I know we're all shuddering with anticipation because the answers to Q&A #2 are going live tomorrow, but we should also keep our heads screwed on straight. Since the topic of the Q&A was "Community Warfare" I believe there's a list of topics that will not be addressed and most/all questions related to them will not be answered.

Please don't blow a gasket if the following topics/questions are completely excluded from Q&A #2 answers:

1. Which Mechs will be in-game

2. If you can/How to join a Clan

3. Mech customization schemes

4. How LRMs, PPCs, and Jump Jets will work (etc.)

5. Cockpit/3rd-person views

6. Planetary gravity and ecosystems

7. Damage modeling

... and any other topics like that. I don't think we need to spend all day increasing the size of this list; it's just a partial example, but my point is that we should have patience and wait for answers to these Game Mechanics questions and such in 2012... I mean 3049.

Remember... the Clans (what are those?) are completely unknown to the Inner Sphere, and will remain that way until at least August of next year.

It is safe to assume that non Community Warfare questions won't be answered. Given that, you know, the Q&A is about Community Warfare. And no 'what 'Mech's can we use?' is not a Community Warfare question.

What if it was stated as: "What mechs can I use in Community Warfare?"

...or "What kinds of Mechs should I expect to see in my Community?"

Eh?

I'm kind of picky over what kinds of Mechs I want stationed in my Community. I swear to Blake I will laze the backside off any of those newfangled Elementals who even think about stepping on my lawn! IT'S *MY* FRISBEE, NOW!!!

*Points at the OP*

He turned me into a newt, he did! ................................................... *OP looks at Hanyit strangely*.......I got better.....

On topic, I agree with everything the OP says. The devs are extremely likely to keep the more juicy info close to the chest, releasing it slowly...

What about this question "Can we use Urbanmech in community warfare ?"
You see its a perfectly legit question about comunity warfare ! :)

I didn't think it was possible; sort of like one of those universal paradox! Apparently I was wrong! We are now crossing the threshold from silly into the realm of plain ludicrous. No, not Ludacris, ludicrous.

So here's how the Inner Sphere Community would break down.

The Steiner house would have all the shiny, expensive gadgets but constantly have to have repairmen come out cause they don't even know how to use their common household items.

The Kurita house would have a clean, tidy yard with "No Trespassing" signs posted ALL OVER.

The Marik house would be messy, nothing ever gets done because the family fights ALL THE TIME.

The Davion house would be enormous but the old men on the porch would look down their nose at you.

The Liao house would have junk all over the yard and all the neighborhood kids get nervous when they have to walk by.

The Rasalhague house is the new neighbors that try to be polite to everybody but peer out their blinds to make sure everybody leaves them alone.

You are right, I am sorry to all whom I offended. I am unworthy of this thread.
