It's part of the plan, though. (Or at least the plan was marginally adjusted for it.) And it functions on a couple different levels considering the current mini-vote, come to think of it. Besides, this gooncompany is pretty laid back, so no one's gonna throw a fit over someone doing the "wrong" thing (that is very likely to be not even be wrong when everything is considered).

Because you're a worrier. Everyone's been pretty much on the same page from the get-go, my point was just that no one's gotten bent out of shape about anything anyway. And also: plans.

That's up to PTN how he wants to handle it, I could whip up orders for them real quick if he wants one of us to put orders in for them this turn, but if he wants to let alts put in orders or handle it some other way that's cool too. And I also don't want to feel that I'm forcing my plan on people by fiat of getting more units to control for a turn, either. :)

I'll allow it. Send me back-up orders, and next turn I'll ask the alternates to send something in just in case.

I did it last turn, but I feel weird driving other people's mechs without any of their input for more time than that. What if something were to happen and they died while I was running them and then people were mad at me? :ohdear:

This is what I live for. This is the purpose of living, for those who have no life.
I expect that if I ever miss getting orders in (so maybe I died or something) that you guys will send in back-up orders that basically say, "Turn the Archer around and shoot things with its butt."

Why does anyone think the terms of surrender are going to be anything other than unconditional? It's not like Clanners sit down and write epic treaties on war reparations, they just wreck poo poo.

Because like everything else in Clan society, it is overly structured and in no way rational.

Hell, the fact that you're a prisoner is enforced entirely by making you wear a super special Livestrong wristband. :effort:

It's actually enforced by cultural expectations, since the Clans are hugely inbred and their warfare is basically entirely ritual diplomacy, of a sort. Clan "Warriors" are actually more or less negotiators and diplomats, considering what they actually do 90% of the time (i.e. hammer out the terms of deals).

Now, this will basically break down entirely against IS culture, which is entirely different and alien. But it would work pretty well in Clan-on-Clan warfare, what with Clan culture looking very poorly on being an rear end in a top hat when you're a bondsman.

Oh, and just so there're no surprises this update, I'll be switching back to the text format for the combat phase. The image format is nice and it looks good, but it takes about twice as long as my old method.

We'll keep using the visuals for the player `Mechs though. I like them, and they don't take any extra time (even if they don't make things faster as I'd hoped).

“Surrender?” Wilberforce laughed incredulously. “You misunderstand, Star Captain. We are not going to surrender. My commander was just curious what kind of man you are and I have told him all about you.”

“You, Ristar, are as lazy and complacent as our Clan’s wasteful and stupid approach to battle is crippling to our future! And you don’t even see it, you never have seen it! We’ve known how you would approach this battle from the very beginning! As we speak, our inferno infantry is waylaying your tank support. You have no back-up. You,” Wilberforce pressed on, his words punctuated by his heavy autocannon, “have been outmaneuvered yet again, sibkin. Your thoughtless predictability has played you right into our hands.”

Tjris Amirault’s deep voice roared with mocking laughter. “I have been outplayed, have I? If you are referring to the rest of your regiment, they’re too late. They won’t land for another ten hours thanks to our omnifighters! That leaves me with plenty of time to crush you and these Inner Sphere dogs.”

The Sohei’s cockpit glowed a malevolent red as the skull-faced `Mech stared downfield. “Oh, since it seems you were unaware--not unexpected, it was nothing a tank commander needed to know after all--I should tell you there is a reason we were replacing that Cyclops with a Banshee. Our scientists call it a ‘design flaw.’ Whatever they’ve decided, however, I call it,” Amirault sneered, his `Mech’s arms rising.

Sapphire beams spat from the thick barrels on each, so bright that Wilberforce’s neurohelmet dimmed automatically to keep them from ruining his vision. Wilberforce lurched as the armor over his left breast burst into vapor or ran molten. Wilberforce’s `Mech diagnostics showed clear, superficial exterior damage. Nothing more. He opened his mouth to retort at the same instant his ammunition exploded.

“Poetic justice.”
