I for one think that such a creation would be therapeutic and inspirational. And the added benefit of further enraging the Capellans? Priceless.

How often does a Liao idea get the support of an unironic Davion? Truly, this idea brings the entire sphere together.

This is one of the best ideas ever posted on an internet forum.

I want this. I want this more than anything I've ever wanted. This is more than I could possibly gain from Mech Warrior. What sounded like a simple concept, "bobble head's for your cockpit!" has become so much more than I could fathom. This bobble head, is a must. A necessity that goes beyond the ability to pay for this game, beyond having minimum specs, beyond everything. It takes a meaning all of its own. There, in my sight would stand a Tetatae; it's head forever shaking in disapproval. The only sound it makes is a faint sqwak for every shot you fire that hits. But once you think you no longer need its gaze you demise is ensured. As your mech over heats and explodes the only noise during your highest point of shame that you can hear is the laughter from this bobble head, for it alone will know your worth, your skill and above all, your dedication.

... We will gladly accept funding through our BidBatchall account, at tiarasohkerenskyilovetiaras@wolfnet.net.wc

We can assure you that your trinket will be shipped as soon as feasibly possible. This is most assuredly not a scam. Claiming such nonsense will see us in a Trial of Libel. In which it is required that I... excuse me, I have the memo here... ahem, 'bid my fists, and permit you to ignite any forests, refineries and amusement parks to be used as our arena.'

I look forward to receiving your C-Bills. For a legitimate reason. That is again, not a scam.

I cannot understand why anyone would vote no on this poll. As a result I suggest that the no option be removed.

Vote bobblehead!

If we had 3 "yes" options and checkboxes, then we would have 1100 squawking votes by now.

Only if you can tell me what an 'alot' is. I've always wanted to know.

The Alot is an imaginary creature that was made up to help deal with the compulsive need to correct other people's grammar. It kind of looks like a cross between a bear, a yak and a pug, and it has provided hours of entertainment for in a situation where it would normally be left feeling angry and disillusioned with the world.

Garth, clearly this thread can show the designers that the people in this database really want Battletech to be readily available in this game. In course of this, may I suggest that you throw other Cannon Battletech classics in this game. I will congratulate you on making the Highlander a Cannon mech with the speakers on it. You said yourself in the podcast that it was selling great. So why not keep giving the die hard fans of this game a bit more of the classic touch with things such as tetatae bobble-heads.

I also do enjoy listening to you on the podcast, it really helps getting a developers perspective on why a choice was made for a gaming design and the like.

I voted No because the Tetatae are not known to the people of the IS. Everyone that has seen them is stuck out there with no way back. They are very far out and have only been found by ships that had malfunctions and ended up way out in the unknown universe to never return. Now from IGP's standpoint they would make money as all the WOL people would buy 1.

Yeah, even if I didn't WANT to buy one for each mech, I would the next time I had a couple drinks. And I would talk to them.
