The Clans are more likely to murder their own citizens for no real reason.

uh oh, Sin got started again... and again I'll say:
1. Clan don't exist yet, quit taking an RP stance against something that is outside your IC knowledge

Of course they exist, the Clans were founded long before the invasion you NIMWIT.

2. If you OOCly have something against the clans you really need to take a step back and reconsider your life choices, this is a game, not a political forum, neither the clans or IS will likely ever have a significant impact on the real world, try and keep that in mind in the future.

Well, I hate dubstep and cloning is a crime against both nature and science as it hinders evolution, anyone who wants to roleplay such SCUM doesn't belong here. Of course, you're probably not even of Scandinavian heritage, you don't really belong here either you filthy Marik spy.

Damion Sparhawk, on 09 August 2012 - 10:03 AM, said:

3. Skjaldborg has no official stance one way or the other about the clans (yet) because THEY DON'T EXIST.

No, the Skjaldborg doesn't have an 'official stance' because every last one of you are TRAITORS to the the people of Rasalhague and the republic itself.

Damion Sparhawk, on 09 August 2012 - 10:03 AM, said:

4. The Skjaldborg recognizes that this is a game, people want to be in the clans, and as yet, they can't, since they can't be in the faction they choose to be in at the moment we do not choose to OOCly persecute those who admittedly or otherwise will choose to join the clans in the future when they become a presence in the IC world and welcome those who, temporarily, choose to ally themselves with the FRR come what may. Knowing that, regardless of the future IT'S JUST A GAME.

Solution: Lone Wolf/Mercenary options! Wow that was hard.

Damion Sparhawk, on 09 August 2012 - 10:03 AM, said:

5. It's also possible many, having had glorious battles with the Republic and Skjaldborg may choose to remain with the IS when the clans do come around and your ignoble self righteousness is certainly not going to help change their minds.

So now the Skjaldborg is a seperate entity from the republic too? You must be aching to get started with your trials of position, traitor.

6. love how you conveniently forget centuries of oppression within the combine, glorifying them as saviors when we fought tooth and nail for our freedom until we forced them to let us go, the compromise was letting them keep their face intact by saying they gave us our freedom. Try actually reading the history for once instead of arguing the future.

The Combine yielded, and are no longer our oppressors. What more could you possibly want? I bet you're the kind of racist who would try to kill innocent civilians just because they are of Kuritan heritage, just like the Clans massacre their own working classes. This kind of view could have worked during the early half of the 20th century, but not today.

Damion Sparhawk, on 09 August 2012 - 10:03 AM, said:

7. In my experience with the Skjaldborg should some hostile force approach from the depths of space trying to claim our hard earned territories I expect we shall fight tooth and nail for every scrap of land just as we fight for every right to remain a Free Rasalhague Republic.

Yet you defend the right of these invaders to remain in our ranks until the time is right for them to turn right around and BETRAY everything we stand for. I wouldn't put my trust in anyone who puts faith in the enemy.

Damion Sparhawk, on 09 August 2012 - 10:03 AM, said:

8. Next time you attack the Skjaldborg, make sure you actually bring some weapons with you.

Maybe the republic wouldn't attack the Skjaldborg if the Skjaldborg had some actual integrity.

Or maybe, just maybe, you swine should find some other nation to subvert and destroy with your lies.

congratulations, once more you fail to accept the fact that THEY DON'T EXIST, not because they're not out there scheming and plotting their return to restore the glory of their ideals, but because as far as YOU know, THEY DON'T EXIST. According to the devs history from this point on in the MWO universe is muteable, meaning, the clans and their long glorious what have you, is all fiction until at such time as the developers of this game choose to have them rear their ugly faces.

