Wake-Up Bomb

"I look good in a glass pack.   I look good and mean.   I look good in metallic, sick, wraparound blackout tease."

Sorry for the long absence from the blogosphere, Gatekeepers.

As you know by now, we're far from home and still fighting the good fight.  You've all heard the rumors by now, real and manufactured.  None of that matters here - we'll save that for the writers.

Today, I want to let everyone out there know that we are (in fact) still here, and still gaming just as hard as we have been.  The Summer Slump has come again, and though we struggle to get folks on all at the same time (schedules, kids and whatnot) we still have a full 30 active MechWarriors, and have even drafted a few more returns.

We had a bit of a bomb go off (?) and now we're on a long journey.  We do not intend (at this time) to return to House Liao - and all Gatekeepers know why.  This woke us up to the larger game that we're missing, namely that there are communities that react well to both our demeanor and nature.  After getting used to that new emblem by our names, many of us wonder why it took so long to occur.

Our friends outside House Liao have been very supportive.  The cesspool of a community that is House Liao in MWO needs to be cleaned out - flushed of all the free-floating turds that damage the game for everyone.  Since we have not encountered any sort of issue outside of that faction, either while we still fought for the Confederation or since we left, we must conclude that it's not our organization causing all the issues.

If you need a place to be, MechWarriors, where you like the folks, they are helpful and quite friendly, the HLGK is the place YOU NEED to be.  Do yourself a favor, and explore the Inner Sphere with us.  There are events every single week, even during the Summer Slump.

In the next few weeks this site will metamorph.  Gatekeeper company policies are regularly revised, and a year into our Strategic Revision we think we've got the gist.  The certification program will be reorganized into a smaller set of articles focused on practicality, and the reality of our new selection of BattleMechs.  We feel that this has worked wonders players both new and veteran, and we will definitely be retaining the military feel of our unit.

Pay no attention to the things moving around.  Once we have the site map up and ready to go, a new post will be made detailing all the new Sections that will replace the old ones.  A new archive will be created so our old material is still easily searchable, but it will take some time to revise all the posts to be in line with the new structure.

You'll like it, I'm sure.  Streamlined, forged of experience to focus on practicality and the realities of the game that you might even call "meta".  Oh yeah - things are changing.  It's funny what a bomb or two can do to galvanize a community, but most governments already know that - don't they?

Oh, the wake-up bomb!

Oh, the wake-up bomb!

My head's on fire and high esteem!

Get drunk and sing along to Queen!

Practice my T-Rex moves and make the scene!

Yeah, I'd rather be anywhere doing anything!
