Title: Fan Council Signup & Registration Thread
Post by: Daemonknight on April 11, 2012, 04:35:47 AM
Please post here if you would like to:



Please list your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd faction choices, if you are applying for a Faction leadership position(GMs will contact you further), your CBT.com name(if applicable), if you are willing to play as Proxy for MegaMek combat resolution, and any optional contact information you have(Skype is very popular among the Intelser regulars for example, but email might also be good to list). The staff will respond to registration posts on a first-come, first-served basis, and factions that are over-populated will be locked down until the rosters even out.

Faction leadership:
Every faction has a Faction Leader, and a Faction XO. The FL is the ultimate authority when it comes to his faction: he controls the military, the economy, the industry, and all major characters for his faction. He is also the one who is ultimately responsible for the accuracy of his faction's Worksheet- if another player fills the worksheet out, but information is incorrect, the FL is going to be held accountable. Other players in his faction MUST follow his direction, and are not able to willfully sabotage or work against their Leader's wishes. Faction Leaders are encouraged to appoint one of their trusted players as Faction XO. If a Faction Leader is unavailable for a lengthy period of time, or will be unable to submit his faction's Worksheet on time, said responsibility falls to the XO. Otherwise, the GMs must step in, and results of a decision defaulting to GM Resolution are final, not open to appeal, and generally unfavorable compared to a player-influenced decision.

Title: Re: Fan Council Signup & Registration Thread
Post by: Ian Sharpe on April 15, 2012, 09:29:22 PM
Whichever is needed.  I'd rather not be a faction head, but I won't say no if nobody else wants it, either.  Something like St Ives is more my speed as a faction head.

I'm not a half-bad hand at doing orders sheets, and I'm on on a pretty regular basis.   Others can vouch for my ability to work with other players and listen as required to prevent internal issues.

ON that basis...

LC  or Free Rassalhague, or "as needed", and yes, I'll do "Faction Head" duty.

Post by: GreyJaeger on April 16, 2012, 03:09:29 AM

Just fyi, I'm not choosing FHs untill the majority of the players have registered, so everyone that wishes to go for the position can submit me an application(which I PM to those who express interest on their Registration post).

@Jaim Magnus: approved for Draconis Combine. Not going for FH I presume?


@Chaosxtreme: approved for FWL
Title: Re: Fan Council Signup & Registration Thread
Post by: Marlin on April 16, 2012, 12:53:06 PM
Hmm..

my thought is the more players the better but I know I cant go Lyran, so I will choose Chaos! :D

FWL
Lyran
and as I have to give a 3rd one..

Capella. But I wont do Faction Head, thats too much for me. Best would really be 5 players per faction. :)

I can also be switched if need be.  I am already Cannonshop's disciple(there is no way to use the VTOL except through him!).   I have no problem being faction head of a smaller faction(SIC first, FRR secondary).

Post by: Avatar Zero on April 17, 2012, 09:13:52 PM
I haven't really chimed in yet as I can't quite decide on what I want for preferences. I would prefer being under either Cannonshop or DeathRider6 as I already have considerable RP experience with them over the past couple of decades (and therefore can somewhat feel out how to deal with and curb their unique gaming "idiosynchracies"), but, really, I'm good with being a general wildcard at this point for whatever faction needs a player to fill out its ranks with.

Shouldn't need to be said, given the above, but no Faction Head for me.

Title: Re: Fan Council Signup & Registration Thread

2nd Choice- FS- It'd be good to go home.
3rd Choice- SIC- I've got really nothing except Quintus Allard-Liao Forever! Wait, he's probably a twinkling in his father's eye at the time. Well, I've got nothing.

Hugin, i've been thinking about your placement. If its all the same to you, the Great Houses need the players more than the FRR and SIC. I'm thinking since the FS still has 2 players already, the Cappies might be the best place for you to be stationed. Ok?

Post by: Daemonknight on April 26, 2012, 08:56:05 AM
Every faction is recieving the battlemech units it historiclly had, or as close as I can get, and there is not alot of reliable information on them outside of the Historical: War of 3039, which focuses almost entirely on the DCMS, AFFS, and LCAF. However, since that would make certain factions essentially unplayable(CC, SIC, FRR), those factions are being bolstered in other ways to make them more attractive. In the case of the CC, considering their dependance on Mercs, I'm currently leaning at giving them some sort of bonus on the mercenary market, or perhaps, given their propensity for relying on mercs, I might allow them to choose from a handful of the units they historiclly had at the time, and giving them advanced access(essentially they'd have a 'right of first refusal' clause in their past contract, which the MRBC would be honoring).

I haven't decided exactly what, so don't get your hopes up on that just yet. I'm still scouring the books for information on the formations, and I'm also putting together aerospace units from scratch, so you atleast have a little MP to play with.
Title: Re: Fan Council Signup & Registration Thread
Post by: Fatebringer on April 26, 2012, 09:20:33 AM
I would recommend for bolstering the SIC a simple solution, that would also help even out the Capellan disadvantage. Require the FedCom to station a certain % of their mechs to support them. It's a small thing, but hey, it's also realistic.

