A real one. Thousands of organisations are content to amble, which is perfectly fine, but at team Brigade we play to support each other 100%. Brigade is built to provide everyone with the ability to get involved in supporting one another. We have department heads that help organize this so our various interests as different members can be heard and actioned united. Our team leaders are diverse, who whilst all having fine leadership strengths, will be suited to all kinds of areas of group play. We will listen to you, so you can feel at ease as a team player knowing your input is helping in any area you enjoy. How do I join? Decided you like the sound of us so far?

Recruitment Q&A What are our playing times? We want our members to have plenty of options to play with each other in a less time-dependent way, so Brigade is happy to recruit anyone from around the world who will team-up within our broad playing times, which include drop-in/out events spanning hours and even weeks. Is Brigade hardcore? Sort of, yes - in our attitude to teamwork, effective comms and a willingness to follow whoever may be leading you at the time. Whilst our position structure is there to ensure that we do not end up looking like a shambles, it is light and relaxed the majority of the time and only brought into action when we start the serious fun. Can I play casually? Although both logging into our Guilded and contributing to votes, having a chat and engaging in teamwork are expected of you every month, grinding, farming and joining every event going, aren't. As a Brigader, you can feel comfortable plodding along at your own pace but must show activity within at least one event each month. After all, we are a community that plays together. Do I need to be a skilled player? Yes and no. While it is not entirely in the nature of Brigade as a whole and there are plenty of chances to team-up in our community, we can not control what you can't handle when the game throws it at you. It is your responsibility to understand your limits and be a team member when it comes to stepping aside into another activity that fits you. Wait, I have to do as I'm told? Yes. If an event is underway, we are in a tactical situation (combat) or our team undertakings are at great risk, then you must follow the instructions given to you from our event Lead or our roles higher than and including that of Commander. Don't worry, this comes into play in infrequent bouts and we do not have big egos. What if I want to play every day and become super awesome and boss people around and... Whoa! Steady on. Yes, you can absolutely progress in Brigade to positions of 'hardcore' or leading nature. If you have leadership qualities then you can apply to the position of Commander, where you are entitled to create small operations and combat mission by rallying your team as well as leading large events that are created for you. What if I'm not a leader but I like to help out with administrative things? Then you are a very welcomed asset and can fill our Officer position nicely. Here you have the opportunity to fully moderate Guilded and Twitch and can become a Supervising Officer (SO) to new trial members (kinda like a buddy to help them get settled in) where people will look up to you for your support. Thanks! Do I have a say? Yes! Brigade has a very open information and voting system in which all members' views and desires are considered compassionately and with an open mind. Suggestions are always taken into account for any upcoming activities people wish to arrange. Who is Stratcom? There are four departments and an embassy within Brigade. Each department has a head and the embassy, an ambassador. These five people are committed, clever and open people who have the necessary skills to run our organisation. All important events and contract designs, as well as everyday running, are managed by these good people. Who does this Chief. Neil person think he is, honestly? Well, he's been around a bit in gaming communities and has almost always been a part of an administration or leading position. He calls himself the Chief around these parts and is the owner of the organisation. He's also insanely good-looking and ridiculously witty and charming...what? Why are you looking at me like that? AWARDS Our awards system helps us shed light on you in a way that will give you some distinction as a member. New members will immediately see what sort of interests you may have and see how you have become a teammate to everyone. We have training-type awards that show your accomplishments in how we tactically operate; role-type awards that are held in high regard to a particular field and our esteemed 'Ace' awards for excellent combat knowledge and practice, among others, all of which are not whimsical to achieve. Any member can nominate and detail another member or even themselves for an award and is encouraged to do so. It is necessary to look out for each other in this way, so that's what we do.
