So much for the strong and fearless Clan Wolf. Or maybe it should be known as Clan Steiner?

All the accusations of being honourless leveled at me and then Clan Wolf forms a non agression pact with the enemy.

How dezgra is that? What a "howler" perhaps?

Please, please, lets talk about honour again, I really, really, really need a good laugh.

Using a Dark Caste for Clan is not really good for the lore.
And even if you are not using the lore to the letter. Remember there will be people who follow it much closer.

Please, convince PGI to allow the option to represent oursleves better. I have made numerous posts and official suggestions about introducing a bandit/pirate faction. This is the closest fit to representing our interests and as clandestine elements in the CGB channel it works based on the options available and from the idea that we would be representative in the Clans from Lore.

But please tell me more about your lore following pact with steiner? CW members played the honour card, and now they seem to be more dishonourable to the clan idea with their pact with steiner. If anything I would say that the Dark Born has if anything be more representative in helping Clan efforts on the field by keeping their association with CGB than this betrayel.

Must be a sad day for you when the Dark Caste is perhaps more honourable than yourselves. I guess lucky that there isnt an effective council else they'd likely call for a Trial of annihilation or absorption from the other Clans.

P.S. I can supply you with German phrasebooks, quija?

First of all PGI has pissed all over the corpse that was BattleTech lore at this point so really everyone should stop citing lore as some sort of resource/validation for anything.

The pact with Steiner is hardly a betrayal, (I think some people don't know what that word means), and while we aren't attacking steiner planets we have been helping CJF hold theirs.

The steiner pact also has allowed the clans to focus two clans CGB and Wolf against 1 IS faction, the effect this has had speaks for itself if you look at the map. FRR is losing 2 planets a day minimum since the xmas holiday ended, after the space Vikings are successfully subdued (wont take much longer) we can then put a more concentrated and united effort into dealing with the other IS factions

If anything the Steiner pact has benefited the clans more than any IS faction, we're still taking territory and the clans arent losing any, (whats not to like about that we are all still unified under the idea of freeing the IS from Tyrannical house rule afterall) its also created a big rift between a lot of IS organized units who are now pissed and actually refusing to help Steiner, and has caused a couple merc corps to even join the clans instead.

TLDR version:
The IS is the enemy, once they are subdued THEN we can go about settling our own scores

you are kinda crackin me up, your upset we have a pact to "not destroy steiner right now" so we can defend our borders against GB, since, for whatever reason, you have chosen to attack (read: outright declare war) on us instead of the IS. Sooooo, Interesting logic. Not sure where you think we are weak or foolhardy. You act as if we are not attacking IS targets at all, which is pretty easy to prove otherwise, you try to establish dominance with words about how we are dishonorable, when our dishonor is that we meet you as equals on the battlefield and your simply upset that it's not the walkover you wanted. Looks like things are straightening up now, for the good. Your foolish inflammatory words do not help the situation, and simply make you sound childish.

i just wanted to go on the record and say the reason for the war against Clan Wolf is bullpoop (add everyone's favorite s-word). This was something that was planned for weeks by certain individuals, then when they came back they decided to preemptive strike just to be told to honor the cease fire. Now PGi takes away the Kurita attack lane, and somehow you expected PGI to fix it in hopes of preventing a all out war with Clan Wolf? ARE YOU INSANE! Where in the world of rational thinking does this even make sense? So certain units put on this whole facade, just to find any excuse they could to pis the community off.

Now I am only speaking on my behalf, and I am sure that there are other members of STS that agree with me. After talking with friends in GK, it was clear that eventually this would have come to war between both factions, but not this week. sounded like so many teams making stupid choices have warn out the welcome by attacking the Wolf border. Chances are it wouldve happen when the clans actually got closer to Terra. This just blows and may Alexandr Kerensky's Ghost have mercy on your soul.

Clearly once Terra was within the grasp of a few clans this would have happened, I agree with that. I would have expected no less and was looking forward to it.

Hopefully the Space Vikings, Space Samurai, and Blue Fists don't take advantage of this and reclaim any territory. The speed at which we were advancing through the IS in my opinion was due to the lack of infighting amongst the clans (though many posts in General or the CW forums say it's because our 'mechs are still OP) compared to the IS.

Honestly i really hope this draws the IS up North to pound the **** out of clans. To much seal clubbing going on. And as it stands from what ive heard through the grapevine, Mercstar Alliance is now on a hunting list by every major comp team worth talking about not aligned with them.

PGI gets part of the blame for ******* up their implementation of mercs. The system in place now is not anything like mercs in battletech and allows for shenanigans. Also, mercs aligned clan, talk about a major oversight.

