"We will not make the same mistake we made in 2005-06, our members will be prepared for the abusers and griefers of Star Citizen." - Astrus What is hardcore? Sanctuary of Wanderhome is a hardcore organization. But what exactly does “hardcore” mean to us? First we will talk about what hardcore is, then we will talk about WHY S.o.W. is a Hardcore organization. S.o.W. calls itself a “entry level friendly, ‘Hardcore’ organization”. We welcome new Citizens to Sanctuary of Wanderhome, but does that mean that you have to live in your grandmother's basement or fly out and live at the ‘WANDERHOME Compound’ to satisfy org needs? Well the answer is a resounding “No.” and we think what we define as “Hardcore” may relieve and surprise you. As a “Hardcore” organization, Sanctuary of Wanderhome... Understands that “You can only be as casual as your attackers/enemies allow you to be.” (Explained below in the "why" section.) Prefers to stay goal oriented. Prefers "depth" and "complexity" as tools to enable problem solving. Hungers for game related information as to stay as adept as possible to current and potential future game “metas”. See’s defeat as an exciting puzzle to be solved rather than a moment to pity ourselves. Basks in competitive play and trains diligently, as to not become victims in the verse. Creates content for ourselves to modify or extend our gameplay in creative ways. Does “Hardcore” mean that there are less interpersonal relationships and all “work” all the time? Absolutely not. In Sanctuary of Wanderhome there are friendships that span 14+ years. Supportive friendships where our network of friends have helped each other acquire jobs, professional and financial advice, and in a few instances have even been able to help a few of our college students gain acceptance into Master’s Degree programs. Because “Hardcore” gamers are usually “hardcore” in most aspects of their lives outside of games. Why, and how, did SoW decide to make itself a hardcore organization? The days of “fun”, taken by force In the Our History video we briefly talked about “The Base Wars”, during our tenure in Star Wars Galaxies, and to understand why we chose to define ourselves as a hardcore organization, a bit more context is needed in that story. Before the base wars happened, we inadvertently became the richest org on Wanderhome server with quite a few in game commodities cornered. Most of us were pretty hardcore farmers but very casual PvP’ers, until a particular organization decided to actively hunt down our members and grief our faction bases that we used to finance our org endeavors. We attempted to bargain with them, as traders do, and we quickly found out that the only currency that our enemies wanted to deal in was our anguish, frustration and loss of pride. Demons run, when good men go to war For weeks we attempted to ignore them and it caused massive losses in morale within the org. The less we fought back, the more frequently they came to feed on our misery. One day the entire enemy organization came to our city, which at the time was the largest player city on Wanderhome server, and stood on the City Hall steps and shouted “THIS CITY IS OURS NOW. AND YOU'RE NO LONGER WELCOME”. They killed our members passing by who were attempting to peaceably do PvE faction quests near our in city faction bases and mission terminals. That was the day, in 2005, that the leaders of “<SancT>”; Astrus and co-guild leaders, Shawkorrr and Yva Xorna decided that the unprovoked abuse of our org had to stop…..Completely. We tried to take “the high road”, we tried our best to play the game the way we wanted to play it, but our enemies provided us with content that cut off our usual day to day lives in game. Sanctuary, for the first time, did not have the choice to be a “casual” or “normal” org. That choice was violently stripped from us. In this traumatic experience we had to come to grips with the reality that “We can only be as 'casual' as our enemies allow us to be.” Our “hardcore farming” lifestyle was taken from us and after weeks and weeks of attacks, we couldn't bare the constant taunting and griefing from our new found enemies in the opposite faction. We decided to fight back. We were angry, and our enemies made the rivalry far more ad-hominem than honorable. Harassing us in game and slandering us in forums and social media. Fighting back would be no easy endeavor for a org that couldn't be called casual but definitely couldn't be called PvPers either. In planning to defend ourselves for the long term, we quickly realized that the majority of our org was highly skilled at making credits, but not at defending themselves in PvP. For 3 months we played the complacent victim as we trained vigorously. We morphed ourselves into an entity that could defend ourselves at a 'top 1% PVP level' while still being able to hold our place as one of the richest orgs on Wanderhome server. The pain of transformation Over the course of 3 months we transformed ourselves into a elite, tactical fighting machine that never slept, never gave up, never surrendered. We were so effective that our allied Rebel faction orgs trusted us to command the majority of its battles in an alliance called the URF (United Rebellion Front). As noted in the "Our History" video, we beat back our abusers, and forced their org and their allies into a complete loss. However this change took a massive toll on our organization internally. To beat back our abusers we had to become, what was considered by a large sum of our members, a “Hardcore PVP Organization”. During the transition from a Industrial organization to a “hardcore” Industrial and PVP organization, we respectfully lost almost 50% of our members, most of which left because they didn't want anything to do with PvP. Most of the members who left, in 2005, loved S.o.W. as it used to be; a traders guild with not much external “drama” surrounding it. But when "drama" came for us, they weren't strong enough to stick with the org and help us weather the PVP storm. It just wasn't what they signed up for. This taught us a valuable lesson. From Chaos lessons learned We'd won the war, morale was higher than it had ever been, but in the leadership meetings we had to come to grips with a mistake we vowed to never make again; “We can never label ourselves as a normal or casual organization, because We can only be as casual as our enemies allow us to be.”... After the war was won, and surprisingly to us at the time, we gained far more members than we lost. Our members felt confident and protected. And even though we were attacked afterwards, and even lost a few battles, we knew that we had what it took to adequately defend ourselves and do more than just survive, we could thrive in battle and economically. We learned from the losses of our membership during this time, and vowed in the future to let our members know upfront what type of org S.o.W. is, was, and will need to be in the future. We must be able to deal with the many dynamic circumstances our enemies may provide us. This is why we call ourselves a "Hardcore" organization and label ourselves as such. We will not make the same mistake we made in 2005-06, our members will be prepared for the abusers and griefers of Star Citizen. We will never give up, we will never surrender, no matter the losses no matter the tenacity of our enemies. You can only be as casual as your enemies allow you to be.

