OOC Thread #2

[Daemonknight]

Well, it's your call if you want to tell them to shove off, though I'm curious to know the reason.

[Iron Mongoose]

Now, August will naturaly have his own reasons, but since this is OOC, let me offer why I might.

With the Dragoons, Highlanders and ComStar, the panal is dominated by Terrans rather than by actual honest to goodness mercs.  Only the Blue Stars are actualy employed in that role, but they're long time Lyran units so if they sided with a faction other than Arc Royal, then impartiality is still out the window.

There's also the problem how to interperate who holds the contract when the state breaks up.  August claims himself the legitimate government of the Lyran Commonwealth, so any unit following his orders is clearly not in a breach of contract. 

Conversly, even the act of inviting a representive from Robert and Nondi implies legatimiacy for their governments, which AR denies exists.

So its not unreasonable.

But, we'll see how the media spins it.

I just picked random big-name units I'm aware of. If that is infact how it would look, give me a unit other than the Highlanders.


Because its the MRBC, it's def going to be Dragoons running the show(hence an officer and an enlisted man). Whats a big-name Capellan or Davion Merc unit that is highly rated? I'm not big with them, because I personally favor the GDL, but they're under charges so I can't obviously have them on the Board.

12th Vegan? 

[Daemonknight]

who do they lean to, Davion?

[GraeGor]

I don't think any of them are pro-Charlie, so I'm not really on the line, but I can help if needed.  If not, I'd love a press pass for Times of Alarion.  Or Addergard Today.  Or both.

sadly no Merc stayed with Charlie....woulda made for some fun RP though (in case some change their minds)

IM, you want to RP the CSA Press, feel free

Can the Dragoons run the show?

Also there are no more cappy mercs. Little Richards and Gregg's Long Striders are taking the C-G coin now.

Free Worlds League guranteed to pay for their legal fee's if any Lyran Claimant came after them (for those that signed up). As such those units are under FWL Legal council.

I have no problem with someone RPing the units but I will represent the central FWL Legal council fighting the case and providing assistance and advice to units.

:-)

[Daemonknight]

the make up of the Board was given to me by Dave: 2 Dragoons, 2 other mercenaries in good standing, and a Comstar offical.


On the subject of the FWL: offering to cover legal fees from Lyrans coming after you is fine: fight the Lyran Courts. The MRBC is not interested or affiliated with the legal proceedings within the Lyran domain, and has expressly stated that 3rd party legal counsel is not allowed to represent a mercenary unit at the Board of Inquiry.

Obviously the FWL has a vested interest in the merc commands they're not employing, so of course you can RP FWL guys helping the mercs...but the Mercs need to actually rep themselves. They can't pass a FWL lawyer foreward, unless they want to lose their rating(first paragraph of the message that was sent out).

[Daemonknight]

Chaos: the BoI isn't offically started, as I havn't heard if the units themselves are being roleplayed by individual persons. There is no actual room to walk into yet.

Making those points is fine, but for now, they'd be addressed to Colonel Deveraux I would assume, as he is leading the Board of Inquiry. If you want to change your post to walking into his office, that's fine, but your entourage would be stoped at the door, allowing only a single person in. Otherwise, it'd have to be a message sent to him.

I'll post a response later.

Sounds cool. Ill modify it accordingly.

Those FWL lawyers are so close to being right about everything... do they work for foreign governments as well?

Davion
12th Vegan Rangers even have an elite Fox corvette in this universe
Lexington Combat Command- Highly Respected and Highly rated
Illician Lancers

But if you want to give it some real flavor how about Hansen's Roughriders. They have flavor from all over the Inner Sphere if you only say the Federated Suns and Free Worlds League, and they don't like bull either.

But on that note:

Only the Blue Stars are actualy employed in that role, but they're long time Lyran units so if they sided with a faction other than Arc Royal, then impartiality is still out the window.

Okay first off the Blue Stars were associated with the Federated Suns throughout their history till they were moved to the Lyran State Command sometime before the Clan War. Then they stayed on station on the Clan Boarder till their eventually destruction during the Jihad. Not really a Lyran Command.

However, I'd like to add fuel to the fire by saying that they are no longer mercs in this universe. They joined the Star League is a command sometime ago.

They are lawyers. They are on retainer but as long as there is no conflict of interest they have no problem persuing cases on behalf of other state's.

I.E. Yes. Their lawyers even if there is a conflict of interest if the money is right they will find a way to argue the case so there isnt'.

Thanks Harlock, that helps me out alot. Its more of a fluffy thing, to give it a better appearance of equality(as much as possible anyways).
