Nor is there a star wolves, clan traitor(wolf) in exile, clan wolf international, nor anything else in this forum currently existing Circa 3051 or anytime. So your point being?

My point is in regards to lore, and just lore. As you well know, PGI has blocked all lore units from being used as Unit names (there is actually a list that the system checks prior to the formation of a unit). So that explains all the different and flavourful Unit names out there.

To those desiring cohesion with the BattleTech Universe's lore, that is all well and good. You are free to do so. However, to feel a need to impose a need for lore cohesion upon others is rather silly.

Let us not forget this game only follows the most broadest of strokes in regards to BattleTech's actual lore. The game is merely an excuse to mash virtual mechs together, and as you have so put CyclonerM; to create our own entry within our BattleTech experience. Just have fun with it.

The lore issues only come up with someone attempts to comment on lore or claim lore inaccurately. When threads have no mention of lore, then everyone has fun with it, as you say.

For example: "Why does Vlad have to look so ugly" - Cool. "Why does Khan Vladimer Ward have to look so ugly" - Opens the door to lore discussion.

Of course, i cannot put an entry about Merlin Conners on Sarna, i was joking

However, this is what roleplaying is about, with all its different shades. Apologises if you Crusaders see this as spam, i will stop here..

Consider it a bump to the top of the forums, but I will stop here.

Meh, Superbowl time soon anyways. Better go get the beer and nacho's anyways.

It appears you have misunderstood what I was saying CyclonerM, I was stating nearly exactly that; that this game facilitates our ability to roleplay however we so choose as an online community. In other words a metaphorical entry.

Vxheous, Lore 'issues' completely depends on your perspective and your definition. To my knowledge there had not been an issue until a party had felt the need to rectify a perceived issue with the BattleTech lore. However, the problem with this is that this game does not follow BattleTech lore. It very loosely uses it to create what I would consider an impressionistic watercolor painting of the universe.

Look at how differently the invasion timeline has already been changed. You have multiple groups of players roleplaying as completely unique groups that had never existed within the BattleTech universe before. Or players reviving a faction that no longer exists according to the year, or playing as a faction that will not technically exist for decades (or even more). I do not recall Naglinator asserting that Vladimir Ward was Khan specifically during 3051, which would be a verifiable false statement within the BattleTech lore... but from the perspective of a group roleplaying within BattleTech's future concepts/events, they are certainly within their rights to still claim him as a Khan.

There is a time and place to legitimately discuss the lore of BattleTech; however, it does not seem warranted here.

This is Community Warfare. All folks need to know is that this is a group of Hard Hitting, NEVER sitting, in your face, Capture your place, Crusader Wolves.

It really shouldn't matter even if they wanted to claim they were an original Star League Exodus unit caught in a Jump Error, or whatever "RP-Back Story" any unit creates for itself. Folks looking for a unit should give them a try first. 07

Lol, another game showing trueborn superiority over the freebirths...

[Naglinator]

With our resident artist indisposed at the moment, it falls onto me to take up the brush. Here is my first draft of our upcoming CW mission screens.

[Naglinator]

Just a shout out to the Star Wolves for allowing us to CW drop with them. It's much appreciated the opportunity they gave us to slaughter more freebirths

[Naglinator]

Since we're doing one warrior for personal reasons for a while we are looking to add one more for anyone who is interested.
