    I welcome anyone willing to help. These are some of the positions/tasks i need help with:

    General Administration
    • General decision making
    • Game mechanic balancing
    • Unanimous vote by group strongly encouraged.

    Campaign Planners
    • Responsible for creating a set of missions as part of a single contract (will likely be a panel of admin working together on this)
    • Creating oppositional force composition that is plausible, fair and fun (VERY difficult job)
    • Creating roleplaying "special events" to test player's secondary skills (non-mech/aerospace/vehicle skills such as Small Arms combat and Scrounge)

    Lance Commanders
    • Planning drop times during the week to meet with lance members and run missions (semi-autonomous, but need to work within the parameters set by the Campaign Planners)
    • Recording post-battle info (debriefings) for purposes of tracking dynamic repairs and salvage
    • Coordinating with lance members on how their mechs will be upgraded to improve Lance synergy.
    • Cheerleading

    Map Makers
    GOOD maps are very time consuming to make. We definitely need more variety of certain maps involving extreme terrain/conditions such as desert, volcanic, arctic, lunar, etc. We also could stand to have a few more temperate maps involving variable bodies of water or canyons. We will be standardizing sizes to 25x25 and 50x50 (subject to change). Those who understand the importance of making "organic" terrain could certainly help me in this regard. Maps that are designed to be "modular" (can be connected seamlessly with others) are also strongly encouraged.

    A Note On Custom Designs
    Oddly, this is the one thing I DON'T really need help with. For starters, if people have custom designs they wish to use, please keep in mind that MekHQ actually allows for full customization as part of the campaign. I have two conditions for this to happen: (1) the new mech still needs to maintain the basic "feel" of its original canon design and (2) the mech needs to feel unique in design (within reason). This latter point can be subject to interpretation, but is mainly there so we don't have everyone submitting 20 slight variations of the same mech every week.

    Well, as your XO, I'll probably be doing a bit of everything... However, my strengths lie in RP oriented stuff. Basically boss, just point me and I'll go. :D

    I'd be happy to be part of the campaign planning, haven't played around in the map maker yet, but its something i'd be willing to try.

    making opfors is not something I'd be knowledgable about yet, not knowing the ins and outs of BT units, but i'd be happy to help and learn. i used to make warhammer 40k campaigns and events for a living, so i feel like I'd be a quick study on that stuff

    If Dihm is still willing to be the Delta Lance leader and take care of that stuff then I can help with campaign planning, especially creating OpFor units.

    I'll be willing to take charge of Gamma Lance so that Clint Punchmaster can focus on more important things like cutting the rotors off of VTOLs.

    Okay.. just had an idea. Is it possible to make an icon involving a hatchetman doing a flying kick? I ask if it is possible because it might be TOO MUCH AWESOME TO HANDLE. Bonus points if it has a gi and absurdly long bandana thing that all karate dudes seem to wear.


    Also... they are taking over. They've already planted a chip in my... gyaaah! Nothing... they planted nothing! I was kidding!

    I think you got me confused on mapmaking, I have no knowledge of how to do such a thing.

    I dont want to run a lance this time cause I dont think I have the time I think it takes to do a good job at it. If however no one else will I can try best I can.
