You Might be a Lyran if...
« on: 10 September 2012, 15:44:13 »
Just make a bunch of jokes about being a Lyran such as this:
You might be a Lyran if you use PPC's as spotting lasers.
You might by a Lyran if you believe... http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Orca... Is where all R&D money should be headed.
You might be Lyran if a company of your mechs dropping causes a planet to shift out of alignment.

Possible only using Clan tech, and not easy. I was only able to fit 7 tons of ammo on it, giving 3.5 rounds of fire, or 7 at single shot.

Amusing, intimidating, but very impractical.

You might be a Lyran if you ever worked out at a Scandinavian health club or on a NordicFlex in the basement.

Or would that make you Rasalhagian?

Then you might have a small Lyran inside you!

(I´d say somewhere in your bowels. You see, you can get infected pretty easily. Just touching the wrong doorknob suffices to have that ugly little parasite nesting in your intestines.)

You might be a Lyran if. . . .

You consider the Devastator a 'heavy trooper'
. . .And the Zeus a 'trooper'

You sleep with the 3055 and 3058 TRO under your pillow.

If you want to take a MASH unit in a campaign, just to convert it into a field mobile officers bar.  (surely I should get some kind of morale/piloting bonus from that!)

You tried to build a three long tom mech in Solaris Skunkworks for 'direct fire support at medium to long ranges'

You the applied experimental tech to that mech and it STILL didn't work.

You have more medals than rounds of ammo in your bins.

If you want rules for Unicron so you can finally have a decent low end Medium 'Mech.

You want a Long Tom Mobile Rifle System that can be carried concealed.

You are the type of Social General who likes beer and blonde-haired bikini babes.  [NOT Canopian Catgirls]

You want to upgrade your bug 'Mechs to Wolfhounds and Phoenix Hawks, which you still consider low-end light 'Mechs.
