Psyche of forumers on either side of civil war...

Post » Wed Sep 11, 2013 12:59 pm

Right, I'll just begin with this...

This is NOT a place to argue about the goods or evils of the civil war. Here, its "agree to disagree," okay? What I'm more curious about is what the typical supporter of either side is like, thus the questions, both in game and real life, issues are being asked. If you're neutral- choose a side. You can't be perfectly on the fence. If you're even a TINY bit one way or the other, go with that. Post why you think people on either side tend to think along the lines they do, or the morality of the sub-questions, but again, please don't turn this into a civil war debate. Finally, Thalmor supporters, don't vote- you'll just skew the true stormcloak psyche. And besides, the thalmor?! Anyway, please keep everything civil and lets see what happens... :D

This won't end well.

As for some of the questions.

Forsworn or Silverblood...neither. but I think I'd rather go with the Silver-Bloods, I don't particularly like the Forsworn.

Politics wise, I lean just slightly left. There are somethings I like about the right, but I lean left.

Adding to the above, I lean Imperial, but acknowledge almost everything the Stormcloaks say. Most of it I agree with.

As for Syria. We shouldn't get get involved, and its situation is different from Skyrim.

And for who would win, I don't think Bethesda will have either side canon, they're going to make it some obscure thing some drunk says. Maybe a Dragonbreak will occur. I know that the Empire will fall soon, but not just yet. It still has some life left and will go down fighting. I hope.

While waiting for responses, you should go and read the forum rules which pretty clearly prohibit discussion of real life politics.

P.S. Can't answer poll since I'm not American.

My apologies. I never realized this. I'll edit it right away.

And I'm really sorry about that. Stupid, stupid thing. Really wasn't trying to pick a fight.

Please don't hurt me.

Agreed.

1-That's just begging for a reaction(whether intended or not)

2-Not everyone on this formum is from the US.

Anyways, it's gone now.

Can't vote because I think both Forsworn and Silverbloods should be gutted and hoisted on pikes at the town gate.

There should be an option for killing both Madanach and Thonar, because that is what I tend to do.

Don't like the poll much. While I do support the Silverbloods, it isn't because I like them. I sympathize with the Forsworn to a certain degree, but not much. The reason I support the Silver-Bloods however is because they are a big contributor to the Stormcloaks and their silver would be important to the cause. Same with Maven for the Imp side. You may hate her, but she would be an important contributor to your side as well. So it depends. If I could get that same advantage though and the Silver-Bloods get axed, then by all means. But if I have to choose between the two, I'm picking Silver-Bloods.

To the last question, I think none. In my opinion, this Empire will soon fall regardless of whose side we pick.

I'd like to know why some of my fellow Imperials are picking the Forsworn over the Silver-Bloods. It's strange.

I don't get the second question, is there suppose to be an option for Forsworn cause Silverbloods(at least Thongvar) are Stormcloak supporters?

I noticed a little hiccup.

The first "Forsworn or Silverbloods" says "Stormcloaks" instead of "Forsworn."

Also, can we have an option to just kill both of them, or is that implied by choosing one side then killing the other?

(Like, follow Madanach out of the mine, kill Thonar, then kill Madanach after counts as "Forsworn"?)

I was about to ask that. Probably just a mistake. Sometimes I just type what I'm currently thinking, then later editing it.

Because the Silver-Bloods support Stormcloaks I'd suppose.

Boggles my mind.

The Silver-Bloods aren't likable IMO, but I prefer them to the Forsworn.

Never done the Imperial side (I snipe Imperials whether in the civil war or not - they tried to chop off my head!). I did the Stormcloaks a couple times for the action, but I really don't support them farther than 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.' My character is hunter/explorer in a strange land.

Killed the Silverblood and Parthy.

I think thats a toss up really. Silver-Bloods are corrupt and practically run a slave op, and Forsworn murder innocents uninvolved with their war and practice dark arts. Basically terrorists. I only pick Silver-Bloods because they're advantageous to my side and I had to choose, but they're both pretty despicable.