N0cturnal88, at least for now. I say that because I'm not 100% if I'm set on this name in Star Citizen yet ? Long post alert! My name is Kirk, I'm 30, and I live in Texas with my wife. We recently bought a house a few months ago and are loving life, but have no kids yet. I work at Microsoft full time at our office here in Las Colinas (Irving), Texas. Texas is home for me and I wouldn't live anywhere else. I love to tinker on computers and cars, and enjoy dabbling in music/video production from time to time, though I haven't consistently gotten back into audio/video since I joined the Marines. My fun car is a 2015 Volkswagen GTI that was making 450HP to the wheels, but I am currently in the middle of having the head ported and slapping on a bigger turbo for 550 HP to the wheels ? I was in the US Marine Corps for four years as an Infantryman and got out 2.5 years ago. I was stationed in Southern California and did two deployments with the 31st MEU out of Okinawa, Japan, where we floated around the Pacific on a Navy aircraft carrier for months at a time as a force of readiness. (Everyone was getting pulled out of the sandbox when I joined, unfortunately). It wasn't what I signed up for, but I did get to see many great places around that side of the world, such as Australia, Hong Kong, Guam, Japan, and Singapore as well, and it ended up being a very good experience for me as it helped me land my job at Microsoft. Our platoon was chosen as the Maritime Raid Force during our deployments as well, so I got a lot of great training and can now shoot stuff really well. ? I began playing Star Citizen exactly a week ago after finally building a new PC (old one was many, many years old). I received a recruitment e-mail from your Org and, after watching all of the videos, was quite impressed with the organization and the dedication you seem to possess. I feel Star Citizen will be a "whatever you make it" kind of game, and having comrades to your left and right to experience it with you is crucial. I took a few days to experience SC in its current state and contemplate committing to an org, and did a little digging on a few others. I don't take commitment lightly, so wanted to be sure I could get behind whatever org I chose. Getting a recruitment e-mail a couple of days after joining SC from only your org and one other out of the hundreds certainly speaks for itself as to your commitment to actively improving your org. After seeing your Mumble channel I thought I'd hop on and see if there was anyone I could speak with. After a while Shawkorrr logged in and we talked over the next hour or so, and ultimately invited me to the event yesterday. I was thrilled to be allowed to tag along yesterday, cruise around Stanton, and experience all of the shenanigans in the Hurston forest with several of you! I had a blast, and this was exactly what I was looking for in an org. It was certainly enough for me to confirm that this org is something I could commit to, which I don't take lightly. I wouldn't make this overly-long post about myself if I didn't want to really be a part of this organization. So, after filling out the application, I'm happy to say that I am a member of this prestigious guild/organization as of yesterday. Again, thank you for having me! I very much look forward to meeting more of you and experiencing the training and further shenanigans in the future. I will try to join events as much as I can. I work the evening shift, so I'm working from around 12PM to 8-9PM CST (UTC-6) which usually translates to me staying up very late. Please let me know if there is anything I can help with, I am always happy to share any knowledge I have, whether that be with computers, cars, shooting stuff, Star Citizen, or otherwise! See you in the Verse! - N0cturnal88

