    Oh noz! Biker gangs aren't all flowers and romance in the real world!!??!!??

    I thought they'd all be super cool, woke guys who spend their weekends protesting the school to prison pipeline! Why did no one warn me of this? :face_with_rolling_eyes:

    Probably not as good as bikers for laying smoke, but the antipode handlers and the dog warriors can produce smoke as well. Do you think there will really be even more Ariadna bikers?

    We could get troopers on motorbikes that are not gang members, just like the Mavericks. I wouldn't mind gang members that much, as long as there is no connection to Putin or someone like this. For TAK, I'd prefer professional soldiers on motorbikes, because I tend to agree with Ursun and the Disko King about the professional look that TAK should have.

    Doesn't the skull on Carmen's bike look like the Druze skulls? Is that maybe a hint to her background?

    It's funny that apparently for TAK it's not cool or something, but when I protested the stupid Desperadoes I was told that I was being unreasonable.

    I feel like there is a disconnect here...

    She's not a dynamo or a regular member of TAK, she's just some lady on a bike with a french-ass doggo and a DA pipe wrench. She is a merc that just happens to be available for TAK

    Dynamos, purportedly, are going to be Desperado styled biker gangs rather than "military". People are complaining that TAK is somehow the super disciplined faction...despite the presence of Dog-Warriors(who are painted as having a few Bratva tattoos) and Irmandinos.

    What did you protest about the Desperados? The unfortunate idea to give them Confederate flags, the fact that they are a biker gang or that they are strictly speaking non-military?

    I agree on the first one, I am fine with the other two possible reasons. I can understand someone who does not want to have gangers. The fucking bikies are killing quite a few people in my suburb and race their bikes at nighttime as if they could not hurt other people in traffic by accident. .

    I dunno, all I've heard of them points to being regular military, they're even a huge propaganda piece IIRC

    The Confederate flags ties into them being a biker gang and "non-military". It's the additional part of the bikes themselves(street bikes for a planet that is known for undeveloped areas? especially on a unit that is supposed to be 'hunters' of a woodland species?) and the nonsensical justification of bikes being "part of the culture of the US". Remember that as of right now, USAriadna is also the only faction on Dawn with a breakdown on ethnicities. African and Latino-Americans formed the majority of the security teams while Caucasians and Asian-Americans formed the majority of the science teams.

    I've been under the impression that Cossacks are the "regular military" while Dynamos are something else. I could have it reversed though.

    If you don't understand the difference between an abstraction or a trope and basing something in an actual group of retarded fascist criminals I suppose you would think like that, yes.

    And yet, we have Desperadoes that quite a few people were told to "get over" or that "it means something different here".

    We're talking about a partisan group that get paid a bounty for the scalps of indigenous populace that settlers have displaced and consider as nothing but beasts and some wildly questionable choices in iconography.

    Pardon my intrusion, all that noise made me think this is the Objectification thread of yore. Please go about your business, I'll see myself out.

    Yeah the Ariadna RPG book mentions the city of Dynamo as where the Dynamokon light motorcycles are made, and they are the "Iconic symbol of the Rodina Dynamos, the motorised(sic) Kazak Light Cavalry"

    Nobody said anything about "feminists" or anything related to SJW. Someone made a snarky comment given the precedents set by CB in the past with their "we know your history better than you" attitudes. Someone got upset about it, and I snarked about the fact that I was told to "deal with it".

    Also, if you don't want "politics or SJW grievances" I suggest you change your username.

    Ugh. The RPGs are going to make lore so much more annoying to find.

    I kinda dig Carmen's look. And they can do what they want with mercs. But I really don't want to have any more Ariadnan bike units. I've always felt they seem really out of place. (All bikers not just the ariadnan ones) also feel their kits should come with both mounted and dismounted models.

    it´s easy, its a Russian sectorial, real life russian soldiers and real life spetznats kill and die in the name of Putin every day in Siria, Ukrain, you name it..... fact of life. If that puts someone off there are a lot of other sectorials to go to

    All the bike thing feels out of place, maybe if the bikes become cover when the soldiers dismount or at least they loose impetuose now that they are on foot, that can be nice for the military feel

    It's kinda sad you equate Russia with Putin, and quite narrow-minded

    I don't really care for your backstory. You've come into this thread to complain about feminists and SJWs(a common complaint from a certain crowd that loves to use the slogan you're trying to shoehorn into this universe) with a specific username.

    Yeah, that's not the issue. Kindly excuse yourself from this thread.
