Agalantiri Caldari Deadworlds Infrastructure Inc.	Posted - 2007.05.19 11:31:00 - [152] Edited by: Agalantiri on 19/05/2007 11:34:57 EDIT: Bad grammar is evil. Originally by: Shameless Avenger Originally by: Ma'Kur Pridar american? lol, they are french bud. ingame history say they are french decendants. But it is the only true democracy in game, therefore = american way. That also why I choose gallente. Amar, empire (with an emperor) = not goot Caldary, military might = happy triger bullies = not good. Minmatar, well the ships are ugly as hell. Gallente, democracy = the only choice for me. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA The moment you are either a) a true democracy or b) A shining example of freedom, then I will retract the statement. As was noted in a prior post, you are a republic, which is different. Democracies don't work with the populations currently in the world. Imagine having a referendum on /every/ single topic, from major issues like the age a person can drive/drink/smoke to the insiginificant issues (in the bigger picture) of the changes to fees for the price of housing in a single neighbourhood. It'd collapse under the weight of paperwork in a week. However, I chose my race based upon theme as well. The Caldari have shields, missiles, as any modern warfare analyst will tell you are superior to guns in battle, ECM (which they alone are able to use at stronger than RMR capability, Rooks manage it... Just.) And they use GRAVIMETRIC detection. Now that's just awesome. As anyone who has ever read Asimov will tell you. Gravimetric ships rule. The Caldari are so very very japanese. Zaibatsu in fact. Have a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaibatsu Minmatar are liberated slaves... Oh joy. What wonderful fun. Amarr... So tempting. For the record, they are the descendants, and maintain the beliefs, if not the culture of a radical christian sect. Watch the intro again before you talk about the middle east. Gallente. French. Although, I can't blame americans for liking them. Afterall, where would the US be without the Nepoleonic french to win their wars for them? In addition. There are only two countries in the world that are able to call themselves by their nationality and continent. Those are Australia and Antartica. And as no one lives their entire lives in Antartica, they don't really count. In addition. Using correct terms in the English language, there are 21 States in America. Not the United States, as anyone who is forced to watch their television can tell you is a lot higher than that. So, please, cut it with the arrogant nationalism in claiming that the U.S.A. and the U.S.A. alone are Americans. For remember, you are the United States OF America. Not America itself. Else we'll have to start calling you french. And I'm just glad no one dared calling the Irish, english. I'd gut you alive.
MassonA Caldari coracao ardente Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.05.19 12:04:00 - [153] i chose caldari because they remind me most of the terran from starcraft what else is there to choose from?
Lendwill	Posted - 2007.05.20 03:12:00 - [154] To be honest I was very disappointed that the only avatar with the appearance of african descent happened to be in a race with a recent history of being enslaved. You would think after 20 000 years there would not be that stigma to deal with. Ah well, no Minmataar for me.
Uchuu	Posted - 2007.05.20 05:15:00 - [155] Originally, in beta, I chose caldari cause it said they were good at bounty hunting. Got to know the game better and ended up liking amarr ships and lasers. Came back 3 years later and chose amarr just cause i wanted to be in ships with lasers, man oh man, what have i done?
Locus Bey Gallente Qalandar	Posted - 2007.05.20 05:34:00 - [156] Edited by: Locus Bey on 20/05/2007 05:39:07 Intaki, cos I couldn't be Jove and cos that visor the Gallente have is Could never go Amarr way to ugly and repressed. From what I read of their background my take on them is that they are Reborn Christians who took over the ritualism of Roman Catholicism. So probably American. Caldari definately American: capitalists, control freaks and wear tight leather jerkins. How I imagine capitalist society would be should we continue on our current trajectory. Minmatar their platted hairy backs and seat covers turned me off. Gallente the freedom of values was what appealed, seemed to offer the most choice. european imo
Tortun Nahme	Posted - 2007.05.20 05:39:00 - [157] Minmatar, because we are the badass underdogs!
