It is worth noting that the Jags got very close to being annihilated long before the invasion over their treatment of their own civilians, so using them as an example of how Clan warriors interact with the civilians is a bad idea.

A very good example to look at for how it is supposed to work is Clan Ghost Bear which was able to take the FRR which had been constantly rebelling against its various owners for centuries and convince the population that it would be a good idea to fully merge with the Clan in less than a generation. You simply cannot pull that off without working with the locals and making them feel welcome, and the overwhelming success of the merger shows just how successful the Bears were at making the population feel welcome.

I did not see anybody use the Jaguars in that regard.

The Ghost Bears cannot be used as an example here. It says in a sourcebook (the name escapes me at this time or I would quote you) that the people in the FRR did not CARE who was in charge. They only wanted peace. As long as they were allowed to continue doing what they were accustomed doing, they accepted the rule of whoever won the latest series of battles. It was also noted (in the same sourcebook I believe) that while the Bears initially were on par with Clan Wolf regarding the number of worlds they captured, their victories were almost always stained by the number of rebellions they had. It was a classic case of two steps forward & one step back. Clan Wolf is shown to have worked seamlessly with the civilian population of worlds they conquered allowing them to focus on future conquests.

I was playing clan jade falcon and wolf when I was like six or seven. MW2 for the win.

I would plan a clanner as an alt but my main character would a merc

Clan! X3

The Clans are boring.
I will play always for the Inner Sphere and House Liao.

You don't have to worry about us, we're only going to slaughter your enemies.

To Clan or not to Clan

That is the question.

I wont play Clans- I prefer the Inner Sphere and I also prefer to be the underdog.

Just as long as they are enemies of House Liao, you can do as you will.

I have serious doubts about those wanting to be on the clan side; waiting for them to prove me wrong when I'm thinking that the majority of the players want to play with clan tech but not with the mindset of the clan warrior.

The clans will only be a success if the clan players uphold their code through tough love, making an example out of the lore breaker, etc.

If this doesn't happen then the clan player will find themselves with fewer and fewer targets as players defect from the IS due to no ramifications for playing with clan tech while using IS tactics.

regarding your first statement, I think you will find this untrue amongst the more hardcore Clan-oriented players, the numbers of which we can only speculate but I believe will actually be the majority. Kinda like how many people REALLY played MA and liked it.

I agree with your second statement.

[Mastr]

I know it is not a genuine indication of anything but this clan forum has a very high post count if I am not mistaken.

[Khan Wotan]

I would play clan, Jade Falcon FTW!

[CrazyPenguin]

I am a lore-heavy Clanner and have been since the beginning. Clan Diamond Shark all the way! Once the criteria for playing as a Clanner is out, I will make every attempt possible to join the ranks. I'm not even going to spend any of my MC until the Clans roll out.

IS all the way... keep your genetically engineered superiority out of my star map

the only honor left in the IS the way of the Dragon... all your rules and funny talk can get airlocked on the nearest dropship and blown out into the vacuum of space

The DCMS is crowded with dishonorable surats. They only won at Luthien because Morgan Kell and Jaime Wolf were holding their hands.

And to further add to their shame, it was Clan Ghost Bear that eventually kicked the WoB out of their capital world.

I only fight for profit.

[solops]

To Clan! Clan Wolf and the clans will rid of the insects of the inner sphere and free the people of corruption and greed of the warring successor states!

[Dirty Old Man]

Clan culture makes me want to vomit blood. I hate socialist government. I do not believe in the abortion of the rights of any individual for the sake of any greater good or evil...only GOD can decide what happens in the future, all of us is along for the right. Having said all that nonsense below are my answers,

1) I will only fight for the Clanners if I am captured, tortured and converted into a Boundsmen

2) I will always love to salvage Clan Mechs or Tech any day !

...God is a Clan Extended Range Particle Projection Cannon shot fired from 800 meters out that caresses the cockpit of an enemy mech. Nothing but the flash of light and the silence of oblivion. In accordance with prophecy.