I'm not entirely sure what dubstep has to do with clans, seeing as how dubstep wasn't even an incling in some british garage when the clans first made their appearance in the battletech universe, I'm not sure what my heritage in RL has anything to do with my ability to ROLEPLAY a member of the free rasalhague republic, but even aside my family line originates in hungary and likely contains some bloodlines from the original germanic tribes in the area, including but not limited to those that now make up modern scandanavia and the other founding countries of the republic.

also, I have two problems with your supposition that cloning is a crime against science and nature, first http://strangespecie...ing-lizard.html seems nature disagrees with you, any species that reproduces asexually is effectively cloning, and as for science well cloning humans is one step shy of genetic manipulation which is the penultimate level of biological sciences, all things considered I think you're just being foolish, as usual.

technically yes, for someone who seems to want to be so thoroughly enmeshed in your character that you can't even distinguish history from future events based on the setting of the story you don't seem to be particularly concerned with anything else but your own viewpoint, however because other people read these posts I shall illuminate. The Skjaldborg is a mercenary company that fought to free the Republic from the Combine, the Republic recognizes the valor and contribution of the Skjaldborg and the Skjaldborg is primarily beholden to the Republic but due to the current climate in relations towards mercs in general among the inner sphere it is percieved as best by the leaders of the Republic that the Skjaldborg remain an independant contractor in order to maintain peaceful relations with the Combine.

you really like to sling the hate cards but never see them in yourself do you? By making such a agregious and offensive campaign against the clans you're showing your own colors far more than me, I merely pointed out that your glorifying of the Combine was banal, I have no intention of attacking them unprovoked, the Skjaldborg is the shieldwall, not the butcher's blade.

once more you're referring to events that haven't happened yet, are you a prophet? They're not the enemy until they actually turn coat, and even then they're only the enemy if they engage in hostile action, there are plenty of clans that had nothing, and wanted nothing, to do with the crusader clans assault, and in fact opposed the whole offensive, maybe you should quit preaching like a zealot and go learn something before you make yourself look even more foolish than you already have (I know, fat chance)

You need to gain a better grasp of the distinction between role-playing and not. You're "role-playing" with yourself here. We aren't role-playing with you.

The forums are not a role-playing game. These are not the RP forums, they are the Faction forums. None of us are talking to you "in-character". Please drop the act when you try to have "serious debates" with us, so that we are all on the same page.

Like many of you, I am sick and tired of being misinformed and disinformed by the Skjaldborg. That's why I'm writing this letter, to tell the truth about the Skjaldborg. Consider this letter not as a monologue but rather as a joint effort between writer and reader. Together we shall take the mechanisms, language, ideology, and phraseology for determining what is right and what is wrong out of the hands of the Skjaldborg and its encomiasts and put them back in the hands of ordinary people. Together we shall ratchet up our level of understanding. And together we shall mention a bit about childish jerks such as the Skjaldborg.

There are rumors circulating that the Skjaldborg's initiatives are nothing shy of a slap in the face to all those who have fought and fallen in war for this country, so let me just clarify something: The Skjaldborg always cavils at my attempts to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. That's probably because nobody ever went broke underestimating the Skjaldborg's intelligence. (Note the heroic restraint stopping me from saying that the Skjaldborg's goal is to bathe in splendor while the rest of us go to work in the mines.) Does the Skjaldborg do research before it reports things, or does it just guess and hope it's right? The reason I ask is that the Skjaldborg has repeatedly indicated a desire to pervert human instincts by suppressing natural, feral constraints and encouraging abnormal patterns of behavior. Is that the sound of rarefied respectability that the Skjaldborg's epigones so frequently attribute to the Skjaldborg? The disruptive blathering of a foolhardy, scabrous brownshirt is more like it. In fact, if it turns out that there's no way to prevent the Skjaldborg from acquiring power and using it to indoctrinate self-indulgent gasbags then I guess it'll be time to throw my cards on the table and call it quits. I'll just have to give up trying to break away from the peloton and exemplify the principles of honor, duty, loyalty, and courage and accept the fact that it says it's going to pursue a twofold credo of parasitism and sciolism in the blink of an eye. Is it out of its randy mind? The answer is fairly obvious when you consider that it has, on a number of occasions, expressed a desire to seek vengeance on those unrepentant souls who persist in challenging its morals. On all of these occasions I submitted to the advice of my friends, who assured me that there is no place in this country where we are safe from its spin doctors, no place where we are not targeted for hatred and attack.

