Nalyd personally detests both the Democrats and Republicans, but if choosing between the two was mandatory, Nalyd would have to say that he sympathizes most with the Democrats. Nalyd personally prefers the Awakened in Geneforge, but the Shapers will suffice. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it.

In Soviet Russia, Rebels support the Democratic Party! The above sentence gives my opinion that this is very Americentric, and that I'm a Democrat-Rebel.

Lately, I've become rather disillusioned with both Democrats and Republicans, but if I have to pick I'll say Republican. I'm also totally pro-Shaper. Yeah! :D As always, I uphold the establishment because I see nothing better to uphold. Except possibly the Awakened.

This isn't that modified. I still don't get my chioces. Especially since I don't know which party I support, and Trakovite or awakened appeal to me most. -------------------- Let's all just shape gazers and hope it goes away.

Awakened are dead, they wouldn't panned out in the long run anyways and those who oppose all shaping don't make a difference until the very, very long run. Like I said, there is a reason for there being only 4 choices and why there are words like "sympathise" and "identify most with". -------------------- "After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) "When one fights a monster, one must take care not to become a monster oneself." -Friedich Nietzche "One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly." -Friedich Nietzche Posts: 333 | Registered: Saturday, May 20 2006 07:00 |

*glances at poll* I think the only thing this proves so far is that most people on this forum lean Democratic. :P Posts: 9 | Registered: Saturday, March 17 2007 07:00 |

Democrat-Shaper is the most popular? You people are either miserable hypocrites or have simply been brainwashed. Whether you've been brainwashed by liberal propaganda or Shaper propaganda is anyone's guess, but I seriously doubt anyone could truely believe in both ideologies. They are incompatible. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |

The Shapers are terrible in theory and fairly bad in practice. The rebels are okay in theory and terrible in practice. I'd expect more of a correlation betwen Shaper/rebel and a practicality/idealism axis. —Alorael, who is pretty sure you could also get a correlation with Myers-Briggs type. Intuition/Sense?

I don't think that siding with the Shapers is inherently opposed to being a Democrat. Think about it in practical terms, would a liberal support Stalin over a regular unitarian government? -------------------- "After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one." - Cato the Elder (234-149 BC) "When one fights a monster, one must take care not to become a monster oneself." -Friedich Nietzche "One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly." -Friedich Nietzche Posts: 333 | Registered: Saturday, May 20 2006 07:00 |

The Shapers are the conservative, anti-civil liberties, pro-national security ideology. Does that sound like a democrat to you? If the Shapers lived in today's world you know they would be tapping phones and smashing smaller nations that were deemed a threat, not to mention the proposed constitutional amendment to ban servile marriage. -------------------- You lose.

But they don't live in our world today. That is the problem with most people's reasoning on who they would support, we are talking about *their* world, not our world. There is a big difference there.

Why force us to pick Rep or Dem if you desire results? You want us to pick between Shaper and rebel and not muck it up with ancillary sects, which is fine. But the majority of Americans are independents, and the parties are strictly american, rather than universal. Not suggesting you re-do again, but using terms like conservative/liberal might get you further. -------------------- Vogel - "10% off on all of [our] products for the month of October. ... this discount applies to games, CDs, bundles, and even already discounted products."

you can't tell how shapers or rebels would act today, because you could say anything and it be right in some view or another, like maybe drakons mix a canister and nuclear bomb together and bomb the shaper capital. That would be choosing sides political-wise.

Green-Rebel. Sorry that does not fit in to your poll. Here in Canada I'm not sure if we even have a Republican party. Posts: 16 | Registered: Monday, October 3 2005 07:00 |

Tullegolar: It's not so much that the Shaper's nation match with Democrats, it's just that they're closer to the mark then the Rebels. That, and it's more morally correct to support the Shapers in the current situation. Unless, of course, you're suggesting that Democrats regularly go out and slaughter random people, which, in that case, does fit. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews!

Nioca, I object to that statement. Morally, neither of them have the highground, with genocide for Shapers and the equivelant of WMDs for the Rebels. Meanwhile, the Rebels are far more liberal then the Shapers, if implementing a caste system. Frankly, this is just a radical move to the left, giving far more freedoms to the creations and taking out the dictators. What's more, I have no doubt that with the power of Shaping available to the masses, and the difficulty of controlling the Unbound, that the Drakons would be unable to do anything unpopular. -------------------- "This is the King of the Knob Goblins.

quote:Really? The Rebellion has shown that the only creations they're actually concerned about are the Serviles and the Drayks/Drakons. They've also shown that they'll stoop to even lower means than the shapers to achieve their goals. Finally, they've only really struck at innocent bystanders. So yes, the shapers do hold the moral high-ground. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!
