Fan Council '62 Signup & Registration Thread

[Dave Baughman]

What Clans don't have players or are most in need of players? I wasn't eagerly looking forward to running a faction right away, but it might be an action that needs to be taken right off the bat...

Currently, I believe that the only Clan that has no players at all are the Camels and the Spirit Cats (the latter of which Marlin is currently generously acting as caretaker for).  As for those who are looking to bring on more people, I imagine most of them could benefit from more players, but I will defer to their faction leaders for the final answer.

I am also assuming that means I can be in a clan and IS faction?

Ah, my apologies for not being more clear, you definitely can play both sides of the Clan/IS divide. The only real restriction we levy on players is that we ask they not play "next door neighbors" to avoid any potential conflict of interest.

[Starkiller]

I would like to apply for an IS faction:


1. Federated Suns
2. Federation of Skye
3. Free Worlds League


At this time, I am going to remain a Clan free agent. I'd prefer to get acclimated with this game with a single faction before joining another. This will give me a chance to see what clan presents me the best opportunity to play.

[Dave Baughman]

I'd be happy to approve you for the Federated Suns, but since its a large faction it will involve a bit more paperwork than usual. How comfortable are you with the current edition of the FGC rules? Shoot me a PM and we will go over the details.

Ok, Daemonknight/Marlin posted a recruitment thread to come here.  I like the idea and the rules, but what factions are open right now?  The list at the front of this thread is outdated. (either the '62 or the '90 game)

[Marlin]

All factions are quite open, no one is really closed. Some have more players than others, though.

What would you be interested in?

Clans, IS?

You should pull yourself a map and take a look, there are some changes from the "normal" universe. You might not be happy as a Lyran, for example..

[swang]

Preferably IS, but wherever it's needed is fine with me.  I don't mind being the only 1 or 2 of a faction, I'm comfortable with spreadsheets and formula.  Because of my schedule, I'm not really able to do MM, so unfortunately that's out.  Basically, the only action I get will be fiddling around with spreadsheets and combat threads...

PS.  Another reason why I kind of avoid MM is because I'm a contributor.  (And yes, I've looked at the RNG.)  I don't want any static about how I put in "if (player.name == "swang" && unit.isAttacking)) then roll = 12;"  I didn't, I swear.

[Dave Baughman]

Welcome aboard, Swang! As Marlin mentioned earlier, most of the factions in the game are open to players - just let us know what you're interested in and we'll do our best to accomodate. Also, please don't feel under any special pressure to MegaMek - a lot of the focus these days is on the roleplaying and strategy gaming end, after all.

[swang]

Is the Terran Hegemony Player ran?  If so, that would be of interest.  Otherwise, FWL, Skye or MoC, whichever that needs the most help.

[Marlin]

The Terran scum worlds are GM Faction.. and many Clans are working hard to take it down..

Skye.. hmm.. its under heavy pressure and Robert Kelswa-Steiner is currently guest of Clan Jade Falcon..

FWL and Moc Would certainly be grateful for another player. At least I think so.

[Daemonknight]

Like Marlin said, TH is the GM faction

Skye has essentially ceased to exist as a player faction: whats left of it is being absorbed by Arc Royal, and Archon Bobby KS is currently one of my(CJF) characters, because we rescued him from certin execution by the AR Martyrs. MoC i thought had a player, not sure. FWL is run by Chaos, and I'm sure he'd enjoy having someone else to run amok with, especially now that he's got a Clan to run aswell.

[swang]

Ok, I didn't realize that Chaos is getting a reward.  If he's getting the civil war, I can volunteer to play the rebels?  And after I get taken apart, I can go do something else?

[chaosxtreme]

Aww they like me. They really really like me. :-)

grumble, grumble, grumble... damn newbies!

Hello everyone,

Someone (I won't mention any names, but you know who you are ) has decided to recruit me back into the game. As I understand it, every faction could use players and some are playerless at the moment. While I do have my own favourite Factions, before I write down any, maybe someone could tell me which ones are the most in need of a player. (That is, if you'll want me )

[Iron Mongoose]

Since my intrest is up enough, I might jump back in too.  How can I push so long for then, and then not see it out?  But largely in the role I was in before I took on too many other roles, as the second player or third player in a faction that can pretty much handle its self.  I just want to do a bit of RP, perhaps as the children of my cherictors, or grand children in the Clans.  Corrine's daughter should be in her 30s in 20 years if memory serves, so she could be up to something, and Kimmy Cha may have settled down with someone (though she'd only be in her late 50s, so unless there was a political ouster there'd be no age related reason to retire).  And Amy and Kenshin's sibko should be 21 or 22, so there's a pool of house Lynn warriors with some really excelent mechwarrior potental in them.

But, as I said when I left last time, I wanted to spend time on the other game, and on other things, so I won't be able to run a faction or do much more than just pitch some ideas and write some stories.
