"So you run once again, Reuben.

At least I got used to this over years; I seriously wonder, though, if you will find other frontline warriors to be as forgiving, should you make it past your Trial of Position."

"Should they consider my demeanor so insulting as to require a Trial of Grievance, they will have little time to regret their mistake; should they not, their words are of little matter to me. The Clan demands warriors, not incompetents who can do little but mutter against their betters. Which are you, I wonder?"

OOC: How accurate is the Combat Value that Mechworks gives? The Linebacker configuration I am currently toying with has a 6283.

Paxus,

Combat Value is no longer used (it was supplanted by Battle Value), so I've no actual idea. Besides I'm a bit wary of judging a config by a simple number. Go with what you find comfortable or interesting. (If you recall that most stock configs are not really optimized, there is always room for an unusual one.)

"Oh, I surely belong to the first, if only by the fact that I have no betters among you."

"Oh, I surely belong to the first, if only by the fact that I have no betters among you."

"Truly? I seem to recall some abominable gunnery on your part; surely a warrior who can't hit his target, nor avoid his opponent's fire, has at least one better."

 

[Douane]

"Indeed?

While you might be a better gunner, my better you are certainly not.

...

Are you sure you don't want to join a lower caste? As I heard someone mentioning that they are rather fond of using contractions, you would fit in well.

Watch your language when around warriors!"

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

"Indeed?

While you might be a better gunner, my better you are certainly not."

"Of course not. It would be ridiculous for me to state that, because I am a better Mechwarrior than you, in a caste whose purpose is Mech battle, that I am your better. Your oratory skills and lawyering are certainly more valuable than the combat expertise of your kin."

 

[Douane]

" So the whole purpose of the warrior caste is mech battle? An interesting insight.

I will not even try to dispel your illusions, since you are so reliant on your little crutch."

"The purpose of our subcaste is Mech battle, quiaff? Surely you do not believe that we were born to be Elementals, quineg? Yes, some few among us will gain positions of authority, should they prove their worths, but no Khan has yet lived who cannot fight. There are, and must be, many warriors who do not rule."

 

[Douane]

OoC:

Paxus,

if you want to give me your Linebacker config, I can pop it into the Heavy Battle program and give you some comparison numbers regarding Battle Value.

Is there any room left in this game? I would be willing to play an Elemental or Aerospace pilot if the Star is full. I am a long time Battletech junkie and this looks like it will be a lot of fun.
