Wait - your Clan appear in 3201....how did they missjump?
Only time travell or time and place travell and the creation of a new society some where else -after they are finished they attack - with superjump capability and stealth systems.

hard to say how the IS would look in 3201... i really hope that those Jadechicken will not be able to celebrate a 100 years Operation Revival.

nova cats in 3201 shouldn't be a problem eighter, and Clan Wolf in Excile is more IS rather than Clan.

What would you suggest overall for a Clan with these ideals? I could use input but this Clan started with 120 people, a Cloak Capable Jumpship, and 5 lances of mechs. They are larger now but how would you place them (because they are a Clan that was based around that Stealth ability)? I not trying to be rude at all just really need input cause I am really rusty.

To my reading(and Play testing) there is no Cloaking in AeroTech. Putting that aside, You are not a Clan with a mere 20 Mechs. I'd start off in the Periphery, around Nueva Castile or Jarnfolk. Jarnfolk have a better rep as far as fighting skills go. Get a power base, some industry, and take your time growing. If WoB can do it so should you be able.

Or you could go the Clan Wolverine route instead, as they were known to have questioned the will of Kerensky.

The essence of any fanfiction should be to make the reader believe what you are trying to portray. Using silly concepts such as 'cloaked Jumpships that can make farther than normal jumps' is ridiculous. All your story is coming across as is just someone who really, really, really, wants to make their own special snowflake clan come out of no-where and the only way to accomplish that is to create grandiose leaps and bounds out of canon to do it.

There is only a single instance of 'superjump' technology and that was not made until around the Jihad era (~3067-ish). There is no 'cloaking' technology as far as Interstellar ships are concerned. The only true cloaking is the Void Signature System, used in the Raptor II. Again, a Jihad era technology.

Regardless, you need to extensively rethink your years and take a generous reading of the entire battletech lore timeline. But if you take the Fanon route, then none of this matters. However this thread would need to be moved out of the Clans section.

Also, WoB means Word of Blake, you disgusting amalgamation of DNA.

Speak of the Master and he shall appear...

Okay, so out skirt worlds would be best. The Cloak was experimental and after they vanished Wolf thought it failed when in fact it was very successful. http://mwomercs.com/...87#entry2935187 Here's an Origins and Ecknoshta stuff. The Clan lands in the Periphery and takes a world. After that 11 go in stasis and the others procreate with what resources they have captured.

what does WoB mean?

You will have a hard time, getting around using tech that was not in the universe. You should have been there when CatLab(?) introduced a Jumpdrive that had double capacity! Yup 60 light years instead of 30! The outrage was epic!

Woah woah woah...

Slow down! There hasn't even been a formal batchall yet!

PLEASE USE THE PROPER SYNTAX WHEN CHALLENGING OTHER MECHWARRIORS.

This is either a trial of grievance, refusal, or annihilation, but nobody touches anyone until a proper batchall.

Marack Drock, on 20 November 2013 - 02:46 PM, said:

What do you Bargin?

Actually i had not challenged anyone (yet), rather making an example.

I neither see nothing that can be just Refused nor i can start a Trial of Annihilation by miself. Only one is left..
Well, i am usually one who loves to use the correct words for Clan rituals and i often search them in the novels. I do not remember atm where i could find a formal declaration of a Trial of Grievance (found only kind of "I challenge you to a duel").
So i will try to catch the spirit of the words rather than the word themselves. Btw, the Wolf Clan is know for their distaste for formalities which annoys so much the Falcons, quiaff?

So i, MechWarrior CyclonerM, previously Bondsman of Clan Wolf, have earned my rights and privilege as a warrior, defeating a warrior in honorable combat. I have also defeated an experienced warrior answering his open challenge in honorable duels. Every child of Kerensky in these forums knows my standing here and my rights: so i hereby challenge you, Marack Drock of Clan Blood Scorpion, to a Trial of Grievance for your direct crusade against my Clan. I will show how you are wrong in your disrispect of our view about the will of Kerensky. As the challenged, you have the right to choose how you wish to fight and which class of BattleMechs you want to fight in. I will choose the place of the Circle of Equals once we have dropped in a map. This will be done according to the way of the Clans as laid down by the Founder Nicholas Kerensky. In this solemn matter, let no one interfere.
What is your bid?