Oh yeah totally agree, for MERCS to truly to be MERCS there would need to be a rating system to distinguish them from regular clan/is units. Essentially they would have to produce a MRBC style rate system that grades your merc unit based off efficiency, wins, losses, enemys killed compared to losses taken , time frame to which you completed your contract... etc

I had posted this on reddit: http://www.reddit.co...mplemented_pgi/

[operatorZ]

Its confusing trying to follow all of this...

we get these giant king sh*t talkers in here like hybrid black and Noesis who start saying MERCS this and MERCS that...all while fighting for GB and IS, then they proceed to start fights between GB and CW, hell they were even saying how they were going over to fight the lords and stomp them...?

They post silly pictures and make outrageous claims about their abilities .....

in all honesty its all kind of pathetic....MERCS has some of the best forum warriors anywhere is all I can say...the absolute best Trolls in the business....you guys should be proud

[Noesis]

And the cognitive dissonance continues with the smoke and mirrors. You now attack the player rather than the fact, yet none of it changes the fact that you are "choosing" to cower away from Steiner. I didn't make you do this.

All your doing is calling people Troll for offering an opinion on the situation you do not agree with and because the facts speak for themselves. My calling it as it is then labelled as trolling as it puts you in a bad picture. And you call me childish when you can't face the truth?

This redirection of this focus is classic denial. But thank you for at least acknowledging that the prose and imagery made were/are sufficient to get your attention that you have started a "witch hunt" to those who are not afraid to say it as it is. I guess freedom of expression in Wolf Space is meaningless, despite the previous suggestion that you hold to the ideals of these things.

One thing for certain, it does show how "sensitive" Clan Wolf players are, but I guess the truth hurts sometimes and no-one likes the bitter pill. So I'll make it easier for you to swallow and sugar coat it for you, you know like you do for children:

"Dont worry Clan Wolf you are the best warriors on the board, the fact that you draw a truce with the IS freebirths does not diminish this and you should be proud of your efforts".

I hope you feel appropriately comforted with the above statement.

[Gyrok]

Noesis:

1.) The agreement was the decision of 1 person who represented themself as speaking for ALL of Clan Wolf (without the actual consent to do so).

2.) They have been reigned in to my knowledge, and a Council of Khans has formed to take such matters into consideration for future reference.

3.) The situation will resolve itself shortly.

4.) Making enemies among allies, regardless of your true motivation, is disrespectful to the "full time" Ghost Bears at best, and foolishly burning bridges at worst.

Community Warfare will ultimately be about alliances, pacts, treaties, and agreements. If your agreements are wasting your breath in the eyes of those you would need to convince, then you will find yourself without alliances, pacts, treaties, or agreements. Then you can make a mockery from the shadows while those who would have reached out to help you are standing with their arms crossed watching you lay in the bed you made for yourself.

Wisdom would dictate you assess the situation before your next response...

Not threatening, and not demanding, offering a wake up call. I think you will find MS is more temporary than they originally considered in the grander scheme of things, and when that goes by the way side....where will you be standing? With many allies? With many enemies?

Food for thought...

I'm in no worse situation with Clan Wolf as a result. You guys have already been extremely prejudicial to the Dark Born anyhow, this even prior to CW. There were/are no bridges to burn as a result, so not worse off as a result. You are trying to sell me something I already have.

We are not affiliated with CGB we are only working under contract in the CGB corridor as it presents the best opportunities to capatalise on. We are not allied with them since the Dark Born have no political affiliations we are neutral and only responsible to oursleves or any buisness employer. CGB have done nothing in realistic terms of helping or working with the Dark Born, so it is pointless trying to direct the finger of blame where again nothing exists.

We are not pets of the Clans we work for whomever wants to employ our services or where we see opportunity. This includes the full spectrum of psychological warfare and propoganda. This has also been fully advertised with our operational services brochure for some time. So I'm pleased you see it as being effective. However you shouldn't ally us with CGB as a result just because there is a CGB image above my name. The Dark Born is a neutral organisation that works independantly of the council or any political influence. And we already have appropriate alliances befitting purposes more suited to our needs.

None of this diminishes the fact that all Clan Wolf units have the "choice" to be a pet of Steiner. This is a personal choice you are making, I have done nothing but comment on events as I have seen them.

I'm pleased the comments are being noticed as this will of course help to raise the profile of the kinds of services the Dark Born can perform. And in terms of quality I think your above statement acts as a good indicator to the apparent effect of them.

And all in the search of Truth.

P.S. Thanks also for all the lovely intel it provides as part of the process also, that is just a bonus.

Well I must say....I thought that your ability to forum warrior and troll was a little to forced, almost contrived...but now I see why...its your job. Hell I just respond to you to get more examples of your skill but its only because I'm bored at work.

So allow me to let you have some more confirmation of you skills....you are in fact one of the best "trolls"...err sorry...propaganda ministers since Goebbels,

High praise indeed, you should add that to your brochure !
