If you were on the U.N.S. Unity...

If you assume you will be upper class: Morgan all the way. But since probability has it, you will not be there. Now, why go to AC in a colony pod just to be entratained by advanced futuristic video and psicotropoc drugs in you big room?

I would go with the Gaians. You are in a new solar system, might as well enjoy it. Run out side (naked), lear the new planet, use psicotropic drugs outdoors!

[King_Kristian]

Why is the University so popular?
They have drone problems deluxe because of a lack of ethics and that would probably mean mistreating their workers and lets face it, its not very likely that a lot of the members on this forum would be a Talent by University standards.

If pirates arent a choice I have to go with UoP it beats hanging out with hippies or zealots.

[King_Kristian]

What is it that is so great with the University?
How can you not love Morgan, money is much better than science because science requires money for funding.

[Pandir]

Well morganites wouldent be bad either. But considering I allways like to learn UoP would be a good choice for me.

[King_Kristian]

Sure, Sure, learning is great, I am actually writing this at school when I should be doing schoolwork.
Business class sucks when you actually are at school to learn computer science.
But still Morgan is the best and only choice for me.

...remember, you're joining it, not leading it!

My first choice: Spartans

Second: Hive

why?

Spartans are N R Aok!

With the Hive, sometimes I am a follower not a leader

The Gaians remind me of that old movie 'Nell'

I can’t resist defending my beloved University.

But you do assume you fit the standard for being a Morgan Talent? As Supply Crawler says, the probability you won’t be upper class is quite big. And do you really think the Morganites will treat their drones better than the University? Unlike Oglie I see the Morganites as 19th century capitalism, which means hard competition, unfettered application of the “law of the strongest” and oppressing of their untalented workforce. For the kind of capitalism, free market with psych, as in presumably your country but certainly Western Europe, you need to be with the socialist Lal. ( To avoid comments: for Americans: in Europe socialism means something different than communism…)

How can you not love Morgan, money is much better than science because science requires money for funding.

Yeah, but when Morgan has money, the chance he’ll spend it on research funding is smaller than when the money is in University hands. And IMHO the UoP is also a free market, though with more schooling possibilities to develop your capabilities regardless of social class and the wealth of your parents, so they’ll have just as much money as Morgan.

Stop insulting people's intelligence. My cousin has a Ph.D. in Mathematics and he wouldn't make it in the University Of Planet. Albert Einstein was a patent clerk at one point in his life, Isaac Newton a simple middle class farmer. They are both smarter than Prokhor Zakharov, by any measure.

We are welcome to make our own decisions on who we think we would be in 2060.

ha ha ha, that would be me...

Imagine, in the Human Hive EVERYONE is equal. African-European-Asian-Islander...everyone. No more people making 20 billion dollars/pounds/marks/etc. while others starve to death. No more religious fanatics because everyone thinks the same way. Everyone at peace and working for the good of everyone else through the state.

That, my friends, is true social utopia....that, is true freedom.

[Anodyne]

Everyone being the same? That would be hell for me.

I'd go with Peacekeepers, I have similar ideology, love for arts, culture, peace. And appreciation for talents. PK's also attract intellectual elite (yes, that's me )

Morganites would be my second choice; as Stefu put it: Decadence, sweet DECADENCE!!! Oh, yes!!

Third would be the Gaians. I do love nature, and what comes for psychedelic drugs...even better. And as a Finn, I keep running nude through the woods around the year, so yes this will suit me.

University a good fourth, see PK's and Morganites.

The last three are quite a hard choice. I'd hate seeing myself in any of those. I'd guess Believers would be least bad. Well, they'd probably burn me as a witch or a heretic in a couple of weeks, but at least I might have some nice debates and mystic conversations with the loonies... The Hive being second, perhaps, leaving the Spartans last.

[Skanky Burns]

I would probably go with the UoP.
They would have better / faster computers than other factions

Ok look, I didnt insult intellect.
Nell was a free spirit, one with nature.
Thats what I meant, please no leaping to conclusions next time; You just might hit the ground like Wile E. Coyote.

No, im not a talent, im a KING damnit! Look at my name!
And certainly capitalism is great, it is survival of the strongest in the modern world.
The strong can forge an empire on the back of the weak, and the weak resort to communism and other "I am weak so I should get free money" ideologies.

Yes Morgan has money, and he doesn't need to use it on research, he can buy it from the UoP.
Remember: "Sorry no check, no tech".

Unfortunately my country has had a socialist infection, but that is about to change, true capitalist leaders are taking over and we start to see some real changes to true capitalism (something I am very happy about).

You do know that Norway is the best country to live in, don't you? Even the U.N says so! And which SMAC leader represents the U.N?
