Well, I personally think it would be just swell if I were in Stargate Atlantis, or SG1. Naturally I would side with the 'baddies'. I can't help myself, I just always see eye-to-eye with the evil people, whether it be Stargate, Star Wars, Half Life 2, Sins of a Solar Empire, Warcraft III, etc.
I must say that the bad guys seem to offer the most: Money, power, women (or men in my case ;) ), etc.
What do the good guys offer? Freedom... um... and other things... like..
Oh my... i can't tell you how much i laughed reading THIS :'D
"the bad guys seem to offer the most: Money, power, women, etc."
Yep they just seem. All these... "rewards" are just low and primitives ones. You prefer it to freedom? hohohow poor guy. I guess you'll understand what i mean while growing up, learning and understanding. But above all get rid of these thoughts of a so low level of consciousness.
Your mind shall grow up kid.
So while I do appreciate your ever-so-persuasive rambling, I have to say I still prefer, for example, the Empire, over the New Republic. The Empire offers peace, stability and order in a galaxy torn apart by conflict. Is it wrong to sacrifice some freedoms so that the people may flourish? When the Rebellion decided to fight the empire, they started a civil war that lasted for years, drawing millions of innocent civilians into the fray.
When the Republic was finally dissolved, it had been suffering centuries of internal stagnation, because the democratic system was flawed. Of course, the Empire should be more democratised so the people can have a voice.
I would join the baddies out of a desire to help better the order from within, to aid the people, instead of fighting a fool-hardy quest to plunge the galaxy into a chaotic mess.
