Black Widow Company: military-style, veteran-owned [NA]

[Firefly]

Rather than obvously bump the longest-running recruit thread on PSU, I'd rather just continue to talk it up about BWC.

Like the Energizer bunny, we're still going. We must be doing something right - we have yet to suffer a "civil war" where members go off and form another outfit. Most of the people who are looking for a solid home in Planetside and choose to join BWC end up staying on as core members.

Our secret ingredient is... well, secret.

I would like to join but I dont think i can play for a few months because we're going to move so could i join but not be kicked unless you can only be recruited if you meet some1 online then nvm .

Normally, we kick members (or their alts) who have not logged into the game within 15 days (ie, on day 16). We have a "Leave of Absence" system that allows members to remain in BWC, provided they post an "LOA Post" on the forums. Generally speaking, we don't approve lengthy LOAs except for military TDYs or deployments, job-related training, or moves. LOAs over one month are case-by-case. If a member IS kicked due to inactivity or leavesthe game, however, they are always welcome to rejoin unless we banish them from the outfit. I hope this answers your question - if it does not, send me a PM.

I forgot to mention, we're restarting our tourney-winning BF2 team. In addition to PS and BF2, we also play Red Orchestra, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter, DDO, and Roma Victor.

Featured in the Planetside Newsletter (put that in your pipe and smoke it!)

BWC updates: implementing "rank brackets" in the miniscule Outfit Panel to allow for more ranks to be gained. Holding weekly in-house tourneys. Brought back the BF2 team, and slight restructuring to Planetside.

TF Ranger
-- Ranger Heavy Infantry detachment
-- scout/sniper detachment
TF Commando
-- spec-ops detachment
-- Agile/HA/mossie Light Infantry detachment
TF Dragon
-- air detachment
-- armor detachment

Plus you won't find any solo lonewolfs who will turn their back on you to get a kill.

Support and teamwork FTW.

BWC has some good players and try to help the empire. they do best when the OL (firefly) is not on though

Don't make me fuck you up.

Glad to see you guys still hitting it hard Firefly.

[Firefly]

Haha. We hit it hard like a fuckin' baseball player. We ain't going anywhere. Planetside may have its flaws, and SOE may be one giant clusterfuck, but it's still the best game of its kind out there. We've branched out, too, into other games. Is CDL making a comeback in PS? I haven't been able to get in-game for a while, due to some RL issues.

[Sentrosi]

Nah. To -CDL- Planetside is dead.

Most of us, including me, are mired in the morass that is World of Warcraft. I tried playing DDO but it just really sucked to me. Graphics were mediocre and the play style just didn't suit me. I'm looking at Quake Wars: Enemy Territory as my next FPS and Huxley as my next MMOFPS.

[Firefly]

We'll be picking up QW:ET as an addition to our game repertoire. I've heard first-hand that Huxley sucks. I doubt I will waste my time with it.
