Quick question. Can anyone direct me to a thread where you can see the overall gains/losses in numbers? Has anyone done something like that?

And as always...keep up the good work.

Special update: a "thirty days overview" of the Clan Invasion.

I have prepared a low version (viewable, 3,7 mb) and a high quality version (hidden, 8,1 mb).

Low version

Sorry for the different qualities of the map, I made the screenshots on different computers.

Good God... Please... Enough of using those betty voice systems. :angry:. I rather hear a real voice actress reporting than what ive been hearing on audio. Even this YouTube news was worse. it cant pronounce things right.

Thanks for this great addition. I edited my first post and put in links to Tennex' time lapse and Hann Solo's IS news channel. Great work and it's nice to see that the information war increases every week.

I decided to quit the front news because of the new patch. It's impossible to give you the news without any lack of information.
The new patch was necessary and an improvement to the gameplay but also a death sentence for this kind of news.

Feel free to use this thread to post your own news and to collect links of other information threads (I will always try to update my first post to link the best information threads of this forum).

I will also try to make random news (maybe a long term animation of the CW). The most important task of this thread was the idea that we need something like "propaganda threads", "information warfare" and "news". And the community created a lot of these threads, blogs, programms and other stuff.

Thanks for reading this thread for forty days now. It was fun to make this thread and thank you all for your participation and dedication to make this thread better.

I know what you mean Catalina. The new patch has made the MWO news gig a lot tougher.

There is a great reddit post created by a Bot these days that goes out every day by ComstarBattleReports. Latest one can be found HERE

For the Comstar Chronicle, I am only updating the time-lapse map once a day but I've added a Clan Invasion Daily Report to the CC as well as posting it on the MWO forums HERE

Not as comprehensive as your reports, they just focus on the Clan front, but hopefully it will be enough to satisfy our fellow MWO pilots.

Thanks Catalina, you did some great work and it was always fun to read your news.

Thanks Catalina for your efforts! :-) Really enjoyed this, but completely understand how three changes of the fronts per day can be tough to keep up on! I admit I have not been following any of the other "broadcasters", so I will start checking some of them out. Since I usually do my "update" checks using my mobile phone, is there any particular one that stands out as being better for that device?

The dragons should be throwing money at mercs with shovel they need a lot of help. Best case the mercs make a lot of money worst care the population eats rice for a decade.

Seriously there is no hope for Draconis Combine right now. Soon to be renamed slaves of the Clans.

---BREAKING NEWS---

The Conference of Wazan

The sheer speed and success of the Clan invasion has caught everyone by surprise. The FRR is facing extinction. Both the Draconis Combine and Lyran Commonwealth are suffering huge losses. To counter this existential threat delegates from House Loyalist Units and Loyalist Mercs gathered on Wazan. For the first time in centuries the dream of a new Star League was alive among all citizens of the Inner Sphere as the delegates ratified the creation of the new body. It is hoped that a new spirit of cooperation will lead to better quality battles across the Inner Sphere and Clan borders.

Notably absent from the proceedings at Wazan was the influential galactic powerbroker MercStar. The Mercenary Star Coalition is an alliance of highly skilled merc units which has so far led a controversial policy of supporting both Clan and IS factions. Amid accusations and counteraccusations a breakdown in talks between the budding coalition and MS is potentially setting the stage for future battles to come.

I think that they are missing a trick on CW for community involvement and creating a narrative for the game. I think what they should do is have a ticker type feed (or a twitter feed) stating what planets have been lost. The site should also have a potted history of each of the factionThen they could ask players to submit their reports from the field in sort of a journalistic stlye (or make up stories regarding the fighting or political events.links to videos could be used as part of the reporting.I was thinking about CW and wondered if there was a news site that gave reports on what was going on.

Anyway something to set it up in the style of this is a news site reporting on what is happening and giving a natrative to it. I am sure the battletech universe has all of these sort of things in a timeline somewhere.

It would provide a place for infomation to new players and a flavour of the universe and provide an outlet for players and units to post stuff and get noticed.
