From the few votes that trickled in to this totally unscientific sample, lot less Clanners then I expected, which is a good thing imho.

[Lagfest]

Depends on how the next few months go.

I am surprised the Clans have such a little supporter base.

But then i am quite pleased bcs it means the real MW stuff will flourish and they can make Clans an expansion that has an appeal to a different playerbase they may be able to catch and nothing is as good as someone to beat up you really dislike in their behavior and ethics.

FRR.

Hopefully PGI actually does something with the fluff. I wanna be in the thick of it faster!
Okay that and I like the Dragon mech... probably borderlined unhealthily. And I am not particularly fond of the DC.

So FRR is my best bet

Clan Wolf. Warden faction.

As to the why, the short answer is MW2.

The house with the least members/supporters.

[Joseph Mallan]

I am a Lyran Citizen and member of Murphy's Law... Which right now claims to be Lyran in the factions forums! I guess I will give my loyalty to who ever is paying for the Beer, bullets and band aides.

My loyalty has to be earned. Its how I've always operated.

[El Bandito]

Mercenary for life. If a contract is there then I don't care.

[Kell Commander]

My explanation is going to be kind of long, so if you don't like reading skip ahead.

With the current time frame I am going with Davion. Their mechs rely on autocannons heavily which are my favorite weapons (seriously, can I have a Victor please?) and this is the rise of Prince Victor, one of the few leaders in canon worth a damn. Sorry Davion fanatics but Hanse was in fact a warmonger.

I would consider House Kurita as well since this is the time of Theodore, who also promotes the well being of the IS as a whole and not just his spot in space.

Sorry FFR, but I don't want to be clan fodder.

The only sane Liao is Sun Tzu who then becomes obsessed with recovering every world his house has ever lost (to his credit he did a pretty damn good job).

Marik is too unstable

Katrina Steiner would be fine, but her granddaughter (her name is KATHERINE god damnit!) is a tyrant.

I don't want to join the clans because I like an underdog story, curb stomping everyone is not fun.

[Naglinator]

Lol Steiners, who doesn't like a faction with light recon lances of Atla's Clan Wolf all the way, we'll be seeing you Free Rasalhague Republic guys soon.

[TVMA Doc]

I plan to represent the Nobel House of Folger against its arch enemies-The House of Maxwell and the Starbucks Combine.

Does it even matter? Everyone kinda comes together to fight off the clans for awhile. Should've started the game during a succession war : /

I'm not the most familiar with the exact storyline, but I would think this a pretty valid point. Wouldn't it have been worthwhile to delay the clan invasion a little bit so that the houses can duke it out for a bit, get some new mechs in the field, then bring in the clans?

Ah well, we can all still duke it out, for GLORY!

Another point. People not well versed in the lore have no idea whats going on in this universe. To a new player the factions are essentially identical and have no reason to hate each other. And they have no idea what/who the clans are and so can't really see the future of this game.

[Taemien]

The only factions worth their salt in a fight is the Federated Suns and the Draconis Combine seemingly both in canon and by the players I see in the forums. The fight between these two will be glorious.

[Trauglodyte]

Federated Commenwealth - everyone knows that the Lyrans need all the help they can get. They're sporting a fist but can't seal off their borders.

[Demoned]

I'll be rooting for myself I'll own all ya *****,
and tech and what ever else i can loot

[ApathyZer0]

I don't understand why so many people think that the clans won't be implemented. If they weren't going to add them then why set the timeline at this point?

[whiskey tango foxtrot]

Hmmm lets see.......oh ya Lone Wolf......ya think....
