Did I miss the post where the major deity of the FRR is "Charlie Mops" and one must memorize the beer song?

[Harrah]

- Paint tribal wings on Jet Pack

- Replace the fuel in my mech with Mead.

- Teach my Mech ballet so it won't lose it's footing on the battlefield while drunk.

- Rant on the radio, "Nothing goes better for battle than a full stomach of mead and red meat".

Praise Charlie Mops! There's someone else who remembers this game!

Remember that Dublin was founded at least partly by Vikings, and you'll see that it's a understandable mistake.

-Win battles against the clans by challenging the commanders with to-the-death drinking contests. First to die from alcohol poisoning loses.

They won't get past the first set of worlds, in that case.

If memory serves, Dublin was founded by Norsemen, yes, but for most of its history it was the capital and chief importer of Norman, and then English, imperial designs on Ireland. Which makes mistaking the FRR for Ireland as likely as mistaking the Federated Suns for Ireland.

Constantly mutter that Valhalla is where you're goin'. Not some stinkin' club on solaris.

Curiosity strikes, how many of us are FRR because we hope to be Ghost bear one day? I for one find my favorite clan merging with my favorite I.S. power to be very alluring.

- Pilot my mech while drunk.
- When not drunk, forget how to pilot my mech
- Open kegs with my mech's axe
- Use halved kegs as melee weapons
- Fight those damnable clanners, till you find a few that can hold their liquor, then let them join in killing the rest
- Mount an axe in place of my Urbanmechs arm
- Get through armor criticals, every time

There's still signs of the influence though.

If the English can claim King Arthur from Welsh legends that was farther back than the Viking invasions, then what's to keep the Irish from looking back to their illustrious semi-forbears? Vikings are a lot more interesting than some watery tart waving a sword, after all.

You sir, should go to hell and burn with the rest of the clanners!

And to you, mister 'I wanna put a cutie mark on my mech'... I just... wow. How the HELL is a cutie mark associated with Space Vikings? Like... seriously dood. You are FIRED from the FRR. Just GTFO. Vikings and cutie marks are two seperate things.

Just to retain my man card, I want to state that the only reason I even know what a cutie mark is because I have a 3 y/o daughter... and she makes me watch ****** TV.

Would like to add that you can like cutie marks, and you can like space Vikings, they just don't go together. You wouldn't put peanut butter on your steak, would you? And iff you would, you should be shot.

All I'm saying is I like the norse flavor that GB and FRR offer. Being a proud viking myself it's something I can identify with. And don't worry, I've got a 4 y/o daughter who makes me watch it with her every day after work. If it'd make you feel better you can tell her the Icelandic Sagas rather that wathing the tv.

Most of the Irishmen I know are fond of the idea that their forebears drove the Vikings from Ireland before anyone, anywhere else did... where anyone, anywhere else means the Battle of Stamford Bridge. They like to ignore the fact that their beloved Brian Boru was allied with Norsemen against other Irishmen, who were allied with other Norsemen.

There were the galloglaigh, originally of Hiberno-Norse extraction, who were well thought of by Irish nationalists after they were extinct... But by the time anybody seriously starts to record Irish history, the galloglaigh were as Irish as kern. And in the interim, most galloglaigh who weren't Irish were exiled Scots.

In any case, the Irish have no particular use for Vikings, when they have Saint Patrick, Brian Boru, galloglaigh and kern, the Wild Geese, and a thousand years of suffering and resistance of colonization and oppression at the hands of the Normans and English.

ETA: We Rasalhagians have more than just Vikings, too. We have Saint Olaf, Harald Hardrada, Gustavus Adolfus, Vinland, the Winter War and Battle of Tali-Ihantala, and a thousand years of a relatively large, well-armed middle class militia.

I have to say, that this thread may have single handedly brought me over to this faction. I don't know much about the other houses, but the FRR just sounds fantastic. I should probably read up on the other houses, but picturing LRMs slamming into clan mechs filled with all sorts of raunchy substances is just awesome. Now, if only I can pilot my mech naked after painting myself blue....and then stream it to the enemy mechs before I fill their cockpit with Autocannon rounds.

And hey, what an interesting way to make my first post.

[rilianv]

and the people wondered why yall pretty much lost all but 4 planets to the wolfs and ghost bears.

you kept trying to replace everything with mead