Hello! New guy here. Happy to have found this great online Star Citizen community. I'm hoping to have fun with the other members here. Whenever I'm taking a break from this particular interest, I'm usually found at home, feeding my Pomeranian his favorite dog treats and watching TV with my wife. Such a simple and noble life. Cheers, fellas!

Ahoy, Space Sailors! My name is Austin (AustinFxX, and ZeDoktor) from Pennsylvania, USA, and I have just joined up with Sanctuary of Wanderhome! I was a member of Dagger Division in Underdark in my past assuming the role of smuggler, and I hope to do the same thing here under Resource Acquisition, and potentially bounty hunting under Discord Ops. Where I am will depend on my ships (Cutty Black, Connie Taurus, Hornet F7C), and where I am needed. I'm also interested in editing together some graphics, recording and editing videos, and some other media things as well! I'm looking forward to meeting y'all, and working together on the verse! - ZeDoktor

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I just got my acceptance letter lol. Looking forward to spending time with my fellow members and rising the ranks. I currently specialize in cargo/delivery but also have an interest in combat. I have been looking for a like minded group of people to share the experience with and it seems that I have found my home!

Hey thanks for the invite, I am UREROLL the newer and super sexy, slightly overweight, space trucker that we didn't know we needed! I am 38 and looking forward for some good time, not much into combat tbh ( xbox controller while in the ship... yea, lets not talk about it) I got the game mostly to take inspiration from the 3d art but I must say I got hooked up nicely! If you see me staring at a door frame for 10 minutes I am not actually high on widow, I am probably checking out the parallax occlusion. happy holidays P. S. What voice comm do we use again? I love discord but any will do edit: I just read the post about discord, mumble it is then! ?

Hi, my name is Matúš (Matthew). 21 years old. I am from Slovakia (central europe). Currently I don't have a job. No kids, no gf. I am playing video games since I was little kid. Played mostly games like Dota and CS. I was part of several teams and I attended few LAN tournaments with them. Now I ended up playing Star Citizen and I must say I love it. I joined Star Citizen community not a long time ago and I hope I found active org with awesome ppl. I would like to join mumble but I need to set it up first coz currently I am using discord for communication. If you have any questions just ask me. See you in THE GAME. ?

Hello My name is Raphael but people also call me HD i am 18 years old and i am from Austria. I am very new Star Citizen and i have never been in a dog fight but i am a filled with determination. I am a Chemestry student so you will not see me on Mondys and hardly on Tuesdays because lab is tough and i am exhausted afterwards. I hope i can fit in with you guys and girls and have some fun. who ever finds a spelling mistake can keep it.

Hey guys! My name is Bence, I am 27 years old and I live in Hungary. I work as a System Administrator and I do software development on this side. Outside of the typical CV content, I always loved role playing games and Star Citizen seemed to be one of the best Space Sim out there. I have been playing SC on and off for about 2 years now, but I have been playing solo every time and it became a bit boring after a month or two. Now that I have came back, I suddenly got an e-mail that I have been invited to the org, which I am thankful for. Thank you again and I am glad to be here. See ya'll around. (Sorry if my English is broken, I've not been able to speak it for the past 4 years) 🙇

Hello to all viewers of this thread! I'm Saveg (though my friends call me Savage ) My actual name, however, is Finn; a fellow guy seeking action within the ranks of the Wanderhome Sanctuary. I was lucky enough to be invited into this community and look forward to staying for as long as I stay an SC player and, with the end nowhere in sight, I hope to impact you all positively, generally making a difference throughout my stay as well as make some long-term friends along the way! Hope to see some of you in-game once I become a full member. and I look forward to working with you all! 😄

