Alright, so.

I'm down to six players. That's right--we've hit the end of the player list. So, to save me some time and a whole lot of missed turns, I put together a Google Document for old player availability.

Here it is (please let me know if there're any troubles, I barely use google docs)

Find your name on the New Availability List, and if you're around and willing to play, put a big fat 'yes' next to your name. I will be skipping over anyone who doesn't, and anyone who no-showed isn't eligible.

Priority will be given to blue names who voluntarily chose to pass for one reason or another when their turn came up the first time. No Shows have been removed from the list entirely.

No idea how to write a yes next to my name there..

Your terms are accepted.

So we have the option to kill Uncle Stevie, two options to murder the Capellans and an NRWR counterattack. Well I'm certainly not voting for any of those first three, so by default:

C. Operation Rabies Shot. Righteous vengeance seems like it'll be fun for everyone involved.

I'm convinced! I want to see what other toys Amaris has hidden away in his secret base.

A) Operation Nemesis

Edit: Also, any mission where there's the slightest chance of Amaris cackling as he calls out for King Atlas to protect him has my vote.

B. This seems like the most likely choice that will allow us to play as the Demon Hawks again.

A will likely have us playing as the Ravens.

If there's even a slight chance to see some society supermechs, I'll take it. Even--especially--if they're the opfor.

Taurus Taurus!

Oh yes

Everything is going the right way. The rest of the clans have declared war on their own, which hopefully stops them from conquering the Inner Sphere, New Syrtis has been annexed, the Vendetta survived. Now if the Capellans collapse the Concordat might conquer a sizeable chunk and achieve great power status!

All we're missing is more Demon Hawks/NRWR action!

... but it's really hard to choose between that and C.

May we know if either A or B are the Demon Hawks? It's the only thing that'd override my vote for C.

No backing down, the Clanners need to be told what time it is.

Also, evolution is a mystery.

Freakazoid_: Jul 5, 2013; Buglord

D, because nuclear hellfire always means chaos.

B is also good if we get the demon hawks again, but PTN is playing coy harder than usual for some reason and it's kind of annoying/getting in the way of an informed vote.

# ? Apr 23, 2017 02:06

RA Rx: Mar 24, 2016

Yeah, this is a dead heat. B is leading C by 1 vote. If the Demon Hawks are confirmed B will win easily.

FACT: if you hit Caesar Steiner so hard his eye pops out of its socket, he just pops it back in like it's no big deal before he beats the hell out of you. Good luck hitting him, though.

But he's a Clanner now, so that means we're the ones getting chumped by Vader. :ohdear:
