I don ' t hold Obama or anyone else accountable for that person ' s comment . I am just saying that it is not as uncommon as some would believe . <| sep |> No idea , didn ' t even notice that they picked attackers on defence until now . This was one of my most fucked up matches of all time . <| sep |> Don ' t pledge loyalty if you can help it . PGI made it so that if you pledge loyalty to a faction , you ' re stuck with it . Abandoning it will forfeit half of the Loyalty Points you ' ve earned which can be a lot if you spent enough time in the faction to earn mechbays or something . So if I were doing it for the loyalty rewards , I would only pledge loyalty to a faction that you ' ll only join once , earn the rewards , leave , and never want to join again . Because if you did , you ' d have to grind out the 50 % loyalty points you lost before you start gaining ground again .
