Greetings to the Black Sheep! About this blog...


The World at Arms Black Sheep Faction Blog
Welcome to the World at Arms Black Sheep Faction blog.

The Black Sheep Faction was started in May 2013 by General Robert Freeman.
As of 6/6/2014 it has grown from 1 member to 28 members!

About the Black Sheep Faction 
The Black Sheep Faction (called blcksheep on World at Arms) was named in honor of WWII Squadron VMF-214 (Now called VMA-214) which was known as the Black Sheep Squadron. The Black Sheep were led by Greg "Pappy" Boyington, a Medal of Honor winner. You can find out more about the history of the Black Sheep on Wikipedia here.

Faction Leadership

Currently the Black Sheep leadership includes:

General "Pappy" Freeman - General of the faction.

Captain Lori - Second in command. Capt. Lori is our faction XO who is responsible for maintaining the rules and tracking membership, ensuring that rules are followed. She also tracks who is pulling their weight and who is slacking.

Lt. Laskar_nkri (Lt. Laskar) - Third in command. Currently Lt. Laskar has not been assigned specific responsibilities but he is third in command.

Each of these three members has the ability to invite members into the faction. Feel free to communicate with these members if you have an interest in joining the Black Sheep.

3. Provide a forum for the leadership to easily communicate with the membership, and allow the membership to respond and ask questions in a single area.
4. Keep a written history of the faction and the amazing people in it.
