Uhhh, What are you thinking cubs!

Please stop voting Wolf guys, there is no point to it at all and seeing 10 to 20% of our Bears wanting to attack our fellow Clansman. We do not need to open that front up, and it wont get us any Steiner attack lanes either. There is no need to make enemies here, plus you are still out numbered, but still continue to vote them? Someone explain why who does vote for them?

Focus on the FRR guys, the fights between loyalist with the FRR and us have been good and enjoyable fights.

Also if you are one of those petty types that wont play FW if you are not attacking wolf....Honestly I want to say shame!

It should be...

Vikings vs Bears and let no one else interfere with this affair!

Are you sure you wouldn't rather fight Davion? I hear most of them have finally gotten the training wheels off their mechs.

FRR is the only non clan attack direction for ghost bears. That being said we will happily right any non clan faction.

Are you afraid of fighting other clans?

[Czarr]

maybe they are just sick of doing clan vs IS fighting and therefore voted to attack wolf?

No, because this game doesn't allow Clan vs. Clan. What are you, crazy?

[LordNothing]

bears and cats really should fight.

Our clan is heavily more based. While we don't particularly like the wolves there would be no reason for us to engage warden clans while we have the IS to contend with. Once the timeline jump occurs we can visit that topic again.

This isn't Battletech.

Claners prefer the easy money that comes with farming IS pugs. Actually fighting one another smacks of parity. Can't have that!

Yea you know I keep getting confused by that MWO A Battletech Game thing that splays every time I open the game or forums. Just because the game isn't lore and BT driven doesn't mean our unit doesn't have fun working it in any way we can.

You do realize that every chokepoint map (you know, ALL of them) gives the clans the requirement of rushing through IS optimal range to get into knife fight distance to have a chance right? We would be at less of a disadvantage attacking other clans.

[DevlinCognito]

Speaking as an evil merc passing through, could we please be given the chance to attack Clanners? I've played more than my fair share of IS vs IS, and Clan vs IS (on both sides), I'd like a chance to experience Clan vs Clan at least once if possible.

No, but the game is within the Battletech universe and most who play MW: O are fans of it.

All 4 clans really want to focus on fighting the inner sphere and not each other such as lore.
All inner sphere factions often only fight those that were the targets in lore to the years before the clan invasion and the years during. Especially seen with Kurita vs Davion/ stiener.

So when Ghost Bear is now Fighting Wolf, not many people want to support that war and battle.

Battletech is dumb.

Then they should have made generic stompy robot game instead of trying to pray on people's nostalgia and love I'm a niche market. There is a reason other stompy robot games don't catch the same type of flak.

The story and fluff of Battletech is worse than the worst Dr. Who episode. You'd never catch me interacting with the Battletech universe for 22 1/2 years.

MWO's story is far better than some 3rd-rate IP like Battletech. It is a rich tapestry of new and better Pokemechs showing up to battle each other. Drama unfolds as the battlers realize that the people supplying them with new Pokemechs are distant and uncaring gods seeking only profit off an established intellectual property.

[Shard Phoenix]

Just because this game is set in the "BattleTech" universe, doesn't mean that there needs to be some strict adherence to the lore. That's boring.

PGI gave the options for different narratives by making it possible for Clans to vote to attack other Clans. It doesn't happen because we have hard core lore-beards who only want to operate in one dimension.

Granted, in the current state of the map there really wouldn't be much gain for attacking Wolf. Could cause a loss of territory in FRR space, and taking a few Wolf planets wouldn't really make up for it. However there might be future situation where there could be a reason to do so. The choice, then, needs to be based on how CGB wants to dictate their position on the MW:O Faction Play map, not on "BUT THE LORE".

While a lot of the lore leaves things to be desired (for example book plot armor is horrific in BT) it was a way to step into the universe and give us a living breathing experience. Instead they want a brand name they can get money filching people who love the game. It would be like someone snapping up transformers, ripping out their background, and giving them autobots instead. No can would be happy with what we currently have.

Except in that case that would be returning the Transformers to what they originally war: just toys with no story.

Butttech was released with a story (albeit created as another case of an American taking an idea from Japan).
