If you were on the U.N.S. Unity...

General Ludd · February 8, 2002, 23:44

I would deffinately of gone with the Gaians.

(I didn't include the factions from Alien Crossfire, because they are not very ideology centered, but based more on agendas specific to that enviroment.)

Do you enjoy running nude through the trees?

Yes, provided it's not too cold.

But that's hardly the sole basis of Gaian beliefs, it's merely a perk.

The Mad Monk · February 9, 2002, 01:16

UoP, it's for me!

The Mad Monk · February 9, 2002, 01:18

All right, who's the misguided soul who chose the HIVE?!

...remember, you're joining it, not leading it!

Our Spartan armies would wait until all you others build your bases and build your mines and farms and then we would come in and take it all away.

Superior training and superior weaponry have, when taken together,
a geometric effect on overall military strength. Well-trained,
well-equipped troops can stand up to many more times their lesser
brethren than linear arithmetic would seem to indicate.

Peacekeepers. UoP would be fine but I'm not really into the business of unethical research (actually, I would do it without stopping myself even if I had objections... this would be bad). Gaians would be, I believe, my second choice.

And Morganites on the off chance that I'd get to join the cyborgs

.

Stefu · February 9, 2002, 04:35

Osweld, your avatar somehow fits your post.

Anyway, I'd go with Morganites. Morganites know how to party. Decadence, baby!

Imran Siddiqui · February 9, 2002, 05:05

Morganite, of course.

And after they wrote me into the story as a Morgan, how can I refuse

Az · February 9, 2002, 06:59

UoP

Paul Hanson · February 9, 2002, 07:04

The Peacekeepers.

General Ludd · February 9, 2002, 10:19

I didn't expect the University and Morgans to get so many votes.

Az · February 9, 2002, 10:31

UoP! UoP!
:P

Osweld , why don't you like them?

The Mad Monk · February 9, 2002, 10:48

Why? We're a bunch of geeks here--UoP has all the cool tech, and the Morganites have all the nifty toys!

General Ludd · February 9, 2002, 10:50

This doesn't belong in the AC forum - it doesn't really have anything to do with the game. I was asking it for purposes of comparing ideologies.

Cybergod · February 9, 2002, 11:33

I believe that I would have joined the Gaians. Partly because of Deidre

partly because I share their beliefs.

General Ludd · February 9, 2002, 11:44

Maybe moving this thread wasn't such a bad idea, now we've got another two gaians.

loinburger · February 9, 2002, 13:17

Peacekeepers. Extra transcend per four population? Count me in.

spartak · February 9, 2002, 14:34

UoP

Dr.Oogkloot · February 9, 2002, 15:33

University or Hive.

Adalbertus · February 9, 2002, 15:46

University. Hmm. Perhaps with a more moral attitude as the Believers. But not that fanatic. And led by Deirdre

Or: The Planetarian Singers. A new faction mainly trying to combine the Song of Planet with Bachs polyphony. Not so much interested in anything else:
+2 Planet (want to study Song of Planet)
+1 Research (want to study Song of Planet)
+2 Probe (don't think of anything else)
-2 Growth (don't think of anything else)
-1 Economy (who cares?)
-1 Industry (who cares?)
Free musical practising room at every base. 1 (musical) talent every 4 citizens.

To be balanced ...

Vlad Antlerkov · February 9, 2002, 17:12

University, though PKs and Gaians would be my second choices.

If there were an "Evil Empire" faction (I don't think the Hive qualifies, on account of not being evil enough), I'd join

Blake · February 9, 2002, 17:56

Morganites for Me

.
Altough, I would probably leave with the Datajack crowd. They have the best values. (Wealth or Knowledge, rather than Power)

My second choice would be UoP, then Gaians, PK's, Spartans, Hive, Believers.
I'm not sure what would be so bad about living in the Hive, under Police State / Planned atleast life would be simple. Add Wealth and it might even be enjoyable.
And the Believers come last because of there research, they are more than 10 years behind getting Cent Eco and anything even close to civilisation.

(Someone mentioned joining the Morgans on the off chance of joining the cyborgs, but IIRC the Cyborgs are a splinter group from UoP)

wgabrie · February 9, 2002, 18:16

I'm sorry to anyone who hates Sister Miriam, but I'd have to go with the Believers.

Of course Sister Miriam's escape pod was cut off from the rest of the ship. The only reason she ended up there was because she fled the UoP. Here is a new equation: Some of you might be stuck on Miriam's Pod, and have to go with the Believers or die on the Unity.

PS/Planned to FM/Wealth in one year, I think this is exactly the problem the people of east Germany had to face. And I think (being from west Germany) this is a huge difference, especially in terms of a "simple life". No wonder there is the "eastalgia" -- the german "Ostalgie" gives the better pun -- of many. Life has become much more complex and difficult.

I'm in!

But, since no such faction existed on Unity (A downright shame), I chose University.
