Ghost Division is a group of mercenaries founded and lead by Araym Aldrean, former Special Forces and Drake "Phantom" Malanove, a former Moscow police officer, and Chernobyl Shadow mercenary. Ghost Division was formed for one and only one goal: To make money off the Zone, something that both men do best. Due to both men's military and police experience Ghost Division is run with clockwork efficiency. When the group first surfaced it was a small batch of mercenaries that still went under the name of Chernobyl Shadows even after the group's leader left. Shortly after members began to vanish into the Zone without a trace. As of late members have resurfaced with new supporters and armaments.
OOC
I have seen mercs on every now and thin but not group's of them. You walk by and see a mercenary, not a group or even a squad, but one lone merc trying to survive by himself in the zone with not even so much as a mate to throw him a full clip when he runs low, or even one to tell him to go get his own vodka and bread. We plan to change that with Ghost Division by bringing back a large element of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games that of late has seemed to be missing in the RP. Also, we are working on our web site as we speak. (Or as you read. Whatever floats your boat?)
As stated above we've been without a real merc group for a while, Black Rain is all but dead, and the Chernobyl Shadows are dead. We're going to be bringing back a canon friendly (Well, as close to canon as we can get) merc group that's going to be ran professionally and with as little bawwing as possible. This going to be done with strictly enforced rules in place. Anything else you truly want to know can be messaged to me, or learn it in the RP you lazy bastards.
Ghost Division Rules, Ranks, and Roster.
Rules
1. Obey orders from a commanding officer no matter how much bullshit it may be. If you do not they reserve the right to take disciplinary actions. This includes anything they can think of.
2. Rookie ranking members are not allowed to leave the base of operations unless accompanied by a Sergeant or higher in rank.
3. Don't fuck with any Phantoms or Ghosts because if you do they are most likely to kill you, and if they don't I (Drake "Phantom" Malanove) will.
4. If any members of Ghost Division are found fighting within or around the compound limits disciplinary actions will be taken.
5. Do not get in any kind of altercation with a meager faction. They are our bread and butter, and I don't want to wake up one day with the whole fucking Ukrainian army blowing down my front door.
6. Lower raking members will be assigned missions unless authorized to obtain their own by a commanding officer.
7. Members will not leave the Base of Operations unless in a squad of two or more members.
8. Members will be allowed to carry any weapon of their choosing, although the suits that one is allowed will be dependent on that members rank. Also suit that members have MUST be mercenary suits or a variation of it. If a member walks in with a bandit's trench on they will most likely be fired upon.
9. The armory is off limits to all but the commanding officers if you need a weapon ask the Quarter Master or a CO, weapons given to members will be granted according to rank and accessibility.
10. Any one that is not part of Ghost Division or associated with the group is not to be allowed into the compound. If the person has a job they wish done contact a CO.

Duran, are you doing any sort of recruiting or anything yet?

I'll be doing some things soon, but I won't be moving into full swing until the group is made official. Still need a few more supports. I was going to today but I was busy as hell. Also, I'm open to suggestions on anything you think needs a second look.
Well i think it would be awesome if you used some editing program or such to make the opening picture more epic, possibly go into singleplayer and use ragdoll poses, etc. Ya know
+support looks pretty good duran

They have a ragdoll poseing mod for CoP...? Because that's where I got these screens.

Duran is a trustworthy player and the group looks great.
Perhaps it might be able to iron out the current mercs on the server.
Thats 12+ Supports i see, close to being accepted?
Very, VERY Well needed bump

Look intetersting and seems like a decent amount of work in.. I dont like merc groups all that much and prefer to be a lone wolf. But this seems to be interesting I like. color=#00ff00]SUPPORT++[/color]
15 supports! WOOT!

All this group seems like, to me, and I did read the whole post, is ' Hurr we r ex cop mercs an we run this pro an if u dont listen to us we keel u an if u dont listen to higher ranks we keel u '
While a merc group would be nice, something a little more original than '' Run by ex military/cops and if you disobey anyone above you = die ''

^^ Is what mercs are like in Stalker, INCASE you didnt notice.
Mercs are supposed to be bastards, and if thats the case, then even better, someone MIGHT be able to bring the actual canon back into Merc on SRP.

