*Actively Recruiting New Members*

History of the United States Marine Corps During the Civil War:

Formed on November 10th, 1775, the Marine Corps has been a driving force for the United States Military, spending most of it's early service on blockade guard duty, shore guard duty, maintaining the United States Navy's port security, and landings and security in foreign and domestic territory where the United States had interest. During the civil war, the United States Marine Corps did much of the same, with one of it's most memorable moments being the assault and capture of New Orleans from the Confederate States of America. During the First Battle of Bull Run, there was a Marine detachment of 348 men that helped protect a battery of Union Artillery. The Marines were credited with brave action throughout the battle but ultimately were forced to retreat, along with the rest of the Union Army. Marines were instrumental in the success of the Anaconda Plan, which was a plan to split the Confederate States of America in half in order to starve them of supplies. During this time, Marines were mainly used to man guns and provide fire support aboard ironclads and other ships while assaulting Confederate positions in harbors and on rivers. During the battle of Drewry's Bluff, Corporal John F. Mackie was aboard a U.S. Navy ship, when guns were knocked out of action and multiple casualties were sustained. During the heavy gunfire from the shores, Cpl. Mackie reinstated the gun into an active state, and aided wounded men, all while returning fire to the Confederate forces. For this, he was the first Marine to be awarded the Medal of Honor. Towards the end of the war, the Marines and U.S. Navy were instrumental in the attack on the last active port for the Confederacy, located near Fort Fisher. Although this was just a diversion for the Union Army, it was still a valiant action of the Marines, with constant waves of men being thrown at the Confederacy, which was instrumental in it's capture. The Confederacy then surrendered at the Appomatox Court House three months later.

We are looking for veteran members of the Mount & Blade: Napoleonic Wars scene and the Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord scene to join our ranks in the fight against the Confederate States of America. We are also open to new joins who are just discovering this game, that are looking for a fun and active group to partake in large line battles with. We strive to be a serious regiment on the battlefield, but a fun, close-knit community outside of that as well. We are open to recruits from any region and any age. There is no trolling that will be allowed, and no discrimination or ostracization of other players in the group. If there are any questions on who to join or anything about the group in general, feel free to message me on steam and I'll make sure to get back to you as soon as possible. We Look forward to seeing everyone on the field of battle. Semper Fidelis!

2nd Slesvigske Infanteriregiment

The 2nd Slevigske Infanteriregiment is a North American-based regiment, home to veteran players in the Napoleonic Wars/North and South community. Our goal is to enjoy our time in the community, taking on events and playing in public servers from time to time. The regiment was originally founded by SirBeef, more known as Disregard, on the 23rd of September. We hope to see everyone at the events, enjoying the time this game has left.

Community / ~Corrupt Admins in NW~

The Issue with Corrupt Admins in NW

For a long time now, ever since the NW community has seen a steady decline in attendance to events (especially the more popular weekend events), there has been an ever present problem with each and every event that I attend. The admins. It's very clear what the problem is. The admins come from the same regiments, groups, clans, or whatever you want to call them, and show no sign of giving up their spot. For as long as I can remember since I joined the community, the same prominent admins have been running everything: Crusader and GinjaJosh (2ndHan), NickyJ and Jetch (LIR), Jazz (1KL), Moraine (idfk anymore), and Shrooms  (idk this one either). Every single event it seems to start with the same issue: late starts and terrible team balance. I have seen plenty of events in the past month where there was a "skill balance" excuse put in place to cover everything up. Really? Putting the 61e, 2ndHan, LIR, and RSL on the same team is a skill balance. Fuck no it ain't. It's definitely not those exact regiments on the same team every time, but you get the just of what I'm saying. Stacking all the bigger, and, arguably somewhat skilled/veteran groups on one team is not a "skill balance". The admins clearly only want to stack their own regiment on a team that they feel like has the greatest chance of winning. Which brings me to my next topic: specialties. Holy fuck y'all got the same specs for the same regiments almost every single night like what the hell? It's almost as if some of these groups forgot how to play line for an entire event. Don't forget, the ones who usually get the specs like to break the rules for the limits as well, and don't really have any rush to correct their mistake. That shit gets really old, really fast.

To give everyone an idea, here are the regiments that admin events (to the best of my knowledge):

2ndHan
LIR
61e (sometimes)
1KL (sometimes)
6te (rarely)
And whatever regiment Shrooms is with

And the regiments that don't:

88th
8e
65y
KLB (for the most part)
41e
2ndLN
7eL
24th
1stCAN
2LBI
1stRWY
3rdEK
RKR
RSL (rarely)
HMS Pickle
34e
3e
21st
13thFL
55th
72nd
1stRddt
87th
1erGap
Nr9
And some other stragglers I can't remember

Does anyone else not see the issue? It's the same regiments every time. It's not that people don't volunteer to admin either, there have been plenty attemps (failed, clearly) to try and get some new regiments to provide admins to make things more fair. Those attempts were few and far between because of the ignorance of the people we were trying to talk to. You can rarely get a response from an admin nowadays when it comes to an issue that you have - unless you're a part of their regiment or a close friend.

Another issue, regarding the bias, is the mistreatment of those regiments that have not had an opportunity to admin yet before. Sure, some regiments may troll. That's a given. Some regiments may not act appropriately during events, but that's not the point. The point is that when someone breaks the rules against these regiments, if it's not in broad fucking daylight or on all charge when everyone is watching, nothing will be done about it. I can't really say how many times I've gone to an admin, whether it be through teamspeak or steam, about someone breaking the rules, and I either get no response from them, or they just "didn't see it" or "it's too late now". What the fuck? I can't tell you how quickly I've seen people get slayed for breaking the rules when it happens to one of the regiments that the admin is a part of. And then their player gets revived. Which, is another issue. The fucking respawning and reviving. God forbid someone is FOC'd or FOL'd and is not revived if they're a part of the admins regiment. The last time I saw that happen and they WEREN'T revived, I saw a unicorn shit a leprechaun at the edge of the flat earth.

And my last sweet, sweet surprise for everyone: corruption. It's not even funny. I just wanted to do this so I could see if it would actually work, but it did and I just couldn't keep it from anyone when I was bringing this issue into the spotlight.

Here it is:



What the fuck dude like come on. Like is this really a thing now? That's what admins are about these days? That's just shameful y'all. Taking bribes for specs? Like come on now. This is just ridiculous at this stage. This is why our community is so toxic. These are the issues that we, as a whole, need to confront. We need to address the issues and find a way to fix them as soon as possible in order to make these events more fun and enjoyable for EVERYONE, not just for a handful of regiments. Let's get new admins, have them switch out. Let's not just fucking ban an ENTIRE REGIMENT from an event, and not give a reason. This community, even though the NA side is noticeably smaller than it was a year or two years ago, still has potential. There's still room for growth and improvement in these events, we just need to make that change happen.

If you want to message me on steam, feel free to add me. I'd appreciate an open forum on this and what we can do to fix it.
