I... can't tell if you are trolling...

Not trolling, just defending my position when. In order to talk lore, you have to be on the same page for the year. Because i could argue stuff from 3178 when Davion is in decline, Liao is at War with the Republic of the Sphere, St. Ives is a distant memory, there is no Taurian Concodant or Magistry of Canopus; The FWL is small star Empires that no longer defend have a central control. Clan Nova Cat and Kurita are 1, FFR and Ghost Bear are 1, ect. So keeping arguements in the same year on a fictional timeline is important for the validation of the arguement. I do my best not to attack the person but the arguement in the forums.

Honestly, this kind of Rivalry is fun. Now if we can get everyone who is in a unit to have that unit name in their Signature... it could be epic rivalries.

St Ives Compact is to the Capellan Confederation like Taiwan is to China.

[Alexander Steel]

It has nothing to do with being on the same page. The fact is that the FRR was recognized by the rest of the IS as being a full fledged nation in 3050 because in 3057 after they had lost most of their land they were STILL considered a full fledged nation. From their founding they had full access to the Merc Stars to hire units and the like. The fact that The FedCom + Dracs + FRR Itself were all part of their creation means roughly 75% of the IS population was already behind them being a nation.

Would really love to see lots more factions... as many periphery states as possible. Maybe Oberon would be fighting for clans but with IS mechs =]

[Fat Jack Murphy]

discussion would not matter anyway - st. ives has so few planets, look at the map, they are all already liberated by the fed com machine.


(edit) but: i, too, would love to have deep periphery states and pirates like those infamous belt rippers of butt behold. i just joined the steiner draft because there was no piracy around. who needs planetary invasions, when we can bag their supplies and make off with it in the whole confusion ? it wont even pay off well to get the stomptrain... thats no job for someone who only has 3 lowcosts and a trenchbucket/treebutcher.

yer supply train was hit by the pirate train, nananananana *makes a nose*

Yeah, no. I'm thinking the Clans aren't going to let the Oberonians fight anyone beyond maybe letting them act as planetary garrisons at most. Remember, the Clans have little regard for mercenaries, and pirates are below even mercs in their eyes.

If we had the Saint Ives compact, we'd need about a dozen other nation-planets with their own little factions, as well as hundreds of little nation planets off to the upper left of the Inner Sphere map.

We'd also need an army of ponies, and bird aliens with spears that can drive battlemechs.
Because I kid you not, BOTH are in Battletech if you dig into obscure enough references. (Admittedly said ponies are being ridden by Calvary men with laser guns and auto rifles).

I demand recognition for the Marian Hegemony!
(They do have more planets than the St Ives Compact, after all)

I demand to see the pilots from the Magistry of Canopus! ((They have more planets, and most of their pilots are hot women pilots.))

You have an army of noble BirdWarriors.

I suppose Goons do count.

All hail the mighty squawk!

[Abivard]

I propose making Davion, Liao and Marik NPC factions.

Those 3 are just side shows to the major story of the Clan invasions.

Why do we need more then the 4 clans and the 3 IS clan border factions of Steiner, Kurita and the FRR?

If some one wants to RP something else, let them do it in the public games or on the forums.

[StillRadioactive]

BITTER ROLEPLAY FACE!

Seriously though, FRR just got a 100% rewards boost. I think you'll do alright now.

The Magistracy of Canopus supports this opinion!

I was kind of wondering that myself: while allied with Davion, the St Ives Compact was a separate entity, at least on the maps I had.



And Davion and Steiner shouldn't be able to attack each other because we're the same nation.

By that logic, Steiner and Kurita should have peace with the FRR because of the Ronin War and the aftermath and the good relations the FRR has with both those major empires.

Put St Ives in the game!!

[GI Journalist]

St. Ives isn't supported as an individual entity in CW. Instead its planets host a proxy war for influence over the people of the Compact, as both House Liao and House Davion each try to bring them over to their way of thinking.

"The proxy war is over" says the planetary governor of St. Ives, seen here with proper Davion haircut holding a press conference outside the new Arby's on Main Street., "We are Davion now !! Liaos go home !":
