Official: What faction do you want to play as? (round two)

[Maniac]

This thread has given us a crude idea of what factions are most popular, so here's round two. Most likely we'll play SMAX, as that has a large majority in another poll. Therefore I took the eight SMAC & SMAX factions with three or more votes in the previous poll. From those eight, I presume the three or four, depending on how many people vote, most scoring will participate in the actual demo game. As this is probably the final poll on human factions, you have only one vote. No more second choices etcetera. Time to make up your mind! : which landing pod will you join?

One vote, seven day time limit.

Thanks Maniac

I call on all opponents of the evil free marketeers to join the Hive. United in brotherhood, Planet will be ours ! But only if we get enough members to be an influence on things...

[Drogue]

I'll either be Gaian's, Hive, or Cybernetic Conciousness, depending on what I decide I want to be, and what others vote for (I think those 3 in one game would be good, but I expect the UoP and Angels to get in).

[Jamski]

Would you join a Green Hive Drogue? I'd join a Planned Gaians. If you don't vote then there might not be any leftie faction to join.

[Maniac]

I'll wait a bit too before voting Hive or Consciousness. Though personally I don't think going green with the Hive would be a good idea. Not only do I find it odd RPG-speaking, it also makes no sense gametechnically speaking, as you waste the Hive efficiency immunity bonus (presuming you'd be a police state...).

[Jamski]

I find the planet bonus very useful in the early-mid game for worm fighting and capturing. Of course its almost a shame not to go planned because it works so well, but... its a game where you can afford a bit of RPing and still do well.

[Static Universe]

I'm going with the Hive.

[Drogue]

Looks like the Hive will win anyway. I am not sure, however a Green CCCP style Hive is very tempting. I am leaning towards Hive (it's fun being evil, and I want to have fun here ), but the Conciousness means I can be an AI character again

It's so hard

[FlameFlash]

no comment other than joining the thread...

[Hercules]

Well I have voted Data Angels. They are a difficult faction but hey that's women for you. But as already stated happy with Deirdre or Pirates.

[Method]

CyCon. can't wait to RP with them

[Hercules]

I agree though that it would be a shame if Data, Cyber and UoP all got through because they have a similar 'researchy automaton type' feel.

[FlameFlash]

same type shouldn't be much of an option... at least, it wouldn't be much of game, IMHO.

[GeneralTacticus]

I'll be joining either the UoP, Morganites, or CyCon. Haven't made up my mind yet.

[Bookwyrm]

I voted for Zeta, second choices are Hive and University.