This month marks the 20th Anniversary of Sanctuary of Wanderhome! I'm very proud to have started and helped lead this organization for so long. The experiences within this org have shaped me as a man. There are certain circumstantial situations that gaming can present to people that test their integrity, mental prowess, problem solving and the amount a variables a person can handle thinking about when solving said problem. I have seen people become far more mature and wise because something (a puzzle or objective) or someone (an enemy or otherwise) applied pressure and challenged them in a way their out of game lives would never have. Personally Sanctuary of Wanderhome has blessed me with the opportunity to test business theories, teach and mentor and learn from professionals from all over the world. It has helped me to make business decisions and take on ventures I would never have dreamed of in my out of game life. I would be a much poorer and much more daft if it wasn't for you guys and the experiences I've had here. I've tried to give back with the investment forum, though most of you tend to get in touch with me personally for financial and professional advice. Thanks to our members, who have always been bar raisers, efficiency minded, duty driven and full of integrity! You can't not have fun with people like this! 😄 Thank you and /deepbow to our leadership team who have been instrumental in keeping us here, strong and always competitive. Thank you our future leaders who will place themselves in defense of SoW and help build SancTuarY of Wanderhome even further, so that we can be one of the top tier orgs in any game we play! Id like to ask you guys to fill out a testimonial to let us know just how much SoW means to you. It will be placed on the front of our website for others to see as they visit our site. Here's to many more years playing together and encouraging one another in and out of game.

Hi. I'm Pappy. I am a new member. I just started Star Citizen about 2 months ago. I have a Origin 325A, Drake Cutlass Black, M50 and Sabre. I also play Eve and DCS (Mostly Migs and BF-109) Looking forward to training with you. Thanks for reading.

Hey there you dirty sumnabiches!!! Had a little nostalgia hit me and this is what I found as far as being able to contact SOW is concerned. Although I do have Eilif (that crazy wookie) as a facebook friend and we occasionally cross post. I have missed you all very much. And life has drawn me away for far too long. I hope you are all doing well. I myself am doing great!!! Got married. Own a home. Still working for the FDNY as a Paramedic. Hugs and kisses from me to you. Whether we know each other or not. - SMO P.s. I can’t find my account info for this site….like a nub all over again.

Thanks for inviting me, I hope I can provide some assistance as I learn more about how this stuff works. I'm rather new to SC and I don't know much about organizations, but I do want to learn and meet some people with similar interests. Also, thanks for letting me join as a full member, I've never been apart of any guild or clan, or organization for that matter. I'm not online that often but when I am I'll be sure to check in and see if anything needs "doin'." Thanks again everyone. Happy 4th of July/Independence day!!!

Hi, I'm OgKanobii(Oh Gee Canno Bee) Or O G for short. Im thrilled to join an organization with the rich history this org has.Through all the good and bad. Im not new to star citizen but Inhaven't done much since I started last year. Anyway the verse is huge and going it alone is ok but like Most other things its better with friends. So here's to a long productive journey to the beyond.

Hello! I'm BulletHail (or Travis, if you prefer to use my real name). It's good to meet y'all. This'll be my first group I've joined that focuses on PvP content in general. I'm not a stranger to it in other games, but I've yet to be among the top players in any large games. That being said, I've been wanting to get better at space and ground combat in Star Citizen for a long time, despite a lack of options to engage in both of these normally. Concerning my own interests for Star Citizen, I very much look forward to both the exploration and salvaging gameplay that will be added eventually. Ships I like: Origin 315p MISC Reliant series Drake Vulture Xian San'Tok.Yai Things I like doing in Star Citizen: PvE combat (ground or space) Crewing other peoples ships Mining Just chilling out and talking in chat while flying around Information about me: 21 years old I work night shifts I'm from the United States (Western region) Lots of experience with rpgs (video games and tabletop) I tend to be a bit quiet in voice chat if I don't have anything to say (It doesn't mean I don't want to hang out or talk to you, it means I'm either doing something that requires my attention or have said everything I want to say) I like doing things with a group, For interests other than video games: I like anime (and other good cartoons), memes (hit me up with that good *crap* if you want), writing, history, etc. English is my native language, but I can also speak and understand French to a degree (Don't expect me to talk about anything very specific in French) I hope to get along with y'all well in the future and (potentially) become much better at PvP combat and outfitting my ships. If anyone has any problems with something I say please talk to me directly to see if the conflict can be resolved in the easiest manner possible, I'd like to avoid any drama and discuss things like reasonable people.

