Poll question: Let's pretend you *HAD* to....
Edited on Mon Jan-24-05 03:47 PM by everythingsxen
...serve an evil empire. Which evil empire would you serve?

For bonus points: Which branch would you serve in? (Army, Navy, Pilot, etc.)

README/DISCLAIMER : This question is about fashion ONLY. It has nothing to do with morality or whether or not you "never ever would"; assume for the purposes of this poll that you have been brainwashed, infected with alien critters, your family is held hostage ... whatever. The point is, you have to serve no matter what your feelings on the matter; you just get to decide which snappy threads you will wear. Ok? :evilgrin: Let the games begin!

1. The only good Romulan is a fucking dead one!
But I'd choose persia, scimitars are cool, and you get to be called an Immortal if you're infantry.

9. Romulan, because they aren't all coldly "logical" but they still
have that dead-sexy ear thing going on...

BTW - you left out the Klingons

16. Very true..
I would say I'm sorry in Klingon, but is there a word for I'm sorry in Klingon? :D

I also forgot the Japanese. :(

20. According to the on-line Klingon dictionary
http://www.pinette.net/chris/startrek/klindict.html

the Klingon word for regret is "pay". There is no word for sorry.

7. I chose the British empire.
First of all, I speak the language. Seondly, who wouldn't want to be in one of those Horatio Hornblower movies?

A close second would be the Roman empire, but only if I could be a rich person with no political connections. That seems to best way of staying alive in the situation.

10. The Persian Empire.
Cyrus was a relatively tolerant emperor. He gave the Jews religious freedom, let the non-Persians continue to use Aramaic as a lingua franca, and didn't try and convert entire nations to Zoroastrianism.

The only reason the Third Reich is up there is... they may have been evil, but man did they have snappy uniforms!

18. I voted Galactic Empire, but I don't have a British accent
If I can't be a sneering, overconfident technocrat dressed like a Stürmbahnführer, I'm not so sure that I want to be in it.
