On august 19 the merc corp sing up goes live. On this date we can officially muster. The name was originally coined by Brennus and isn't official til we sign up. Make suggestions if you got um. Let's get a roll call...

Brennus. All systems nominal.

Saving money back up, but shouldn't be a big deal to have it ready.
Crimson Guard still sounds good, although it does sound a bit like a lady's monthly appliance with "wings".

Perhaps "Vanguard" instead?
Crimson Vanguard
Having "CVG" for short (Carrier Group, IIRC), might be kind of cool.

I only have 5 mil in cbills, so it may take me a minute to get the funds.

Premium time + prime mech, I've made about 250k on a lot of our win rounds lately. And we've had a lot of wins.
I'm up to 7mil after bottoming out on a module buying frenzy. Plenty of IS mech stuff I can do without if I decide to sell some crap off.
Shouldn't take long to get built up.

For anyone that doesn't have a red color, that Kurita sale has Caput Mortuum and Rust on sale half off right now. I think I'm picking up that "Caput" one just because it
looks good. I can't tell the difference between it and hot rod red that I've eye'd before.

edit: nope, went hot rod. Just looks too good.

I'm in.

I've got about 80 mil in C-Bills laying around so I'd be willing to pick up an extra ticket or two or three.

I use Hot Rod Red and Hot Rod Black

Got 65 mil in C-Bills and can help out with a couple tickets if needed. Either Crimson Guard or Crimson Vanguard sounds good
to me.

In as well ... got $25M saved up.

I'm in as well, haven't had much time to play the last couple of weeks but have 90M saved up and can help buy another ticket or two if needed.

I've only got about 8M CB right now, and I'm trying to save up for a Timberwolf when they're released for CB.

Plus, we're expecting a baby girl at the end of August. So my ability to get online for MWO might be pretty limited, let alone my ability to play at prescheduled times when others are counting on me being there.

So I may be cheering you guys on from the sidelines for a while.

Is this it then. Are there so few of us left?

I'll send an email to Baron von Boozletopf I'm sure he's in as well.

How many licenses do we have to buy to create the unit? I can't remember, but it isn't like everyone has to pitch in.

Can't remember and it's bound to change anyway.

I would be willing to bet that when/if community warfare actually becomes a THING, there will be a burst of new players and old ones returning that will be joining in.

Heck, if Feetwet could come back, then ANYTHING is possible!




EDIT: The original buy-in was 12 tickets at 18 mil each.

I'm good for 3 maybe 4 if need be. I don't think it will be a problem to get to 12.
