[History Guy]

Oh bugger.

I'm sooo confused.

You lot just managed to pick my three favorite civs here. Excluding the Consciousness, I would love to be playing any of these...

Gag me with a xenospoon. It just isn't fair.

[Bookwyrm]

I'm joining up with the Consciousness, you should too. It would be irrational to do otherwise. All others shall be assimilated.

(Well there will be an attempt to cause all others to be assimilated, much as I like the Consciousness I have some definite doubts about its ability to compete against human controlled factions. I really hope we don't end up near the hive.)

[Mr. President]

I'm the opposite of History Guy - I don't especially like any of those civilizations.

But I'll be brave and sign up for the University.

[Archaic]

University for me.

[GeneralTacticus]

University.

[Static Universe]

Color me blue, I'd like the Hive.

[Makahlua]

Pirates!!

*starts making plans for l3wting*

[moomin]

University!

I want all the cool, unethical reasearch gadgets at my disposal now!

[History Guy]

Well, you know, I think, seeing as I can't stand the eeeeevil Hiverians too much (though I confess, I like Yang), and I really don't think barbarians...cough...I think I'll also sign up for the University, and get my hair all frizzy.

Yo-ho for science, unethical experimentations, and big labs. May we design the greatest Chironian drink of ALL TIME!! Yes, and then blow the minds of everyone else with our astronomical amounts of knowledge. Sounds good to me.

[Method]

much as i'd prefer the university, they're already populated enough....looks like i'll be joining the conciousness.

[Kassiopeia]

When does this close? Or can I join mid-game?

[Method]

1) good question
2) yes, probably

[Maniac]

Titi Kappa-6 (TKG), please sign me up for the Cybernetic Consciousness as Mani Alpha-3. I'll join you and Bookwi Rho-4 in our colony pod.
Anyone else interested in free cyber implants? Drogi Upsilon-5 perhaps?

[Jamski]

The Hive has called me. I join the forces of blueness.
