It also means that nine of (presumably) eighteen Clans have forces in the Sphere now, which is a quicker rate than in the original timeline where you only had seven Clans in at this point.

Are we counting the Bear, Raven, Fox alliance gunning for the Rimworlds Republic?

Thanks, KnoxZone and jng2058. That helps a lot.

So obviously Theodore isn't too happy about the Draconis Suns thing, but if there is an heir, would he be amenable to a continuing alliance?


And Stephan Amaris seems like he's sort of an rear end.

Going all in on the animal-themed refits.

B: I did vote to see what RWR would be up to last round, and it didn't happen. So I figure I should see this through, even though I kinda like the oft-ignored FWL. Fortunately it seems like Romano's going to take the pressure off to go the other way instead -- maybe Hasek will make peace with the Taurians and bring them in?

The Falcons probably won't be as effective without Thurston around to write novels about how they magically bounce back from everything that happens to them and never lose anything meaningful though.

Ugh. I re-read some of the Falcon books recently and they do not hold up well at all.

This is a tough one. I'd love to get to see the Praetorian Guards and the NRWR in general, but on the other hand, kicking some Hasek rear end is just too tempting to pass up. So D it is.

As far as the 'mechs go -
DS7 Mackie
CC13 Raven

Clearly I encourage you all to vote for the Po, but voting for my own mech seems a bit unfair.

Also, Stefan Amaris the whatever seems like a badass to me. Hoping we get to see the descendant of true Star Lord face off against the false SLDF.

LeschNyhan posted:

Taurians making peace with the anyone tangentially related to the Federated Suns would be extremely surprising to me. Though I guess we don't know how deep the historical changes are in the PTN universe.

Gonna vote D, for the Chancellor and Capellan supremacy. Because also gently caress Amaris.

Though I do also feel bad, a bit, for Duncan. But he'll have to get his rear end kicked some more, then he can bounce back or something. Or die. I'm not sure, really.

For mechs.

It is clear that he NRWR options are splitting the vote, allowing for ugh Marik and Capellan options to gain traction. We need to rally under one of the options. Looks like B has a slight lead so I would suggest people go with that one. Shame we can't change our votes to unify under a singular banner.

Amaris needs you.

Not to be an rear end or anything, but do we really need 2 NRWR missions splitting the vote? We know nothing about them so the choice between "bestest unit" and "second bestest unit" isn't exactly a meaningful one.

The Black Guards are semi-reformed pirates; we know that much. The Praetorian Guard seem to mostly be a pseudo-Roman version of the Lyran Royal Guard what with their deployment set up as it is.

What I'm saying is B.
