good on CSJ for attempting to clean up that last bit of Rasalhague territory sitting inside ours.

Wait we were suppose to take that? Nice that we were told that after the fact...

I did not think it was an option for you guys - how long has it been open for you to attack?

How long has the ceasefire that was made by a -MS- on CGB's behalf been up?

No not supposed to, but it works out because now you guys can attack more planets. CSJ's been doing really well lately, you deserve another attack corridor.

Rumors of wormhole technology left by Marik forces on Thondheim. But there is only one way to be sure....
Hopefully it will take you straight to the capital region to join us at the front.

We've already found the legends of the Bifrost to be mere myth, after the conquest of Asgard.

So please excuse my skepticism.

I do not need a ceasefire by any unit/person/Clan to know that attacking our flanks is meaningless. They are just the scraps left behind, so take all you want. I am only concerned about what lies between us and Terra. When PGI finally adds logistics, we will come clean up the carrion eaters.

QQ went back to FRR days ago man.

[Repasy Cooper]

Well, I'm sure that brief attack corridor in FRR territory was nice. You guys mopped it up pretty quickly

[Vlad Ward]

If our CGB attack route didn't point us back NorthEast, I'd vote to push further to hit real FRR space. The CSJ CW queue emptied by 7pm today. 7pm! We're currently set to renew for another 2 weeks based on our member polling, but since Kurita's decided to stop caring about their clan borders there's really nothing to do but PUG on some perfectly good weekday nights.

BREAK BREAK BREAK

Inner Sphere Mercenary Alliance (ISMA) attacks the Smoke Jaguar (to be repatriated to CGB) world of Polcenigo under the guise of Clan Ghost Bear.

Since Clan Ghost Bear Seniors had not pre-coordinated any OPN CLAN UNITY repatriation action, Smoke Jaguar Alliance Seniors immediately realized the true nature of this very disingenuous ISMA attempt to incite CGB / CSJ aggressions.

The clear lines of communication between CGB Seniors and CSJ Seniors confirmed that NO CGB Units were participating in attacks on Polcenigo.

Thus freed for response, CSJ defended the local CGB population from ISMA predation.


Four 12-man ISMA teams (MERCSTAR and ACES) gained through Ghost Drop 7-sectors, then as DERP, BSM, SA, 267 12-mans responded, in a manner of 90-minutes the ISMA Planetfall bastion was reduced to just 3-sectors.

The Inner Sphere Mercenary Alliance was defeated in direct combat by a very responsive and highly skilled Smoke Jaguar Alliance.


Accolades and recognition go out to all Smoke Jaguar Solos and Small groups that rushed into the breach and delayed in-game the ISMA Attack on Polcenigo. I would like to especially thank all the TeamSpeak runners who got the word out...


....in the truest traditions of Paul Revere, Knowledge was Power tonight and thanks to your work and the calm, sure coordination between CGB and CSJ Seniors, we met the ISMA at our very gates and denied them ANY opportunity to incite further distraction in this Clan Rear Area.





...oh yes, and good job securing our only Offensive target, the House Kurita world of McAlister 3-hours early tonight. This cleared the boards for a UNIFIED response to the ISMA attack.

In all the finer traditions of the Smoke Jaguar, you did ALL Clans proud as you defeated the ISMA's finest Units tonight.

...and you legitimately had the opportunity to refine Clan Tech on Clan Tech tactics, techniques and procedures. We'll need these Lessons Learned as the ISMA will continue to use fifth columnist (false flags) from among our Trothkin in CGB to execute future PIRATE RAIDS.

No they chose to forego an honorable confrontation and join Kurita forces to battle against CSJ. A blatantly and desperate need to give themselves the advantage of Clan Tech was the ONLY way ISMA Seniors thought they had a chance against Smoke Jaguar Units and Solos.



As EVERYONE who views this can now attest, even at its most duplicitous (assuming the guide of CGB) the Units that compose the ISMA failed in their first DIRECT ACTION against Clan Smoke Jaguar.


Focus on 100% liberating of our Kurita objectives within the first 5-hours of every Ceasefire Cycle and CSJ will have 3-hours to meet, defeat and reduce ANY ISMA attacks to our rear area.

Clan Smoke Jaguar ever-continues toward the liberation of Terra first, once the Kurita planet is 100% liberated, ALL Smoke Jaguars are invited to defend against ISMA wherever they can be found. Tracking of ISMA efforts against CSJ are posted to http:/www.smokealliance.com

Um what? Neither MercStar Alliance nor ACES are ISMA. That's QQ/228 and someone else.

Unless I am mistaken (and I can be sometimes) MS and ACES are not PERMACON to CGB. MS in general and Clan Kodiak in particular, as it was Clan Kodiak that my particular 12-man faced tonight.

[Cimarb]

I think it may be a matter of semantics based upon association. MercStar, QQ, 228, Rem, ACES and CI are all well known jumpers back and forth between the fronts, so they all tend to get lumped in with each other, whether they should be or not on any specific topic.

[Vlad Ward]

I'm pretty sure he's using "Mercenary Alliance" as a pseudo-roleplay catch-all term for Merc units who aren't acting on specific instructions from larger faction units.

Though to be fair, CGB faction units have launched numerous attacks on Polcenigo as well, it's just that no one really cares since they do it in the EU time slot and they lose pretty consistently.

"Inner Sphere Mercenary Alliance" refers to those Units who have shown the predilection to take advantage of PGI's reluctance to put into the game any real substantive Constraints (external limiting factors, like a MRBC, etc), Restraints (internal limiting factors, like a 48-hour NO CW GAMING impact when a Unit changes Factions to replicate the very, very modest impact of having to pack everyone lock, stock and barrel and move it from one faction to another, light years distant, etc) Consequences (THE KEY RECOMMENDATION TO FIX MANY CW PROBLEMS - remove all Mercenary planetary TAGs once it abrogates its Unit relationship with a now-former Faction employer, etc) or Repercussions (systemic Contract controls like a penalty on contract C-bills and Loyalty Point Rewards for the first 5-days of ANY new contract, also a MRBC that will track and append a Mercenary Corps Units service record within a Faction, noting instances of gross violation of the Peace Treaties of its employer-Faction, etc. LET THERE BE REPERCUSSIONS for basically pirate and bandit activity by our Mercenary Corp Units.

This is, bluntly put, a terrible idea, and amounts to nothing less than discrimination against players who don't fit your mold of picking a faction and staying glued to it.

So not only do mercs get a lower LP income rate, they also don't get to play CW AT ALL for 2 days after picking up a new contract, they don't keep tags for longer than their contract, decreased income, etc. For what heinous crime? Doing what Merc units are supposed to do - look at the map, look at the rewards, and pick a new contract when the current one expires.

I don't mind making Merc play different from what it is now and giving more flavor to it, but this is insane, and just punishes Mercs.