Arii Smith Caldari StarHunt Fallout Project	Posted - 2007.05.20 05:44:00 - [158] I chose Caldari because they seemed like realists. They understand the military and money are what matters, and so I figured they would have the most powerful ships (I was dead on, as far as PVE goes anyways). Democracy is one of the worst forms of government, so I was not really a fan of the Gallente because they seemed to have a total hard-on for freedom and liberty and blah blah it made me sick. The Amarr looked asian, and I wanted to be a white male (as I am a white male and have a really hard time playing an RPG as anything other than myself). Minmatar looked really, overwhelmingly terrible. Ex-slaves? What a bunch of losers!
THEGREAT LOBO Havoc Inc	Posted - 2007.05.20 13:57:00 - [159] You know that Minmatar chick with the big boobs ? yea... thats why :) im sure im not the only one to make the decision based on that
Soporo Caldari	Posted - 2007.05.20 17:08:00 - [160] Originally by: Garrick Amorr Amarr = Roman Catholics (all other religion is wrong and must be destroyed.quote] That sounds MUCH more like the Muslim religion.
Adaris Dark and Light inc.	Posted - 2007.05.20 18:56:00 - [161] I chose Gallente and specifically Intaki because it was the one race that had 'normal' features at the creation screen, namely no crazy maskes or hairstyles, abnormal facial expressions or weird clothes. If I was to create and alt I would pick a Minmatar Vherokior female, simply because imo they are the most sexeh (if you can say that ) of all the races and most normal to choose their options in char creation lol. * * * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euZ0j7vtKEQ
Streak Lightning	Posted - 2007.05.20 19:07:00 - [162] i just like smelly brown things with attitude
hsingyi Amarr Bug Fu	Posted - 2007.05.20 19:20:00 - [163] entirely based on how cute she looked when i created her. i tested many other races, but this was the best in my opinion. ----==== {x} ====---- just another girl on a quest to find herself
fire 59 Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.05.20 19:29:00 - [164] I chose gallentte because i saw my mate playing eve years ago, long before i started and i saw a megathron. I just fell in love with it from the start and decided i wanted to be that race. BoB vs the coalition of family values
Agalantiri Caldari Deadworlds Infrastructure Inc.	Posted - 2007.05.23 12:47:00 - [165] Originally by: Soporo Originally by: Garrick Amorr Amarr = Roman Catholics (all other religion is wrong and must be destroyed. That sounds MUCH more like the Muslim religion. Haven't studied much history have you? Little things, like, you know, things that didn't impact upon history at all, like the Crusades, Inquisition.... You know. Little things.
Cheras Freyez'den	Posted - 2007.06.08 22:04:00 - [166] Hmm...lotta 'American' detest goin round. I am an american as used by most every one, meaning a citizen of the U.S. I chose Minmatar as my race for specific reasons. Yes, I know they're were former slaves, blah blah...but they also were a people who fought back hard against their oppressors and won. They are the race most full of energy. They are pushed to prove themselves to the other empires that they deserve their freedom, but also they need to prove it to themselves (dont forget the Ammatar Mandate). Reading their descriptions and the news that is generated about their Empire, no other race come across to me with more possibilities than the Minmatar. No other race can claim having to work harder to where they are now than the Minmatars. I loved movies where you are cheering on a hero who had little chance to succeed. Braveheart, V for Vendetta, Lord of the Rings...this is the Minmatar to me. On that idea, I am proud to play one .
Cheras Freyez'den	Posted - 2007.06.08 22:14:00 - [167] Come to think of it, I think the Minmatar remind me of the U.S.
Walter Model REUNI0N Red Alliance	Posted - 2007.06.08 22:29:00 - [168] I picked Caldari. Capitalismi & Arial looking _______________________________________________ "If the tanks succeed, then victory follows.", Guderian, 1937.
