Originally I was a Wolf, but since FM:CC was published I am a Blood Spirit(and proud of it!) wit a soft spot for Clans Fire Mandrill, Ice Hellion, Goliath Scorpion, Wolf and Diamond Shark.
My favorite was Wolf before the Refusal War and Invading Clans. I then switched to Diamond Shark. With the FMs I added Star Adder to my favs.

So many of them?
Yup. I couldn't decide....
Seriously though, to avoid any misunderstandings: I've only ever played as a Wolf, a Blood Spirit and (once) as a Fire Mandrill.
I therefore consider myself a Blood Spirit. Over at the CBT forums I also display the Blood Spirit insignia.
The others are just those Clans that for one reason or another I respect enough that I consider to choose them as a possible future secondary affiliation(I will always remain a Blood Spirit at heart...) in case that my beloved Blood Spirits should actually suffer eventual extinction (as hinted in the novel Blood Avatar...).
Oh and btw: There are only three Clans which I do not like at all: Clans Jade Falcon, Star Adder and Steel Viper. All others are (in my opinion at least) somewhat interesting to me because of their special aspects.
Ciao

I have 4 favourite Clans: Ghost Bear, Ice Hellion, Hell's Horses and Blood Spirit.
And all for different reasons: Ghost Bear for their family approach, Ice Hellion for their speed, Hell's Horses for their doctrine and Blood Spirit for their unique view and "esprit de corps".

I have to count all our new declarations up.
For the record I like Blood Spirits as well but Star Adder to me is the truest Clan. They have sound military reasoning on their side which other Clans lack.

While I am a proud mercenary first and foremost, I do have a choice for a favorite clan. Since I only have the Crusader Clans FM, I know very, very little about the Warden Clans. Of the Crusader Clans I like the Blood Spirits the most with Hell's Horses a close second. What little I have heard about the Ghost Bears leads me to think I would like their philosophy as well.

I therefore consider myself a Blood Spirit.
The reasons I choose Clan Blood Spirit as my main faction are(not necessarily in that order though....):
- their first Khan was a descendant of the last commander of the Royal Black Watch(and bears a German
name )
- their erstwhile idealism to cooperate with and aid the other Clans that was initially accepted but was
eventually rejected by the other Clans and led to their bitterness and hatred towards the other Clans
for feeling betrayed
- that their harsh training procedures produce probably the best warriors quality-wise amongst the Clans,
if even a bit few
- that they are Crusaders but thought the time was not ripe for an invasion of the Inner Sphere
- their fair treatment of civilians and the fact that they grant their members some privacy, even some
hobby
- that they intent to exploit the potential of the ProtoMech
- their isolationism
The Fire Mandrills I like because of their Kindraa system, the Ice Hellions because of their reliance on speed, the Goliath Scorpions I like for their Seeker system, the Diamond Sharks for their warrior-traders and their liberal views and the Wolves... well they were my first faction, so I just like them

True but you might add to them some parts of the Goliath Scorpions (when they are not on a Seeker mode) and Hell's Horses (the only true combined arms clan).

Well it has been along time since I counted all the declarations (February 03, 2007) but here they are. I split the Periphery bums into their favorites as I know them. Hessian I put your Clanner declaration at the bottom because there are no Clans as of yet in the BTSD universe. And Ice I don't see your name anywhere meaning you've never declared only complained on this thread!
8 Federated Suns (Bradshaw, Davion, Davion_Boy, blacktigeractual, Kasaga, Calderon, Panzerfaust 150, Wolfcannon)
8 Terran Republic (Takiro, Knightmare, Wolfspider, Walegrin, cawest, Michael Kerensky, D-ray, CJvR)
2 Free Worlds League (Miss Kotare, Rainbow 6)
2 Taurian Concordat (Irose, master arminas)
1 Outworlds Alliance (AmBeth)
1 Lyran Commonwealth (FirstStarLord)
1 Draconis Combine (Sir Robin)
1 Mercenary (MechRat)
1 any LAM faction (d100)
1 Clanner (Hessian)

I can only advise you to try and get FM:WC as (like FM:CC) it is an enjoyable and informative read.
