Hello fellow Mechwarriors, I wanted to drop this quote that I found after reading through Wolves on the Border. The question is, will anyone be able to join the ranks of Morgan Kell, Patrick Kell, and Yorinaga Kurita through the "Phantom mech" ability?

Or will you be so good to achieve Mugu that the mech becomes one with it's pilot?
Notable Examples: Jamie Wolf, Kai Allard-Liao, Minobu Tetsuhara.

"In the old days, a samurai's sword was his soul. It was part of him, a channel through which his ki could flow. Today, the samurai of House Kurita carry the swords as symbols only. The Battlemech takes the place of the samurai's sword as the channel for a warrior's ki. A mechwarrior enters his 'Mech and almost literally becomes one with it. It is a symbiosis that an ancient samurai could never achieve with his sword."

"The type of machine does not really matter. What really matters is the warrior who pilots the Battlemech. The warrior's spirit is the real strength, not the technology."

-Minobu Tetsuhara
Wolves on the Border.


Do YOU have what it takes?

If World of Tanks is anything to go by, no.

Going by my stats, I am a Jack of all Trades, master of none. I may pull off spectacular moves in one of my favourite vehicles, but it's not because of sheer skill, but rather improvisation, and stringing together events that are only possible due to forces out of my control.


EDIT: TL;DR - I am not worthy.

I read this thread to find out what a mugu is, and now I know why Cappies and Dragons always get their butts kicked.
To much hocus pocus, not enough focus focus. Feel free to become one with my PPC as it slags your cockpit.

I think you have to be a Kell, or at least engage in a death duel with a Kell first.

I don't need any of that. I'm a kickass MechWarrior without all the mumbo-jumbo.


BY THE WAY, why do these forums offer the option to like my own posts? Of COURSE i like my own posts! I'm ******* hilarious!

And sexy.
