Question about certs and the NC

[Shyfted One]

I don't think an accurate limit has been mentioned yet, but I was hoping someone might have a general idea as to how many one character can have. Just wondering because it'd make it easier to plan out some characters while I wait anxiously for the game.

My second question is why do so many people consider the NC to be anarchists or socialists? I can't imagine them being either of those at least not to an extent to label them as such.

[Wreck]

i was wondering the same thing...

i think the NC is closer to being anarchists than socialists. their entire platform for rebellion is for free-will

[Camping Carl]

Four characters, anarchists.

[Sputty]

Don't make another thread on idealogy. If this becomes that I hope Hamma will close it.

[Camping Carl]

TR = Russia
NC = America
VS = Japan (sort of)

[Tobias]

The Vanu know, but we arnt telling.

[Lexington_Steele]

TR= Texas
NC= Vermont (maybe North Carolina )
VS= Hidden in an underground base in Nevada

[Purge]

Because even having people start out equal is defined as socialism, even if it is a lesser degree than what the Soviet Union had Besides, its possible to be free and be socialistic, its all good Shyfty

Go to one of the other 999 threads discussing idealogy before making a new one.

I know we get four characters, but I wanted to know what the cert max could possibly be. And I still don't see the NS as anarchists, their goal doesn't meet any of the definitions provided by dictionary.com for anarchy:

1) Absence of any form of political authority.
2) Political disorder and confusion.
3) Absence of any cohesive principle, such as a common standard or purpose.

They are all fighting for a common purpose and they want reform in government, not to completely do away with it.

@sputty, I don't see a problem in dicsussing the ideology of each faction as long as it's handled in a mature manner. One of the reasons it gets discussed is because people like to feel like they are part of the game when playing and knowing what you are fighting for helps. I've only seen one other ideology thread, although I haven't looked too hard, but I still would like an answer to my 1st question as well so I don't see a point in closing this.

I think that the VS are trying to create a socialist society with their goal of making everyone "perfect" and equal and I see the TR as Hitlerian Totalitarianism due to their focus on military control and the enforcement of their beliefs on their citizens/civilians.

While we're beating dead horses snipers are too overpowered.

I thought the NC just wanted to sit around, smoke pot, and have lotsa sex. No need for condoms with the matrixing tech making us all sterile as a mule.

Hey, you aren't supposed to be pointing out the good sides to joining the enemy. Look at your uniform, it's purple. Man, the recruiters for Vanu are going to kill you.

[Tobias]

Damn sorry, your right, i just lost the Vanu another twelve recruits. Well, we still have the Hot Vanu Babes, laser weaponry, and a damn fine dental plan!

[RageMaster]

Wait a god-darn rootin-tootin cotton-picking second!!!!!

People are picking their faction based on its fictional ideology?!

Darnit, I chose the TR simply because they get high ROF, a hardcore looking MAX and a red and black colour-scheme.

Oh how shallow I feel!!!