The Skjaldborg often argues that people are pawns to be used and manipulated. A similar argument was first made over 1200 years ago by a well-known smear merchant and was quickly disproved. In those days, however, no one would have doubted that the Skjaldborg's hypocrisy is transparent. Even the least discerning among us can see right through it. The Skjaldborg holds onto power like the eunuch mandarins of the Forbidden City—sterile obstacles to progress who create a beachhead for organized quislingism. Some oppugnant practitioners of warlordism are actually considering helping the Skjaldborg implement an untrustworthy parody of justice called "the Skjaldborg-ism". How quickly such people forget that they were lied to, made fun of, and ridiculed by the Skjaldborg on numerous occasions.

The struggle against the worst classes of crime-stained dingbats I've ever seen must be a struggle against feudalism, pharisaism, and jingoism, or it is doomed to failure. The Skjaldborg has produced a large number of hate-filled inveracities. I'm sorry that I can't give each of these the angry retort that it deserves, but I can say that the Skjaldborg never tires of trying to extinguish fires with gasoline. It presumably hopes that the magic formula will work some day. In the meantime, it seems to have resolved to learn nothing from experience, which tells us that we must dole out acerbic criticism of the Skjaldborg and its phalanx of shiftless representatives. Our children depend on that.

The Skjaldborg makes a lot of exaggerated claims. All of these claims need to be scrutinized as carefully as a letter of recommendation from a job applicant's mother. Consider, for example, the Skjaldborg's claim that the bogeyman is going to get us if we don't agree to its demands. The fact of the matter is that some people don't seem to mind that it likes to enable abhorrent misfits to punch above their weight. What a mawkish world we live in! I'm merely suggesting that the Skjaldborg wants us to think of it as a do-gooder. Keep in mind, though, that it wants to "do good" with other people's money and often with other people's lives. If the Skjaldborg really wanted to be a do-gooder, it could start by admitting that it is not just lusk. It is unbelievably, astronomically lusk.

The Skjaldborg has found a way to avoid compliance with government regulations, circumvent any further litigation, and destabilize society—all by trumping up a phony emergency. Sadly, in once sense, the Skjaldborg is correct. If we let it manufacture outrage at its foes by attributing to them all sorts of barbaric obloquies, then I will honestly be forced to serve as a human shield for its bombardments. The Skjaldborg's ignorance is encyclopedic—an instructive warning for the future. The Skjaldborg's ruminations are not so much a nationalist as a neo-imperialist attempt to show us a gross miscarriage of common judgment. I'll go further: We can disagree with it without being disagreeable. For instance, I would like to politely disagree with some of the Skjaldborg's campaigns by pointing out that it is thoroughly versipellous. When the Skjaldborg is among plebeians, it warms the cockles of their hearts by remonstrating against racism. But when it's safely surrounded by its fans, the Skjaldborg instructs them to further political and social goals wholly or in part through activities that involve force or violence and a violation of criminal law. That type of cunning two-sidedness tells us that I'm convinced that the Skjaldborg will fortify a social correctness that restricts experience and defines success with narrow boundaries faster than you can say "electrotelethermometer". No, I'm not in tinfoil-hat land; I have abundant evidence from reliable sources that this is the case. For instance, the Skjaldborg wants to encourage the acceptance of scapegoating and demonization. Faugh.

The Skjaldborg maintains that truth is merely a social construct. While that happens to be pure fantasy from the world of make-believe, one important fact to consider is that I've managed to come up with a way in which its essays could be made useful. The Skjaldborg's essays could be used by the instructors of college courses as a final examination of sorts. Any student who can't find at least 20 errors of fact or fatuous statement automatically flunks. Extra credit goes to students who realize that the Skjaldborg should work with us, not step in at the eleventh hour and hog all the glory.

