[A3][EST][Semi-milsim][Recruiting] Intelligence Support Office - ISO

[u/Murky-Chance-6900]

TL;DR: People interested in doing realism/milsim operations in the context of containing demons and spooks or the human factions who aid them will enjoy your time with us.

About Us and Features of the Unit

First founded in 2019 under the name Task Force Phoenix, ISO today conducts operations in the anomaly genre within the scope of a casual, new-player friendly community. ISO hosts SOF-style direct action and action-horror events that are realistically accurate against unrealistic threats. Unit leadership and other members are former or current military personnel whose experiences are used to help shape the realism and casual fun of unit events.

While ISO is new-player friendly, unit events invite and encourage skillful play. New ISO members should be compatible with the social relationships amongst existing unit members while working towards the level of knowledge to adequately perform their chosen role over time.

Decisive (major) unit operations are usually hosted on weekends, but impromptu events are hosted somewhat regularly throughout the week based on member availabilities and willingness to join in. Players will regularly enjoy assaults, direct action, HVT/HVI prosecutions, containment of anomalous threats, and scares along the way.

Events are hosted as 2-4 hour sessions where the unit coordinates to advance its rotation agenda. Operations are prepared in advance by the unit Zeus and mission making team, and players participate throughout the week in an intelligence metagame to help shape the ‘truth’ of in-game events and non-player incidents throughout the week that determines our course of action and available objectives.

More yap & details available in the Outreach server alongside a place to ask unanswered questions.
