Don't question it, just roll with it. Thread drift is as unstoppable of a force as time and the wind. Attempting to steer a thread on-course is like herding cats. Just let the flow carry you.  ;)

The metaphor isn't very deep.  Thread tangents occur very quickly and without warning around here.  If you leave a thread unattended for a few days, don't be surprised to see that they've ranged far, far afield.

OK, ok. Head to the main forum page, scroll down to the bottom, and the last board you'll see is the Mechwarrior Hall. Head in, look around, get a feel for the place, and one of two things will happen. A) You'll be pouring bleach in your ear to try to forget what you saw, or B) you'll join in the madness.

I suppose there's no reason not to go with C) All of the above. ;)

Okay. I saw several threads opening with stuff like "Doors open boys" or "And away we go". And then people just start saying whatever about whatever thats really random and it just doesn't make sense to me. lol So I'm just gonna go with option A: FORGET ABOUT IT LOL  ;D

Hey! the Hall is fun! It is not as random as it seems. You ever watch that old show on TLC called "Connections" where
the physcist hosting it would start with rubbing coins on rocks from the Mediteranean and some how end up with
getting man to the moon? That is how the Hall works...

The topic was about Herb and why he doesn't want to share design creation with fans or staff or whatever.

I'd content there's nothing new under the sun as far as mech designs. Herb's just being a responsible line developer making sure what sees the light of day as canon maintains a modicum of sanity or at least makes sense in universe. And then he ensures there's a nuke dropped on the manufacturing facility.

To put it succinctly.  Herb is the line developer.  The 'center of the universe' in terms of Battletech.

You are not.

Any questions?

Exxon isn't interested in your ideas about refining gasoline, Apple doesn't care about your concept for the iPhone 6 and The Powers That Be do not want your unsolicited mechs for BT.

But,...remember that BT is YOUR game, and, within the confines of your gaming circle, you get to do whatever. you. want.

Because people complain about how certain mechs suck, and when the authors own up to it, they get derision. If you value your faction, you don't deride the developer :P
