See World of Tanks where we are still the top clan in a 15 v 15 game.


Lets stop bringing up World of Tanks, its a lot more entertaining seeing everyone stereotype us into the 'large and unskilled' category so they can at least console themselves with the 'fact' that we can only win because we have more members. Then they can go to sleep at night dreaming of leading lances with their pubbie friends and destroying the goons through their superior gameplay.

If we bring up WOT they might have to come to terms to the fact that we are going to be bigger than they are, better organized than they are, and simply better at the game than they will be, and there is nothing they can do to stop us. I think it's best to just let them have that delusion for another few months, its the kind thing to do.

Strong words from someone that has a lot less experience in MW than others and never actually played the game, nor has any source of info on it. It's a crashtalk right now. B)

Ok sounds like a plan to keep the misinformed ignorant of simple facts.

Beta is about finding bugs, not playing the game. So having access to beta and using it just as a mean of getting skill is not a way to go. B)

Originally, I thought "Nah, some of these non-Goons have been around online gaming since 1996-1997 and must've seen some ****. They can't possibly be dumb enough to feed this thread."

Then I thought, "These are people who consistently get butt-hurt about someone calling themselves Grey Death Legion" or "The REAL House Liao", who lay claim to some sort of name and legacy and heritage in an intellectual property NOT of their own creation, or who claim to be the leader of some such house because they did it in one or two games over ten years ago."

And I knew that many pages of hilarity would ensue from people sperging out, people running their mouth and roleplaying, people would react on hearsay, and that Goons or even random SomethingAwful posters attracted to the forum violence would keep it going. I did not expect thirty-plus pages. Well done, MechWarrior Srs Bznis Ppl.

Not rolling with the MWO Goons, but I did pay 10BUX and I do have stairs in my house. Looking forward to seeing what you can do. Also looking forward to measuring myself against you, again, and then logging into the SA forums to lulz about it.

Why argue? We're all Capellan. More wins for the goons, more wins for the CCAF. We only profit from this arrangement. And if they troll the davions into the ground, all the better.

Man, I am really disappointed after clicking on your link that you're not in the Blank Windows Corp after all. That sounded pretty funny, but your link there is to a pretty Srs Bznis website.

I wanna take this opportunity to state that not only was I playing tabletop before this kid was born, but I was also older back then than he is now.

I've been gaming there for about ten years. Old habits die hard. Didn't realise that being competitive and wanting to win was Srs Bznis. Sorry, I'll try to tone down a little. As for the name, it was chosen without any regard to BattleTech or MechWarrior. In all honesty none of us had any idea about the canon unit. So when the devs announced the no-canon-units rule, we changed it about sixty times until we found something that fits.

Again, looking forward to facing you on the field.

No no, you see, he means Mechwarrior, not battletech. Because obviously skill at games over a decade old will translate perfectly to skill with this game. That or he genuinely means experience with MWO, in which case he's got as much experience as you or I, so his statement is hypocritical.


Oh and obviously no goon has ever played a Mechwarrior game before.

Capellans prefer quality over quantity and skill over brawn. Commanders have a lot of power, so we aren't dependent on the higher ranks.



I would like to know where the Quality and Skill reside in the CC. I have yet to see it in my time ;-)

J/K you Wacky Crazy CC kids :-)