Kakalot Supernova Security Systems	Posted - 2007.06.08 22:41:00 - [169] Caldari = Military + Merc + Soldier ________________________________________________________ http://users.pandora.be/zebras/Kakalot.jpg
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Sparta Alliance	Posted - 2007.06.08 22:42:00 - [170] Originally by: Agalantiri As was noted in a prior post, you are a republic, which is different. Democracies don't work with the populations currently in the world. Imagine having a referendum on /every/ single topic, from major issues like the age a person can drive/drink/smoke to the insiginificant issues (in the bigger picture) of the changes to fees for the price of housing in a single neighbourhood. It'd collapse under the weight of paperwork in a week. Republics and Democracies are not mutually exclusive. the vast majority of Democracies are also Republics (although the reverse is not true). Republic means "the head of state is not a monarch". Democracy means "governed by a body who is ultimately accountable to the citizenship". America = both. UK = Democracy but not a Republic. North Korea = Republic but not a Democracy. The Gallente Federation is meant to be both- governed by a (non royal) president, elected by the citizenship. Minmatar is definitely a Republic (no royalty), but not a Democracy in any real sense. Amarr are most certainly not a Republic (lead by an Emperor), and not a Democracy either. Caldari are a Republic, but not a Democracy (an Oligarchy really, I suppose). --------
Fink Angel Caldari The Merry Men	Posted - 2007.06.08 23:45:00 - [171] Caldari, so I could look like Eminemineminem and have a bunny rabbit making a strange ear thing right over the top of my head. And I ended up completely accidentally as Military / Mercs / Special Forces, which is pretty cool.
Cipher7 Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2007.06.08 23:46:00 - [172] Caldari = Too generic. Quake soldier #84556543573747 Gallente = Democracy is overrated Amarr = Almost what I wanted, couldn't come up with an acceptable portrait, plus the ships are fugly. Minmatar = Cool portraits, guns go rat-tat-tat, defiance is sexy, no mamby-pamby democracy theme, you want rights? fight for them, might makes right.
Dizang	Posted - 2007.06.09 00:09:00 - [173] Edited by: Dizang on 09/06/2007 00:09:14 Went to Amarr for the religious side of things more into spiritual side of it than organised religion. But I did start off in my 14 day as all 4 almost stuck with Minmatar, something about the way the ships look.
Humpalong Kazzidy	Posted - 2007.06.09 02:33:00 - [174] Edited by: Humpalong Kazzidy on 09/06/2007 02:37:41 Originally by: Pao An 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. The French thing seems to throw people off. The Gallente aren't a socialist democracy, they're more a libertarian free-market state. Lots of liberty, but it's sink or swim.
Sahriah BloodStone	Posted - 2007.06.09 02:36:00 - [175] Amarr - religion isnt my thing minmatar - The thought of being an ex-slave didnt appeal I had a really hard choice between gallente and Caldari and ALMOST choose Gallente i love both there backstories but i ended choosing caldari because to be focused on military seemed like a good base race. I then spent the next hour reading through the attibutes and wha they did and decided Civire was the best fighting choice. then spent the next 30min playing with the face ^_^ and i started paying 4 days later muaha
Phoebus Athenian Gallente KIA Corp KIA Alliance	Posted - 2007.06.09 02:39:00 - [176] Chose Gallente due to the democratic background of my character (RP). ---
Lance Fighter	Posted - 2007.06.09 02:42:00 - [177] 'CAUSE LASERS GO PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW hmm that about sums it up. And they don't use ammo
Gojyu	Posted - 2007.06.09 02:45:00 - [178] Gallente because I like drones, Jin-Mei because a guide told me to :)
cal nereus Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2007.06.09 06:38:00 - [179] Achura for the low charisma. As simple as that. But I fly Gallente ships.
chrisreeves Gallente Asgard Protectorate	Posted - 2007.06.09 07:42:00 - [180] Because he looked like Jesus? Seriously, cause I wanted to be in industry. But mainly the first one ----------------- Originally by: kieron The Ibis was never intended to be a solo OMGWTF mission-farming PWNmobile. "It was empty!!"