My name is Qtlicious & I just joined your fine organization ? I intend to focus primarily on Discord Ops. I need to download the Mumble client & get on that..I'm looking forward to meeting you all!

Hello everyone! Thank you for accepting my application ,The quick response was impressive to say the least. It's very exciting to begin Star Citizen apart of a very dedicated community, I've been part of many communities throughout my years and none have come close to this and I'm looking forward to it. I currently own a Drake Cutlass Black and the Banu Merchantman. I plan on keeping the Banu Merchantman as I'll be looking more into the Trading areas of Star Citizen more than anything else, but am still looking to improve my piloting skills a lot. Nobody wants to be ambushed and feel unprepared to lay the smack down. ? Lastly I just want to say I look forward to seeing you all around the verse! Edit: I keep looking at the sanctuary symbol on my tab, I can't stop seeing a turd. ?

Hello all, Thanks for the invite you were very reactive quite shortly after I bought the game in December and I finally decided to look at the invite and to invest more in Star Citizen. I am not usually a very social guy and am not used to play in to MMOs, but StarCitizen is very promising (considering what to expect in the future, but also we is currently in the game) and I'd like to be part of it. SoW seems like the perfect place to meet people and play together ! I own currently an Avenger Titan and would like to be an asset in our defense. See you soon in Stanton and in the Arena ! ? Btw: I am still listed as affiliate in the forum so I can't access some pages.

Tanks for the invite and add . Please if you need something just ask i like to be helpful .

I'd like to start this by thanking Sanctuary of Wanderhome for the invite into their organization! One of the first things I thought about when getting into Star Citizen was the possibility of me joining large scale group of players, and this is exactly what I was looking for! My name is Rami, you can call me that, or Wallaby. Im a 21 year old arcade and game store manager living in the USA. I'm greatly passionate about interacting with people, gaming as both a hobby and a competitive activity, and learning new things. I'm very eager to learn everything I can about my eventual position within the org, and how to best assist my friends and allies throughout the verse. I like competition and combat, but I'm never one to throw the first punch. If you're looking for someone who prefers to chill and explore, I'm your guy. Currently flying a Cutlass Black, Arrow, and Mustang Beta. Thinking about making a few upgrades however. I'll see you around the 'verse! -Wallaby

Hello everyone, thanks for the invite to the organization! My username is FewUnOrthodox, but my real name is Johnny. I'm a 18 year old college student that very much enjoying any time of realistic action game. While I probably won't be the best at it, I love any sort of combat! I'll be (attempting to) shoot down any pirate I see! Looking forward to my time here at SoW and flying alongside all of you! Happy Holidays!

Hi! I am Yoann, I am 28 years old and I come from France! Curious born, I practice music, digital creation, gastronomy, sports and videos games !! I play videos games since the 90s! Some would prefer to watch TV, I preferred to travel the world with Link! I joined Star Citizen filled with hope, one that will revolutionize the history of video games! I joined this organization because I think that the members who compose it will agree with me, and will do everything for the game to succeed! See you soon in Star Citizen!

Hello all. I'm new to the community as well as to the game. I look forward to learning a lot and having some fun. See you all around in game.

Hi there my names Tyler and im 21 years old and I glad to accepted to this organization and will look forward to playing alongside each of you in the future, im fairly new to the game so forgive my ignorance about certain things about the game but im always looking to further my knowledge and im ready to begin my journey here

Hello everyone my name is Okyanus, and I just got accepted in your organisation. I am 22 years old, active university student and I love online gaming, gives me many opportunities to meet many interesting people and make friends. I am very excited to join in the events and actions and be part of this organisation.

Well my in-game name is MerlinTheArcane but to make it short, just call me Merlin. I recieved an invite from someone from this organisation about maybe two years ago. I didn't accept it then as Star Citizen for me was such a new game and I didn't really know whether I'd fit into an organisation. As then, I was already apart of a small group of players and my playstyle may not've aligned with what an organisation may have wanted at the time. I regretfully don't have the name of the user that had invited me to the organisation and upon accepting the invite, it no longer was visible. All I know is that this user's name started with a 'G', sorry if this is unhelpful. Only recently, a friend (who goes by Nexus) and I had gotten back into Star Citizen and I'm glad we did. As we've not had greater luck playing any other space faring game other than Space Engineers and when we played the game (Star Citizen) before, we had performance issues. Since then Star Citizen has had some pretty neat and cool updates, that had brought us back. For the time being, Nexus and I will be doing salvage missions until we get to a point where we can branch out to other jobs and pursue other goals/interests that we may have. We selected all of the possible branches of the org as we didn't want to just specialise in just one branch. I'd like to think of ourselves as freelancers or even just individuals that'll be able to mesh into any role given to us. Be it: Salvage crew, security detail or even mercs. If you have any questions for me, I'll be happy to answer them. But until then, I'll see you starside. 🫡 -Merlin

