I sympathize with: 1. Abyss, Bargha-style 2. Other (Gnass/Lost Bahssikava sliths) 3. Avernum 4. Brigands (surface rebels, etc) In that order. Also, isn't this more an ET/AT question? -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Yeah, I sort of screwed up again with where to place this, but it started out with going between mainly Exile/Empire, then added the others because they are assumedly beyond E/A3 as well. The Abyss and the Vahnatai were givens since Avernum and the Empire are a part of the plots in most scenarios. The Anama is mentioned in Backwater Calls, and if it's accepted on the spiderweb software download board, then that too. I think this poll can call the BoA posts home. -------------------- "Sometimes I get all hungry! And then I catch some flies! They fly into my webs!

I'm personally with the Abyss. I like the Exiles but the Abyss has people who have been Exiled from Exile. I mean, it's bad enough to be kicked out of the real world and into a shotty backwards literal hole in the ground, and then to be kicked out of that as well. Thats just harsh.

I was going to select Anama, and then I saw Vahnatai down the list!

To prevent "opinion plagerism", I'll just say that I "agree" with Kingy's statement of the Abyss members having it rough with the good citizens of Avernum.

I picked "other", thinking about the Rebels. The rebels have it tough and they are real fighters, most of them never get the "prize" of being exiled, they just got executed on the spot. You would have to be either very brave or very stupid to openly oppose the empire and fight it. EDIT: Hey Chicho, nice to see another chilean around!

Sympathizing with a group and wanting to part of it are different.

I would join the Church of Divine Lucre before any of the others. They are the only ones which aren't destroyed or attacked. They just collect your cash and never have to fight.

Part of the reason I posted the poll was to get into a rant about how much I like the Exiles much more. Some people will forget the Empire war, but I WON'T!!! Garzhad was purely evil. The Empire took artifacts which ultimately led to war between two whole sentient races. The Empire looked to expand their territory and exterminate everyone below the surface. But then... the "merciful" Empress Prazac gave the ENTIRE nation of Exile the little square of land above Storm Port which was filled with gremlins, undead, and fire lizards. Thank you sooooo much, for giving us $5,000 and 10 square miles of land (that needs endless yardwork) for saving your ENTIRE FREAKIN' SURFACEWORLD, and offering me to join your little club of "elite" dervishes who pillaged our villages, raped our daughters, and killed the people you already expelled, like Pus from the Pimple that is your Empire, which marrs the Face of the earth! We, who only tried to survive in the pit you sent us to, were attacked because we felt the sweet, bitter, sweet taste of the wine of vengeance dancing across our denied, eager tounges before spitting it out in thanks to the gods! Or, more simply put, I quote the archer from Silvar: "Damn the Empire."

The vahnatai made all the other factions. Therefore they are better. They also have shiny crystals. —Alorael, who would like to see what might happen if the vahnatai, the Church of the Divine Lucre, and the Cult of the Sacred Item met. It would be a religious race to loot the most from some very irate aliens! Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I think Ash sympathizes with the goblins because they're overused in scenarios. There are SOOOOOOO many scenarios that involve beating up goblins. (Okay, I'm not exactly innocent of that myself, but still...) :P Oh, and my answer would be Vahnatai. :P Not that I don't want to be human, but still...

I sympathize, because they're always the runts that you start out on before moving on to actual challenges. They get no respect, from designers or players. That's why I made Deadly Goblins.

I voted Empire because they seem to be kind of the most powerful and peaceful and have the most territory. Sure, other races can make clever and usually effective plot against them but there's always adventures to deal with the plague after their 432nd load of the save file after being horrendously beat time after time. :P -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |
