To address something a few people have said earlier about Clover and Hunter (?) possibly being brainwashed by the Vipers, keep in mind that the primary example we've seen of Clan brainwashing working, Phelan Kell, was already kinda Clanny when he got captured. Plus, he got captured by Clan Wolf, who were actively working to avoid casualties in the Inner Sphere invasion and didn't want to be there to begin with. Contrast with Steel Viper, aka rear end in a top hat Clan, and I can't see Clover succumbing to them without one heck of a fight.

Also, just because I love the dopey thing, the logo I threw together and put on the 'shirt' front: ...I did WARN you people that I was going to become the Clans' designated cheerleader. And would stop using contractions. This is but the first installment.

Veyrall posted:How would a planet even have a flammable atmosphere for longer than, maybe a day at most, like 4 hours normally? Seriously, a spark anywhere on the entire planet would light the sky on fire.* For more wacky hijinx, have the fluid also be a breathable liquid in which all the planets flora and fauna live. Also if the gas is a low explosive, it can blow itself out probably without it all burning forever maybe. Also the only compelling idea I had for Far Country was to carefully place a sheet of aluminium foil between each and every page, and then place it in a microwave. Finally, Dusk was a very important, almost neutral arbiter in the events that unfolded, although perhaps only from the fluff perspective. Her influence on the proceedings shouldn't go unheralded. Without that, many of the escapades which bought our guys the time they managed to take up might not have panned out as they did.

Well, barring a series of incredibly unlucky rolls, players knowing what they are and meta-gaming and PTN going easy on us, no, they are that dangerous. Of course, if used improperly, they won't be nearly as effective as they can, but so is dropping a daisy cutter on your army instead of the enemy.

Based on their performance last fight, it seemed more like they have a "no actual warriors" policy. The guy in the boxing match being the exception. Maybe he's secretly a captured IS pilot too. How'd that be for an alternate timeline twist? The only honorable warriors Clan Steel Viper has are the ones they stole from the IS. Their trueborns are Knox and the guy in the Naga who likes shooting unarmed planes.

Oh hey, wow, a ton has happened here while I was busy the past day and a half. I can't say I wasn't hoping Muk would pull through, but given the scenario and the odds, a loss right before the end after poor luck and careful stalling makes a cold, bitter defeat, showing the power of the clans. And we still haven't seen their most obnoxious feature (at least, some of us, including myself.) Without further delay, I'll throw in my votes, if they're still around: MVP: Sam because running a long delaying action to try to get the dropship off world was a tough job, and the ploys used made the best of a very brutal scenario. Everyone involved did a great job, baiting the clanners and trying to win, but luck, fluff, and decisions brought it all down on 1 character, who made the best possible choices given a nasty situation. Clan MVP: Drang showed the best of the clans - skilled warriors with a sense of rules, and enough flexibility to work those rules, along with the ability to pilot machines that punch well above their weight classes. The bizarre admiration, the sticking to the 'Steiner rules', and the offer of surrender all show one expression of the ideals the clans seem to represent. Dusk showed this as well, but she wasn't directly involved in the battle. There's also the fact he drove a As far as the political vote, I may as well hop on the A bandwagon. I don't necessarily think this is the smartest choice the character could make, but it seems the most appropriate, and like it would lead to interesting things. Really, anywhere this thread goes, I'm looking forward to it. The opening scenarios gave a pretty good taste of what was 'normal' before the invasion, but now we're hitting the main event, and with all the results of the votes in, the next scenario could get really crazy depending on how people play with it. It's been my experience that even something subtle like lower light visibility can have a big effect on how different armies perform, as that would handicap units reliant on very long range weaponry... unless someone was willing to spot for the LRMs.

I just realized: ComStar said anyone who attacks the LC or DC while the Clans are invading gets interdicted, right? So Hanse Davion can clear his Combine border and pull off Operation: Rat, since the Snakes are busy with Clanners. Unless Marik or Davion want to, for some reason, join in, it's nothing but Cappie-bashing for both of them.
