What are they fighting for?

[T.H.O.L.]

Do the soldiers that joined either the T.R., V.S., or the N.C. know why they are fighting for them? Or did some or most soldiers pick those empires for there looks or weaponry. That is what i would like to know.

[Revulsion]

Friends/guilds/personal preference determines the race of most people.

[Camping Carl]

Looks and weapons mostly, but some people pick an empire for their philosiphy.

[Mauser101]

Myself, I'm fighting to protect the God given right of the free peoples of Auraxis to determine their own course in history.

Bah! As if.

I'm fighting to have fun, frag a bunch of people I don't know, and help my faction control the planet. It's not like anybody's really going to be roleplaying or anything. This is an FPS after all.

[Incompetent]

Right now, i think most people do a good deal of looking, read the backstory and make a fairly well thought out decision weighing a lot of factors. Once the game comes out though, we're going to start seeing an influx of people who base their choice on the uniforms and a glance at the guns. Right now, there is a lot of trashtalk and sarcasm going around such TR being nazis, Vanu wear purple, so they must be gay, and my personnel favorite entry by the NC "\/\/3 will pwn Joo b3c4us3 w3 h4\/3 big gu|\|z," But once PS launches. i think were gonna start to see a lot of people who really believe trash like that.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

same here........same here.... :cool2:

[Hellsfire123]

Ill pick based on my playing style and how the game plays out. My sig may be NC, but if i like Vanu better im not gonna choose based on something i did before i played. Instead of worring about your empire, just play all three factions when you start, stay around in VR till you find what you like, and go from there.

[NeoTassadar]

Vanu. Mobility, versatility, unconventionality.

[BUGGER]

Hmmm, wat does the Vanu fight for? I know the other 2 fight for freedom and peace, but how bout Vanu?

Vanu got all pissy about the Republic not wanting to immidiately start fiddling with alien technology as they found it, so they stole all the alien tech and went to war. I know, doesn't make any sense to me either.

[BUGGER]

really??? Damn.....hmm.....

So I will base it round that:

Vanu part of TR wanted shit, but TR wanted nothing to do with it....so they split apart into the Vanu and stole the alien crud......theres so there is wanabe's, peace and freedom....I'm guessin NC had somthin to do with TR.....whats NC's story


And for the hell of it...mind telling me the whole story, or giving me a link to it?

[Mauser101]

Bugger-

How can you possibly have that many posts and not know even the most basic premise of the game?

Terran Republic (http://www.terranrepublic.com/)

Vanu Soveregnity (http://www.vanusovereignty.com/)


New Conglomerate (http://www.newconglomerate.com/)

[FraBaktos]

I fight for vanu because we are creepy purple technology mastas :D

[BUGGER]

Sry.....tho I really didn't know where ya found that stuff!

[mikkyT]

At this time, mostly personal preference, and storyline.

For those intending to play with friends and current clans moving to planetside, then their race will be likely all be the same so its up to them to decide.

For those joining after release its likely to be dictated by the storyline, for those that read it :) and if they have friends already playing they may want to be with them.

Also numbers per team will have some influence over what team a n00b joins..

[mikkyT]

Sry.....tho I really didn't know where ya found that stuff!

On the official planetside under the heading of game info!

And on the Planetside main page under the headings of "Terran Republic" "New Conglomerate" and "Vanooooooooo"

[Zatrais]

If I remember right, we just wanted to tinker with Vanu (original, the aliens) technology. Then the other two started shooting for some odd reason.

[mikkyT]

Its all on the official site if you care to look!

But to sum up:

TR is a multi planet government that stubbled across a wormhole and found the planet auraxis and conlonised it, then the wormhole closed leaving the colonists stranded:

Vanu - fighting cos TR wouldnt let them tinker with alien shit

NC - Fighting for the freedom of the people of Auraxis against the brutal regime of the TR.

TR - Fighting because it wants to keep an iron grip on its subjects in the hope that the wormhole will reopen.

[Zatrais]

No no mikkyT you got it all wrong

The VS are fighting for the control of the Vanu artificats and the "evollution" of humans that will result in the enslavement of humanity by technology!

The NC are nothing but a bunch of anarchistic terrorists that wish for anarchy and lawless ness and chaos to reign.

The TR however wishes to unite the humans and stop the technomadness and de-evoltion into anarchy and murder!


Propangda is fun eh? ;)

[Shryn]

Evolve or go extinct, Yo. :D

:vsrocks:

[mikkyT]

Hehehe..

THis is best:

NC = The American population of 1776, the guys who won their freedom from the current oppressive system.

TR = The America of today, an oppressive system to anyone not loving the TR :) .

[Ouroboros]

Yes, but those that found America knew to create a government. If the NC every create a government, they will just turn into the TR.

You give up some of your freedom for the security of a government.

[mikkyT]

ANARCHY!

I am an anti-Christ,
I am an anarchist,
Don't know what I want
But I know how to get it
I wanna destroy
Passer-by!

Is this the MPLA?
Is this the UDA?
Or is this the IRA?
I thought it was the UK
You're just another country
Another council tenancy
'Cos I
I wanna be
Anarchy!

Get PISSED! DESTROY!

[NeoTassadar]

:huh:

[mikkyT]

Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the UK.

Those are the lyrics.

All those initials are terrorist groups or policital groups linked to terrorism rampant in the 70's whose aims are to free some parts of the UK (northern ireland, scotland, wales, whatever) from British rule.
