Can we call them Steiner commanders instead? Posted Image, unlike the actual tasty vegetable they are only delicious to one side after all. Also its lore and just feels right! Posted Image

That would imply that one of them may be as awesome as Frederick Steiner.

Honestly, right now I'm counting the term potato as very fitting considering who is... Spamming... The... Oh god dammit.

We've all been duped. His name is MadIrish. That's the equivalent of calling yourself "Salty Potato". We've been baited people.

He was still a Steiner general, and in the end, perhaps the most important military leader since Kerensky - He saved the Inner Sphere (For as long as that lasted, anyway).

So I still maintain it's an inappropriate term to use to replace 'potato.'

I don't know what word you'd want to use, but using a vegetable makes sense.

The thing is by being in a vegetable vegetative state, you express that level of intelligence... and that doesn't sound fair.

A more accurate replacement would be "Smoke Jaguar commander."

Occasionally a Smoke Jaguar Commander whose coffee was spiked by a Clan Goliath Scorpion operative.

Or maybe just call them Ian Hawker. He was enough of an idiot to work for the role.

Smoke Jags are even more inept than Steiner commanders? They are so inept that they got themselves glassed out of existence. Steiner is still around.

Here's 3 hints:

1) Plays horrible/frankenmech builds way too often and intentionally.

2) Does not recognize their own mistakes and usually first to blame others.

3) Does whatever they feel like, and doesn't even question why.

4) When an obvious plan/push has been made, they tend to wander off to either go sight-seeing or capping while in an Assault mech ;)
