Who Would You Join?

Nubclear · July 12, 2002, 01:42

As requested....hehehe.

Mr. President · July 12, 2002, 04:21

Live from Madison Square Garden, it's Capitalist Vs. Communist Gladiators, Part II! They're starting up the chainsaws even as we speak!

I'm not even touching the question, this time.

Panzer · July 12, 2002, 04:39

I think I've got deja-vu.......

waab · July 12, 2002, 05:28

Free Drones of course, to long has the capitalist lived on the working class

But this one includes SMAX factions.

Conciousness!

Adalbertus · July 12, 2002, 13:23

Still Uni. Despite of their lack of ethics.

Lazerus · July 12, 2002, 15:08

If i had a high status in the hive then i'd go for that, otherwise Consciousness

waab · July 12, 2002, 17:10

Why do everybody wants to become a "halfcomputer"?

EnsRegis · July 12, 2002, 18:37

I can't get the stupid poll to work, but I'd join the Data Angels. I like freedom of information, and the leader is a hottie. :-)

Method · July 12, 2002, 18:42

i think it would be more just like hightened reflexes, and being super-smart. i think "halfcomputer" in this sense is a good thing

Jac de Molay · July 12, 2002, 23:05

The Beerdrinkers, of course.

+1 efficiency must utilize financial resources efficiently in order to buy as much beer as possible.

+1 morale beer makes you gung-ho

-2 knowledge beer makes you dumber

Rec commons at every base.

May not use police state SE option - drunks don't like cops

I second that

Actually, beer makes you smarter. You know, beer kills brain cells. This is like a herd of sheep attacked by wolfs. The slowest sheep gets caught, and the herd in its average runs faster, and doesn't have to wait for the slower. So, beer kills the dumbest brain cells and the rest will be brighter.

I'd join the Pirates. Everyone else is far too inflexible with their social engineering agendas. The Pirates can pick any social engineering choice based on what is needed, not because they have a doctrine to follow.

Behind them, I'd join the Free Drones, as they are a natural choice for me since I'm a socialist.

I might possibly join the Angels, or the Consciousness, but I don't know anything about hacking and I don't like the idea of sharing brainspace with a sentient AI.

Maniac · July 13, 2002, 14:44

I switched my vote from UoP to the Cybenetic Consciousness.

Method · July 13, 2002, 15:09

now that i think of it, i'd probably join the pirates too. i think it'd be kinda cool living at sea

Iskandar Reza · July 13, 2002, 16:43

You'll get seasick. And you have to eat fish or sealurks everyday.

Method · July 13, 2002, 16:59

well for all you know, sealurk is good

arktiem · July 13, 2002, 21:31

Hey there, all!!

For me... I was torn between two factions for which I have very close ties, but in the end I will have to say - Gaia's Stepdaughters all the way.

Walk with Planet!

You know, for a long time I was like that, Until I realise that it's more profitable to be a planet raping capitalist bastard.

Morgan! Morgan! Yeah

And Pirates. Pillage and Burn!

Kassiopeia · July 13, 2002, 22:46

Ugh. Time to go to bed (5:46 AM local time). I'm seeing things in two.

Then again, a repolling might be in order - I voted UoP the last time but I think I'll go for the Consciousness this time. The idea of getting cybernetic augmentation and eternal logical longevity has it's points. Emotion sucks.

Do I sense an unpleasant experience with some significant individual here?

Clear Skies · July 14, 2002, 06:14

Consciousness out in front! Yay!

waab · July 14, 2002, 06:22

My god, everybody wants to become a computer with no emotions...are you all mad?

Clear Skies · July 14, 2002, 06:31

No way. Anyway, Aki isn't 100% emotionless - haven't you ever seen her get mad at you after committing an atrocity? And just imagine what it'd be like to have a computer living in your brain...you'd be able to do all sorts of calculations, have enhanced abilities, everything!

Jethro83 · July 14, 2002, 06:40

But the question remains: Who is in control? You? Or the AI you're sharing your brain with?

Personally, I'd think that the latter would hold more control.

Clear Skies · July 14, 2002, 06:48

I think definitely the individual. I'd go through the whole process of explanation, but it'd probably be quicker if you just read Unity (do a search in the AC-fiction forum).

Vlad Antlerkov · July 14, 2002, 06:53

The Gaians, for... obvious reasons.

If not the Gaians, then the University or the Pirates (Yarrr!

)...

As long as she shaves her armpits. Unless you go for that "natural" look, that is

Besides the glorious BeerDrinkers, I go for Gaians, then the peacekeepers. I'm a lover, not a fighter. I like both of them for pacifist tendencies. And im sure the Gaians make a kick-ass home-made beer.

Iskandar Reza · July 14, 2002, 11:09

Sporeflower Malt Liquor.

Pirates. Not only because they prolly drink beer

but because of their flexibility. And with the marine detatchment ability, you definitely control the sea. And the amount of energy you get (minus the fact that solar collecter farms and borehole plantations produce more) is absolutely astounding. Besides, since you're so mobile, shouldn't be difficult to find a nice island to make your collector farms anyway. And foil supplies are pretty cheap. Easy to rush build or crawl resources. No need to pepper the area with roads, obviously. One more terraforming step not necessary.
