Basically it's just what the description of the usergroup list says. Talking about real life military weaponry and vehicles and their sci fi counterparts. If you want membership join the usergroup and PM Seaskimmer about it.

Don't forget the debasement of mecha, although that's trailed off after the initial point was made.

Bah. The Mess is so much better. But our requirements are far more selective.

A notice to applicants. If you do not message me asking if you can and giving a reason why, do not hold up your hopes for a favorable outcome.

TREASONOUS WORDS! The combattment of the mecha scum at every turn and the purging of potential mecha sympathizers from the glorious ranks of the HAB continue's unabated.

Obviously, you're as blind as your avatar suggests. It's in my sig.

As for details, I don't think it's from anything, but more inspired by it. You'd have to ask Tsyroc though.

Unless this is a not-so-subtle dig at us. In which case, well... You guys talk about it, we live it. Hah. :P

I suppose it depends when Sea Skimmer is logged on to the board. I got accepted mere minutes after I made my application...

Obviously not that much more selective if we let you in.. :P

But seriously, like you said later on:

"The HAB talks it. The Mess lives it."
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

It is similar to the logo for one of the New Mexico universities but I think I found the original wolf logo on some site for a small college or maybe even a high school.

A question related to the original topic of the thread. I noticed that everyone with a HAB sig has their own position/rank in the brigade. Is the rank given to you, or do you choose it yourself?

Unfortunately, at the cyclic rate, the '19 gets clogged up easily. No body likes prying the 40mm gernade, stuck to the 60lbs bolt off. :wink:
