Stop trying to persuade the man with false promises of powerful ordnance. Let him decide of his own volition and in a well-informed manner.

He is well informed of the Vanu, I hope, due to my brief explanation.
However, I HAD to mention that we had floaty tanks. It works every time man. Every time.

I do admit big heavily armored vehicles and troops that have big boomsticks have their appeal too. Plus that kick ass NC logo. But PEW PEW PEW WUB WUB FLOAT IMPOSSIBLE TURN have big appeal. Plus a unique aesthetic compared to the other two.

Vanu vehicles are beautiful, like an artwork. An artwork of war.
That means that the VS are the masters of the art of war.

Love the play on words there. There was actually a guy writing his posts as poems. I believe he was VS.

Disagree. Being NC doesn't meen you hate your country. It meens you hate the Dictatorship running your Country and you want a more free form of leadership,one that promotes capitalism and individual freedom.

I love the United States and the Idea of what it is to be an American. I love the Country as it was designed and run for the first hundred years give or take. I hate what it has become.

I am a Patriot,yet I am also a freedom fighter at heart. I think you see the NC as an anarchist organization. I see them as patriots trying to restore the terran republic to the way it was in the past when it was more respectful of our rights as free men.

Just difference in the way we view things I guess,kind of like in real life. There are those flag waving,gun totoing Americans that want a second revolution in this country,then there are those flag waving ,gun toting americans that want a peacful transition of power to a Government that is more in line with our Constitution.

Both groups want the same thing,just want to get there by a different path.Thats how I see the NC anyways. Just my 2 cents.

You could have clarified that in your first post.

NOUN:

Love of and devotion to one's country.

That settles it. NC doesn't want you,go VS.
This makes you sound like a practitioner of blind patriotism, which would make absolutely no sense.

Re: Still on the fence...


Don't dismiss TR so easily. Human Beings forged world peace originally under the TR banner. Terran Republic is the reason that all three factions made it to Auraxis. Terran Republic are not specifically opposed to freedom or progress, and there is no guarantee NC or VS will bring the human race toward either of these.

If us Auraxians return to earth as the New Conglomerate we risk turning the clock of human evolution back to the age of corporate dictatorship. After they garner power for themselves the corporations would turn on each other and the movement would splinter, eventually returning humanity back to feudal times. NC are not patriots. They worship the corporations.

The Vanu Sovereignty asks us to have a blind faith in an alien race we have never contacted and barely understand. I am not sure even the VS soldiers know for ceirtain what they are fighting for. Both of these factions appear to have a pioneering logic, but they just repeat the mistakes our species made on Earth many years ago.

Help us restore Auraxian humanity to what it was on Earth. Our strength is in our unity. Ours is the only tried and tested method for peace and progress. Do not loose yourself to the rebel, or the heretic. Remember who you are, and where you came from.

The NC already exists in true Terran space. Their faction only rebelled on the planet.

The Auraxian TR is not the Terran TR.

FOR TERRA! TECHNOLOGY IS MIGHT!
