The Inner Sphere will be an interesting looking place if the Clans thrust towards the NRWR is successful while the Drac Suns push the Clans out of their territory. Crazy lopsided occupation zone.

They're going, and the FWL had a choice about how to respond to their demands a good few political votes back. Whoops. Yeah, that was months ago so I'd just forgotten. I just looked at the map and noted that the battle location was inside FWL territory.

Sure but I didn't think the Wars of Reaving were quite as well known as Operation Bulldog, so I didn't bring it up. Besides, while the Jags deserved what was coming to them, the way the Vipers managed to so cluelessly and perfectly set up their own Trial by Annihilation that it just wasn't quite as applicable.

Because that was hilarious and awesome. Everything about WoR was pretty great. It surprised me how long it took for a society with legalized genocide to descend into witch-hunting. I guess it would have happened sooner if the Wolverines were intermixed with other Clans back in the day but they stuck mostly to themselves.

Voting B, just because I want to see people using more words like "haboob". Edit: I just learned this is an actual word for a dust storm and not something silly made up by clanners  . Vote still stands, though.

Defiance Industries posted:They haven't had a significant loss of territory since 1990. Even the Ghost Bears were originally the derpy, incompetent Clan in the initial invasion. CJF, whenever they take a loss, miraculously does something to recover that has no negative future repercussions. If it's any consolation, when Fortress Republic drops its wall and Clan Wolf starts charging in to take Terra, Malvina is probably going to go balls to the wall crazy and abandon her whole OZ for a shot at Terra. I have a feeling in the Dark Age CJF's days are numbered, and the Lyrans are about to absorb back their whole Occupation Zone.

I'd like to vote for D, even if it stands no chance of winning, since I want to see the continuation of the last campaign. However, I also want to see the Jade Falcons get their poo poo pushed in, and that one actually stands a chance of winning. Whatever, screw it. Voting for Dah dah dah da-da-dah dah, Under Pressure![/Queen].

As fun as continuing the campaign from the last round sounds, how can we possibly pass up the opportunity to take part in one of the most historic and make-or-break campaigns of the thread? We have a chance to destroy the Jade Falcons! This isn't the time for "oh ho hum, that last mission really tuckered us out!" This is time to grab history by the balls and squeeze! B! C's a consequence of Marik deciding not to let the Clans past and attack the Rim Worlds, right? I can't recall the exact details, but I don't remember being in favor of stopping the Clans from wrecking up the Rim. Honestly, the best thing the Knights could do is throw the battle and let the Rim take a pummeling, fighting this battle is exactly what their enemy wants - we're just continuing the poor Free World League's history of lose-lose scenarios. Edit - yeah, just reread that political situation, and holy crap, I'm still really against fighting a batchall. Actually playing it would just drive home the point that it was a terrible idea.

Happily, that can happen in a Political Update, while I vote in pursuit of a rooting interest. ("A" would also have been a fine choice, but it will not win) Not to be tedious, but it'd be a Trial, the batchall is the negotiation of the challenge.

Like how they were going to be vulnerable after pushing the Vipers out, or after purging their Scientist Castle, or when they had a civil war between The Khan and Malvina? I'm skeptical the Falcons will see a reversal.

I'm skeptical the Falcons will see a reversal. The Jade Falcons, with exception to their naval aspects, were pretty weak following their (3136-3137) Civil War. Problem was that House Steiner wasn't in a position to take advantage of it because they were invading the FWL. I can't speak to the Viper expulsion, since that was before my BT time, but the purging of the Scientist Caste was an event that happened after a timejump already confirmed the Jade Falcons were still around and kicking.

KnoxZone posted:Kurita and Steiner have already been steamrolled pretty bad in this universe. Also if you are voting against those three that probably means you are pro-clan, and we don't like your type around here. Hey man, I am all for the Inner Sphere continuing to exist! Well, under clan rule, sure, but they'd exist! And after seeing the Battletech cartoon, some twisted part of me wants those cartoony villains to rule the Inner Sphere for the sheer hilarity of it all. Besides, there are other nations that could rule the IS if Davion, Kurita and so on weren't around.
