Praetorian Guard has been resecuring and capturing bases for the New Conglomerate since 2006. We are a mobile infantry based unit, we roll in vehicles and galaxies, using coordinated movements to hit the enemy in force and press our advantage. Our requirements are that you be 18 or older, able to use voice coms to listen (currently Mumble), and follow the squad/platoon when running operations. Requirements aside, we are open to anyone, but we're not for everyone. Our MI Doctrine As mentioned above moving fast to get to a target is something we do often. But it's not what we prefer. Our ability to enter the battlefield as actual infantry, and work in conjunction with minor air and/or armor support is where our strength lies. More often than not when we have gone into a battlefield with two squads to a platoon we can and have fully repelled enemy infantry, armor, and sometimes even air advances from the ground. This is because everyone in PG is a Rifleman first. As long as we have ammo and a little vehicular support, the rest of the platoon can use it's Gauss + AV combination to outmaneuver and repel, or even advance against, an entire empire throwing its forces against us. Where typically, friendly armor escorts friendly infantry, we as Mobile Infantry end up escorting friendly armor. Where infantry try to suppress a base wall, we go in and take that wall. When everyone else is running around trying to score kills and completely ignoring the objective, we move through them and take those objectives. We are an island of destructive order a midst the chaos of the battlefield. What to Expect Squad designation aside, you're a member, not a number. While numbers do help in many strategic circumstances, we want members of quality not just a quantity of members. Your skill as an individual can be completely poor, and we'll still accept you and train you if you're open to it and can work to make yourself a better teammate. While the above may seem pretty lax, we're not an outfit for the feint of heart. Our turnover can get pretty high. If you do something stupid, expect to get chewed out. If you want to do your own thing all the time, expect the boot. Conversely, if you perform admirably, expect props. We have a ranking structure which we (more or less depending on the day) follow. Some days people can put in their suggestions about what to do and just talk smack etc. Others we expect you to shutup and follow orders. Moving fast and keeping up makes a big impact on how you're viewed by the Officers. With that said, we are completely open to people who want to strut their stuff. If you think you can lead, and no other ops are being run, feel free to try and start your own ops. If you want to learn, we'll help you out. Public or private we'll answer your questions if you have them and get you moving as a valued, and hopefully lifelong, member of the Mobile Infantry. Recruitment Status PG is currently under Selective Recruitment. For the time being, prospective members must apply via the application process through our forum. (See link below). This also means all normal recruitment rules apply. Over 18y/o preferred, mumble required, etc. PSA: Your K/D is irrelevant to us. Those who want to check us out or apply, apply here in the Recruitment section: http://praetorianguardgaming.com/forum/index.php
Status Update: We are currently getting apps that we cannot accept. However, we also will not necessarily reject them either (unless they're bad). If you wish to submit an app, we'll get back to you once recruitment opens up again. ETA is a month or so. But that's not set in stone.
Just wanted to say that Praetorian Guard runs a tight ship but these guys are very good. I use to coordinate a lot with p0intman on PS1 and they're very dedicated to the NC and getting **** done. I haven't worked directly with them in PS2 yet but the other outfit I platoon up with does and these guys are great. Very respectable players as well.
Thanks for the plug, sorry for the late reply. I usually peruse the forums while @ work and I'm still on holiday so this is my first time back in almost 2 weeks. (To the forum not the game) Recruitment Status Update PG is currently OPENLY recruiting again. Recruitment status is currently open as of 1/2/13 until further notice. To those who applied during the closed recruitment time, your apps were not rejected, simply ignored in a hold status until such a time as now. Hopefully you'll be hearing from us in the next couple days. Those who want to check us out or apply, apply here in the Recruitment section: http://thepraetorian.enjin.com/home As always, please read my intro post. We have scared away people because we do get demanding in battle.
Ty. My holiday is over now and with my return to trolling the forums during downtime @ work, I'm also going to be back in game so people who may have been trying to hit me up for info can do so.
I just wanted to hop in here and give a shout out to PG. They are a great group of guys that have their stuff together. If your looking for a outfit that has awesome players and solid tactics then I highly recommend checking them out.
Status Update: Our forum provider is currently undergoing maintenance and as such we can't currently accept apps. However this doesn't mean we aren't accepting members. If you are interested in not applying but entering our ranks, now is the time to do so (though you still may be asked to apply once forums are back up). PM me or look for any member in game. But please, make sure you read the #1 post in this thread so you know what to expect.
Well our forum is back up and stable. Back to applying for everyone. (Though we are skipping the pre-acceptance interview for a trial by fire.)
Zerglings are encouraged to apply. We'll turn you into Hydras, Mutas, Ultras in no time....*Spawn more Overlords*...As soon as we get more Overlords.
Was a great fight with yall last night, 11 X members + 5 PG members + 2 or 3 randoms holding a biolab vs *Enemy platoons detected* for a good half hour or so. Keep up the good work PG!
Last night on 2 occasions, the zerglings and zergfits ended up getting bottlenecked in chokepoints, afraid to push into the enemy for fear of losing their tanks. In both those instances I took my Vanguard, went through our lines, into the enemy lines and took out the defenders of those choke points at the cost of my tank. The Zergfits then followed... PG: Leading the way since 2006
[PSA] For NC: If I see infantry standing line-abreast trying to advance into enemy fire w/o pulling vehicles, I'm not wasting my time driving around the line. I will drive through you. Be smart, If you can't advance from cover to cover, advance in a vehicle. It'll result in you getting run over less by us. See you on the Battlefield
