Clan Spaniel?  Isn't that what Jade Falcon already calls Clan Wolf?

Why would they use a reference to a popular entertainment show among the preteen children of the Clans Merchant Castes to refer to Clan Wolf?  :tongue:

I realize this was rhetorical, but it also begs the response "why wouldn't they?" :laugh:

Would the Trueborn Jade Falcon warriors admit to knowing about entertainment the Merchant Caste show to their Freeborn children?

Of course they would. The Clans tightly control their own media, and Clan Spaniel is nothing if not a propaganda tool for them, one even used to stoke the flames of Crusaderism back when it was still a fringe movement. Plus there's the so-obvious-it's-on-the-nose insult of comparing their mortal enemies to a cartoon for merchant-caste children. So again I ask, why wouldn't they? :laugh:

Thank you very much.
The clan cartoon is pretty funny to say the least.
An all urbanmech lam issue would be very funny to say the least since they first hinted at the idea back in the free twain with them being on the random mech list.

The romance housewife porn book would be truly epic to say the least.

Thank you for sharing these.

Was the logo change in the top right of the forum a 1st April thing, or has that happened since then?

Coincidental timing.  Not a joke or prank, simply an acknowledgement of time’s incessant grinding progress, bringing the universe closer to inevitable entropic collapse.  Happy April Fools! - Warner Herzog
