- Is looking for highly skilled, experienced pilots with a strong desire to work as a team. The NLR is dedicated to developing and using team based strategy to win games. Are you up for true Metagaming?



(Edit: We hope that the game will develop into a form which will allow squad vs. squad combat or at !east so we have the ability to choose our teammates within a game. Until then many strategic elements will not be available. Someday....)

Metagame (n)

The highest level of strategy in many complex games, metagame refers to any aspect of strategy that involves thinking about what your opponent is thinking you are thinking.

Metagame comes into play in any game where no single strategy is dominant and opposing sides are aware of multiple strategies that can succeed dependent upon opponents' actions. In order to perform at the highest level, it then becomes necessary to think about what your opponent thinks you will do (which may depend on what he thinks you think he thinks he will do, etc.) and to make decisions based on clues regarding what level they are thinking on.

Applicants must be tenacious and resourceful in action and must be willing to face the displeasure of other established pilots and squads who may consider use of tactics to be a form of cheating. “Tactics” are strategic actions taken with the intention of helping your team to win the mission. Contentious issues may include “dropping”, “sneaking”, “camping” and in some instances “spawn killing”. While some players and squads see these as cheating and abusive, the NLR chooses to use these as valid strategy when done in an effort to win the game. The NLR does not support "stat padding" or abusive game play. These tactics are used to promote the many different strategic elements available within the game. Where head-to-head shooting focuses mostly on a player’s shooting skills, use of a full range of play styles uses many different skills and abilities.

The NLR is not a new squad. It was founded over two years ago and has always been well respected both for its highly skilled pilots and for its lack of drama and controversy. Anyone wishing to join the NLR must be ready to avoid personal attacks, to answer criticism with reason and to avoid inflaming arguments. This does not mean that we do not stand up for ourselves.



Feel free to visit our website newlunarrepublic.spruz.com/

Apply here or by PM to an NLR Officer. We prefer applicants to be level 12 or above and have a high (> 1.5 / 1) kill to death ratio, exceptions will be made in consideration of other merits. Please be patient. The NLR intends to remain fairly small so we will need to discuss applicants and will want to see potential recruits in-game before making any decisions. We encourage our members to be active on the forum, our website or our private chat app in order to coordinate plans and times we can fly as a squad. Some members use additional means of communication, though it must be remembered that no personal information is to be shared in-game or on the forum.

Yay!! Glad to see the re-launch/recruitment thread up!!! Now we patiently wait

Here is a little of the thinking that went into NLRs new recruiting guidelines for the rest of you

With Squad Wars quickly approaching this will become more and more true....


So imagine heading into battle against some of DFs best and you are able to call on the likes of XxXxX aka Reid (top 40), McFate (top 50), 420 (top 60), Ishan Sang (top 100), AceLink (MORAF), Schrom (MORAF) Ect Ect Ect.... and knowing that there are no Weak Links and any Squad member that is by your side can hold their own!! We will be housing all our pilots together in one squad of 50, and not dividing our pilots!! So for an experienced pilot with good skills this is a very exciting idea!!!

In my opinion DF has been missing that "elite" squad (until NOW) with a strong focus on teamwork, strategy, and tactics, and I am very excited to be a part of this, and for what the future holds!!

Its always fun flying and practicing with you guys as a group and communicating our tactics to each other while we fly (shhhhh), and i know there will be many more pilots that fit the bill that will want to be a part of the "New" Lunar Republic!!!!!

Note: Considering we are looking for those Experienced pilots that may be looking for a change of pace or just a squad where you can fly how you like without higher ranks saying it is wrong (here we will join you LOL) we realize alot of the pilots we would like to add to the roster may already be in a squad, so feel free to PM any officer to keep things quiet until you have made it official.

Great work guys, looks awesome

Just posted 2 names to the private part of website! I spoke with a cpl promising prospects via PM yesterday so check the site and keep your eyes open for them as they would both make great additions to the family and will be of great help come squad wars! Because my contact with them has been in PMs i am keeping their names private until they choose otherwise. Thx guys!

Note: Luna and Octavia just posted on the site as well so make sure to drop by and check the update!

McFate, you since you've been made moderator, feel free to edit the front page whenever/however you seem fit. I'm sure Luna won't mind!

420, Luna holds you in very high regards and I haven't really gotten the chance to know you but I do too!
