Garrulous Glaahk Geneforgeisformeyukkyu Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 My favorite faction is the obeyer faction. Awakened and takers piss me off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Acky Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Awakened. Support self shaping, and creation-human equality FTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Hypnotic Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I like Obeyers but the fact the worship shapers is a bit extream. Takers are too angry and apart from Gnorrel, they are unreasonable. Awakened are nice and reasonable but there are no quests straight away once you join them. So picking the lesser of three evils, Awakened win. Followed by Obeyers than Takers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Spddin Ignis Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I actually don't really like any G1 factions. But awaakened are fine for the most part scratch the self-shaping. They should be allowed to express their own beleifs in the absence of shapers, and the obeyors also do what they do without raicalness. So i dislike takers/sholai. Goettcsch is a loser and thats it.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Takers! Yay! And me using the Geneforge! Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Enraged Slith Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 The Takers, as they're the only realistic bunch on the island. Also, they have a little more of a stake in the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk llloyd Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I agree with the takers, as the awakened are just trying the same final outcome with unrealistic hope of the lenience of the shapers and obeyers should realize that as sentient beings they will never be able to give total obedience, unlike the way the serviles were before, even though still too sentient.

Easygoing Eyebeast The Mystic Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I prefer the Awakened because I tend to get a lot of xp from them early on. However, I tend not to join any faction unless I'm powergaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrulous Glaahk Geneforgeisformeyukkyu Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 I like the obeyers cause they worship me instead of trying to be equals or better then me ;D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 The Awakened do have the best mindset, for their given situation. Some may scoff at how it's unrealistic to assume the Shapers will allow peaceful Serviles to coexist; however, when all of the coexisting is done on a barred island off the uncivilized end of the continent, then it's not nearly such a dangerous idea to behold. That said, in ideal conditions, I favor the Obeyers. They basically reconciled Servile slavery with Servile independence, all under the rule of the Shapers. If all of the Serviles in Terrestia were like the Obeyers, there would never have been a problem. But, pragmatically, the Obeyers are unrealistically happy slaves. In a sense, I think that Serviles were originally designed to be like the Obeyers, but this never could happened. The Takers, on the other hand, while realistic in their ideology, are crazed in their goals. A band of, essentially, Servile cultists cannot take down the entire Shaper Empire. As the series progresses, we see that it is not the Takers who destroy the Shapers; the Drakons took control, and forged the coalition of interests that is the Rebellion.

Garrulous Glaahk llloyd Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Except he was wrong in saying the takers were essentially servile cultists because they did have trajkov. Always like to have the correctness be above my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotghroth Rhapsody Hypnotic Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I think my reply is going into G1 Spoilers so read at your own risk. Click to reveal.. No he wasn't, he was the Takers Ally. Takers were serviles that wanted to take their freedom from Shapers. Trajkov was a Sholai that had independance but wanted to help creations get theirs. The rest of the Sholai wanted power and Trajkov knew how to get it. Trajkov and the Sholai were not Takers because fundamentally the requirment for a Taker was to want your freedom. Thus the Sholai are the Takers Allies and are not a Takers themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk llloyd Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 the meaning of "with the takers" is the same as ally. it's pretty funny that the box goes "Yikes, my eyes!" hilarious, and staying up and about 4 am, awsomeness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Hypnotic Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Okay if "With the Takers" means Ally. What are you if you actually are a Taker? Person 1: I just joined this cool as faction? Person 2: Oh yeah? What is it? Person 1: Its the Takers. I am now with the...oh can't say that.

Garrulous Glaahk llloyd Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 imaginative, i think, definetly hilarious. i meant he was allied. with could mean either allied of follower. so we're both right. i suppose. super uncapitalization powers. with overuse of periods. i'm obviously needing of sleepness. llloyd out and wilko. or maybe it's that the fluffy turtles have eaten the last of my sanity now and i'm experiencing sanity withdrawl. does that happen? either way i must be insane. with the takers, ally of or follower. though they were very close allies. period. bed to off i am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
