Power is a goal. Pleasure is eternal. Welcome to Canopus.

[Baldur Mekorig]

Sadly. But, what can you do...

Either get "fanboy anger" (Patent pending  ;D), hope for the best, or grab a beer and see the Inner Sphere burn (again).

In reply to JimDiGris and FaithBomb (rather, her penultimate post... obviously, I'm typing WAY too slow today):

Indeed... who would ever expect lighter 'mechs to be used in a "siege" role?  ???

I mean, that could work against purely conventional units (armor and infantry), but when 'mechs are in play on both sides??  ???

Like I get those two novels as a fun read, but they don't make much sense, and there is a lot of handwaving to just make everything tie together.

[Daryk]

I've never seen the novels as more binding than the rule books, but obviously, that's a minority view point...

I still have to read those 2 novels. So far the "end of DA/begining of InClan" novels have been so-so, but the thing with the Northwind Highlanders is that i have almost no interest on them. Heck, if i read the books, would be for the capellan part.

Well the books do touch on the Capellan part quite heavily, there's just a lot of tropes and stupid pills and handwaving that makes it...somewhat undigestible.

Both of you are making more and more glad to be a grognard who stopped listening past the War of 3049...

Come on, share our pain, sharing is caring!

[Daryk]

The problem there is that the sharing would be SO off topic... At this point, I'm trying REALLY hard to not derail this thread... I really don't want an official ban...

Been there, done that, they don't even let you keep the t-shirt.

Dude, even in the "3025-era" it was full of people taking "stupid pills" by the dropship-load. The whole War of ´39 for example.

Well, let's the three of us not get banned, then...  :thumbsup:

I've always liked the Canopians as an allied faction, if not my primary one.  They have a LOT to offer, if even most of it isn't applicable on the battlefield itself...  ^-^

Who doesn't love Pleasure Circuses?

[Daryk]

That's a question for the masses beyond the three of us!  :thumbsup:

[snakespinner]

I was always expecting pleasure circuses to conquer the inner sphere.
Wishful thinking. ^-^

There's always time. Everyone distracted with the whole ilClan stuff, send forth the pleasure circuses!!!!

[Daryk]

Well, that's at least four votes!  ^-^

As the thread starter I'll chime in with a fifth...just not a fifth of Jack.

My friends and I have a saying;

"No matter where you go; the Canopian Pleasure Circus will *FIND* you"

[Turaglas]

I request truce talks between the Marians and Canopians for the possibility of implementing catgirls in the Hegemony.

I'm all for the pleasure circuses, but I'm left shaking my head at the catgirls thing, I just don't get it.

Why not both though?

We fight amongst stars and robots, let people have their hallucinations, drugs, pleasure, and catgirls.

Phase 1 begins after Daoshen's death. >:D
Future historians will point to the rise of the pleasure circus and the end of the IlKhan Era as equivalent to the rise of the Goths (led by Alaric) and the end of the Roman Empire. :smirk:

[Maelwys]

On the plus side, the 12th RecGuide has the Magistracy producing a Shadow Hawk that has CASEII and an Enhanced LRM.

I'm not too thrilled about the ammo bomb in the torso, but its nice technical progress...

[Sharpnel]

Shadow Hawks have always had an ammo bomb in the torso.

[Maelwys]

Oh sure, and the Light Engine and CASEII makes it more survivable. But I wanted to point out potential flaws rather than people thinking it might be perfect :)

I've always thought that they might have more planetary based opeations that have in all states

So...Kurita?

In my head Canon, even Lord Kurita likes pleasure circuses.