In the PM I sent you, I had requested pretty much the exact same bonus for the Cappies regarding the mercs. :)

If we feel it necessary to buff the Cappies we need to make sure it's not a defacto buff to the DC.
Title: Re: Fan Council Signup & Registration Thread
Post by: Parmenion on April 26, 2012, 07:48:13 PM
Personally, I think every faction should have a right of first refusal for a certain number of merc units.  After all, I can't ever see the 21st Centauri Lancers, in this period, ever not being in the employ of the FWL.  Likewise, units such as the LCG for the FedSuns. 

I'm not advocating first right of refusal for all units, however for a number that realms would consider almost like House units.

And what about merc units currentlyin the employ of the periphery states?  Are they to be excluded?  Because if not, and when, or if, the periphery is opened up for play, then I know that both the TC and the Magistracy is very dependent on Mercs to supplement their line formations.

Every faction is recieving the battlemech units it historiclly had, or as close as I can get, and there is not alot of reliable information on them outside of the Historical: War of 3039, which focuses almost entirely on the DCMS, AFFS, and LCAF.

If factions wish to write First Refusal clauses into their mercenary contracts, that is up to them. However, nobody is going to be getting such abilities right out of the gate except for the smaller factions, to allow them to bolster their militay, since they have a house unit disadvantage.

As for the periphery, the mercs that wish to stay within the good graces of the formal mercenary community, the ones who used the MRB and the MRBC, they would be under the same rules as the big IS units: contracts are no longer supported by ComStar, untill renegotiated under MRBC rules. If/when I open up the periphery(don't hold your breath) they will get something to give them some staying power. Assuming the players don't eat the little nations before then(which I will be making very difficult btw).

Title: Re: Fan Council Signup & Registration Thread
Post by: Daemonknight on April 28, 2012, 08:29:32 PM
Approved.



I would like to request that one of the Lyran players consider moving over to the Federated Suns, so that all 5 Great Houses have atleast 2 players, and the only loners are the guys in charge of the smaller factions anyways. Please? You can apply for FH of the Suns if you wish, or not, but I would really like to see someone make the move to balance out the Great Houses.

Again, thats a request only, not a demand.

Very very limited MM avalibility (though if this game goes as long as the last one, my kids will make it to school, then I'll have more time).  No leadership intrest (perhaps small faction XO, at the most).

As long as you have your faction heads set, I don't see why a faction can't have up to 5 players. Once the battles start, there will be things to do besides RP.
Title: Re: Fan Council Signup & Registration Thread
Post by: Daemonknight on May 02, 2012, 01:37:36 PM
if we start getting more than 4 or more players per faction, that is when I would considering making a jump to the Clan era, if people wanted it. I'm actually somewhat surprised we had this level of turnout, pleasantly surprised. But I leave it upto the players to decide where things go, I don't want to be the storyteller, just want to give you guys a subtle push here and there

Title: Re: Fan Council Signup & Registration Thread
Post by: Fatebringer on May 02, 2012, 07:02:43 PM
In this case, I think you're benefiting from being the "Only (FGC) game in town." And probably, it's a time period that people want to play. I mean, we had a great S7 game going until the Jihad hit and we lost a lot of players who did not want to play the Jihad. They wanted the same old Solaris they were use to and that was it, so they walked. I'd say about half the game left.

Might there be room for a Canopian liason officer with the FWL forces?  I know they were tight with Andurien at the time, so there's that end.  I would be happy to join up the League, though I would certainly reserve a desire to play and/or FH the Canopians if/when they're allowed.

Side note, Xotl made some truly epic RATs for the 3028/3039 era, both mechs and vehicles.  It's a d1000 system and does perhaps the best direct look at a faction's makeup, at least per weight class.  It's inclusive of everything that's ever been mentioned, weighted by fluff descriptions.  It's not terribly balanced, especially by 3039 since the IS has a lot of SL tech starting to pop up compared to the Periphery states being stuck with SW-era stuff, but it is pretty bloody accurate.

Hi Folks

I got poited towards this game on CBT.com.

If you are still taking players I'd go with the following:

Available Factions:

Free Rasalhauge Republic

Lyran Commonwealth


I was informed that I can neither apply for Periphery nor for Mercs. Is this still valid?

If not I would like to express my interest in the Taurians.
Title: Re: Fan Council Signup & Registration Thread
Post by: Daemonknight on May 07, 2012, 10:39:39 AM
That is correct. Mercenaries are not playable factions in this game, and the periphery is currently locked out from player control. That being said, welcome to Intelser, and you are approved for the FRR. :)

Just an FYI to people, Hugin asked Cannonshop to take over as Faction Head of the Lyrans, and CS agreed.