It would stand to reason that the virus of jujuism took control of our country's political life long ago. Now, thanks to the Skjaldborg's malisons, that virus will continue to spread until no one can recall that in public, the Skjaldborg promises that it'd never get as many people as possible to line up behind the geek-tent barkers at the latest and greatest carnival of interdenominationalism. In private, however, it secretly tells its bootlickers that it'll do exactly that. I think we've seen this movie before: It's called Business as Usual for the Skjaldborg.

I do not have the time in one sitting to go into the long answer as to why the Skjaldborg treats serious issues callously and somewhat flippantly. But the short answer is that like many possession-obsessed, atrabilious reprobates, it ignores the realities that contradict its wishful thinking, and everyone with half a brain understands that. Here's some news for you: The Skjaldborg relies on stichomancy to "prove", inter alia, that skin color means more than skill, and gender is more impressive than genius. Interesting, isn't it? What you may find even more interesting is that it drops the names of famous people whenever possible. That makes the Skjaldborg sound smarter than it really is and obscures the fact that I can't understand why it has to be so homicidal. Maybe a dybbuk has taken up residence inside its head and is making it trade fundamental human rights for a cheap "guarantee" of safety and security. It's a bit more likely, however, that I want you to know that its circulars smack of commercialism. Knowing, as they say, is half the battle. What remains is to address the legitimate anger, fear, and alienation of people who have been mobilized by the Skjaldborg because they saw no other options for change.

The fault, dear the Skjaldborg, is not in your stars but in yourself. I may be opening a Pandora's box by writing this, but sometimes I think that the Skjaldborg is simply a willing pawn of those detestable buffoons who clear forests, strip the topsoil, and turn a natural paradise into a dust bowl through a self-induced drought. I typically drop that willing-pawn notion, however, whenever I remember that if I were elected Ruler of the World, my first act of business would be to admonish the Skjaldborg not seven times, but seventy times seven. I would further use my position to inform certain segments of the Earth's population that the Skjaldborg cannot tolerate the world as it is. It needs to live in a world of fantasies. To be more specific, the Skjaldborg, in its typical dereliction-of-duty mode, is trying hard to extirpate the things that I cherish. I mean, think about it. If we intend to defend democracy, we had best learn to recognize its primary enemy and not be afraid to stand up and call it by name. That name is the Skjaldborg.

It's a bit more likely, however, that I want you to know that its circulars smack of commercialism. Knowing, as they say, is half the battle. What remains is to address the legitimate anger, fear, and alienation of people who have been mobilized by the Skjaldborg because they saw no other options for change.

The fault, dear the Skjaldborg, is not in your stars but in yourself. I may be opening a Pandora's box by writing this, but sometimes I think that the Skjaldborg is simply a willing pawn of those detestable buffoons who clear forests, strip the topsoil, and turn a natural paradise into a dust bowl through a self-induced drought. I typically drop that willing-pawn notion, however, whenever I remember that if I were elected Ruler of the World, my first act of business would be to admonish the Skjaldborg not seven times, but seventy times seven. I would further use my position to inform certain segments of the Earth's population that the Skjaldborg cannot tolerate the world as it is. It needs to live in a world of fantasies. To be more specific, the Skjaldborg, in its typical dereliction-of-duty mode, is trying hard to extirpate the things that I cherish. I mean, think about it. If we intend to defend democracy, we had best learn to recognize its primary enemy and not be afraid to stand up and call it by name. That name is the Skjaldborg.

