Charge it or push it and knock it down and then the hatch pops and a few steaming Astech bones tumble out.

Pretty sure it's up to the actual players of the match whether they want to be done. I wouldn't blame anyone who has waited for years for their turn, to want another round or two, even if it risks turning a modest victory into a defeat.

As someone waiting for their second turn, I would blame them.

I blame all of you both individually and combined.

You naive children, letting the rest of the Inner Sphere know isn't going to unite the Inner Sphere against the clans, it's going to cause the complete destruction of the Lyran Commonwealth as the opportunistic villains that always made up the Inner Sphere spend that time figuring out the best way to get their chunk while the clans eat the Lyrans.

At least, that's what I hope.

Maybe. But those same people will know that the factions not near the Lyrans would be plotting the same against them, and then they'd have to deal with the Clans anyway. It should server as a wake up call, because they see how bad the other houses have been getting their asses kicked by just small parts of a couple of Clans. If Frederick lays it out there that they're all dead, that should get them to at least wait to back stab him until the Clans are beaten back.

Counterpoint: Everyone hates the Steiners and most Inner Sphere Machievels will think that chewing through Steiner will leave those clans weak, so win-win.

the highest-rated sitcom in Inner Sphere history, The Free Worlds League Nightly News.

It's listed as a drama in the decent half of the League. Maybe you should check NoUTropes next time before you post, noob.

Do you think it would look suspicious if everyone said NO except me?

What I mean is, what's the number of people other than me that can say NO that PTN will believe?

I'm guessing 6 was a declaration to the entire inner sphere that the Lyrans were about to be crushed by the clans, so you might as well carve out as much Lyran territory as you can grab while the getting's good.

Yeah what a great guess after PTN told you I wonder how no one figured this out during the vote oh wait

Yeah, I like House Marik mostly because the whole purple eagle symbol was awesome-looking. Then I found out that no one else really liked them (because everyone else in our gaming store was either in love with Steiners because Big Stompy 'Mechs or Kurita because samurai), so I dug in my heels and liked them more just to be different. That was the sum total of my motivations.

An object lesson in the Marik psychopathy.

My only hope is that it's because they're dropped from space as combat meteoroids.
