Plus, there was a cannon game at Gencon with the Wolf fighting Stone on Terra. 

Blatant fanboi-ism  ^-^

I can no longer welcome our new Clan Cloud Adder overlords then. Viva la revolution!

We will serve a porridge.  We will only serve a porridge.  Our warriors will have a porridge fortified to meet their nutrition needs fully.  The rest of you will receive porridge of portion and quality based on your importance to the IlClan.

On Wednesday there will be beer as well, and it will be beer fermented from the porridge.  The Warriors will not drink beer, as they must remain vigilant at all times. On Sunday we will have Kool-Aid.  We only have purple and blue as any other colors would be drinking the wrong Kool-Aid.

Now get back to work!

Can I recommend "Skirmish Deacon" as a replacement for Galaxy Commander?

Blitzkrieg Bishop, maybe?  Combat Cardinal?

Less the Crusades and more the War of Homeland Agression... since Ghostbear's Ilkhan was named Ulysses and ya know the whole aggressor thing


Needless to say Fletch, it's going to get ugly.  I mean purple and royal blue do NOT look good together.  Even over black.  Then you throw in the gold trim the Cobras and Alpha Adders love... those new Ultramechs should get a BV break for how ugly the paint scheme will be.  And they'll need it as I'm thinking my insane AU assault mech the Osteon Asp should run somewhere around 4200 BV before pilot.

So what you are saying is the IS based pilots will have to make a saving roll against nausea?

At least the IS pilots have a throne to fail their saving throw into.

Yup!  4 or worse they puke
They also have to make a pants check roll after their first encounter.  Those clan Heavy PPC's and Ultra Rotary AC 20's are scary dude.  4 or worse they fail.
Depends are available but add 250BV per unit.


Clanners have to wear it.  [blank]



We wear it proudly!  It's the Cloud Adder version of the clawing.  All sibbies will face an Ultramech in a measely Hellfire II prime.  If they win the trial and return covered in vomit they will wear it as a badge of honor.  There is no actual badge, they just never wash their jumpsuit.
It is a great honor know as "the hurling"

He could be serious or drop the book in 3 months (this is a point of emphasis and in no way an actual speculation on when the Ilclan book will come out).  Never know with that guy.

Besides his Draconian posts lately are probably a result of spending so much time focused on the DC.
Next he can focus on the homeclans.
Then we shall call him "Lord of the Snakes"

You asked for it when you started this thing. ;)

Which is a valid point.  The IS clans do seem to be lined up like a nice buffet.  Except the Foxes really.
And since we all know the Foxes aren't abjured back on Strana Mechty  :D

Maybe I'm just a sick puppy, but Royal Blue and Royal Purple on a black background with gold trim actually sounds pretty sweet.  Needless to say, if it's not on a Royal Battlemaster then that's a waste of way too much royalty.

I could get behind this.  Always liked the Beamer.  But it needs an appropriately Cloud Adder Name.  I submit the Cadfael.

This has nothing to do with my enduring love of Sir^2 Derek Jacobi.

I think Battlemaster is just fine.  Or Beamer II
4/6 lots of supercharger and JJ configs.

At least one variant mounting nothing but pulse lasers and iATMs so as to attract the venom of grognard-munchkin-haters the world over.

Ah, you're talking about Configuration F.  And I think we all know what that stands for.

Nothing personal, but if I had to bet on someone becoming an evil overlord... I'll take GhostBear every time. I've done too many games with him as the GM to accept anyone being more worthy of the title.  ;D

He has to drink the same coffee as everyone else, right?

So I'd imagine it won't be deadly retrovirii in the coffee.  Maybe just lesser pathogens to make drinkers more susceptible to other retrovirii.  That'd be the way to go.

Problem solved, I don't drink coffee.  In fact, I generally don't drink caffeinated beverages.  I am fueled by pure spite.
