You might be a lyran if you think donating your regiment of atlas's to the Lyran Armed Forces is a good form of tax write offs

[JonAK]

You might be a Lyran if you think murdering your own mother is a GOOD way to become Archon...

[Orihime Asakura]

Here we go.. You might be a Lyran if...

... A romp through the meadow involves Assault 'mechs on privet property.
... You gave your first crush a bouquet of 'mechs filled with money.
... You have to pay your spouse to sleep with you.
... You think striping out heat sinks for more weapons is effect heat management.
... You hire mercenaries at top rates to go to parties and act like they're your friends.
... When you buy a round at a bar it's served in take home pure gold goblets, and then you buy the bar.
... Your most successful business venture never returns with less than a loss of 100%.
... Your butler serves you drinks using an Atlas.
... You donate a battalion of 'mech's to charity, totally oblivious to their concerns with what to do with them.
... Every time fart it fills your your pants with gold coins.
... Your cheapest 'mech has a mini bar with bartender, a gold plated commode, and the pilot seat is 200 thousand c-bill custom recliner.
... You succeeded in bribing Jesus.
... You can pay other people to sell their souls in your stead.
... Ordering a take-out involves buying a take-out chain.
... You pay your crap not to stink.
... Gold shavings are a condiment to you.
and finally.
... The smallest purchase you ever made allowed a shopkeeper to buy an entire planet and start a mercenary company.

Got a few more:
... You don't have friends, just business partners.
... You paid to have a Solaris match fixed, then took the losing bet out of pity for the poor.
... You have enough money to actually bribe clanners.
... An Annihilator in C2 or "Guasszilla" configuration is a suitable stand in for an Atlas
... Assault 'mechs like Dire Wolves, Sunders, Kodiaks, Super Novas and Stone Rhinos make you think of the words; affordable, quaint, and cute.
... You're not sure weather to respect the Timber Wolf, or call it adorable.
... You enjoy the show "Pimp My Atlas."
... You consider the Zeus to be a budget 'mech.
... The first time you saw a light 'mech you laughed so hard it was able destroy your Atlas with machine guns.
... One of your favorite sayings is" "When in doubt, BUY IT!"
... When some one says light 'mech you picture an Atlas with balloons strapped to it.
... You consider a 'mech to be in used condition if you didn't get it fresh off the assembly line.
... After a battle you offer your opponent your 'mechs, because keeping a mech after it's first battle is a faux pas.
... To you the Atlas is a tiny 'mech.
... Your computer freezes if you attempt to check your bank balance.
... You think am ATM is a device that gives poor people money out of kindness, and the missiles are just easily deployed variants of the original.
... Your dropship's heat shield is made of used Atlai/Atlases.
... Your average Solaris bet is double that of the Federated Sun's entire annual budget.
Last one... I promise...
... Any and all losses can be blamed on Zeus'es being too small.

You might be a Lyran if your favorite book is 'Atlas shrugged'


(I hope no one did that yet...)

You Might be a Lyran if : You feel that Hope and Change are more important then Fire support and logistics.

"Hope and Change"

But that would imply we'd like Obama. And given that Obama is just about as far away from capitalism as you can get, that'd be a huge contradiction for us.

In other news...

You might be Lyran if your recon lance contains enough ammunition and weapons to start a small war in South America.

He really isn't, you know? No US politician is anything but firmly centre-right. However, let's leave politics out of it, eh? That's why the comment sat there so long unanswered; it was a dumb thing to post and it was best left alone. Let's bury it now and get back to Battletech and Mechwarrior, eh?

You might be Rasalhaguein if you're almost completely irrelevant to the BT Universe, have next to no money, and lose nearly all the territory we handed you, to clanners.

Clearly you fail to grasp the wisdom and sneakiness that lead to our absorption of the Ghost Bear clan into our dominion....

Sort of like how Poland used their wisdom and sneakiness to "absorb Germany into their dominion" in 1939?

How nice... a Community Master making personal attacks without verifying the source of his/her complaint.
FYI, I could care less about individual political entities, It's amorphous. undefined ideals that disturb me.

That wasn't a personal attack, I'm afraid, but you may want to get thicker skin if you're going to wade into this kind of discussion.

Good enough. If I misinterpreted your intent, I do apologize. How ever one should generally be careful about using blatantly antagonistic wording. (A note I will myself attempt to remember )

A fair point and something I fall foul of, I will admit.

[The Huntsman]
