Ferrous Core

A PC gaming community with an RNG problem; founded in June 2017 on PC Destiny 2 as a community of gamers with similar interests, we are now expanding to The Division and continuing to recruit hobbyist players, awesome people, and anyone seeking to learn, adapt, and improve at this hobby of ours.

-------

**About Us**
 

    Name: Ferrous Core

    Platform: PC

    Main Time Zone: EST / GMT-5
    Age Floor: 18+
    Average Age: 27


CORE was founded by a group of friends and r/fireteams acquaintances frustrated with past experiences in other communities; we came to the realization that to play in the community we had always wanted we would need to build it ourselves. We're based on four principles (below) of fun, teamwork, maturity, and the priority of our real lives above all else.
 

We’re presently a majority Destiny 2 community, with The Division being a new addition to our stable of supported titles in preparation for The Division 2. While we enjoy Destiny and want D2 to succeed, it has reminded us not to put all of our eggs in a proverbial single container. For more information about our expansion plans, check the games page on http://www.FerrousCore.com/

Drawing parallels from our Destiny playerbase, we are primarily PvE focused with sub-sets of PVP. We use Discord for almost everything; text and voice, supplemented by a the100 page for game scheduling.

We also just celebrated our first anniversary as a community in June, and we made a little video compiling some of our members videos, gifs, and screencaps. [Feel free to give it a watch.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd-wDGCFjsA)

Our principles:

1. **Games are meant to be fun.** Games are an escape, an entertaining and challenging diversion from our day to day lives. Thus, if you're not having fun playing in any given group, why are you playing with them? At Ferrous Core we're about mutual respect among adults while playing for good fights, good loot, and more tally marks in the win column.

2. **Teamwork is overpowered, so USE IT.** We are unashamed tryhards. We play to win, because victory and personal success in these digital realms is always more rewarding and fun than the alternative. We will joke and laugh and screw around, but all players here are expected to put on their game face and play hard when the caller says it’s time to be serious.

3. **Maturity, Responsibility, and Self-Improvement.** We seek to foster an environment in which players identify and take responsibility for their own actions and defects, and seek assistance in improving both their level of play and themselves at and away from the keyboard. It is only in cooperation and pushing each other to be better that any of us may reach our full potential, both as gamers and as human beings.

4. **Real life always comes first.** There might be some good-natured ribbing if you have to go tuck in your kid, kiss your SO, or let the dog out, but as much we love the games we play our meatspace lives and responsibilities *always* take priority.

**Requirements and Application Process**

   Requirements
   Platform: PC
   Age: 18+
   Language: English, conversational at minimum

Once you join our Discord and speak with a recruiter we tag you as an "Auxiliary" or green name; think of being an Auxiliary as a "test drive." We want you to get a feel for the group, play with people, and hang out in Discord. During this time the regulars will review and vote for you in a private channel, and once you receive enough positive reviews you'll be elevated to the rank of Regular yourself. Once you convert to regular, if you need to go inactive and come back later, you'll retain all your old access and we will make a bungie clan slot for you if necessary.

To be clear, *you get out what you put in here*, if you're active in voice you'll be noticed for sure. If you just sign up but never talk and never party up with people, don't expect votes. We place an emphasis on teamwork and camaraderie, not lone wolfing it.

If you  think that Ferrous Core could be a good fit for you: message Likwidflux#8092 on Discord, or u/Likwidflux on reddit. Once you get in touch with myself or another recruiter we'll have a quick chat to get to know each other, and then get your role/permissions sorted out on Discord.

Cheers folks,
