Janu Hull Caldari Order of Z Industries	Posted - 2007.05.14 20:39:00 - [61] For arguement's sake, and for the sake of keeping politics down to a dullwitted roar, think of Gallente democracy in the sense of being a stand in for Western Civilization as a gestalt. Its form and function would seem to be quite American, with its centralized government, directly elected executive office, with a very Euro flavor in the sense that its "states" are more politically independent entities than the American states are. 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...
Tobias Sjodin Caldari Ore Mongers R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.05.14 20:41:00 - [62] I chose Caldari because the rest came off as being more or less in the closet.
Kedryn Caitin	Posted - 2007.05.14 21:29:00 - [63] Originally by: Tobias Sjodin I chose Caldari because the rest came off as being more or less in the closet. Ah, so Caldari as a faction admit to being openly * and mainly populated by *suckers? Good for them. (While I hate to use * as it is so frequently used by the "Whatever Generation" I could not pass up the comment.) I chose to go Gal Fed as it came across as harboring the most personal freedom and as the most hedonistic of the groups. There are other reasons I passed on the other factions but I will just pass on the whys and wherefores.

Gariuys Evil Strangers Inc.	Posted - 2007.05.14 22:24:00 - [68] 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. American way... I feel strangely insulted... I picked intaki cause they're the only ones that didn't sound like total freaks in the discription and got to play with Electronic warfare... neither turned out quite like I planned.
Arakidias	Posted - 2007.05.14 22:36:00 - [69] Chose Caldari because of their description as an efficient military race. I knew fck all about their gaming stats at the time. Explains why perception is my second lowest stat... actually it occupies the lowest tier together with charisma..
Kylar Renpurs	Posted - 2007.05.14 22:41:00 - [70] It's odd that people compare the US to gallente or caldari, personally I find them neither, but I wont say why so i dont spark political ire. I chose Caldari because of a couple reasons. A) They've got the smallest, but arguably the most powerful navy. B) They're a breakaway state (fought for independance) C) They're a fairly regimented + disciplined society. D) Deteis Avatars rock Improve Market Competition!
Pao An	Posted - 2007.05.14 22:55:00 - [71] Originally by: Janu Hull For arguement's sake, and for the sake of keeping politics down to a dullwitted roar, think of Gallente democracy in the sense of being a stand in for Western Civilization as a gestalt. Its form and function would seem to be quite American, with its centralized government, directly elected executive office, with a very Euro flavor in the sense that its "states" are more politically independent entities than the American states are. The US has a very decentralised political system. Yes there is a unified foreign policy but internaly the states control alot. If anything the Gallente strike me as being far more gilded age US than anything remotely European. After all the Gallente are a decentralised democracy with a very free market. They have a vast disparity between the rich and the poor. They do not have a social saftey net . They prize individual liberty above everything else that is more an American thing than a European thing. The Caldari on the other hand are clearly Japan.
6Bagheera9 Shadows of the Dead Aftermath Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.14 23:04:00 - [72] I choose Minmatar because I thought the Brutor chick from "choose your race" screen was hot.
Misanth X-Fire	Posted - 2007.05.14 23:06:00 - [73] First chara - Minmatar, because of some RP idea I can't even remember anymore Second chara - Gallente, because the minmatar ships were so ugly Thir chara (this) - Amarr, finally found the best looking ships around! Fourth (most recent alt) - Caldari, because of PvE, farm isk for me while the others can focus on PvP - all of them combat pilots - Looks of ships > everything else. The one and only reason to choose Amarr. :) --- bring back the pvp to EVE --- Remove local, remove all non-dictor bubbles, remove capital ships, re-move the hp boost and put 'nos hardpoints' (0-1 on non-amarrian ships, 1 on amarr ships, 3 on
Xelios Minmatar The Collective Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2007.05.14 23:07:00 - [74] I chose minmatar because the Rifter was the ultimate pwnboat when EVE first started. And cause the chick on this poster was hot.
Ezekiel Sulastin Gallente Direct Intent	Posted - 2007.05.14 23:20:00 - [75] I went Intaki because I liked the idea of the pragmatic philosophers, and none of the other major factions really clicked for me. Granted, I'm now an Acolyte of the Church of Blasters, so maybe it wasn't all bad ...
Sqalevon Masuat'aa Matari	Posted - 2007.05.14 23:56:00 - [76] I choose Sebiestor / Minmatar because I liked their background story. The underdogs, with the sebiestors excelling at engineering. The fortunes of the Minmatars have ebbed and flowed continuously. At one time they had a flourishing empire with a level of mechanical excellence never before or since seen anywhere. A tough, no-nonsense race, the Minmatars are a determined and independent people. For the Minmatars, the most important thing in life is to be able to take care of yourself on your own, and although kin and family play an important role in their society, they prefer identifying themselves by the clan or tribe to which they belong. The Sebiestor tribe hails from the inhospitable steppes of the Mikramurka continent in the northern artic region on Matar. The Sebiestors are the most technically inclined of the Minmatar tribes and were at the forefront in the tentative space exploration program the Minmatars were undertaking just before the Amarrians arrived. Today, most of the Minmatar ships and stations are engineered by Sebiestors. The Sebiestors are technically and mechanically inclined, most Minmatar technology comes from them. The Sebiestors have always been the leading tribe in the Minmatar Republic. I'm a sucker for mechanical engineering ( I study it IRL ) and thought the Sebiestor would be the most fitting for me. When I started the game I thought I could research variations of modules ( tech 3 might bring this ). Also the whole previous enslavement thing is something I liked to play with from a RP perspective.
Toros Revoke STK Scientific Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.05.15 00:28:00 - [77] Originally by: Constantine Arcanum That's like saying scottish people are technically english. That may be the case if the landmass we both live on were called England, except for the fact that it's called Briton.
