Playground inc. (_PGI) is a small group of hire-able mercenaries who use highly coordinated teamwork to achieve victory. We will not be partaking in strategus as a clan, but as an elite group of mercenaries that will serve the highest bidders. We are a group based in NA who have mostly known each other for many years and are close friends. We will be quite a force to reckon with; and already tend to have considerable sway on servers even in our unrefined state.

We are not specifically recruiting. If you want to hang out with us and learn good formations and usage for pikemen, Shielders, hoplites, Long pole arms -- PM me and I might send you our TS3 Info to hang out with us. If you like us and we like you, then maybe we are recruiting.

SUBJECT TO CHANGE; Will update. Trying to get our optimal set up.

When CanYouBlockdown_PGI and CanYouBlockUp_PGI are working together it is terrifying.
Fight one of us alone? Not a big deal. -- Fight us together? More dangerous than goretooth. We are working on making that a standard thing. We are progressing in skill and teamwork harmonizing every day we play together.

Post by: Cyclopsided on May 02, 2011, 01:23:40 pm: UPDATED ROSTER : Now a full team of 8.
2 More old friends of mine got the game. After a crash course in basic skills, tactics, etc and soon they'll be huge players on the field in a few weeks.

One of them has such scary reaction time I'm genuinely afraid of how good he will get at this game. For now he hesitates and doesn't understand game mechanics yet as of his second day. I won't want to face him in a few weeks though. Crazy reaction time wouldn't be too scary, but a ping under 20... oh god.

Woo! Appreciation!
Uumdi is a really cool guy :D
Three of his friends just got the game too! Not sure if they will be PGI, time will tell. They aren't doing any teamwork tactics yet as they are getting used to the game still. We had a very productive night learning dueling techniques and a 'course' on chambering. Oh man did they get that down fast.

*updated roster. Included Masterlady (What a ridiculous name to use). He tends to only play when I do and uses a pike/bamboo spear. He needs to play more M&B and play SC2 less!
Also noting that we are largely very casual and don't play often/At weird times, we just utilize teamwork when we are on. Hard to do when we are alone though.

Man, he won't use good weapons no matter what we tell him so he gets mad at the game and hasn't learned proper dueling still. His most used weapon is a long maul for now.
When he sees the light that is good weapons and begins to learn all the nuances, that will be the day.

And if PGi practiced together more we might actually hold formation... >.> [people aren't very willing to give up pressing WASD keys for a bit. Regardless.]
Only reason we tied vs FCC was Nobody would stick together!

Bump, we've been in a few strat fights recently, but only as individuals. We haven't gotten all on at once recently. Trying to contact some of the players since they went inactive while waiting for strategus.
We are of course still here, still being true mercenaries. Hire us for NA battles!