Effective immediately, Hugin is no longer playing for the Capellans, he is now Faction Head for the LyCom. I assume Cannon is staying on as a Lyran player untill I hear otherwise

Like I told Hugin, if Ian had no problem with the arrangement, and DK (the GM) had no problem, I really had no problem with it-we're ramping up to an increased production flow at work, and I expect to be pulling hellish amounts of overtime later this year, since Deadlines are Deadlines for a reason, having someone else handle the sheets ON TIME keeps the faction alive-flaky time management issues don't, and I'm willing to give Hugin a shot if the rest of the LC's players are willing, and provided it doesn't foul things up for the GM.

I suppose I'll throw my hat into the ring (or other local colloquialism). I have very little preference for faction, but since the Capellans have the least players of the Successor States, I will list them first. Plus having another Raven as Faction Head would definitely work for me.

2. Free Worlds League

First off hope everyone's doing well (or better at least) from when I last was around a year or two back.

I've been missing my battletech fix and when I noticed recently that the game was restarting I was on the fence about joining back.  Parmenion noticed my visits and asked if I'd like to have go of it. So here I am and I'd like to be working with him again if at all possible.

1. Federated Suns
2. Lyran Commonwealth
3. FWL

I'd have picked the Cappies as a choice  to have the chance to work with IM, Fate, and up till yesterday Hugin again, but the only good cappy is a dead one. ;)

Welcome back to the site Dis, it's good to see you back again.

Now, I know you placed FS and LC first on your list, but I'm kind of liking you going to the FWL, just because the more different voices in Parliament there are, the better the FWL becomes. Its not a requirement, and if you're really hoping for the FS I'm okay with it, but I just think that they could use a 4th player before the FedCom factions(after all, they're almost a single faction at this stage, with Kat having her cancer fight).

Your thoughts?

Title: Re: Fan Council Signup & Registration Thread
Post by: Daemonknight on July 21, 2012, 07:55:20 AM
Just so we're all clear on faction status:

the SIC currently has no players. Because it is such a small faction, I will be running it in full untill a willing player steps forward, from OUTSIDE the game. I don't want to dilute the factions, there has been enough shuffling around already, if I can help it. I am willing to let a player without FH experience(provided they have either FGC experience, or a recommendation from an experienced and respected player) take a swing at the SIC, so long as the FS is willing to mentor them(after all, the FS is the main reason the SIC didn't get eaten by the CC in canon anyways).

As for the DC...I am unwilling to let such a major faction be handled by anyone other than an experienced FGC faction head. So untill one shows up ready to lead the DC to glory(or defeat), I will be co-Captaining the DC with Grey along the lines I spoke about earlier. I feel it is the only way to keep the DC functioning as a normal faction without simply taking over and running it as NPC faction, something I don't think anyone in the game ever likes to see happen.

I know they do, and I plan to run them with as much effort as I ran the Falcons, albeit vastly different goals(the SIC ain't conquoring the Sphere anytime soon :P).

However, AK didn't seem interested in the FH position right off the bat, so I'm inclined to let him get his bearings in the LC while I boss the SIC. Besides, this gives me a perfectly good tool, along with the DC, to get some storylines moving without having to resort to throwing ComStar out there to start mixing things up so soon after trying(and having success with) the diplomatic approach.
Title: Re: Fan Council Signup & Registration Thread
Post by: Arkansas Warrior on July 21, 2012, 07:33:09 PM
I'm willing to give it a shot, The SIC is pretty small, so it's not like running a Great House.  Especially if the Suns is going to mentor me.  Heck, that's even canon.  The FS advisor was practically Candace's chief of staff.  lol

(Other than Clan Mongoose, I guess  8) )

Though intrestingly, depending on your point of view, the St Ives Compact is, in its way, the Confederation too, so I guess we should encourage everyone to go there.  It can be the gateway drug on the path of enlightenment addiction.

I don't think the periphery is open right now.  Maybe go FWL, and get them to give you Andurien?  Since they're in rebellion right now, that basically gives you your own minor state to run.

I might just lurk then.  I was interested in something to really practice my getting into the game, learning the rules, but where I can watch safely ;)  I also wanted to focus on the Concordat because it is right around now that Thomas' craziness started getting VERY pronounced.  As such, it was going to be fun roleplay!

You should go ahead and sign up.

1) I suspect when the periphery factions do become available first dibs will go to currently active players.

2) Periphery powers aren't going to become available until we have enough players period.

In other words if you sign up and get active the Periph will be here sooner and you're more likely to have a shot.

What you should really do is join the Confederation, because we hate the Davions as much as the Taurians do!  And the MoC, too (its only a few years since we turned them and Andurian back, after all).

Or some other faction that needs players more.  I mean, if you can stand being inferior.

Bergie, the FRR already has enough people for such a small faction, so I'm going to stick you into the FWL, alright? And Crunch is correct in that when the Periphery opens up, active players get dibs on whichever factions they are interested in. Welcome to the game!

@Terminax: Who interestes you more, the LC or the FWL? If you really want you can hop over and play the DC with me and Grey, but I don't know how much time I'll have to teach you the ropes, what with running the game and all...
