Oh my god I'm going to have to get the requisite ten posts to post anything like 3 times...hahaha.
Still working on character. Military shipped me off for two weeks with almost no notice to attend a school that lead nowhere.

Was interesting.

If you are part of a unit that will not happen after you get the request to be added to their group. Until then you get 50 posts from me. For accurate post statistics remember how many you had and make a request in the appropiate thread.

[John Smith]

Ahh, yes the ever post to be able to post. I guess I'm starting over as well. Guess I need to start working
on it then. Humm sounds like another Civil War to me.

You have been given moderator status for House Marik and added as Ambassador and increased post count to 50. If you remember how many you had before let me know and update them.

[John Smith]

Ahh thanks, I dont remember the count so no biggy there. And thanks again.

Hello everyone, I disappeared for a while and we all go and get a shiny new forum
Sadly while I will be back in the community now I don't believe I have the time to actively be part of a unit

Hi there. Newbie here.

Posted a general Application on Mercenaries.com just now. Not 100% sure it took. After I hit Submit application it took me back to the main page, and showed me as logged out.

I can't recall our setup, but I think it requires you to confirm your email address before you can log in?

Welcome to BTM! Always nice to see new faces around... and the subsequent scramble to recruit them

Look around the boards, talk to people, ask questions. Questions tend to be answered rather quickly around here. Take your time to choose a unit (or three!) to game with. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.

[Sigurd Lande]

New Member. Old RPer. Been a while since I played BTECH, trying to get back into it.

Hallae!

[Colonel Timothy Maddox]

A bit late I guess, but Welcome to you both Sigurd Lande and Ghost Walker. I hope you enjoy the site, and find a home in one of the units on site. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask any of us, we would be glad to assist.

Thank you. If I may ask, should I apply to a specific unit, or allow the DMM to assign me? What is the generally accepted etiquette? I selected to be assigned, but if that option is rarely exercised, I might be better served by applying directly to a unit as well.

[Vampire]

I don't know about the others, but I always feel that with each unit having their own different unique style, quirks, and personnel requirements, it would be best to speak with the different members on the forum - not necessarily the Mercenary Unit Commanding Officer (MUCO) mind you, read through the unit's forum IC threads to see their way of writing, etc.

You can decide which unit would best suit you. Nothing puts a new member off more than to jump enthusiastically into a unit without any pre-knowledge of what is expected, and then lose interest when things are not to their liking.

I am NOT, by the way, suggesting that a player should up and go the moment he/she doesn't get things the way they want in a unit. Eg. I wanted a Pillager but my CO got me a Gunslinger... OR... So, my CO doens't agree to my character being a former MD who decided that I would be better off being a merc. Yeah, and of cuz I can totally take out an entire Clan Cluster in my Preta...

[Bear]

Welcome Ghost Walker and Sigurd.
Have a good boo about and get the lay of the land, delve into the craziness that we have here. Have a few chats with some of the players and see how things are in the units. Have a good one lads and have a good time here.

Vampires advice is pretty close accurate...

Examining the IC posts of some units is tricky with the recent forum wipe unfortunately, but examining the rosters, and talking with the MUCOs should be sufficient to help I think.

[GhostWalker]

Hello again, and thanks for the welcome. Got my Application to accept this time. I think the first time it was a matter of taking too long ( I was creating my Character on HBT-Solaris as I was making out my Ap.) and the system logging me out.

Edit : Oh, and I had looked at Vampires advice, but I figure, from a Role-Playing standpoint, that as a brand new Merc, just retired from active service with some pretty rough fellows ( the Xin Sheng) I wouldn't exactly be buddy buddy with anyone in a Merc Unit, so I went with Have the DMM assign me.

OK, so I received a pair of E-Mails saying that I have been assigned to the Shadow Lancers. But no E-mails from the SLs themselves, no contact information for them, and only 1 of the 4 that the Battletech-Mercenaries homesite says are active members is listed on this forum.
