Let me just say that this thread has surpassed the glory of the original, deleted gyrok thread. Well done people, teamwork makes the dream work.

In other news, after this apparent innocent Marik attack flared up like a hemorrhoid, MS had a most pleasant battle after ceasefire with NS and there were genuine gg's and good fights all around. Very close and thrilling match. Kurita by far is my new favorite enemy.

...All the while the FRR suffers...

How many days of breathing room do you Southern houses think you have left? Can Marik build a wall around Terra in that time? Can Marik then defend Terra from all the clans? Southern houses plus the battle-hardened FRR managed to stop the clans for 2 days, even retake a few FRR worlds. Two glorious days. Then this happened and I don't think the idea was properly vetted.

My contract is to the FRR; I don't care if Terra burns. If paid enough I'll help make Terra burn. I'm not fighting the clans to stop them from getting to Terra, I'm simply trying to protect and reclaim the territories of my employer. I doubt I'm the only merc that feels this way. If Marik has some magic superweapon no one has seen yet, maybe they can defend a wall around Terra all on their own. I'm a realist. All you are doing is hastening the clan advance to Terra, the rock you seem to care about, and the world you likely cannot protect alone.

EDIT: And if this has nothing to do with protecting Terra then Marik went full derp. You are pulling troops off the clan front to attack people that aren't fully engaging the clans... because that will make them fight the clans, right? The FRR knows a thing or two about full commitment to fighting the clans and the loss of... everything in that endeavor. Yet the FRR and Combine remain peaceful neighbors. But I'm sure Marik has committed more resources and sacrificed more to the clan front than the FRR, making whatever this is a righteous undertaking...

Slang and proper English are two different beasts.

This is a deeply flawed statement. The Vernacular English has been delegitimized for centuries, but is a representation of English as it lives today, serving the purpose that language has always served in actually conveying meaning to people. Is Robbie Burns less worthy because he uses the Scots dialect? is Chaucer or Shakespeare 'improper' because they wrote in the language as it was spoken? If anything, the 'proper' English is less worthy, as it is a product of Victorian imperialists desperate to order their world and hiding from the impossibility of doing so.

Now, I've got a copy of the Elements of Style next to my computer right now, and within a year will be an English teacher. but when I tell you that 'toss off' is a phrase with a vulgar meaning, it doesn't mean i have my mind in the gutter, it means I speak modern conversational English. You may not want your words to mean what they do, and clearly that wasn't your intended meaning. However English is bigger than you are, and when you meet in a corridor going opposite directions it is not English that will give way.

I only lost 2 times, both to Templars (solid mercs btw. Solid, polite, they had some nice tricks up their sleeves). Otherwise I helped fill 5 blocks on Rosamund.

Huh. What's going to happen when Kurita finds out what the Marik population in the other two CFs is?

Well what will probably happen is that we'll never want for drops again, leading us to become cbill billionaires and get all kinds of free stuff from loyalty rewards.

Oh, and our skills will atrophy from only playing against bad players.

People acting like 3 year olds losing their Tonka toys in the sandbox. Just a bunch of wannabe politicians arguing over a cartoon map and worrying more about what everyone else is doing. Grow up children.

to be fair only the Marik guys actually care about the map. If it were up to me we'd be at war with everyone and everyone else would be in the same boat. CW is a fun gametype where you can really do some fun tactical stuff but who cares who has what planet? Except Kentares because taking that one is hilarious.

This is why all the mariks saying 'well wait until you lose your players and we get mercs, then you'll see who's boss' are full of it. NKVA and NS and whoever else joins us at the top will be the best inner sphere loyalists no matter how many ghost drops you get on our worlds. If we aren't the best then beat us! If you can't beat us, stop whining. This is a terrible age of constant war and if you get rekd that's on you.

When we get beat 12-0 we don't/won't cry about it, we also don't talk trash on the forums about how we would have won if we had better players doing all the work. We say 'gg close almost tie' and queue up again. We won't threaten to report people if they stomp us and laugh and call us bad in allchat. We drive big robots around and murder other big robots and hang out in teamspeak laughing and slapping in every fight. Maybe some of you would like to do the same. If you can't then I predict a mass exodus when the steam kiddies show up and make you wax nostalgic about how 'NKVA was rude but at least they had some class' or whatever you're doing about LORDS and the goons now that we're here.

Shoutouts to the Kurita mercs who can run with the big dogs, particularly Vlad Ward and his merc crew who killed it all night last night, and Cameron's Highlanders who have been killing it for ages.

[Kjudoon]

As we've seen, mercs go where the rewards are highest. Once the goodies run out for LPs and they become sated with Cbills because there's pretty much nothing left to buy... who knows where they will go. Right now, it's just a game of "Fill yer bucket up with toys".

Holy ****, I go to sleep and this thread blows up to 25 pages overnight? There ain't no way I am masochistic enough to read all of this nerd e-peen wagging, especially since I'm pretty sure it's just the same dozen Kurita ****-posters who have been posting the exact same things in every single CW thread on this site.

I miss goons At least their ****-posting was good.

If you really thought I was going to read 25 pages of this ****, especially hypocritical walls of text from some of the worst ****-posters on this forum, you're giving this thread way too much credit.

This is a drive-by posting, nothing more. I do like the hilarious attempt at claiming a moral high-ground, however. If anyone is dumb enough to fall for that then I have even less faith in the forum skills of this community. Are you Prussian Havoc in disguise?

It's not about the moral high ground, it's about how you look back on goons with nostalgia because of us, and soon enough you'll look back on us with nostalgia because the steam avalanche is coming and there is no way to stop it.

I think you have this backwards. Only you don't care about the map. This is why you're going to end up being pushed back to one planet. Marik does care and anyone else who does should join us . House -marik.com
