Sorry if my using a humorous rhetorical question muddled the conversation, there's really no need to get confrontational there Stiggz. That said, House Davion is the most populous House precisely because the narrative is constantly bent over backwards to make sure they're the heroes whenever they get involved in something and they're hardly at risk of suffering a real defeat. In MPBT, it wasn't House Davion that was constantly short on numbers and always at risk of total annihilation. They're the big fish and everyone else is, playerbase-wise, an underdog compared to them.
Also, I'm not going to apologize about how other Goons have treated you in the past. The SomethingAwful community has over 160,000 registered members and there's little point in bearing the cross of a community that large. That said, consider that you're talking to at least a few Goons who are trying to keep the level of discourse on a casual and, dare I say it, humorously deflating track. Any anecdotal accusations (however true, and let's face it I've seen my fair share of situations where a troll was well deserved) made on the internet are a case of "he said, she said" wherever internet rumors and reputations are concerned, therefore I can only judge one's credibility based on one's own conduct. Now imagine someone without any preconceived notions re: Goons and The People Who Hate Goons, and imagine how your posts might read to this entirely fictional, theoretical person-construct.
So lighten up a little, lay off the bunker mentality, and enjoy talking about a game about giant robots that aren't technically autonomous and therefore not "robots" per se.
A hostile sort of attitude just begs to be tweaked.
EDIT: And possibly noogied.
