There wasn't a vote. Since you NC fools (:P) all have complete freedom, they changed it without your approval.

Those idiots in marketing... we're not ANARCHISTS, dammit. (Not all of us, anyway.) We're freedom fighters. I hope we don't get a bunch of anarchy twits in the NC now... oj...

I hope that is a misprint. If it isn't then this is more proof NC are idiots ( :ncsucks: ) anarchy is the dumbest idea for government EVER!!! In anarchy there are no laws so the place is pretty much runn by organized crime (what used to be crime). There would be murder in the streets that would just be followed up by vengence which will then be followed by more vengence and so on. If you want to se what happens when there is anarchy just look at Somalia the place is run by warlords!!!!!
I would rather live in a dictatorship than an anarchy!!!!!

...This doesn't have to be realistic, though I do think they are trying to make the slogan sound cooler. Most people are dumbasses, and think that anarchy is awesome, I just think the name sounds cool, and since it is war...war=anarchy. I believe it fits quite nicely. In the storyline, and for sales appeal.

Anarchy as its called now is HIGHLY misconstrued. In the views of modern people its like crime running rampant and so fourth BUT by definition anarchy is MUCH closer to communism then everything, infact in the governmental cycle its right next to (after) communism. Communism is also very misunderstood. There are NO communist countries in the world because pure communism has no leader. Communism in its purest is "Hey heres an apple tree we can all eat off it and be merry" whereas capitolism is like: "I planted this tree so give my a dollar or kiss my ass :D ". So anarchy being close to communism simply means no government. What perverse people would do in a anarchist government is all up to them but left alone the concept of anarchy is pretty innocent.
isnt government hella interesting.

What do you believe the nature of man is? If you are Rousseaun (noble savage)then I can believe that you believe in what you are saying. If you are Hobbesian (graceless savage)then obviously anarchy would not work. Yet even as a Rousseauian it is highly unlikely that the view of un-selfish humans is even supported by anarchy...What I'm trying to say is that the nature of man, makes anarchy into chaos, and destruction...actually YOU ARE ALL WRONG I didn't even think of this but pure freedom is LIBERATARIAN. If you notice, there are NO Liberatarian governments left. Pure freedom is impossible because humans are naturally greedy.

Oh dont get me wrong communism and anarchy will never work.
The only government that works is a capitolism with socialist bitches to do its dirty work. Im gonna be president of the world one day. So dont get on my bad side :cool:.
Of and if theres an admin that thinks they wanna be my debutante extrodinaire in charge of my many many wives... I give you permission to giv me the title President of Earth. ;)

i don't understand why they would want to do that.... they have an outfit system set up with commanders and, they have CEP's ..... obvously signs of positions of leadership. so unless they want to make it a rambo type game the new slogan really blows

hehe, you're gonna get sooooo flamed for this. Some idiot is gonna come in here and be like, "you nazzi communist bastard". HHAHa, i love it when they do that. I love that, give me a dollar or kiss my ass, that's great. As for liberterianism, that's not really ever going to work. First, you can't beat the american system, it's perfect, keep the people ignorant and happy, and you'll never go wrong. Second, people always think they are right, and are very greedy. The people will always ask for laws following social norms which follow tradition which follows religious ideals. Second off, with libertarianism, there is still capitolism, and there aren't many taxes, so what happens, is people start getting rich, and then just pass the money to their offspring, and then we end up with a form of facism, or some weird ass form of government like that of the middle ages (i don't know what it's called, damn)
They should have a political science class in my high school, BUT THEY DON'T, THOSE BASTARDS. The government would never fund something like that, because it wouldn't keep the masses ignorant, which wouldn't help them. I guess you said what i said firemonkey, but i just went more in depth. And you should read some machiavelli, it's good stuff

I don't know that article looks screwy to me, on the first page all of the factions are listed as:
The New Con. | Vanu Sov. | Terran Rep.
Why do the other two emps not have the 'the' in front of them. Another reason NC is gonna own all j00.

ROFL! I never noticed that before! On this (http://www.planetside-universe.com/media/viewer.php?img_id=340) ad, for the terran republic poster it's got a vanu armor repeated 4 times on it! I just checked the CGW ad (it's got those 3 posters full page) and they apparently got it fixed before printing it full page as it's got a TR armor in it's place but looks exactly the same otherwise.
Silly marketers.

The NC is like a large group of teenagers:
They think they know everything, but actually know next to nothing.
They dont like people telling them what to do, even though most of them dont have a clue.
They mostly like drugs.
They have no sense of good fashion, but think they do.
They have acne, lots of it. (Us Vanu no longer get acne, was taken out in 5.7)
They think they can kick everyones ass's, but their elders can still woop em.
They like sex, but arnt good at it.
They cant agree on anything.
They dont know what they want, but think they do.
Think that anything with purple in it is.... OMG OMG OMG THATS....GAY...... even though many of them are battling with their own sexuality....the Guilty Dog barks loudest.
Have no respect for their betters and elders.
