Laser Wolf	Posted - 2007.05.15 04:45:00 - [91] Edited by: Laser Wolf on 15/05/2007 04:45:02 Originally by: Wild Rho Originally by: Ethan Hunte Gallente = Freedom, truth, justice, and the American way lol The joke's on you, Gallente are French :P I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberry! Now begone, silly Caldari knnnnnnnniggits, or I shall taunt you a second time! Oh and I chose my race because I had read up before I subscribed and everyone said Caldari was overpowered. They were right :) Missiles cleans the chronometers off everyone else. Plus I get to have an avatar that looks like Ed Harris in The Abyss :)
Militis Kolosok Caldari Praetorian BlackGuard	Posted - 2007.05.15 05:12:00 - [92] I liked the idea of firing missiles so I picked Caldari. Now I wish I went Gallente or Minmatar :\ Oh well, Crows are awesome! Praetorian BlackGuard Now Recruiting!
Pleased StarLight Inc. Prismatic Refraction	Posted - 2007.05.15 06:32:00 - [93] Amarr: Yeah, their ships are purdy. Green and glisteningà But they are oppressors and enslavers. Furthermore they are religious fanatics, which to me reads "no sex". Caldari: Concrete grey, oddly shaped bricks of ships. They seem to have odd stuff poking out of their backs and their males are often bald. Not because of any abundance of testosterone - they just have no hair. Gallente: They've gone with the "organic look" on their ships. Their best battleship looks like a blow dryer. They are French, with an optional moustache. I think the latter goes for their women too. Minmatar: It's about rust. It's about duct tape. It's about speed, and guns that go RA-TA-TA-TA or BOOOM! They are formerly enslaved, tribal, freedom fighters. They have muscles. They're in pitch black space, ready to engage in a fight, and they are wearing shades. Their chicks wear leather. Guess what race I picked.
Amber Leonne Gallente New Eden Technical Institutes	Posted - 2007.05.15 06:50:00 - [94] I choose Gallente early on for one reason, and one reason only. Their description had **** star in it so technically the company could never come give me BS about acting "inappropriately" when they're basically saying my race are leacherous sexfiends
Fenren	Posted - 2007.05.15 08:10:00 - [95] I chose minmatar because i like the duct-tape-a-shotgun-to-my-500-year-old-canoe-and-use-it-as-a-battleship aproach unfortunatluy i wish a had gone for amarr... what better system to use your political maouvering skills in than a religious one? what better whay to make people obey you than saying 'do as i say or GOD wil be mad at you' and then i could have all those erotic dancers in my hangar without having any guilt
6Bagheera9 Shadows of the Dead Aftermath Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.15 08:45:00 - [96] Originally by: Xelios I chose minmatar because the Rifter was the ultimate pwnboat when EVE first started. And cause the chick on this poster was hot. Yeah thats her. I'd so hit that.
DarkFenix Caldari Pilots Of Honour	Posted - 2007.05.15 09:03:00 - [97] I chose Caldari partly because I'm always inclined towards the smaller, high tech race in any sci-fi game and partly because when I started playing Eve they were the best. Period. Cruise kessies, torp caracals and I-win button Scorps.
