You just can't seem to understand our logic.

We hate you because you left us.
You simply packed up and split down and stuck us with the clean-up bill.
We had to reconstruct the HPG's while you left the Inner Sphere.
It was us who watched humanity butcher itself while you lived Kerensky's dream.
We guarded and protected technology while the House Lords killed eachother.
Then you children of Kerensky comeback,intending to subjugate us and show us " the way" .
You left us....you waived any right you had to the Inner Sphere when you left.
I simply don't expect you to understand much
You are a frail afterall,and a deserter to boot

Yeah you'd basically be playing space {Godwin's Law}, there are few differences but the genocide and the death camps are there. You're not going to be popular and I myself would try my best to destroy you when ever I find you in a game.

[John Christopher]

Yeah...Genocide and education camps are bad.


But it forced all you corrupt,self-serving,greedy people together didn't it?
Because you knew of your fate if you didn't set aside your differences.
We did things so horrible that even the Clans joined with the same House Lords that 10-15 years prior they were trying to destroy.

I know your logic. You people wanted to unite the Inner Sphere and that is an Honorable goal. But your actions said otherwise. Your actions said- we will kill you all if you don't unite- and that is what the {Godwin's Law} did. If the Allies didn't unite than the {Godwin's Law} would have won.

As said blood because of misunderstanding.

It was exactly one action - one order of one man that caused that bloodshed. If the WoB commanders at the 4.th Whiting Conference would have had a cooler temper - nothing would have happen.
But they hadn't - a single orbital strike - with bad choice of a target - and the full IS did want to see blood.
The Word Of Blake was strong - strong enough to fight the Clans - in total warfare - but they hadn't the logistic nor the troops to to conquer the Inner Sphere
So if you take hostages their mortality will be increased drastically when the police attack less coordinated (CASE White - or the Dragoon Mission against MARS) - or when the police simple set the building you are in at fire.

[Karl Streiger]

Better rulers may have prevented the bloodshed that followed the hubris of one men.
Anyhow - with Davion Steiner influencing at last five or six members of the Star League - there was no way that a diplomatic solution may have been found.
And when somebody accuse you of murder and the only way to keep them from killing you is to kill them faster there is no choice.

The Word didn't bomb anybody when they stabilized the Chaos March - after Davion's breed inability to prevent war. The Dragoons tried the same - so of course they were enemys. Last not least because they were Clan.

Yeah, but they still ended up killing more innocent people than all of the Invading clans combined.

Hm - do you think so?
Not all the bombing and madness and war was the fault of the WoB -Bolan, Skye - invasion of the FWL - the counter offensive
Regulans vs FWL - the War of the Reavings, there was war and bloodshed every where - if there could be a "fault" in WoB that they did open to many "theaters" of war - like {Godwins Law}
What if they would have concentrated on the former FedCom only? There peoples where still shocked and lucky to survive an unnecessary war - that could have been solved much simpler. WoB could have used the loyalists of Kathrine - to deny any "news" from ComStar - about the "bombing of the Tharkad" - call it a ruse - by Victor Davion - they would have believed them.
Call it a action of revenge for the Victor loyalists - and tell them that Victor didn't want to tell the truth to prevent war again.
Collect as many systems as possible (conquer ComStar facility's - and control the news)

When they have the option to fight you - mabye for another 5 years of Total War - or to stand back and accept the aid of WoB to rebuild your destroyed infrastructure - hospitals and "cybernetic" enhancement of the hurt war veterans - they would have accepted it. Maybe they would still call them "Toaster Lovers" but even the staunchest freedom fighters (would accept a short period of peace)
In the same manor WoB may have accepted the Freedom of Skye - rebuild the troops of Free Skye - help to take Hesperus II (of course with 50-50 Skye WoB forces - maybe simple by using the Brewster Legion (former Gray Death))

All that was necessary to became a major player was to pick up the pieces of the Civil War

[John Christopher]

Join Free Worlds League...

I can easily get recognition...i just need a total of 8-10 players to form a unit roster.

Anybody else want to start a Word of Blake faction? Timeline wise, it doesn't work, but hey, what's life in the inner sphere without an order of militant and pseudo-religious crazies?

Actually the WoB is around timeline wise, just not a huge universe changing faction. The Master IS lurking.........

I guess Christopher ran out of arguments. Anyways that just means that the FWL are also murderers. That means that WoB never fulfilled their purpose of uniting the IS... Which means they died in vain.

Most of the FWL were unwitting pawns of the Word of Blake, their leader, Thomas Marik, was an imposter planted by the Word of Blake.

And many of the clans joined the fight against the Word of Blake, even the Jade Falcons.

You could request a Trial of Grievance, although a Clan warrior may find you unworthy.

Don't mind - a welp that called others a murder has a clear misunderstanding of his role - or if he is simple a member of the lower cast.

Who uses nukes anymore? We got a death star...

[Lockon StratosII]

Now that the {Godwin's Law}'s were mentioned I can post this here:



Would be great if they used that as an announcement for WoB. Would get my money for sure

[wanderer]

Of course, the amusing thing is that eventually, the Word wins.

Devlin Stone is a WoB plant, the Whiteout is basically WoB-chaos round two, and the Republic is rapidly turned into an Us vs Them army with new supertech and superior communications by 3145. That some Republic tech is distinctly ancestried from Blakist development is another little clue.

Not to mention a considerable portion of the WoB army simply vanished after the Jihad, hidden who-knows-where and as yet, unrevealed.

An enemy that wins even through loss is the most dangerous enemy of all. Hiding one's true motives in the midst of mass genocide and nuclear fire, only to drive the Inner Sphere into fratricidal fury less than 40 years later while developing an entirely new Terran puppet republic to manipulate? That's evil.

They didn't vanish, they were killed in fighting.

Also where is the part in the books that says "Devlin Stone is a WoB agent."? And finally NO ONE, I repeat NO ONE knows whom destroyed the HPG.

Last MW:DA novel. Devlin Stone was responsible, and it was WoB tech that made it possible.

Quote

Blakists were exterminated at every turn with the only known survivors being captured by ComStar

Actually, multiple WoB units are MIA, having neither been destroyed nor captured. In fact,there's even a list of them in the Battletech sourcebook that wraps up the post-Jihad era. Also note that the WoB controlled entire WORLDS that were not found, even after the end of the war. Plenty of fresh, well indoctrinated meat.

You've got the right idea with Batman villians,but it's not the Joker. It's Ra's Al Ghul.
