Ethan Hunte	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:37:00 - [1] I chose my race based on the descriptions when I got the trial. Amarr = Enslavers, terrible. Minmatarr = Former enslaved Calderi = Can't remember Gallente = Freedom, truth, justice, and the American way lol I imagine that's why more people are Gallente, or am I wrong and the balance of players per race are not that unequal.
wierchas noobhunter Celtic Anarchy Anarchy Empire	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:38:00 - [2] Originally by: Ethan Hunte Gallente = Freedom, truth, justice, and the American way lol WTF ?
Ma'Kur Pridar Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:39:00 - [3] american? lol, they are french bud.
ToxicFire Phoenix Knights Dark Nebula Galactic Empire	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:39:00 - [4] Actually I'd say more people these days are caldari, simply because theres so many fircken industry alts in the game currently and they've all chosen the best starting path which is caldari. Sig removed as it lacks EVE-related content. Mail [email protected] if you have questions. -Hango
Esaam DeVries Infinite Improbability Inc Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:42:00 - [5] Edited by: Esaam DeVries on 14/05/2007 16:39:41 I chose gallente, because all the others are ugly (including the emperor's mom). -- http://www.evetrust.com
Lavinrac Krad	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:42:00 - [6] Originally by: Ethan Hunte Gallente = Freedom, truth, justice, and the American way lol I thought that is Caldari (Corporate run society) for the Northern US States and Amarr (Religion run society) for the Southern US States? Unless you are talking about the Canadians being Gallente (They are on the continent of North America and technically Americans)
Constantine Arcanum IMPERIAL SENATE Pure.	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:44:00 - [7] Originally by: Lavinrac Krad Originally by: Ethan Hunte Gallente = Freedom, truth, justice, and the American way lol I thought that is Caldari (Corporate run society) for the Northern US States and Amarr (Religion run society) for the Southern US States? Unless you are talking about the Canadians being Gallente (They are on the continent of North America and technically Americans) That's like saying scottish people are technically english.
Ryas Nia Minmatar Stormriders Fimbulwinter	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:45:00 - [8] was an easy choice for me, Minmatar, terrorists, freedom fighters, ex slaves, lots of good material for a solid RP base. Recruiting Terrorists
Lavinrac Krad	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:45:00 - [9] Originally by: Constantine Arcanum Originally by: Lavinrac Krad Originally by: Ethan Hunte Gallente = Freedom, truth, justice, and the American way lol I thought that is Caldari (Corporate run society) for the Northern US States and Amarr (Religion run society) for the Southern US States?

Should of won that War and the English would be known as Scottish! Well technically...
Igus	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:48:00 - [10] Amarr = Religious fanatics = Middle East Minmatarr = who really cares Calderi = Corp *****s = US Gallente = EU
Bistot Kid The First Thing You'll Ever See	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:51:00 - [11] Originally by: Lavinrac Krad Should of won that War and the English would be known as Scottish! Well technically... Luckily the Scotch still managed to get beaten despite trying a sneaky attack in the middle of the night, after the English soldiers had been drinking in honour of the king's birthday. (*) Actually from memory I think they never even made it to the English encampment and were forced to retire half way through the night, and then were too tired to turn up to the battle the next day. LOL. ------------------------------------- Hold my calls and sack my cook -------------------------------------
Derovius Vaden	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:52:00 - [12] Originally by: Ethan Hunte I chose my race based on the descriptions when I got the trial. Amarr = Enslavers, terrible. Minmatarr = Former enslaved Calderi = Can't remember Gallente = Freedom, truth, justice, and the American way lol I imagine that's why more people are Gallente, or am I wrong and the balance of players per race are not that unequal. Amarrians: always struck me as Roman, the whole "enslave everything" ideal, Emperor being all powerful, etc. Minmatar: Goths/Visogoths/Celts/Britons from the Dark Ages, being covered in dirt, generally smelly... Caldari: Cross between German Engineering and Japanese dronism. Gallente: French, overtly French.
Janu Hull Caldari Order of Z Industries	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:52:00 - [13] Caldari - for the PvE capability. The more I read about the Caldari, the more they remind me of the Japanese kiritsus than anything American. American companies do not have that tight an old boy's network. Not in this day and age. This is my sig, there are many others just like it. With me, my sig is worthless. Without (or with even) my sig, I am worthless...
Ecchus Minmatar Egbinger Mining Co	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:54:00 - [14] Edited by: Ecchus on 14/05/2007 17:00:15 I chose mine because I wanted the ugliest possible face. :D edit Canadians are NORTH Americans, which is distinct from just being Americans since that implies being from the US. If you're using "American" in the sense of "anyone from the Americas" then technically people from Uruguay are Americans too. People from Scotland on the other hand aren't English, they're just silly gits. ========== Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee.. - Melville.
Ysira Amarr Mortis et Excidium Cold Steel Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.14 16:55:00 - [15] Amarr because of shiny golden ships, pew pewing lasers and the beautiful Apocalypse. Also the slaving and religious zealot background is a nice bonus.

