponies is looking for more recruits, especially a few more light pilots.

New members can get into groups right away with us and join the fun on our Teamspeak server.

While we are still a small corp our members are very active in game and we usually have players online to group with even outside peak US times.

[Zylo]

With 8 player groups returning soon competitive tournament play will not be far behind.

As a smaller corp a new member would have a far greater chance of getting to play on a tournament team with us compared to a large corp where they could expect to just watch the established team compete.

As a potential recruit a decision must be made if you have a desire to play in tournaments: Do you want to watch future tournament play as part of a large corp or do you want to actually be a part of the tournament team playing the matches as part of the team rather than just warming the bench?

With Hell's Ponies you can be a part of the tournament team if you are the competitive type. Casual members are also welcome as part of our reserves group with no pressure to play in tournaments.

Send me a PM If you need a team to practice against Zylo.

This may still be difficult to do with the phase 2 matchmaker plans but will send you a PM when we are ready to do some organized practice drops against another team.

[Zylo]

With the return of 8 player groups this is a great time to get into the action as a recruit in Hell's Ponies.

No crazy recruiting process here! Just a simple application form and the rest of the recruiting process is handled in game. You'll get into the action fast as a part of Hell's Ponies.

Hell's Ponies will also continue to run small groups for those who prefer a more casual gameplay experience. New recruits can choose between the "Iron Pony" division (for competitive play) or the "Reserves" (for casual play).

[Zylo]

Hell's Ponies is currently looking for a few Assault pilots as highest priority and a few long range direct fire specialists as second priority for future tournament team positions.

Positions for other mech type pilots are available as well. If you want to play on a tournament team when better game support is added for tournament play then check out Hell's Ponies and secure your spot on the team.

Due to our smaller size the chance of actually getting to play in tournaments will be far greater compared to larger merc corps.

Thanks for the compliment, we do our best working as a team so if you do want to become part of the team head over to our site at www.hellsponies.com and fill out an application. It's just a basic website application and the rest takes place in game. We have a teamspeak server as well to enhance our teamwork.

Well.. considering I finally tried out a Streakcat A1 the last 2 days before ECM was added just to see if they really were OP I enjoy de-clawing the Streakcats with my Raven 3L while firing streaks at them.

I really like ECM but it does tip the balance in the favor of the light mechs, at least until collisions return which will restore game balance a bit.

Highest priority recruiting at this time:
Assault pilots
Long range direct fire (snipers)

We are currently accepting all types of mech pilots at this time so feel free to apply even if your favorite role or mech type isn't listed under high priority recruiting.

[Zeke Steiner]

Dear Princess Ceslestia,
Sometimes, going alone may seem like a good idea, especially when the world around you seems so distant and cold. Especially when some ponies just don't have the time of day. But let me tell you, the members at Hellsponies are always happy to help and ready for what may be.

[Zylo]

Hell's Ponies is still looking for a few assault pilots as highest priority.

[Zylo]

Still looking for a few assault pilots, we have a good mix of other mech weights currently.

Atlas DDC with ECM is ideal. Other assault types are currently being accepted as well. Experienced pilots preferred for assault positions.

[Zylo]

Hell's Ponies could use a few more assault pilots as highest priority. We are also accepting other types of mech pilots.

Keep in mind, if you don't like ponies you probably won't fit in with us.

[Zylo]

Do you plan to pilot a Stalker in the near future?

Do you like ponies?

If you answered yes to both of the above questions check out Hell's Ponies Merc Corp. We could use a few more assault class pilots.


If you don't pilot an assault but still like ponies feel free to apply anyway, we can always use additional pilots of other mech types.


Updated Dec 14 @1945PST:
The account activation process has changed.
New recruits will need to send a PM to "Zylo" on the MWO forums with the account name matching the registered account name on the Hell's Ponies site. Once this is done the registered account on the Hell's Ponies site will be activated.

Hell's Ponies takes the security of the corp seriously. We are sorry for any delays in the recruiting process as a result of increased security.

Hell's Ponies Merc Corp is still looking for a few more assault pilots as highest priority. We have a good mix of other mech types currently but pilots of any mech type can still apply to join us.

Account activation has changed, see the above post for details.