I thought this would be an excellent talking point for all of us. I can't wait for the day 1 launch so I always think about the first systems I want to travel and first things I want to do and I'm sure everyone here shares these thoughts. Also talking about the first things we want to do would be a good ice breaker and allow us to align our interests and plans for the launch. Maybe as the "launch state" of the game becomes more and more predictible with all the parts of the game completing development, we can start discussing our day 1, or "First 50" days launch strategy and cooperate with our members to do what they want to do while also contributing to sanctuary in some capacity. For instance if a member wants to mine, Sanctuary should be able to tell that member "okay how about you mine x mineral because it's in our plans to focus on mining activities on these x,y,z minerals in these x,y,z star sytems". So this way A) Our members would be doing what they want to do and B) They would be contributing to our commonwealth and interests at the same time. I heard there was going to factory ownership, some degree of industry game play but I don't know the extend of it. Of course this is not something we can do right now since we are not yet close enough to launch day and everything, all the values and metas are still unpredictible and hold the potential to get overhauled at the whim of Mr. Robert. 😄 So we can just start by expressing the first things we want to do and our own individual launch plans. So here I go : I have the most fun when... except mining and salvaging I have too much fun doing several different things. Dogfights are so much fun, with ship and fps combat is fun, but also just talking to random people, meeting new people in the verse and doing things with them, going on random adventures with new fun, crazy people I meet and inventing new stuff to do and inventing our own missions and creating our own adventures is just as fun as pvp for me. I just don't like minning and salvaging at all But I don't want to get into pvp at Day 1 because I predict that in open star systems pvp is going to be chaotic. I think it will be foolish to start blasting on day one. So I will focus on pve and mastering every single modifier, every aspect of the structure of the game. Even if I don't do all the jobs and mission, I want to know what every mission's advantages, disadvantages, profit margins. I want to learn every meta, learn every modifier, how to stack them, how to combine them, how to min max everything. That's what I was doing back when I was really into hoi4 grand strategy. In our discord communities we would come together 10-20 people who knew the game very well, we would divide into two teams and develop our war industries and wage wars all night. I always liked strategy but I discovered just how much I enjoy strategy games when I discovered paradox games. I discovered that I love combining all the modifiers and min maxing obsessively but like a healty enjoyable, in check kind of obsession . So that's how my first days gonna be, I will be "testing the waters" so to speak. I want to know everything about the ocean and where will I swim and what risks will I face before I jump in. I will be starting with basic simple PvE missions, first simple cargo missions and then simple fps missions, as I start making a little wealth, I will purchase an RSI Scorpius or something like that, a heavy fighter that can do relatively higher paying pve combat missions. I will either have an npc turret gunner or convince a friend to do it for free. With that heavy fighter I will accumulate more wealth to get a big cargo ship. I will star hauling big, calculated, lucrative cargo at maximum distance across safe systems and at that point I will no longer have any worries about finances and then maybe I will setup a small home in a nice planet. I want to get bigger and bigger ships like this and get higher and higher profits with big hauling and eventually get a hammerhead and donate it to Grand Sanctuary Armada. And that will conclude my "First Plan", only when I completely fullfill this first plan I will embark on a new journey and make a new roadmap, but until then this is my launch plan from Step 1 to Final Step. This is the way. What are your plans? Maybe someone elses plans can inspire me or I can learn new things, so I'm really curious what's everyones day 1 plans and wishes are so please tell me!