Leandro Salazar The Blackguard Wolves	Posted - 2007.05.15 09:50:00 - [98] It was all about the uniform with me. I was totally clueless about EVE when I made him. But I am a Star Wars Imperial fanatic, so my path was cleared. I stopped training Caldari for a loooong time after I got my first Moa though lol... - Thank you SkyFlyer! There is no 'n' in turret
XenoPagan Khanid Provincial Vanguard Khanid Provincial Authority	Posted - 2007.05.15 10:05:00 - [99] Chose Amarr because colleague of mine, who has played EVE for years, said (when introducing me to EVE) that "don't pick Amarr- they suck and everybody, even themselves, are hating them" and OF COURSE I had to pick Amarr. Never looked back :D (colleague dosn'St talk to me anymore... he is minny) Chose Khanid specifically because I like their mongolish look and they have their own kingdom :D
Setana Manoro Gallente Firefly Inc.	Posted - 2007.05.15 11:38:00 - [100] Amarr are a bunch of religious zealots who practiced and still practice slavery. No problem with the latter but i didn't like the former. :) Minmatar are so backwards that they still improvise their way to capitals and supercapitals with rust, duct tape and many many many frigs stuck together. :) Caldari have no liberty to speak off, they belong to the state which can choose to scr*w them over whenever it feels like it. No problem here unless you are part of the leadership. :) Gallente appeared to be the only true democracy. :) PS: Although I am gallente i fly amarr and minmatar. :) -------------------------------------------------- http://dojo.fi/~rancid/loituma__.swfAlways look on the bright side
Splagada Minmatar Tides of Silence Hydra Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.15 11:43:00 - [101] i made a dummy char, and asked what was the toughest race those "nerfed" races always have some hidden gems, been in mmos for too long to ignore that actually it's quite irrelevant as yuo can train anything, but my caldari alt sticks to caldari and i stick to minnie :p ------
Iyanah Minmatar Mining Munitions and Mayhem R i s e	Posted - 2007.05.15 11:50:00 - [102] 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? 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. no it's like saying: it's like saying the french are european. it's like saying people from kenya are african. it's like saying people from brazil are south american. it's... well you get the point he's right, canadian's are american, since america is a continent, and their country is ON that continent. btw, OP, Gallente are french, their name even looks/sounds french. the caldari state is the USA - it's heavily industrial, corporate run, belligerant and nationalistic. Ammarr and Minmatar are hard to pin down to a specific nation - which is probably a good thing given the part of their respective storylines in which they are involved with one another - one race subjugation and enslaving the other, i don't suppose implying a modern real-world equivilant would be very PC :P ========================================== Iy
Umbriele Gallente Natural Inventions	Posted - 2007.05.15 12:00:00 - [103] I choose Gallente cause I am ghay
Ulii	Posted - 2007.05.15 13:57:00 - [104] Edited by: Ulii on 15/05/2007 13:57:30 so you say there are no macho minmatar duct tape-fetischist *? or super corporation capitalist caldari ? or slavetrading zealous amarr **? or are you implying that all french are homosexuals? edit: oh... amarr for the right to believe you are better than all and have the right to destroy their lives (death to the heretics!!)
Spoon Thumb Khanid Aerospace Group Khanid Provincial Authority	Posted - 2007.05.15 14:09:00 - [105] Originally by: Ethan Hunte Gallente = Freedom, truth, justice, and the American way lol I specifically did not choose Minmatar because I felt that the whole "Freedom is sooo great" etc etc was really quite boring, very American and just not what I believed in. Not saying I'm "anti-freedom" and yes I do appreciate the sacrifices of my grandparents generation. But overtly trying to ram it down ppl's throats just doesn't suit me. I actually thought more ppl would choose Minmatar and Gallente than seem to have for those reasons, and i'm disappointed that Caldari seem to be totally ubiquitous. I nearly chose Gallente because I thought it might be fun to play as a froggie, but Caldari was where I wanted to be really, so I made my main Caldari and never looked back Khaldari Research Services KPA Recruiting!
Feasd Freelancer Union Unaffiliated	Posted - 2007.05.15 14:16:00 - [106] I chose Caldari because they were the default choice when I started the client up for the first time... seemed as good a way to pick as any
Leandro Salazar The Blackguard Wolves	Posted - 2007.05.15 14:22:00 - [107] What actually makes the most people pick caldari is probably that they are the most caucasian-looking. And since blood the achura stats for alts. And of course they have the most 'tough guy' looking characters in civire males that just allures to a certain type of player I don't care for much. I know this kind of generalization is usually a bad idea, but my personal experience is that a significant majority of the most immature, chaotic, obnoxious and incompetent ganktards I come across are civire male, and thus I view the whole bunch of them with suspicion and disdain ;) - Thank you SkyFlyer! There is no 'n' in turret
Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2007.05.15 14:36:00 - [108] Amarr vs Minmatar cliche mudslinging was deemed neverending and insufferable. Caldari have 'bountyhunter' printed on the box, or was it manual, that's a big scareword to anyone wanting to surround themselves with sentient lifeforms. So gallente wasn't an active choice, it was the only option left open really. In retrospect one could say I had nothing to fear but fear itself but stereotypes has proven to hold true, no thanks to my own efforts. Also Known As
Granmethedon III	Posted - 2007.05.15 15:09:00 - [109] 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? 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. I do hope somebody corrected this.
Chia Mulholland Mulholland Enterprises	Posted - 2007.05.15 15:12:00 - [110] When I picked my race I knew nothing about what races were associated with what traits except for the short description in the character creation dialog. I picked Caldari because - AFAIR - they were decribed as a military and disciplined people. And since I assumed that I'd be fighting quite a bit, I thought that sounded like a good race to pick.
Nai Ling Amarr Middle Finger Technology Ghosts Syndicate	Posted - 2007.05.15 15:34:00 - [111] This character was Amarr because I like the ships. They're pretty... and lasers are pretty too. My Caldari character (primary acct) was chosen because I thought that's what I was during Beta. Come to find out, I was Gallente in Beta. So... the Caldari char is now an industry character. _______________________________________________
Vorn Dakkar Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2007.05.15 15:39:00 - [112] Originally by: Pleased Minmatar: It's about rust. It's about duct tape. It's about speed, and guns that go RA-TA-TA-TA or BOOOM! They are formerly enslaved, tribal, freedom fighters. They have muscles. They're in pitch black space, ready to engage in a fight, and they are wearing shades. Their chicks wear leather. Guess what race I picked. Beautiful. I should quote that in my signature.
Larg Kellein Caldari GTE Corp Artificial Intelligence.	Posted - 2007.05.15 15:49:00 - [113] It... seemed like a good idea at the time? Nah, serious(ish) answer is the super capitalist Caldari description had me sporting a semi. Originally by: Roy Batty68 My software has wronged me!!! And it's immediately "sorry". Well, ok then. I suppose I'm not so upset at my software if it appologizes.
ssorion Caldari The First Foundation Stella Polar	Posted - 2007.05.15 16:38:00 - [114] Deteis solely for avatar.
Royaldo KVA Noble Inc. Sylph Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.15 16:38:00 - [115] intaki, sexy long hair baby!! actually something about the description of intaki.
Sean Drake Caldari Dirty Deeds Corp. Axiom Empire	Posted - 2007.05.15 16:47:00 - [116] Don't laugh but I picked caldari because and I quote " having the weakest armour caldari ships have the most advanced sheilds and are the most AGILE ships in the galaxy while being second only to the Matar in speed"
Jim McGregor	Posted - 2007.05.15 16:48:00 - [117] Originally by: Sean Drake the most AGILE ships in the galaxy while being second only to the Matar in speed" It really said that? --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune
Hephaesteus Gallente	Posted - 2007.05.15 16:50:00 - [118] Edited by: Hephaesteus on 15/05/2007 16:48:27 Wow everyone commenting about rl issues with choosing a char. I choose Gallente because I thought they were very Star Trek Federation from the Captain Kirk era. We come in peace shot to kill kinda deal.
Sean Drake Caldari Dirty Deeds Corp. Axiom Empire	Posted - 2007.05.15 16:53:00 - [119] Originally by: Jim McGregor Originally by: Sean Drake the most AGILE ships in the galaxy while being second only to the Matar in speed" It really said that? Yep and ironicly enough kept saying it for a couple of years after they nerfed it
Rashmika Clavain Gallente Revelation Space	Posted - 2007.05.15 16:55:00 - [120] I nearly didn't go Gallente when i read they were of French descent; saddened by this news, I pressed on anyway because I was intrigued at the Andromedaesque drone armada. I'm glad I did too
