Regarding recruitment, it is currently closed at this moment as we work with some new additions and prosective members. We will open up again as soon as we can.
You forgot the part to mention this was your most memorial moment in DA. Ender is going to be pissed and make us all run laps around Indar now because of your failure. Way to bring down the team
It was a hard fought battle. Epic I must say, what started off as a blood battle between the VS and NC soon turned into a three way with the TR. Perfect; nothing like a good old Tech plant battle at Tawrich. Evenly fought, I estimated at least 30% pop for each side. Now, on to the specifics. Our commader, the unheralded Ender31, spent more time barking out orders than actually fighting the battle (Unfortunately he was dealing with a TR hacker). Luckily, we had already flipped the point in our favor before we lost our adjacency (This was prior to cap time changes, we had to hold off for ~8mins or so). Now came the hard part; holding off the hordes of NC/TR. If they were able to flip the point, we'd be boned cause we can't flip it back. Our lone AMS, heavily guarded and constantly repaired by dozens of Engies, soon became their focal point. As the engies desperately attempt to keep our AMS up, I finally told my partner jak, "Let's go hunting." He knows what I meant, he quickly changed from Medic to LA. As the only two LAs in the squad loaded with blocks of C4, we had one job. Draven aka Bunnehkilla, yells out, "I've fired my entire load of rockets into this NC AMS just sitting there in plain sight!" We notice it, and quickly ascend towards the surprisingly empty balcony. We jet our way towards it; our C4s simultaneously placed, he tells me to "go ahead". Debris everywhere, I fall to my death as I ran out of jump jet fuel. Jak is able to take out a few rebel scum before perishing. Respawned, I see the TR AMS on the radar parked in the bottom corner easily accessible by LAs through the balcony. Jak says, "I'll meet you over there." Unfortunately, he fell victim to the same TR hacker that ended Ender's life prior. I decide to lone wolf this, facing little resistance, I pick off a few LAs trying to make their way up. I finally descend, placed my C4, and was quickly greeted with my death screen by a friendly VS who fired a rocket that decimated my C4 and the AMS. He apologized, and I responded, "You did the right thing." Less than two minutes to go before capping and multiple AMS's down. A TR hacker and whomever remained after the wreckage of the TR/NC AMS's desperately try to push us off the point, but at this point it was vague. The VS had every angle covered. Desperate, one brave NC foe manages to fly a reaver inside the tech plant and try to crash our AMS, but he wasn't quite the pilot as any of the QRY guys. Finally, the base caps. Grandpa Vanu soundly congratulated us. SCU still intact (That's right, we did it while keeping the SCU up the whole time) and only a handful of enemies remained as they frantically flee towards the mountains. Ender's words after, "Great job, now report the hacker." We obviously did. Jak gives me a nod and I approach Ender face to face. Phobos in hand, I tell Ender, "o7". Alas, the battle for Tawrich is over.
The Reason I Joined DA Get to the corner, I tell myself. That's all that matters. Get to the corner, pop the med pack, invis and escape. Almost there... YES! …OH SH**! *CRACKKKKKK* On my back, I look down to find the shot has torn a fist sized hole through my chest. Adding insult to injury, the a-hole who delivered that final shot stands over my head and begins to crouch. The darkness comes quickly, but not before three blinding flashes of light flicker around me. Snapping back into consciousness I see a radiant figure standing over me, administering the green happy juice that fills my wound and begins regenerating the damaged tissue. Who is this savior? I look around. Where the three bastages who killed me once stood, there are now 6 body halves. That Sauron Canon. It's a beast. To my left, in the gunner seat of a harasser, stands MPal. He has been called many things, but I've found the most appropriate to be, "Warrior poet." With the deftness of a Beethoven or Bach, he strings together some of the vilest, most offensive, disjointed obscenities into something nearly musical. Every rage rant is like a love letter to his fallen victims. Today, he somehow managed to expertly weave the phrase "colon cancer" into his maniacal ode to the three who took me down. To my right, Jak quietly goes about his business of placing a large boot on the clavicle of each of the destroyed enemies. With the speedy hands of a surgeon-butcher, he removes the skull of each and, stringing a large gauge chain through their orbital sockets, fastens them to the front of Draven's magrider, where they join dozens of others. "3 more inhabitants for Bunneh Island, Draven." He says. With a grumbling, scotch induced moan, Draven manages to bark out, "MY ISLAND..." My attention goes immediately back to the one who saved me. It's hard to describe the medic leader who brought my deliverance that afternoon. Radiant, beautiful, glowing - they all seem to fall short of capturing the true essence of that angelic creature. "Stand Cu4tro. Never again will your death go un-avenged. You are DA now. Follow me.” I’m pulled into the back of a sunderer, empty except for me, my deliverer, and a well-dressed soldier with all manner of medals and stripes on his uniform. My host addresses that young man. “Your men did well today, Ender. Now give me and my new friend a few minutes, would you dear?” “Geezus mom, are you serious? Again?! You know we’re due in Tawrich in less than an hour!” “Don’t worry honey, if I’m any judge of character, this won’t take long at all.” She was right. #endersmom #shyamalan
Fanfic? These are testimonials. Why did we join DA? What are our most memorable DA moments? Seems to be the thing to do on Recruitment threads these days. I'm just glad I got mine in before the deadline. I feel bad for the other soldiers who will be assigned a week of Beacon guarding duty or virtual latrine cleaning...over.
We like to pretend sci-fi, virtual armies are like the real military, and apply that mentality appropriately. We're innovators.
We are practically experts at standing in lines, and we're going to be dragging you in front of a military tribunal for slander and encouragement of discontent.
From the other side of the wormhole, from an alternate dimension, where TR holds the 4th faction, VS holds the middle, and NC continue to be lazy potheads because freedom, I bump this thread with friendly intent. Or, for the love of Vanu, someone please stop BWC's thread bumping. Carry on.
Great Reach Cast match yesterday! You guys are extremely impressive, hopefully we can scrim more in the future!
DA and EXOC are probably the most fun outfits to fight on Mattherson and always put up a great fight. Cheers from 2RCN, I'll see you on the field.
Nice job in that Reachcast Community Clash, DA, 'twas a pleasure to watch you (sadly I've only just had time to watch it). Let's hope the next outfit keeps up the winning tradition established
I'm part of the EXOC auxiliary (terrible spelling here), But DA is really fun to fight and all their players give me a challenge and lower my K/D at the same time. But that just makes me tougher and smarter and soon enough I will bump out all DA members form the leader boards. Mwahahaha.
