Hello!

Random stuff about me added at random times spurred on by random impulses

BattleTech

I enjoy probably 90% of what takes place outside of the Inner Sphere. More like 70% for events on the inside. The Periphery is where I like to roam.

I am a fan of the Draconis Combine. Just thought I would get that out of the way. lol

The Periphery (original run) is my favorite sourcebook of all time. I love every single bit of fluff inside that old cover with the Oberon Confederation space suited skeleton. Anyone know that guy's name? :) Think I'll keep calling him Eddie.

I like the Taurian Concordat and Magistracy of Canopus, and the Raven Alliance is incredibly intriguing in my opinion. They are more or less my favorite Periphery State of the old classics right now, though I still like the others.

The Marian Hegemony is awesome too. Space Romans vae victus!

What's cooler than the Marians? The Escorpio Imperio! Can't wait to learn more about that!

I like the Clans, and I have ever since the BattleTech Compendium and Technical Readout: 3050. I remember the complainers too, they have yet to be culled for their insolent lack of faith. I think Seafox/Diamondshark/Seafox is the coolest clan, though I like the Wolves, Bears and Falcons each for their own reasons. I feel the writers did a wonderful job making the Jags the big bad boogeyman who gets slain on the alter of good versus evil in a universe full of ambiguous moral choices.

I often wonder (lol), what is going on spinward? The Jarnfolk are said to trade up to 1,000 light years spinward of their little cluster. That is a lot of space to cover for trading, must be good reasons! That is what I like about the Periphery--the possibilities. (It is also claimed that the Jarnfolk warn of a highly aggressive militant culture out in the deeps of space. Most likely they speak of the Clans, but ya never really know for sure, do you?)

Regarding Me Personally

In college I was a tutor of English, Literature, Poetry, Business Communications, a course I never actually took, but when I protested, my boss, Herr Director of Library Services said it did not matter. I was aghast at hearing that, but it seems the Boss was right; my students went from E and D grades to B's and A's. I worked directly for my institution, by the way, and also instructed ESL labs. Toward the end I tutored all classes that had a non-math textbook component, regardless of whether or not I actually took the course.

I am a moderator at a video game website elsewhere on the web. I am taking a voluntary vacation from it since I have been hard at it for years. This is a pleasant diversion. If you are wondering where, and I doubt you are lol, the site is TradeWars: Rising. Google it. My name there is rebelscum.

I may or may not have signed up here in the past under that name, and may or may not have flamed out like a petulant little child. :) Such is life. Obviously, I have turned over a new leaf. This is actually one of the best wikis on the web (in my humble opinion). Sarna is a bastion of brotherhood and esprit de corps compared to many places on the net.

I love to write, but I think the only thing I like more than writing is reading a well-written story.
