This "freebirth", as you deem him, pays more respect to Clan ideology than you have even bothered to mention. You pride yourself on being a truebirth when your only sense of honor is the big shiny machine you get to play with.

If you were Phelan Kell there could be some value in your claims. However, this is not the case quiaff?

See...this is why people hate us. No respect for the culture, ideals, history, etc. Just a list of badass mechs is the only justification you can give for fighting for the honor of [insert Clan here].

Makes everyone else think you only like the higher tech...which is true in your case.

No mention of the Remembrance, The Exodus, Zellbrigen, Bloodnames, the Golden Years, Nicholas Kerensky, Alexander Kerenksy's vision, the hardship the Clans endured to escape the horrors of war....

Just mechs...

You are first up for a Trial of Annihilation when this game launches

I don't think anyone is taking this thread seriously... in fact, the very first opening post states:

This is just for fun, so try not to go over the edge and get all mad and everything. ENJOY!

Hell, I'm the biggest RP/Lore/Story nerd (and Warden Clan Supporter) you'll find, and my post was basically LOL-ERPPC.

No need to be mad, mate.

Or, you know...

I think he is in character and my responses to him are in kind...so we're still having fun. No worries.

Ah, okay. I would just hate for folks to take a humor thread as representative of Clan player thinking.
That would make me sad - even if I could only use IS tech, I'd still be a member of a Warden Clan.

10- Vice is nice, but incest is best. Not only are our siblings fit, but we can sleep with them without feeling guilty and judged.
9- Superior weapons and armor.
8- OmniMechs. Modularity is the key to a long service life for any weapon platform.
7- When we succeed, the Clan succeeds. Through the Clan, we shall live forever.
6- We do not let idiots breed. Well, except for the Falcons and Jaguars, but nobody's perfect.
5- We have the best combat medicine in the known universe. Even the most grievously wounded warrior can be restored to full functionality.
4- When we dislike someone, we politely ask to murder them in a ritual duel. If we fail, we fail. If we succeed, we succeed. All is forgiven in victory and defeat.
3- We are the children of Aleksandr Kerensky, one of the greatest men of all history; We carry his legacy and his honor as our fathers did before us.
2- We did not nuke and pave our way back to the Stone Age, nor did we enable those who did.
1- We do not care if you are gay, straight, bi, or transgendered. We do not care if you are black, hispanic, asian, indian, Pacific islander, Amerindian, white, or anything else. We do not care what you call God or if you even worship at all. You can say whatever you like about whoever you like, from the Khan down to the lowest Laborer. What we care for is victory, for success.

Nothing is worth degrading ones self by being clan

truer words have never been spoken. The clans are not the end all be all, the Inner Sphere stopped them numerous times once they knew what was happening. Then again when they went after Clan Smoke Jaguar. Yes their tech hit harder and farther then IS, but they also run hotter and will be harder to come by and therefore cost a metric arse ton. Inner Sphere is the way to go. Remember, they STILL use IS deaigns. Highlander, Rifleman, Warhammer, and many more. Even they know that IS tech is great.

[Vanguard319]

This clansman adheres to the Aidan Pryde school of battle tactics: I do not expect stravag Inner Sphere surats to honor zellbrigen, and thus have no problem burning them down in an honorless death like I would bandit scum. To the few that show a degree of honor, I would claim as isorla, assuming they survived my onslaught, and assuming I were defeated by such, I would be honored to be claimed as a bondsman.

Unfortunately there's a few uptight people that scare away everyone else.

10. We have cats...and they are MAD !
9. We have dogs to, also mad
8. All our names have animals in them. Cool animal.
7. We have Omnimechs, which is like mechs but cooler
6. We invaded the IS just for the Lulz
5. We live and die for a cause : the Clan !
4. ????
3. Profit
2. We have honor, not like those Kurita pigs, real honor.
1. WINCEST ! \o/

Your mother never loved you, so RPing a vat born moron comes naturally to you.

Get serious, only 2 reasons to play clan.

1: You have some sort of adolescent fixation on their honor based warrior "culture". (Culture is in quotes because their culture has about as much depth as a Saharan lake, and is one of the worst things to be rammed into battletech in the hopes that it would sell books.)

2: You want to have super-powered mechs and guns so you can bully around people who don't have them.

Surely House Liao isn't as bad as all that! But this is about the Clans, not the People's Republic of Space Soviets, stay focused.
