lol genka, im not that guy.

Anyways, for me the choice was obvious, I could be a psychic space hippie, a corportate bastard, or a gentically modified cybernetically enhanced killing machine.

A genetically-modified corporate hippie?

UIT

Because my son(beta) was UIT; I like playing neutrals in RP games; Dau Senate Ale is quite good (Serco enhanced and Itani blessed)

UIT

Because we could go either way, can never be trusted, love money and look at that Marauderer...How could you not love it?

Serco.

... because my ex-boyfriend told me to join Serco back when he played the game (God, that is the worst reason ever.).

That, and Valkyries look damn sexy in red (Back when it was the super ship of ultimate doom or something).

lets see.. i was originally a serco then i got bored with that. then i went to NT (second original name of UIT.) after reading the backstory. i've always pictured myself as a mercenary. i saw NT as the border worlds from wing commander 4 (which is where the name black lance came from, from the guild i created :D). of course this was in the past when things were a'bit different than now.

when CTC was introduced i was originally fighting for both sides, of course naturally you can't get away with that. it was a'bit hard with other uits grabbing the cargo and you couldn't shoot them :P

after release i went to the itani side of things, to try them out. i wasn't very pleased as the nation was pretty passive and very few pirates (this is after release). after awhile i went back to serco, and i will never change again :)

to me the player base from the beta (serco/nt/itani) all switched over to the serco side of things to create virutally a second community in itself. everyone i knew switched over to serco. this was my primary reason for returning to the serco side. the second part of me returning was due to the agressive nature of the entire nation, which fits me perfectly :D

I've started as an Itani (Blue) trader, got bored after some time and decided to join Gold (UIT), as it seemed a better place to start an independent business. So I started touring sectors in a bus as "Bus Tour" but had to stop it soon, as the universe became Big And Boring (for tourists, that is). After having read the back story I decided that being neutral and with no evidence of Supreme Human Stupidity in the history of my "nation" is the way to go for me. :)

/me eats a southern fried Itani, with a sprinkling of UIT =D YUM +D Itani =D

1. UIT
2. Because i liked the Ferangi in StarTrek and it seemed like prety much the same deal. i would have been the Romulin Paralel but to my knowlege no one has cloaking devises so i'm UIT.

/me looks into creating a "Kentucky fried Itani" chain to appease tramshed & Yoda. 11 Herbs & Spices!

1. Itani
2. I forget why.

I haven't played long or hard enough to consider creating an alter-ego. Probably never will cause it's like WAY too hard for me to level up in combat pilot anyway. As some of you will attest to.

1. UIT
2. Because, as a newbie, I didn't want to choose sides in the war [described in the backstory] before I knew the game and the people who play in it.

I agree with LeberMac about it being too hard [actually, tedious, I'd say] to level up, so I don't expect to create a new character, either.

you know... why dont we call teh Serco, "Circle"?? i mean, their name sounds like Circle if you say it

Itani

I picked the blue nation (Itani) because I preferred the curved shapes of the Wraith and Centurion to the ships of the other nations. More later.
