No matter how many people tell me: Whelp them's the rules!, I will always refer to the poorly written Narative above
Can you stop with the straw man arguements?
1. I didn't say anything like "whelp them's the rules".
2. I don't care what you do in your game. I encourage you to make it your own and do what you want with your game.
3. Even for the MUL's guidelines for what we mean when we say x, we acknowledge their could be exceptions.
Stop trying to be a matyr. Nobody is taking away your Thorns. As somebody quoted me earlier, our only intention is that you be informed. I don't like somebody coming up and saying "why didn't you tell me the Von Rohrs was extinct in 3052!" If you see the MUL said extinct for the Thorn, and you want a Thorn, good for you. It's your game.
But by the same measure, stop trying to tell us the MUL what we mean when we say extinct. We set our definition, and that's what it means on the MUL. We don't mean there can't be any at all, there must not be any of them in service and nobody could possibly build one. We don't mean you can't have one. We mean you should be aware that the majority of the Inner Sphere considers it gone. (They can be wrong).
