I am little more than a slave to canon and even I think this is a bad opinion.

It's more the point that the NRWR are not exactly being shown to have a lot of disadvantages from a player standpoint outside of an apparently pending heel turn. Combined with the fact that WOB (and thus NRWR) had some things canonly that...well, stretch the boundaries of what is possible kind of out of nowhere.

PTN can do more interesting things with these things than canon, and has been, of course. But that doesn't make some pieces of tech something to not shake your head at.

P.S. it's probably worth noting somewhere in here that what the NRWR's master plan here is, is real close to what WOB wanted to do before the second Star League broke up. WOB was maybe a little more genocidey, although they never quite got to do it. And of course there's the obvious Minnesota Tribe connection here too which is a good part of the similarity.

So, you know. Food for thought for everyone.

You talk about taking a shitload of weapons to launch a crusade to cleanse the taint of the Clans from history is a bad thing or something.

So here's an incentive for any old-timers who haven't voted.

A wins, I bring back Madden. For a scenario on the world where it was conceived. Word as bond. I can't promise it will be great but I will promise to do it for the entire scenario. [Offer only good for first scenario if there are multiple missions.]

B wins, no Madden.

Which is why they're going with mech and toads. Little Amaris even explicitly agreed with you that they shouldn't just nuke the planets.

I'm kinda amused by all these 'gently caress the clans' B votes that don't seem to realize that Amaris is sending a clan to fight for him. If you really want to say 'gently caress the clans', you vote A and let the IS beat them.

They're an IS clan so it counts.

Edit: Though A is ahead by several votes anyway.

Not to mention they're not the descendants of warriors, they're what few noncombatants made it out. That they have this mock warrior styling but they never really did things the clan way even 200 years ago.

Sending Clanners to kill Clanners is a win-win. The best way to really rack up casualty numbers is to count the dead on both sides, like in the Civil War. People from the Inner Sphere, they have value. Dying in combat is all Clanners are good for.

Would you be equally "just a joke" about someone going "Jihad against the clans! ALLAH AKBAR!" ?
(I am aware that "Inshallah" would be a bit more accurate)