Ex military AM single channel hard copy radio operation (always fun knowing you are dead man walking). It was old school back in the 1990s and was for orders that required hard copies. I will leave the reason to the imagination. But it was always fun in field training to have an army Corp of Nork scud missiles with chemical dropped on me to kill me personally. Then was at HHQ 7th Inf Div. G2 Training. Div. Commander was not going to have any army troops living the Hugh life with the air force weather section (which was my assignment). Then did Corp security for gm and then Chrysler. Later did trucking and logistic, until covid and medical issues decided that was no longer an option. Looking forward to getting back into mmo's. In fact star citizen videos were what made me make the leap. Althrough I am currently stuck in rsi launcher hell trying to get the game downloaded. It will not complete updating the game after the initial down load. Looking forward to getting into the game and learning it's ins and outs and PvE and helping to build up and strengthen the Org for launch day (whenever that is) ;-). P.S. I know I am dating myself but when did guilds become Orgs? Self depreciating smile. By the way, current domicile is Southfield, Michigan if anyone lived near me.

A simulation "role-play" event that involves some of the most powerful governments (USA/CHINA), corporations (Johnson & Johnson), and other organizations (Johns Hopkins, World Bank, and more), where they panel talks about how they world would respond to a coronavirus.....yes, they called it a coronavirus. An event ran by the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, a foundation ran by a guy who admittedly wants to reduce the population near to zero using vaccines and "healthcare"; calling it "CO²PSEC" . ........ya. Digest this as you will.

Named after the Investment Forum I started for SoW members over 13 years ago, to help our members gain financial independence. About the ship.

Hello everyone, I'm Peretti, from Brazil! I started playing Star Citizen 2 weeks ago and loved the game. I look forward for possible events we can have together as an organization. Feel free to invite me to anything, specially when it comes to making money ingame (as a poor bastard that I am). Cya

Hez folks I'm back to the game! After a few months of being AFK from the org and the game itself (solving some personal life problems and professional ones), I'm super excited to go back to active and engage-play with y'all!

Hello, I am CrngyFrg, I just joined. I don't play star citizen too often as I am always busy, but I will try to be active in this community. Aside from star citizen, I also enjoy racing games like Assetto Corsa and the F1 games, I play Rocket League, and I play some other games less frequently. IRL, I enjoy sports, specifically hockey, and am currently a student which is why I have minimal free time.

Hi guys, my name is Christian am 29 years old and work as a system administrator. I'm playing MMOS/Multiplayer games for about 15 years starting with WoW over Arma to ARK and now I've arrived at Star Citizen. In the game I am called Credas. Currently I'm testing myself in trading and mining with a few bountys in between. My native language is German, so whoever has me in voice chat sometime will hear it :D. I am happy to be here. I'm not a good fighter pilot but if someone needs support I'm your man.

Hello there! I am CptRedfish. I am your newest member. I started playing Star Citizen about 3 weeks ago and have since gotten VKG Gladiator NXTs and ordered a head/eye tracker. I guess you could say I am all in with space sims now! I am mostly a miner and trader and currently only own a prospector. I love quant mining so if anyone wants to do some mining just let me know! Glad to be here, CptRedfish

So, Hello everyone. I put a request to join a couple days ago. This request was in response to email I got from the guild. I was wondering how long it takes to get through the approval stage? A little about me. I am an old guy that has been gaming online for about 15 years, playing mostly FPS, Arma 2/3, and Elite Dangerous (which I love). I was talking to a friend for several months and finally bought the game. I have been a part of several clans over the years. I have no clue on Star Citizen and want to join a good clan to learn and support my fellow members. I was forced into retirement and I have a lot of time on my hands. So let me know what or if I need to follow up with someone? Thanks for reading.

Hi, I´m a new member of the org so please let me introduce myself. I´m 38 years old. Not married, not single. My girlfriend lives in Asia and I´m in Europe which in theese Covid19 ridden times presents somewhat of a problem. Safe to say we havent seen eachother in a while. Normally the distance is not really a problem since in my job as a software engineer i travel alot and spend about 50% of my time in Asia and 50% in Europe. But now we face different times all together. My daytime job is kinda interesting, at least I think so, first and foremost I comission and install machines that produce solar cells. Meaning I install software in hardware and make it work together with other hardware. I also travel with the machines to our customers and install them in their factories. Some customers might also want us to plan and setup the factory network and databases, so I do that. Then of course the machines need some software interface for the operators so guess what, I do that aswell. Also we have an attachment with a robot cage to the machine so I also do the programming of the robots. Job aside I try to get as much R&R as I can when I´m at home so mostly I´ll be in the sofa watching Netflix or I´m out playing airsoft on the weekends. I recently stripped the teeth of my piston in my m4 so im kinda bummed about that actually. Waiting for spare parts when all transport comapnies are going at minimal staffing is frustrating. Anyway it should be go to go for sunday I hope. My gaming history starts back in the late 80:s, some of you might remeber the text based computer games we had back then. The first type of games which actually let you have coices. That was really cool. Amiga, Commodore and the first NES all passed through my hands some way or another but I ended up preferring the computers. Wolfenstein 3D was one of the first and shortly thereafter Doom with a later upgrade to Quake. I was there for the release of Halflife and played CS when it was just a mod. In my opinion Day of Defeat was always superior in gameplay but in the end CS came out on top. Ever since then in my late teens I´ve been playing the AAA games but I have no favourite. When I remenisce I think Quake with all of its mods like Team fortress is the one that stands out the most. I have been a very competative gamer in the past but not so much anymore, there is just more to life then spending hours upon hours infront of the computer. Thats not to say I dont enyoy a good game, it´s just that we have limited time on this planet and I want to make the most of it. For example collecting stamps in your passport ? I came in contact with star citizen a long time ago but it´s just recently that i feel that it´s time to give it a shot. I dont really plan to be much of a pirate but if anyone needs my help I´ll gladly dust off the assault rifle and come to your aid. As in all mmo:s the experience is enhanced by your mates. This turned out to be more of an essay then an introduction so I´ll stop myself here. Thanks for accepting my to your organization! Erik.

Toon: Lady_Drakka RL name: Veronika Country: Czech Republic Age: 25 Occupation: Family Business - Ceramics mostly. Married: no Kids: no Hobbies: Lightsaber Fencing, dancing in VR, Theorycraft. Fav Food: I think its Pizza but i didnt had Pizza in ages now so, hard to say. Fav Drink: Ďábelský Krvesaj - if you dont know what that is, google it ? So yah, hello, tis me, here new. Letsa write som about me, those of you that are interested will read throu I guess. So yah lets start with simple things. - I am a hardcore gamer by heart. That could mean many things but for me it means that I always in the end come back to games even tho I was trying to not play that much in my free time, I always end up sittin here checking some gaming vids or just playing my fav games, so my life is made of work, work early mornings - gaming late night. Got kinda worse when i found VRchat and made some friends in there, problem is most of them are like 6 hours behind me cuz timezones, meaning me trying to spend time with em and have fun forces me to stay awake super long. Well yah not gonna change that because I like people around me and when i can talk with someone about random stuff. Why would someone at all start such a thing? Well first of all I had a long relationship, lived in diff city for few years so I basicly made tons of friends outside general area city I was growing in, meaning when the relationship broke I was forced to slide back in my life into empty space without people to talk to. Yeah I know, all negative is good for something and I'm not really here to spread negative feelings around but you people want to know something about me, so here you go. But yea this is kinda why I'm playing games alot, most of people I know are livin far away. Now me goin all hardcore on gaming, yah, had some nice success got very high in some games which is how my soul likes it. I am competetive personality tho one of my bad traits and one of my veeery visible ones is I tend to just listen to people, I speak only when there is a theme to talk about, very complicated personality I would say. - Me is complicated person but what I would dare to say I think I'm super chill. I usually just dont care much, which may sound horrible coming from me like that but what I wanted to say with it was just, I'm more open-minded, I guess, well you will see/hear for yourself I think in time right? Oh yea and talkin about my bad traits, my english is pretty bad I tend to say "like" alot, like alooooot, tis funny but can get annoying, hope not tho. What I usually tend to tell people about me as a overall is something like this: "Hello, ima mighty dragon queen! Now bring mi treasures." Take in mind I dont mean anything bad with it, I'm just being silly very often and I love silly people because when two silly people talk with each other, everyone gets so confused. Second thing that could kinda summarize me is: "I am a traveller, strategist, philosophist and a thinker" yes I know it could again mean anything here but I guess a lil mystery is not a bad thing and also I still think it does tell alot about me. Hello, you still reading? Hows you? Admire me and bring me treasures, k? ? But seriously, I dont think I should write a book here, lets just stop here ok?

Walkthru incoming with info that will be relevant for all upcoming patches.

Hay all! :-)

I joined a long time ago April 12 of 2008 ....... glad to be part of this fine fellowship of people again
