Hello potential recruit. Before applying for our clan we would like to exercise one of our principles and be up front with you about who we are and what we are about. This is some basic information on who we are. If you wish to have more details feel free to click the link in the picture to check out our website for more info.
Why we exist: We are bound together in this Cluster by several things:
We like to play Mechwarrior Online.
We like to play as part of an organized team.
We like the lore of Battletech and the lore of the Clans.
Our guiding principles.
- We will not tailor the cluster to paying players only nor make any policies that would exclude paying or non-paying players from joining/playing as part of the cluster. However, we understand with certain activities paying players may have a net advantage in some regards. We will not make policies to undercut them either.
- We will be upfront of what is expected of all of our members as well as be upfront of what they can expect of us. We encourage our members (and potential members) to approach us about any of their concerns and or questions.
- We will never through action or inaction encourage or make policies that promote discrimination or a hostile environment for any of our members, new or old. We will also not tolerate the same behavior to be used towards others outside the cluster. We have an open door policy and highly encourage its use should this ever be an issue.
- We will not make policies that will make being part of the cluster conflict with your real life. Should you have a scheduled drop/trial/training session and something in real life prevents you from showing, you will never be penalized for it. The game will still be here and we can reschedule.
- We will not tolerate cheating. Be it through the game or other outside methods. This includes but not limited to: hacking, glitching and exploits.
- We will not make policies that require players to role play. We may have customs such as trials, and ranks, etc. But we will not ask a member to “act” like someone they are not if they don't want to.
- We will make decisions/policies based on these principles, established lore and practicality. This is the basis for our decision making process.
Having players that are good at the game in our cluster is not a bad goal. But it’s not our primary goal. Aligning with our reasons for existing as well as our principles we need players that can be part of a team while promoting a fun environment more than we need players that are good at the game. We need players that are not offended by crude jokes, others drinking while playing and constructive criticism. Through organization, consistent acquiring of knowledge and play time we in fact wish to be full of good players that happen to be good at the game.
Activity and play times:
We are very active clan but we do not necessarily have minimum play time requirement. People go on vacation, they have families to spend time with, they have jobs to go to and sometimes they got to sleep. However we organize sub-units based on availability/activity given by each player. These availabilities/activity will be respected but members may be shifted from one sub-unit to another to accommodate the sub-unit‘s overall availability/activity.
Currently our most active play times are between 6pm to 2am PST on weekdays and 5pm-12am on the weekends. We are also looking for players on the earlier / later end of those times as we do have players that extend beyond that as well.
The base requirements for joining the cluster are:
- A command of the English language
- A working microphone
- Teamspeak 3 (which can be found here)
- Gmail account (this doesn't need to be the email you use just needed for viewing documents) One can be made here.
- A computer able to run MWO at a playable FPS.
