Poll: Who is the Hottest Chick in SMAC?

[Starfarer]

I suppose that would depend on whether you're five or five hundred years after Planetfall, wouldn't it?

[MysticWind]

No, seriously, she looks like Captain Janeway for Star Trek: Voyager.

Damn, without even voting, I think I've geekified myself already.

First of all, Deirdre's voice accent is not Scottish. I don't know what the hell it is, but it's definitely not Scottish. The Firaxian talent scouts found a nice exotic accent for her, I'll admit it sounds good and gentle, but it has clearly never been anywhere near 200 miles of Glasgow. (Not that that's a bad thing.)

Secondly, don't judge Miriam by her in-game illustrations. When you meet her over the commlinks, several of the mini-window biographical photos show her to be a feisty, active, and attractive young woman like the rest of us. The manual also says that she is a charismatic leader - something the "Journey to Alpha Centauri" story reinforces. That means she gets people motivated and gets them doing stuff.

Deirdre is a vegetarian. Ever noticed how you never need a sign or T-shirt to identify the vegetarian in the group? That's right. Vegetarians are usually the ones who have just farted. But if that turns you on...

And Santiago always struck me as the sort who would eat her mate afterwards.

Where do I begin with this? Freakin hilarious.

they all use some type of rejuvenator machine each ten years - as ingame story tells. After 500 years they may be still 'in shape'

[Starfarer]

yes, but she certainly isn't 40 anymore after abhout a hundred years on Planet, now is she?

And wouldn't Miriam consider such a thing godless, being as it reverses God's will?

[Barinthus]

Nah, it could be argued that it is God's Will that Miriam ended up on Chiron and made available the technology to extend her lifespan so she can do what she's supposed to do.

[Starfarer]

But by THAT logic, isn't it also God's will that, say, Zakharov ended up on PLanet to provide everyone else with high technology with which they might come closer to God?

And does anyone else notice that Miriam's like, schizo when it comes to teleporters?

When you get a Psi Gate, she's all "go through, my Children! God said it's fine!" but when you use a Bulk Matter transmitter, she's all "GOD HATES THIS TECHNOLOGY! YOU'LL LOSE YOUR SOUL!"

Just yet antoher reason not to like Miriam... she's friggin' nuts.

[Frankychan]

Best. Post. Ever.

I can actually hear her voice saying that!

People in general have this tendency to expand upon things that serves their interest and ignore things that contradict their interest. I don't see why Miriam would be any different. She can say that she's the servant of the Lord and that Zakharov or whoever is an abomination in the eye of the God therefore must be hauled off to a punishment sphere until he repents. Even if he repents, he's still an abomination so it's etched into his DNA so in the sphere, he stays.

Religious people can be so irrational.

[MysticWind]

Seriously, does anyone think that Miriam looks like Janeway from Voyager?

[Barinthus]

No way, MysticWind. Sorry

I can accept Reba McEntire although.

[Starfarer]

FOUL SLANDER! She does NOT look like Reba!

well, unless Reba were like, eighty, had gotten overweight, and had smashed her face repeatedly into a wall to attain "The Wisdom that God Gave Me."

Ahem. I guess I'm biased.

[gwillybj]

All are physically fit. None would be the least bit fat. As members of the crew, it would be required of Miriam and Deirdre. It could only be expected of Corazon.

Sister Miriam Godwinson:
DOB: 4 April 2014 (Aries). Age at Unity launch ~46.
Height: 168.6 cm = 5' 6-3/8"
Weight: 55.2 kg = 121.7 lb

Lady Deirdre Sky:
DOB: 28 May 2025 (Gemini). Age at Unity launch ~35.
Height: 170.1 cm = 5' 7"
Weight: 52.2 kg = 115.1 lb

Colonel Corazon Santiago:
DOB: 5 November 2026 (Scorpio). Age at Unity launch ~34.
Height: 171.8 cm = 5' 7-5/8"
Weight: 56.8 kg = 125.2 lb

[Starfarer]

[Mart]
