So under your logic... you did the same thing, by giving something to get an agreement to do certain actions. Wouldn't that also make you an equal idiot?

actually, being cooler in every way, i am the bigger idiot. *draws katana and hits the mirror in my bathroom accidentally* tsuki no yi agake

I would have really liked to join Kurita or stay in FRR. Sadly, the FRR has mostly given up by now, after initial successes to retake their planets. The reason we didn't get a majority vote to join Kurita is displayed in this thread.
I love these wannabe goons. Good target practice.

If you think the NKVA don't revel in their idiocy I have some sad news, friend...

Wow. Welcome to the wonderful world of political graft and soft money donations.

Well played 228 and Smoke Jaguars. Thank you OP for providing a glimpse into the new MWO reality of CW and an education on how the real world power brokers and political influence works.

Wow , there is a lot of butt hurt Kurita here.

Here is a point to understand . Merc's need to be able to be hired. Brings concept to this game. Yes the coffer do nothing for the moment. However,they will . So , and I agree , for one person to spend instead of a House / Clan coffer, is silly.But If an individual wishes to spend said amount of C-bills to aquire help from any unit, That is the choice of that individual. To be butt hurt about it is also silly. So get over it you big babies and go play the end game material and help out!!!

<------- This Icon is what happens when as an Individual Gamer, you make good on Contractual Performance-based Remuneration to a Unit (VRGD) that has served with distinction (5-planets tagged, 4-Battle Honors earned for a total additional Bonus of 45m C-bills)

My penalty time as a Son of Rasalhague is 24-hours... which may just see me a TEMPCON member of the first faction to lose all its planets to the righteous fury of the Clan effort to free all of humanity from the scourge of Inner Sphere Successor States, who's various governance bodies are dead set on Humanity's eternal participation in Succession Wars. Succession Wars that will eventually drive Mankind down past the point of a survivable Dark Age.

Allow me to share with you the intended PowerPoint slides for the abortive Clan Grand Kurultai to recognize an ilKhan and ilClan:

The fact that this exists is really, really funny

[Vlad Ward]

Not to rain on anyone's RP parade, but you know it's extremely easy to just have a few people in your unit make a smurf account, add it to your unit roster, donate the entire Cadet bonus, and rinse/repeat for infinite coffer c-bills, right?

Just throwing it out there.

When you start with 1b C-bills (earned predominately while achieving Rank 20 in CW) spending some here in BETA will help me better submit Feature Suggestions to PGI so that I at least have provided input to the "Launch" version of MWT:CW.

Here is my keepsake and chip in tomorrow's round of Power Broker machination in MWT:CW:

[Summon3r]

So is this you saying it was you who was dumb enough to pay 100+ million cbills for 228?

You mean like it should be and as per the expected future MRBC process?

Means that as a MERC unit 228 now have more money as a unit to change factions more rapidly. Oh the irony.

Why would we break our contract with people? We can't pay them a few million C-Bills (like the PGI NPC) to magically forget about it. If we're hired on an explicit contract with people, we'll follow the terms of that agreement - otherwise we'd have no legs to stand on for the next contract.

I didn't say you would have to break your current contract did I?

But given the limited use of unit funds it does allow you in the future to use those C-bills to pay for early changes in factional allegiances should you wish to.

[Mordin Ashe]

Hey, would I have the contacts with enough quality Merc companies to pay them to stick with CGB for 2 weeks and win Terra I would do that. From certain ammount of c-bills you will start looking for meaningful investments because Mechs and modules clearly won't help you from them.

If someone is ready to spend his own c-bills to help his whole faction, who am I to judge? I support this.

[Der Hesse]

So funny that Clans hire mercs for their crusade. ^^

[hopterque]

It turns out that the technological and tactical advantage in the canon was actually a numerical advantage, both in terms of actual personnel and how many mercenary units they could afford to hire, who knew.

But some never give up, shame we are hanging out here longer than many loyalists....

Real mercing is great for RP, just slightly disappointed that you didn't negotiate for a bunch of small gift packages to spread amongst the troops. That would be some real contract negotiation. Work for X length of time, Urbies will be delivered as compensation.