EDIT: i see you are online, i can fight right now if you are quick enough (i will have to go soon)

What is your timezone? Mine is GMT+1.

mine is EST. And the 6:00 may change depending on when my brother returns. I have no clue when he will be back my bro said around dinner but I have no idea for sure. I am not trying to back out of the trial I am just crunched at the moment.

No problem, you may want to postpone it to 4 pm GMT+1? Should be around 21:00-22:00 in your timezone.
Oh, and mediums are perfect.

Well at least the Nova Cats won't bother us. As for the others: We will wait until the Wars of Reaving and then

Cloud Cobra
Wolf (Rebuilding forces)
Jade Falcon (almost destroyed)
Diamond Shark
Goliath Scorpion
Star Adder
Stone Lion
Wolf in Exile (Smaller and not near the threat)
Coyote
Hell's Horses (which will be almost gone)
These will be the only rivals. Oh and for all you Wolves out there as I did state the Scorpions do not seek to conquer but to enlighten. The Inner Sphere on the other hand must be taught a lesson. Also I may add that you Wolves did take place in the Clan Wars and Vlad did threaten Victor with restarting them (very honorable in our standards and we respect Ward but we will not stand with Kerensky).

Well I have read the Era Report: 3145 and I can tell you that you don't need to worry about the Wolf in Exiles...since they pretty much assimilated themselves into the Steiner way of life.

Marack Drock, on 20 November 2013 - 07:09 PM, said:

Well as I said we have no quarrel with the Wolves (at the moment though our goal is to enlighten the Wardens and Crusaders starting with our gene ancestors). The Nova Cats are in deep respect of us and as that is the case we will not embark on unsettling our Clan kin even though their vision is wrong. The Clans must know that Kerensky promised us something that was never his to give. He led us to believe that Terra is ours even though we have no claim to it. The Inner Sphere are the owners now and as that is the case no one can take Terra without breaking a Warden's code of Honor. We respect Kerensky but we will not let our thoughts and views be guided by him.

Of course the Nova Cats wont be a problem. They dead. The Draconis Combine went on an annihalation of all Nova Cats in 3143.

Good thing you will be playing only in 150 years. See you there.

[DerangedShadow]

Thought this map would you help you out to know the state of the Inner Sphere at the farthest point in time so far.

No problem Marack. Love to help out, love the whole concept of the lore in this game and if you cant get yours to fit even the better.

Oh yes...Also forgot that there is no more Clan Goliath Scorpion. They changed to the Escorpion del Imperio when they merged with the http://www.sarna.net...ayyad_Caliphate and the http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Nueva_Castile

I wouldn't think the Combine could match the Cats Naval might... 7 Aegis is a extremely powerful force.

What happened with the Cats is that they rebelled against the Coordinator with the hope of gaining territory for themselves under their own flag by following the "rightful" leader. They failed because they were unable to match the might of the Dragon, who basically ignored Devlin Stone and was conitnually building up a force. The only Cats left are dubbed the Spirit Cats, who do not see themselves as Nova Cats, and are off with the Sea Foxes holding a few planets in the Marik zone.

The reason they merged with the periphery nations is that they wanted to survive the Reaving War that was going on in the Clan Homeworlds. They were a weak clan compared to the others and saw how it worked for the Ghost Bears so they wanted to emulate them, just like what the Snow Ravens did with the Outworlds Alliance to create the Raven Alliance. This move into the Periphery came after they merged with the remnants of the Ice Hellions.

I remember some months ago there was another made up clan recruiting on here..they were called clan snow something… snow foxes or wolves ehh i can't remember..
