[Looking - Connery] No nonsense outfit

Rahabib · 2013-07-18, 11:28 AM

I guess I posted my main thread in the wrong place :P

http://www.planetside-universe.com/s...ad.php?t=55358

I am not sure this exists, but I am looking for an outfit that IS NOT TRYING TO BE A MILITARY SIM group by people who have not actually been in the military, nor recognize that this is a game.

uses team work but allows some degree of individuality. In otherwords, if I dont have a certed Max worth doing anything, then, with permission, allow me to contribute where I am at least effective. Let me be an engineer or even sniper as long as I can stay with the group and contribute toward an objective.
uses voice communications
allows me to play when I can. No I cant be on 4x a week. If I am on 2x a week that should be good. Sometimes those days are not regular either, maybe a monday and tuesday one week, thursday and friday the next. I am more than happy to post on a forum to tell you what I plan for that week
a means of communication outside of the game. I want to know when people are on so I dont log in and find that nobody is on. Use steam, forums, teamspeak, whatever, but a means I can check on my phone and decide whether its worth logging in or not.

Ok enough of my demands. I do know what its like in an "outfit." I ran my own competitive clan for CS, DODS, UT, and TF2. I have competed at a top level (for DODS my clan won open and we went 4-4 in Invite which is not easy for a second year clan). I am a team player and do follow strategies and tactics. I just don't want a clan that stresses ranks as a means of social exclusion rather than team work and strategy.

Try outs / trial periods are not only welcome but preferred.

PS: I would transfer servers/factions if its for a really cool group.

Thanks.

I think you might enjoy us, fill out an app @ Praetorian Guard

Praetorian Guard's been around since 2006/2007 in PS1, NC on Emerald and now on Connery in PS2. We don't have set OPS nights that we require people to show up, we essentially run ops whenever we get a chance, we know RL takes a precedence over everything else.

Only requirements we have is that you get onto voice coms when you login to the game, join the squad, and stick together and not go lonewolfing. We have random trainings here and there, often we work on things on the fly.

We usually have you run with us after APPing and into the outfit if no issues there for a month or so, and if it gels it gels. Its often the guy's responsiblity who recruited you to make sure you're accountable and play up to our standards.

If a lil interested to see how things run somedays, check out my highlights or previous recordings http://twitch.tv/ghstmarauder I usually take over when I get online and try to run the OPS and get us organized with our allied outfits (Recursion, Outfit x, and Mad Dog Gaming).

While we have plenty of fun in our dedicated TS, we also demand that people snap to attention when the battle heats up. When we are in a real fight comms are reserved strictly for delivering tactical information.

You know some of you guys post you are not a mill sim team yet your recruitment posts say a different story.

Well, what qualifies a mil sim group to me are the groups like ShacTac and United Operations, they ban people for doing BS trying to be funny and ban for talking about random shit during combat, while we heavily discourage it, if our leaders do find it funny they probably will let it slide. We have our fair share of drunken ops and even during those we are 1000% more organized and efficient than most TR outfits. You're welcome to check out the forums and analyze our shitposts and judge whether or not we take the game too seriously.

Every outfit is going to ask you to do stuff, i'm not going to yell at you and tell you that you should use these weapons, why are you wearing this camo, to stfu. But I think its reasonable to ask for people to redeploy or swap to a class when needed, or play with the group.

That being said I jump us around a lot and like to be the tip of the spear or the fast reaction force for the empire, and would need people to be on their A-Game when we're not messing bout.

If that might be a little too fast paced for you, there are probably more casual farming type outfits for you.

Things like set divisions, a complex ranking structure beyond just captains, members and recruits, a needless complex training (some introductory boarding I understand), and a few I have seen on the other forums even require camos. I am not necessarily saying any of you act like mil sims, as I haven't played with any of you yet - but if you are wondering why I never bothered creating applications for some of you before, its because the posts you put up sound like mil sim groups.

That said, feel free to add me as a friend (Rahabib TR Connery, NCRahabib NC Connery, GFYRaha VS Connery - BTW I just created the NC and VS for tryouts, I dont fourth faction), I am happy for groups to prove me wrong. I do stay with the team and and take objectives, as stated. I just want the social aspect to respect equality and contributions. Also, if you feel I am not good for you, then I can accept that, hence the reason I like tryouts.

As far as farming - why would you need an outfit for that? You can do much better farming as a lone wolf anyway :P

Got batteries. VS on Briggs. We're the #1 outfit somehow, and our website vanuvanuvanu.com has all our details.

Thanks, but that server is a bit too far outside my ping range
