Dire Lemming said:I'm ready now I guess. You got my second mech I sent right? Man, it's gonna be hard to roleplay a clanner. I'm gonna have to be decent to Freeborn, I'm sorry.
Thats also alright, though it too can carry its own social stigma. You'll prolly be labeled a freeborn lover. But like I said, Clan Wolf doesn't view the inferiority of Free Births the same way the rest of the Clan does. They function off of the ideal that if a warrior is good at his job, hes a good warrior. It might hurt your chances at getting put up for a bloodname though, due to polical issues.
One other thing, Caros and Jemal, you guys will be of the Kerensky Bloodline, so if you get a chance to compete for a Bloodname, thats what it'll be.

I guess that would make you a 'Crusader'?Jemal said:If the Freebirth beats me in rank, I'm SO stabbing him.j/k. THough just for the record, Jemal's gonna be one of the more... aggressive wolves.
Reading over all of the BattleTech history, pre and post The Clan Invasion, I have come to the conclusion that with all of the Clan's advance war making capabilities they forgot one of the very basic tenets of war. Protect your supply lines. That is the sole reason why they lost the war, that and their pride. Plus I find it hard to believe that even after the Clans lost at the terran home world that they were still not capable of completing their Quest and finishing off the IS. But then again what would the writers do then....?
Ready to start when everyone else is.

Clan philosophy seems to be full of double standards doesn't it? I suppose some rules just take precedence over others. So who are the next victems?

Bloodweaver1: Nah, that just makes him more Trueborn.
The Clanners lost because of their code (and unwillingness by most Clans to break or bend it), their focus on personal ambition, and their infighting. Even within a single Clan there is lots of competition and rivalry, and even more between different Clans (something like a third or so of the original Clans have been Absorbed or Annihilated over time by one another, and the remaining ones still have serious chips on their shoulders; most of the remaining ones are actually rather weak and small, and thus unseen on Inner Sphere battlefields because many have to focus on just defending their own planets against other Clans).

Gasp, I just realized, Darimus used the IS names! For shame!

I'm not sure but I think I read that rar is more efficient than zip or something like that. What don't you like about WinRar?
First off, I used IS names for the mechs cause it just the way I'm programmed. I'm Inner Sphere to the Core, but I wanted you guys to have access to the best toys so I put you into the clans. I'm trying to keep an eye on it, but its hard to undo 10 years of programming 
Btw, I used .rar just cause it was the first command on the list. I'm not very picky about what I use.
I've looked over the mechs I've been sent. They look good so far. We'll see how they do in combat.
When you guys are ready, I want you to post in the IC thread. You'll need to select a starting location on the hex map, and roll initiative. It has been suggested I pair you guys off by similar weight catagories, but that is unnessecary considering you "should" be fighting your own opponents. I'm a little more lenient than the actual clans in that I base your opponents off of your weight catagories. But I degress. The Trials will be held in a first come first serve fashion. First two people to post will go. Then the next two/three will go (at the same time of course, just in a different trial).
