Question: What Faction in the BT universe is the one that you hate the most. I mean if given a chance to stick it to them and cut out their heart with a spoon, which faction would you choose?
For me it is a toss up between the CC and the DC. Both are pretty inept in my opinion and their leadership is a joke for the most part. The most stupidest aspect of both of them is their unwillingness to change with the times in my opinion.
So what is yours?

I agree, as they are currently written...before the whole Jihad storyplot they weren't to bad, now they are the worst thing to happen to Battletech since the cartoon.

I cant' stand the Capellan Confederation. They've had too many eccentric (whacky) leaders of whom Sun Tzu is the biggest weenie of all. And, I just can't abide by their KGB style, fear mongering, internal security methods. After that, the Jade Falcons always struck me as being odd ducks, and the Crusader Wolves bug me, but only because I bought into the storyline that Vlad Ward is a bad guy who hates Phelan and loves Katrina. Of the new stuff, Word of Blake tops my list of factions that can drop dead, which they do. So, I'd still count them as a minor faction not worth investing effort in aside from battletech, timeline trivia.

Hmmm...I guess Ronin mercenary scum cannot really be considered "rivals"...
(woah!, where'd this black dragon in a red circle patch come from!?)

I always wished that the CC would get a Coordinator like Aleisha Liao again just to break the cycle of certified nutcases, megalomaniacs and other creeps running the CC.

I might go for the Capellan Confederation, if only for its fans. Some of the stuff it gets away with in canon is simply beyond belief.
Of course, since Betrayal of Ideals, Clan Wolverine has been climbing the list.

Betrayal of Ideals, is this a new novel or source book or something one can only get by being a member of BattleCorps?

Betrayal of Ideals is a Battlecorps story by Blaine Lee Pardoe. From what I can tell, it's the story of the Wolverines.

I wish they would go back to putting novels out, and get rid of the special must join a club to get novels and short stories ala Battlecrops....
Any ways thanks for the info, guess it will be something else that we are forced to accept as canon, but a majority of players won't see aviable to them do to the way it's released.
Glad to see that TPTB are doing everything they can to tie up all the lose ends and do away with anything that fans latch on too...guess some of us should have picked better factions...

I usually do the mercenary route...so who ever I'm paid enough to destroy/hate.... though I do have some groups I don't mind being a regular part of.

It's a Battlecorps story by Blaine Lee Pardoe that details a radical revision of the Wolverine story. I spewed a fair bit of bile and vitriol about it on CBT when it came out.
I will say that it did have its moments, but you are not missing much.

Kinda sad to hear- I wanted it to make me want to get a subscription.

Well, Betrayal of Clanfans isn't exactly the best content on there.
