Tue. Nov 6, 3049: “What War Has Rot” is dark-humored take on interstellar atrocities, beginning with the first orbital bombardment in 2399.

Orbital Bombardment !

I REALLY hope that "rot" is a play on words and you didn't actually mean "wrought". If it's the former, the pun isn't obvious to me and I'm a jerk. If it's the latter, seriously guys, copy editing. Someone needs to check these things.

The universe is in ruins and society has been reduced to fuedalistic remnants
as they struggle to maintain anything, and face the likes of comstar, clans, and word of blake. What war has rot indeed. As in rotted, referencing everything in the 'sphere pretty much.

It's a rather obvious play on words. The guy that makes these is a professional writer that works for Catalyst (the company that makes the TT Battletech)

Professional? Considering the press releases are rife with grammatical and, sometimes, spelling errors, I think not. Today's release announcement for the Blackjack misspells "sporadically" (as "sporatically") and has plenty of grammar, style, and formatting inconsistencies. Three months ago they wrote that someone had "decade's old" grievances instead of "decades-old" grievances. These are rookie mistakes and totally inexcusable.

the ISN feed, and the mech stories, are not done by the same person.

So what you're telling me is that more than person is bad at this? That makes it less excusable.
