AoC's to do list:

• Talk to crazy person about strange hapennings
  
• Kill the crazy person so he can't tell anyone else
  
• Take his stuff, because stuff
  
• Dump the body for old times sake
  
• Go see if there is money to be made in crazy persons story.

Clanners and their space robits stole my hand actuators!!!

On a serious note, where's the Timber Wolf at?

Are you talking about this?

[Citizen Erased]

Cloned space Fascists ! Giant forest wolves ! Damn ! The 31st century's addictive stuffs are pretty damn rough !

HAHAHAHAHA! Wow are we that hard pressed for news? Honestly what next Elvis was seen on Tharkad sipping whiskey with the Archon? Please if there is any merit to this guy's story let Kerensky's ghost come and take me. Things happen in the Periphery, thus why it's the Periphery. Probably just some pirates who have made field repairs to a Catapult or a Marauder.

Dear Editor,
You need a better April Fool story than that if you want to keep your circulation up!

How about the Star League has been in Hiding and the great Kerensky Himself is back to save us all from the greed of comstar and the Houses? I think that would be a great April fools article.

yours,
A Concerned reader.

Brilliant... If we were in universe it would totally seem like a stupid April fools joke... But we know this guy isn't as crazy as he seems

How did he know they were called "forest lupines?"

Clan Pilots tend to introduce themself and declare the machines their lance consists of, after all, a clan pilot wont call his Timber wolf a "mad cat" so, thats why he knows that the mechs are "forest lupines"

Holovid or it didn't happen.

Looks more like a Mad Cat III, the entire thing feels too small for 75 tons and extreme levels of gun. The original Timber Wolf has hexagonal barrels for omni-pods.

Alt.D is a terrible choice to base the entire omni-mech design on, it just looks flimsy.

Well, I'm gonna go out into the forest in my lumbermech, cut down trees and wear wolf pelts.

Make sure you bring plenty of sliver bullets

If the Clanners declared the names of their mechs, why do we even have seperate IS names? I thought the reason was that the IS didnt know what their proper names were so they made up their own names for them.

The proper batchall will be something like "My own 'Mech and a heavy binary." There are variations of these batchalls and the units that went into detail and named the 'Mechs they were going to use were few and far between.

Not sure that less effort could have been put into an April fools joke by PGI.

Let's start a Heatsink discussion about it and maybe PGI will backtrack their design.

Happy April Fools, Everyone!

Because after the clans tossed zellbrigen, due to underhanded tactics of the innersphere forces, since the clans now viewed the innersphere as with out honor they had no reason to announce anything other then the intented prize of the trial of possession, therefore the IS warriors had to come up with names to describe the clan mechs since IS targeting systems couldnt id them... IE why Phelen Kells mech identified a Timber Wolf as a "Mad Cat"