Aindrias Amarr Fomus-Amarr Industrial Novus Ordos Seclorum	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:08:00 - [17] Originally by: Ryas Nia was an easy choice for me, Minmatar, terrorists, freedom fighters, ex slaves, lots of good material for a solid RP base. I chose Amarr for the similar reasons. Good back story with the Minmatar! =-) Also because they reminded me of the Centauri of B5 (yes.. sue me...) and the Min's being Narn. I sorta think the Gals are the Earth Alliance and... well.. I don't think the Caldari have an equivalent in B5... so it's not that great of a comparison. =-) Aind See what you can do with Paintbrush?
Krav Egad Inc. Sparta Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:12:00 - [18] Originally by: Ethan Hunte I chose my race based on the descriptions when I got the trial. Amarr = Enslavers, terrible. Minmatarr = Former enslaved Calderi = Can't remember Gallente = Freedom, truth, justice, and the American way lol Amarr = enslavers, so no. Minmatar = slaves, and ugly, and duct tape, so no. Gallente = French, and typical democractic nation, so boring Caldari = tough guy looks and muscle? Best choice. Now that I've had a chance to experience different race's ships, I'm probably more amarr than caldari or anything else. But alas, zee race is final. ===== Stacking Penalties and you
Ma'Kur Pridar Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:16:00 - [19] I chose mine because i like big guns.
Hari Markkus	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:16:00 - [20] I picked Caldari for two reasons, missiles and shield tanking. In those days I did not realise that you could train for any races ships. If I was to re-roll, I would pick Amarr, Khanid. Cause then you get great perception and willpower. Cause youu see, I care about the back story about as much as CCP do.
Lavinrac Krad	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:18:00 - [21] Oh and I chose Achura because we are sexy!
Bistot Kid The First Thing You'll Ever See	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:20:00 - [22] Originally by: Aindrias I chose Amarr for the similar reasons.

I don't think the Caldari have an equivalent in B5... so it's not that great of a comparison. =-) Aind You are spot on with the Amarr and Minmatar. I'd say Caldari are more like Earth Alliance, and the Jove are Minbari. This leaves the Gallente out in the cold. It also leaves me very scared, if the Jove are Minbari, what do we do when the Vorlons and Shadows turn up? ------------------------------------- Hold my calls and sack my cook -------------------------------------
The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:22:00 - [23] Chose Gallente for the Democracy etc. Plus it was one of the few () races that didn't seem generic. ----------------------------------------------- "And I scream in a thousand voices!"
Mashon Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:25:00 - [24] Originally by: Ryas Nia was an easy choice for me, Minmatar, terrorists, freedom fighters, ex slaves, lots of good material for a solid RP base. Chose Minmatar for similar reasons too!! The backstory's cool, I didn't feel the Religion race all too well, the other ones...eh..
Wild Rho Amarr GoonFleet	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:27:00 - [25] Originally by: Ethan Hunte Gallente = Freedom, truth, justice, and the American way lol The joke's on you, Gallente are French :P
Ikasu Gallente The Durandal Organization The Cyrene Initiative	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:30:00 - [26] I chose Gallente because, despite being french in origin, they seemed very American-like. Democracy, feeling the need to try to police space, and of course advertising freedom as their main ideal. The federation is, essentially, America in space. Other then that, I felt like being whatever race would make the best generic Hero and the Gallente seemed the most noble. Of course, now I know more about their background and it's somewhat more apparent that all four races have their vice. Amarr: Slavery Caldari: Greed Minmater: Wrath Gallente: Lust, alcohol, drugs, etc.

Amarr: Slavery Caldari: Greed Minmater: Wrath Gallente: Lust, alcohol, drugs, etc. I find it funny that someone actually associates Americans with heroism and nobility, while labelling another of the races greedy... But I digress, we don't want this turning political, yes?
Abye Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:47:00 - [28] I was a total noob about game mechanics so I checked the despriptions. Faction Caldari: I liked the backstory of a militaristic state controlled by industrial megacorporations. Gallente sounded like hippies, minmatar like angry emos, and amarr, I had no clue what they were about. Bloodline Achura: Wanted a good looking Avatar, and female Achura are between naughty hot and cute. ___ Inappropriate signature. Please do not use this signature.

But I digress, we don't want this turning political, yes? I think you completely missed my point. I associated Americans with diplomacy and and police action, I associated gallente with heroism and being noble. And that was also when i started the game and knew nothing about Gallente then their starting description. Sorry if I did not make that clear. I also admitted all four races have a vice and, guess what? Gallente has MORE vices then the other three.

But I digress, we don't want this turning political, yes? Unfortunatly, I think it already did. I chose my character because I liked how she looked. Also I wanted to be pirating on my 4th trial at the game and I didn't want to have to train up for a Rifter before I got started :D
