    Introduction to The Pony Brigade
    We aren't just an outfit, we are a community. Our main focus is to have fun, but while we play to have fun, we also play to win. We have an awesome group of members with us. Fanfic writers, artists, musicians..etc.
    We do have rules, but they are anything but strict. The rules you'll find on there are common among any other forum site. We also have ranks! Below, you will find a list of our current ranks along side of their respectable forum icon.
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________
    Below is a list of all the ranks we have along with brief explanations about them. What you see below is how it currently is. What this means is, it is subject to change.
    ________________________________________________________________________________________
    Administrative Ranks:

    Forum Moderator
    [IMG]
    Division Leader
    *No image. Instead, the Division Leader is recognizable with a small 'DL' next to their username*
    Chain of Command:
    Captain
    [IMG]
    Commander
    [IMG]

    Guard
    *No image. Everyone is this rank at first*

    Divisions:
    AJ's Rangers
    [IMG]
    Wonderbolts
    [IMG]
    Dragoons

    ______________________________________________________________________________________________
    Descriptions:
    Administrative Ranks:

    A Forum Moderator is pretty self explanatory for someone familiar with forums. They pretty much help maintain the forum.

    The Division Leaders are the ones who evaluate new applicants for said division. For example, if you apply for the Wonderbolts, a Division Leader for the Wonderbolts must evaluate you before you are promoted.
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________
    Chain of Command:

    The Captain's are the ones who lead platoons. If there is no platoon, they assume the role of a Commander and lead squads instead.

    A Commander is someone good with leading a squad and giving out orders; they lead squads.

    A Guard is the unranked soldier in battle. They are not treated as pawns however, instead they will be given a role by either their Commander in charge, or their Captain, while on the battlefield.
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________
    Divisions:

    The AJ's Rangers are those who enjoy fighting on foot, rather than behind the wheel. They excel at some of the infantry classes, more than others.

    A Wonderbolt is one who excels in air supremacy. They are the main pilots for Liberators and Galaxies, they participate in dog fights and they usually spec in Aircraft certs.

    A Dragoon is one who excels in vehicular warfare. They are the ones who go into battle with tanks, or the driver of the Sunderer. They know how to aim and when to move. They usually spec in Ground Vehicle certs.

    There are also 2 special profile tags! They don't serve a special purpose, they are more of an 'achievement' you can gain from using the forums. Find out what they are by joining!
    ______________________________________________________________________________________________
    How our Command-Structure works:


    Leader > Captain > Commander > Guard/Division
    Explanation:
    This flowchart shows the hypothetical situation where we have 3 platoons. Given that this is a majority of Brigade members that are online, we would have the Captains leading the platoons. Under them will be the Commanders leading their respective squads. Under them will consist of the Guards, AJ's Rangers, Wonderbolts, and Dragoons. Of course this situation is a rare occurrence, but it shows that we are prepared for such an event. This system even works when we have very few members online playing together. For instance, if there are no Commanders online, any Captains online will assume the role of Commander and lead a squad. This is regulated through communication, not by structure.

    Want to join an outfit, but unsure about your skill and whether you can contribute in an outfit? No problem. Doesn't matter if your KDR is as good as undefined or as bad as approaching zero; if you're willing to be friendly, we'll welcome you. Heck, some people will even teach you if you ask. Friendliness is paramount; it is magic, after all.

    And we do get results. We might not be as massive as some of the major outfits, but we're still a force to be reckoned with.
  4. TartarusMkII

    Oh I see what you did.

    Congrats on the new thread, I support this outfit!
  5. DMD

    VS Purple is the best color for ponies.

    Give this outfit a chance and we will probably surprise you. Some ponies may be all cute and cuddly. Were not those ponies. Were technology infused super death ponies ready to scale walls, take bases, and beat the **** out of the TR and NC.

    If your interested in having a great time AND being a effective force on the VS-Waterson Server, take a look at our website.
  6. Fwendly Mushwoom

    Such a great outfit! Even though there's no skill requirement, there's no sacrifices made in organization and tactics! I've never had more fun in an MMO guild/clan than with the Pony Brigade.

    Rock on, fellow ponies! :D
  7. Ortumbra

    Our outfit welcome all members, if you need help with anything you'll find support from any of us. Come join the fray with us anytime for some squad fun!
  8. Solar Cloud

    This outfit is awesome. Everyone is extremely inviting and will help you succeed in game. If you want fun and friendship, this is the outfit for you.
  9. Vovan

    I'd just like to add since this community is rather new it's much easier to blend in, even for social ghosts such as myself (use the opportunity!)
    It's also nice that forum threads don't get derailed, apart from the joke ones of course
    Need I say you don't need to like My Little Pony to join? Just be ready for the tidal waves of friendship :D
  10. CounterClockwise

    So, this is the new thread. First, congrats!
    Pony Brigade welcome anyone you don't have to be a brony or like My Little Pony. If I have to say it's really easy to join. We are open to everyone and play for fun.
    Also, so we are not hardcore outfit that have heavy schedule ;)
  11. DerpyHooves

    I dont play the VS side of this outfit ( I play the TR) but i can vouch for it being fun and relaxing.
  12. AmusableBman

    The most positive thing I can say about the pony brigade is that the sense of community is amazing. Any time I can log on and chat with some fellow bronies while we shoot up a biolab or something. As it's getting bigger, it's getting more structured, as well. Im so glad I found the pony brigade, and I do not regret signing up one bit.
  13. DMD

    Nearly a full platoon in mumble today.
    Great job everyone! (And thanks TR for loaning us your biolab, wuhahah)
  14. Tavor-21

    You can find us in open squads/platoons every day of the week just about. The name is usually 'pony' related. We have recruited several members through just keeping squads open, and you don't have to worry about not being able to play online with people. Our mumble server is always online and it is usually active, even if it just has a few members in it.

    So if you're interested, find our squad in-game and play for a while with us! We're tons of fun and we are organized.
  16. DerpyHooves

    friendly bump from an old friend.
  17. Blackety

    We also have weekly events, such as "Pony Time!" which is pretty much a prime time to hop online to play with the rest of The Brigade. Last night was especially fun :p
