They're also dumb enough to think Caesar's just going to work with them because they say so, and not sabotage or undermine them. Offering him power isn't going to work; he turned down being General of the Armies and Archon.

So earlier on, people were alluding to the Clans brainwashing outsiders whom they take as bondsmen or something to that effect... would anyone care to go into detail on that?

The only example of it that I ever saw was Clan Wolf doing a number on Phelan Kell, and it basically consisted of "Look at how awesome our society is because the warriors rise to the top but there's so little collateral damage". The thing is, Phelan was pretty much tailor-made for that to work on him, and the Clan doing it was Clan Wolf, who are actually somewhat reasonable and had a pretty good idea of how the Inner Sphere worked. None of the above applies to Clover or the Steel Vipers, so I have no idea how well it's going to work on them.

Yeah, the thing to remember is that by their very nature IS 'mech pilots (well, and everyone else) are freeborn, i.e. worth very little respect. There's not really any widescale attempts at brainwashing because of that - such bondsmen have worth as labourers and that's it. Those few IS pilots who'll switch sides willingly do so generally speaking because the idea is attractive to them for whatever reason, rather than purposeful standard attempts to convert.

Well, I was referring more to the weeks of mental torture that left Phelan completely broken and impressionable, even going so far as to have the Clans use pretty blatant good cop bad cop techniques, but... yeah, that works too!

Yeah, Clan chemical interrogation is terrifying. They can drudge up pretty much any memory you have and force you to relive it over and over again. Phelan was remembering things he heard while he was still in his "mother's womb".

If and only if C is assured to come around later, I'll switch my vote to D because it sounds interesting. But only if those terrorists aren't targetting clanners! I suggest all you other C votes do the same so we have a chance against the A-tide.

It's still not as bad as the various versions of the PPC. 4 shots of white lightning (or any avaliable grain alcohol), cut with Steiner: 2 shots of peppermint schnapps Liao: 2 shots of plum wine Davion: 2 shots of bourbon or tequila Kurita: 2 shots of Sake ("or 'Mech coolant, whichever's handy") Marik: 2 shots of Ouzo I imagine you could also down a shot of paint thinner and get pretty much the same effect.

Conveniently, Operation Himinbjörg translates literally to "Operation Gratuitous Umlaut". It involves a raid on a Swedish language camp for underprivileged youth.

That's actually a quote from the Warrior trilogy. Those are accurate. Also, probably a quick rout to alcohol poisoning. Another quote (from memory, I'm not looking it up), "It numbs the tongue.

So scenario C has us playing as the Goliath Scorpions right? That sounds neat, but we did just get a sound thrashing by some clanners. Let's be ComGuard. A I hope we can revisit C later.