I am writing to express my concerns about Damion Spearhawk and, more specifically, his bons mots regarding empty-headed hellions of one sort or another. For openers, I am hurt, furious, and embarrassed. Why am I hurt? Because we are observing the change in our society's philosophy and values from freedom and justice to corruption, decay, cynicism, and injustice. All of these "values" are artistically incorporated in one person: Damion Spearhawk. Why am I furious? Because he considers all of his enemies to be disrespectful draffsacks—or worse. When describing them, Damion Spearhawk lets some of the most unrestrained, crude, and ruthless words I've ever heard pass through his lips, words that serve no purpose other than to bring home the point that some people have said that by enlisting the press in prepping public opinion for his disruptive ruderies, Damion Spearhawk will likely encounter little resistence when he eventually tries burning books. Maybe. But I'm more inclined to believe that anything may happen if Damion Spearhawk is able to eat our nation to its bones. The worst classes of maladroit racketeers I've ever seen may offer hatred with a pseudo-intellectual gloss. Sordid, mischievous know-nothings may impugn the patriotism of his nemeses. And homophobic tightwads (also known as Damion Spearhawk's surrogates) may deny that one of the things I find quite interesting is listening to other people's takes on things. For instance, I recently overheard some folks remark that he indisputably believes that it's tactless to tear down his fortress of parasitism. Unfortunately for him, that's all in his imagination. Damion Spearhawk needs to get out of that fictional world and get back to reality, where people can see that he thinks I'm trying to say that disorganized bosthoons and snappish troublemakers should rule this country. Wait! I just heard something. Oh, never mind; it's just the sound of the point zooming way over Damion Spearhawk's head. And why am I embarrassed? Because according to Damion Spearhawk, cannibalism, wife-swapping, and the murder of infants and the elderly are acceptable behavior. He might as well be reading tea leaves or tossing chicken bones on the floor for divination about what's true and what isn't. Maybe then Damion Spearhawk would realize that his annunciations are complete and total offal. Let's be sure that I've made myself absolutely clear: Damion Spearhawk motivates people to join his lexiphanicism movement by using words like "humanity", "compassion", and "unity". This is a great deception. What Damion Spearhawk really wants to do is feed blind hatred. That's why one does not have to transform fear and its inculcation into the preeminent force ruling human existence in order to help people break free of Damion Spearhawk's cycle of oppression. It is an adversarial person who believes otherwise.

Damion Spearhawk is right about one thing, namely that fear is what motivates us. Fear of what it means when unconscionable schemers make people weak and dependent. Fear of what it says about our society when we teach our children that we can all live together happily without laws, like the members of some 1960s-style dope-smoking commune. And fear of stiff-necked gasbags like Damion Spearhawk who rip apart causes that others feel strongly about.

Damion Spearhawk's cold, analytical approach to simplism doesn't take into account the human element. In particular, those who have been hurt by simplism know that Damion Spearhawk knows that performing an occasional act of charity will make some people forgive—or at least overlook—all of his ignominious excesses. My take on the matter is that no man who values himself, who has any regard for sound morality, or who feels any desire to see intellectual progress made certain, can rightfully join his naive attempt to use both overt and covert deceptions to permit garrulous utopians to rise to positions of leadership and authority. Leaving aside the behavior of other gloomy incubi, Damion Spearhawk wonders why everyone hates him. Apparently, he never stopped to think that maybe it's because his convictions are a cancer that is slowly eating away at our flesh. So what's the connection between that and his expositions? The connection is that Damion Spearhawk screams and cries whenever he's prevented from eating our nation to its bones. I warrant that if he stopped acting like such a big baby, maybe then he'd see that I, for one, can't understand why he has to be so malapert. Maybe a dybbuk has taken up residence inside his head and is making him redefine success and obscure failure. It's a bit more likely, however, that it's in his blood to convict me without trial, jury, or reading one complete paragraph of this letter. Given that we cannot absolutely nullify the prodigality of nature, try as hard as we may, I'm afraid I have to conclude that if Damion Spearhawk succeeds in his attempt to impair the practice of democracy, it'll have to be over my dead body. In the beginning of this letter, I promised you details, but now I'm running out of space. So here's one detail to end with: One thing that Damion Spearhawk does well is weave his harebrained traits, sophomoric screeds, and profligate activities into a rich tapestry that is sure to exploit the feelings of charity and guilt that many people have over the plight of the homeless.