Looks good to me, wouldn't mind joining it myself.

Unlike you I can take criticism, and I can see your point. However, a mercenary group is suppose to be run by a third party organization operating inside the Zone for profit, not stalkers banding together and calling themselves mercs. Though that's basicly what stalkers are, I mean the more professional type. That's actually what I'm trying to bring out, and yes in fact this merc group is suppose to be backed and ran by a third party corporation that I won't disclose, as that's something you'll need to learn in game. On the note of being killed if you disobey, yes, you will be. A professionally ran mercenary group dose not need insubordination inside the ranks, as that will cause problems inside the group, and inside the roleplay because it WILL lead to flaming and discontent. People right now don't like mercs because they literally do whatever they please. An example would be if you hired a loner merc to do something, then he turns back around after payment and just robs you for more money, there have been complaints about that in the past and I don't need it happening inside my group in the present, and it won't be happening. So, in closing to this, if the only reason you don't like this group is because we're to act like mercenaries, then don't post anything. I recommend doing your homework on the stalker universe before acting as you did.

I can take criticism, I just didn't ask for nor want anyone's opinions or suggestions on my group. You, however asked for it.
Also, on your ' hur dur they insubordinate they pk ' why don't you just kick them out of the group?
Also, mercs aren't mass murderers who kill anyone who disobeys them like some bandit. I've done my homework you twatwaffle, but obviously you havn't.
Go hang out with some of the mercs not hired to kill you in one of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R games, and see what they're like.

On the note of what you/I said, you asked for criticism in your group posting, it was quoted to you already(Also after checking, you removed that because people were calling you out on it.). Now then, it seems you're only here to start things and to talk bad about my group. You've displayed immaturity using the words you have in the type of tone you're conveying in your posts, and there are no reasons for you to act this way. I have not at any time been rude or spiteful to you, so I'd appreciate the same from you. Lastly, if you continue flaming my group application form I will report you for it.

yah Lion your full of more bullshit than a cow pasture. and after that you removed most of what you said so do the world a favor and staple your mouth shut befor you fuck yourself over some more.

1) You did ask for criticism.
2) I'm sure if some merc was being insubordinate enough times, Duran would boot him out.
3) Mercs have good reason to shoot anyone that disobeys, it's to keep ranks and loyalty, if Duran rolled over each time someone lower then him did what they want, his group would fall apart in seconds.
4) The mercenary groups need to be professional, and letting people get off with a slap on the wrists or a boot to the ass doesn't show much to potential customers.
5) The mercs in CoP are complete dicks to you, they tell you to get lost anytime you ask them.
And to stoop to your level : l2thinkb4upost
You are becoming quite an ass toward anyone that has opinions.

I'm an ass because have an opinion of my own, and argue towards it? GG. I like your trolling, but I can see past it.
1) I asked for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism if you DISLIKED the group.
2) The way Duran put it, it would be one msitake and insta-PK.
3) I never said roll over. Kicking someone out would have the desired effect.
4) See above.
5) The game is set before Clear Sky, as far as I can tell, not in CoP or after it.
While you personally may believe me to be an asshole for having a stern opinion of you, unlike you I am mature enough to leave my personal feelings out of a post most of the time. However, IMHO, you're behaving like a rage-filled child with a need to argue with anything that opposes your ideas with the fanatica and blind rage only a pre-pubescent teen can have.
Lion, Shut up.
Khorn, Shut up.
If you want to argue take it to SF, not here.
You two are becoming a pain, arguing in two threads at once.
Your both acting like immature kids.
Sorry Jackal, I'm a stubborn ass when it comes to people like him.
Also, I took some screenshots of mercs in action, if Duran wants, I can make something for his group.

Lion you're awful new to the server to be flaming and instigating an old school member like Duran. You are welcome to post your criticism but be polite about it ."hur dur this group sux" isn't constructive criticism and makes you look like an arrogant ass.

Congratz, your group has been ACCEPTED. Your new sub-board will be mailed to you shortly in a period of 4-6 business days.