Ogedei	Posted - 2007.05.15 00:37:00 - [78] Originally by: R'olyat I honestly don't know what the hell i was thinking, the Jin-mei are the most generic Chinese race ive ever seen, and all the chicks look the EXACT same! lol urs got a ****** moustache
Maugrem Moorgraves Minmatar	Posted - 2007.05.15 00:44:00 - [79] I guess I chose Minmitar because it seemed as if it was a race that was counted out. I like the feeling of making something from nothing. They are a people with nothing to lose and the world to gain. With no moral hindrances to obstruct their path. Essentially, I saw this as an ideal race to build characters around. I look forward to doing just that. ______________________________________________ "The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low, and we achieve it." --Michaelangelo
smashsmash	Posted - 2007.05.15 00:53:00 - [80] if it makes you feel better i think amarr are more american sounding than gallente :p i'm an american too Originally by: Gariuys 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. American way... I feel strangely insulted...

kessah Caldari The Arrow Project Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.05.15 01:30:00 - [82] I would of said: Gallente - UK, or europe suppose. Minmatar - The Russians, i mean common, if it again broke dont fix it, why develop a 3million dollar pen to work in space when u can use a pencil sorta attitude - love em :) Amarr... Well middle east and the mid-west of the US i guess lol Caldari - East Coast US? only use Minmatar Technology, but i chose caldari because i happend to make kessah look fairly hot and well better to log on looking at some hot chick than some muscly brutor male... --------------------------------------------------------
Sovereign533 Caldari The Collective Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2007.05.15 01:33:00 - [83] Caldari, cause Caldari is a Corporate Republic. you work for the State. Caldari have the most technologically advanced systems. well, Technologically advanced and evil ruthless ruling with loyal and hard working citizens. (btw, Gallente are more like the US. they have 1 "elected" leader. and try to force their "freedom" onto other civilisations, like they tried on the Caldari and Minmatar. the Caldari fought back, the Minmatar found an ally to free them from the Amarr. the Gallente haven't attacked the Amarr YET because they have enough trouble with the Caldari State.) btw, we Caldari want Caldari Prime back from those damn Gallente pigs =p signature removed - please email us to find out why - Jacques([email protected])
Ben Derindar Dirty Deeds Corp. Axiom Empire	Posted - 2007.05.15 01:36:00 - [84] At first I considered being Minmatar, but then I worried that everyone else already in the game was buying into the whole cliched OMG FREEDOM ideal, and I didn't want to pick what I figured would be the most popular choice. How ironic it was then, that I chose Caldari instead... /Ben How to fix Eve
Cipher7 Keepers of the Holy Bagel SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.15 02:23:00 - [85] Edited by: Cipher7 on 15/05/2007 02:21:35 My first character was a Caldari, and I love that race except Caldari space is freakin overcrowded and you can never find a place to do a mission without 80 people being in local. If I had to choose my attitude in RL, it would be Caldari, basically I'm a libertarian capitalist, my attitude is "take your politics, social issues and religion and shove it. Let the market be free, let people trade with each other, let them work hard and make the cheddar, regardless of race, religion, sex, etc. No racism, no affirmative action, no perks, no reparations, just a totally free market with minimal taxes. If someone wants to buy coke and be a junkie, that's their life, when they run out of money they can die in a gutter, they chose their path. You believe Jesus is Lord? Awesome, I'm happy you found the truth, keep it to yourself because I don't really wanna hear it." In the end I had to go with Minmatar. Caldari - As I said too crowded, but awesome backstory. Gallente - Too liberal. Plus the stations all look like shopping malls. Oh yeah, that makes you feel like a real tough guy, sit in your battlecruiser in the middle of Wal Mart. Minmatar - Excellent backstory, tribalism is pretty cool, cool portraits, the ships have sails, and they are pretty capitalist/libertarian just like the Caldari. I bet you can get drugs/guns anywhere in Minnie space without any problems. The stations look cool. Arty is cool. Autocannons are cool. Overall its just a sexy race. Amarr - Romans. Very cool concept. I love the curved beak thing. The race overall is sexy as hell. The Providence freighter is the sexiest ship I have ever beheld.
Mink Latur Amarr Private Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.05.15 02:56:00 - [86] Originally by: Ethan Hunte Gallente = Freedom, truth, justice, and the American way lol Wow... four words and three of them contradict one other absolutely... find out which, i left a hint in the qoute. Remove all safety labels, give evolution a chance.
Kylar Renpurs	Posted - 2007.05.15 03:12:00 - [87] Edited by: Kylar Renpurs on 15/05/2007 03:10:34 Originally by: Sovereign533 btw, we Caldari want Caldari Prime back from those damn Gallente pigs =p Right on brother! Burn the pigdogs! (kinda appropriate since Gallente Navy is vulnerable to thermal) Improve Market Competition!
Rhaegor Stormborn Sturmgrenadier Inc R i s e	Posted - 2007.05.15 03:14:00 - [88] If your going with real life analogies: Caldari = USA Gallante = French Amarr = Iran Minmatar = ?
Pao An	Posted - 2007.05.15 04:11:00 - [89] Originally by: Rhaegor Stormborn If your going with real life analogies: Caldari = USA Gallante = French Amarr = Iran Minmatar = ? Caldari = Japan (Kieritsu dominated corp republic Gallente = US/EU (Free Market democracy) Minmatar = ? Amarr = Byzantine Empire in SPAAACE
Acinonyx Jubatus International Multi-Player Consortium Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.05.15 04:15:00 - [90] Tribal underdogs... Or something to that effect, basically the "savages" or what have ye.
