I heard of a madman named Hanse
who added a mech to his lance.
Was born in a jar,
so called it a star,
and betrayed the IS to the Clans.

Setubal, Yardley, and soon to be Paracale. How is that for examples?

I think it's time we start calling you Clan Kurita now. It's abundantly clear that you only have clanner interests at heart, and don't care one bit what happens to the inner sphere.

This ^^^ Screw is IS, screw the nSL, screw the clans, Kurita is it's own. To hell with everybody.

The sad thing here is that AFFS would have been happy to put 12 mans on Kurita planets to defend them while NS and NVKA rolled the attack planets. Kurita space could have been the largest and most powerful. With the nSL, you could have had Marik, Liao and Steiner in on that as well. We could have pushed the clans back to the farthest reaches of space. But no, you had to go it alone. Do your own thing.

**Note** I have been drinking for the past few hours, so I don't even know if what I am saying is even right.

Alright, in the spirit of Valentine's day and the fact that we have finally driven RjBass to public drunkenness, I'll give some insight as to how one might accomplish the goals stated.

There is a very public list of the main council members.
We all have our views on how to best serve house Kurita. Some units have very similar thinking.
When a decision is made, then all our units move as one. We do not deviate for anything but our council.
This list is a very powerful thing. A very good diplomat would seek to uncover what makes these leaders tick.

Should you start a dialog, through more private channels, you might be very surprised to hear the real reasons behind this latest council position. You would be even more surprised to find out what compromises could be made.
So far, none have stepped up to seek answers and simply ask the right questions.

This is the best I can do to steer you in the right direction. Take this gesture as you will.

See, you know that I <3 NS. You're fun to play against and I'd queue there every night if I could.

Stuff like this though makes HK sound like an insane bi-polar ex. I should know, I've got one. 'You must decipher the secret riddle in the enigma of our FEEEEWWWWIINGGSSS, that you may truly appreciate the depth of why we do what we do, even when it looks totally batshit insane to everyone else'.

Nobody is here to try and get HK drunk and talk it into giving up the butt. We'd be pretty happy if we could get you to make a decision before the topic being decided was irrelevant.

Also, go fight the Clans. I realize it's like being asked to get back together with your ex but seriously, you two are made for each other. Quit all the drama and late night crying phone calls to Marik and just go bone already.

There's no riddle to it - he's telling you to go talk to people in the DCMS council or their ambassadors one on one instead of a forum notable only for funposting if you want to get us to do something or find out what we're thinking.

I'm saying that if you're not explaining your position well enough up front nobody should have to go figure out how to dig it out of you.

Also....

you make official announcements on the forum and argue positions and decisions on the forum, stuff on that forum is a legit point of argument and opinion. You know there are days when I prod the *crap* out of Kurita and that influences your desire to go drop against Davion as a whole. The opposite is always true. Everyone with a Kurita tag who posts speaks to some degree for all of Kurita, at least in representing a general opinion. If that isn't the case than someone would have to argue with them. When a Davion guy showed up talking about attacking Steiner he got redressed by other Davions.

Why?

Cuz you are judged by the company you keep just as they are judged by you.

Even Bushido recognizes that. When your companion speaks and you do not respond then you give quiet assent. A Samurai who sits and drinks and laughs and plays dice with ronin who joke about treason and does nothing could be treated as a traitor.

Ha! You are bad samurai unfit to die upon your own blade. Go back to folding towels for new CSJ resorts opening all over freshly conquered ex-Kurita space.

It sounds like it is more important to the nSL that Davion stops getting wrecked and that Steiner can fight the clans without worrying about Marik aggressors.

The whole &quot;but then we won't defend you guys&quot; sounds more like leverage to aid your cause to me.

This may be part of the reason the council rejected it. That and the fact that mercs play such a large role in it when most of them really just care about putting tags all over the IS.

What I find funny is that the FWLM is playing the historic role of Marik in the clan wars kinda to lore. Sending ot war materiel and mercs to fight as best possible in the current framework of CW.

Of course the military success and capturing of worlds has been a bit different.
