I'd probably choose CGB. With that said, we'll still continue to fight CGB, hand, tooth, and mech.

Ghost Bear.

Because of all the clans, they have the best mechs, the best color scheme, and are the only sane ones in the bunch. :)

That and because...

If I had to choose then of the four we have - jade falcon.

Otherwise steel vipers because of the goshawk.

Until I am forced to choose however I will defend the inner sphere with all I have.

It's funny, I'm reading some of the antt-clan sentiment stuff and a lot of it is highly misplaced. Especially by those talking about the caste system. Is it rigid among the clans in general? Not really. I mean sure you had some super rigid clans, Smoke Jaguar among the worst as far as I understand, but others were vastly more flexible. Star Adders for example maintain the caste system but treats everyone equally, even the unblooded, freeborn, bondsmen etc. They even have Adjutants that speak for assorted partiesand more or less treat everyone in the clan like one big family. They also happen to use intelligence units, which is unusual for a clan in general.

They aren't alone in that either. A lot of the Warden clans have varying degrees of give in their ways. Wolf in Exile for example (And really Wolf before the split) allowed an IS Freebirth Bondsman to not only compete for a blood name but move up to become their Khan. Something I'm fairly certain quite a few of the other clans would never consider tolerating.

Then there's Diamond shark. The top of the totem pole in their clan, unlike the vast majority of the others, isn't the warrior castes but rather the merchants.

Are some of the clans dark and opressive? Hell yes. But no more so than the Inner Sphere so many of you seem to love so much. House Kurita is the best example by far. Hell they were so set in their ways they made even the Clans stop and wonder in a few cases (Especially with how they had a habit of fighting to the death of the very last man). And let's not forget how Kurita treats people in general. I mean hell one good quote off of Sarna really sums it up:

On September 9 2796, Coordinator Jinjiro Kurita, consumed with bloodlust, ordered his troops to slaughter the citizens of Kentares IV to the last man

Clan Wolverine, Clan Wolf-In-Exile, Clan Ghost Bear, Clan Wolf... In that order if I had to pick.

An event which led to nearly all those involved taking their own lives to restore their honor. Their loyalty to the Coordinator prevented them from disobeying him, but it had it's own toll on the forces involved.

Jags/Wolves - creators of my belowed Dire Wolf - crusading part of the clan wolf, taking in mind that jags were annihilated by IS (muhahahaha - defeated by inferior IS tech).

Direwolf = op
Timberwolf = op.

the chain favors wolf, so probably clan Wolf would be the best decision.

DW isnt op, can be solo killed by good Atlas build (on close combat, I am not able to fit Atlas for long range combat). Also with AMS it lacks the firepower, without it every lrm launcher hurts...

Also I am curious what will devs do with people who bought smoke jags...I mean....they all should vanish in the future... . With some info, Id go for them, since they have nice camo (and brutaly awfull sign).

AHAHAHAAHA, no it can't 2 alphas and your atlas is done, if the DW pilot has skill a properloadout and knows what he is doing. simply look at the tournament scores. They show quite accurately what top pilots can perform with these mechs.

Star Adder. They're the most sensible of the bunch, and they play proper football. Some people - ignorant, sad people - call it soccer.

EDIT - Oh, and we have the best mechs and best weapons, if you want to get into that.

Blood Asp? Check!
Heavy Lasers? Check!
Only Clan other than the Jade Falcons to win during the Trial of Refusal? Check!
Not giant douchebags like Jade Falcon? Check!
Not one of the Big 4 that everyone and their dog chooses? Check!



I like the way this guy thinks.....

CSA all the way!
