Man you guys are just not thinking of the proper drama potential here! Yelling to everyone about more clans coming just leads to too much of a straight up slugging fight, we can get those anywhere! It's way way more fun for all involved when you're both coopting former enemies while also creating the perfect strategic conditions for Cappellan Skynet to backstab the other less prepared half of the sphere! Besides, this is Steiner rules destiny Vote option 4 today!

I can't tell for sure, but 6 appears to be ahead by like a couple of votes! This is going to be a close one, unless PTN allows a combo.

Considering he said "they're mutually exclusive for a reason", I think it's well past time to stop pondering this idea that we can do both. Also, voting for 4.

4. The Lyrans and their local enemies in the Clans have been a strange frenemy-building relationship since it started; let's make it official!

In the Phoenix Command LP, there has been the suggestion of a big melee thunderdome to decide who gets the leadership position. That's right. Goons in a super groggy wargame just independently decided a Trial of Position was the smartest thing to do.

All fun and games until a headcap (well, that would be fun too, just roll up another one).I suggested a death match once for a D&D spot and it was interpreted as some sort of antisocial atrocity. I shouldn't have apologized to those misinterpreting lunks. ;p Looks like 4 has got it by a couple votes. Let's analyze why they're mutually exclusive... Perhaps 6 is a rallying cry against the clans in general and makes an alliance with the Steel Viper alliance impossible? RA Rx fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Apr 18, 2017 |

The Phoenix Command ToP is tentatively set for anybody participating to be rigid plate armor and having melee weapons of their choice. My character is currently sitting out from having been shot in the knee cap (and then succeeding on a 2% roll to not pass out, and headshotting the guy who shot him), so he won't be taking part. But it should be a grand ol' time for all our future Star Captains.

This vote is waaay too close for comfort; I actually care about this one, because, Steiner.RA Rx posted:Let's analyze why they're mutually exclusive... Perhaps 6 is a rallying cry against the clans in general and makes an alliance with the Steel Viper alliance impossible? That's actually a good point, not sure why its mutual exclusive exactly. Perhaps you're right, one 4 is Steiner and Serpents fighting off the next wave to preserve their homes; 6 is Spheroids vs. Clanners? Unless its as simple as 'Go find your own fight, Hanse!' Also, do we know of the new invasion corridors? Some of it must grow through the Drac part of the Drac-Suns; wouldn't it be at least neighborly to tell Poppa Fox?

RA Rx posted::0 that's an amazing clutch. Both that LP and the Strike Command one are more Dwarf-Fortressy in their sign ups. You pick a character name and a preferred role, but the GM does the actual playing. We vote on loadouts and action plans and stuff though. They're pretty cool. But I digress, I'm not here to shill for other LPs. I just thought it was funny that in here we laugh at how silly the Clan thought process is and yet in another LP we unironically recommend a Trial of Position type fight to solve our dispute.

I think 4 implies some pretty heavy concessions ie. recognition of the status quo borders. That's not something Steiner can sell internally or to the rest of the inner sphere while trying to rally them. e: anyway my vote is 1. It's subtly the most interesting.

Admittedly, a bunch of dumbass dropout 18 year old mercenaries with no oversight, minimal weapons and gear, and their commanding officer being an escaped mental patient who thinks he's multiple Kurt Russel characters are held to a kinda lower bar than the average actual army.

That's not that surprising, since it's entertaining regardless of whether or not it is the smart way to spend forces.

Let's be fair here, Kerensky the Elder commanded the entirety of the SLDF and put down both the periphery rebellion and the Amaris Coup. Whether or not you agree with the Exodus, his troops had enough respect for his command to jump into oblivion with him. All source material points to him as being a competent, professional, and beloved military commander. The crazy didn't happen until he found himself at the edge of the abyss, and even then, its was after a) he died and b) Niki took one in the head. Alternate Universe Kerensky (i.e., ilKlan Natasha), that's a difference matter altogether.

Not THAT professional, he promoted his brain-damaged son to the rank of Major General. His decision to elevate Nicholas casts a negative light over every decision he made on the way to the Exodus, now that we know he intended to implement dynastic succession for his position rather than having it pass to his immediate subordinate. Also, his failure to designate a clear second who could fill the gap after DeChevelier's death contributed greatly to the Pentagon Worlds disintegrating along with the military structure of the Star League-in-Exile. I don't know if it's a coincidence that his most recent art (from Liberation of Terra) looks exactly like Putin. Furthermore, the entire Amaris Coup wouldn't have happened if he didn't do such a bad job as Regent. All those events were predicated on Kerensky neglecting the governance of the Hegemony in favor of the SLDF and neglecting Richard Cameron's development as a leader.

Actually, I never got that part; he's a solider, not a babysitter, why would anyone think he'd do a good job raising a Cameron? He could have been Regent without having the sole responsibility of molding the next leader of the Star League. In any event, let's not argue about the efficacy of a fictional character in a Stompy Robot Combat setting; I just didn't want to see another setting character reduced to a 'one-liner pile-on'.

A call to break ComStar is exactly the reason it would get you murdered. ComStar doesn't like you having freedom, and it doesn't like you having information. Having Freedom of Information is right out.
