Col. Whipstick Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 We've probably done this before once upon a time but in that case maybe it's time to revive it. I'd like to run a poll so we can vote which fraction is winning the most support from our members. Consider this a declaration of war. X-D A poll that suggests everyone vote for what they consider themselves: 1. Pirates 2. Soldiers (Blues) 3. Imperial Guards (Reds) 4. Islanders 5. Imperial Armada Quote
MagPiesRUs Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) Although all of my avatars are pirates, I think I'm an Imperial Soldier at heart (plus it's always safe to be on Bonaparte's side X-D ) Viva L'Empereur ON! >:-) Edited December 20, 2007 by TinyPiesRUs Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) I have a multiple person problem my shrink said, yarg! So i'm a pirate, a smuggler and an Admiral, i have 6 ships and a fort, so if you want war, it's on!! :-P War on, harrr! Edited December 20, 2007 by Captain green hair Quote

Well I don't think the lego fractions are supposed to be representing anyone exactly or they would have done a better job of it. The Reds and Blues are just generic of European empires at the time. And anyway you're from a British colony, what are you doing supporting Napolean, shame on you. It's not like you're in danger of being invaded all the way down there. I have a multiple person problem my shrink said, yarg!So i'm a pirate, a smuggler and an Admiral, i have 6 ships and a fort, so if you want war, it's on!! :-P War on, harrr! Well as lego didn't make any Privateer fractions or for that matter any kind of neutral or merchant set I'd still always consider you a pirate given the options. Some pirates surely had a few ships and were admirals in the losest sense of the word anyway. Edited December 20, 2007 by Col. Whipstick Quote
Brickulator Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Arrr! I be a pirate. I'll blast ye landlubbers with me cannonballs! Avast ye on the poop deck ahoy! Quote
Col. Whipstick Posted December 20, 2007 Author Posted December 20, 2007 So far I make that... 2 Pirates 1 Soldier 1 Imperial Guard 0 Islanders 0 Imperial Armada Quote
Fordo Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I'd be safe to say that the Imperial Soldiers Rule in this realm having 500+ soldiers and calvary alone if we combined mine and Bonaparte's armies together. Quote
SlyOwl Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Shouldn't this have been a poll? Yes. Phes? I'm a Pirate King... SlyOwl Quote
El Bucanero Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Shouldn't this have been a poll? You do not have the ability to post a poll before you are a knight. Dear Col. Whipstick is still a vassal. For some strange reason I can't add a poll anymore.. strange.. Quote
Col. Whipstick Posted December 20, 2007 Author Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) Shouldn't this have been a poll? It should be but I can't make a poll. Hopefully one of the big wigs around here will notice my thread and put a poll on it. Anyway, let me take this opportunity to welcome you to the forum Brickulator, the more the merrier and certainly if you have a lot to say, we seem to have loads of members but few you'd call active. I know I'm not one of the big wigs here but sure they'll give you the official welcome aboard when they get to it. I'd be safe to say that the Imperial Soldiers Rule in this realm having 500+ soldiers and calvary alone if we combined mine and Bonaparte's armies together. Well fortunately this isn't based on the numbers of minifigs as that would be impossible to prove but by the affiliation of our members. I have more pirates than anything and more blues than reds personally but I'm still an Imperial Guard at heart and so far the only one to this thread. I think the Islanders are going to come off the worst here... Yes. Phes?I'm a Pirate King... SlyOwl Don't get too comfortable with that title laddie... the Royal Navy is watching you.

Norrington Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 Don't get too comfortable with that title laddie... the Royal Navy is watching you. X-D *chuckle* Indeed.I am allmost 50% French, but I love Britiain more, so I can't decide. It's a tie between The Gaurds and the Soldiers. Quote

It's a tie between The Gaurds and the Soldiers. Well ask yourself whether the blue or red uniforms have to represent France and Britain? Just choose which colour you preffer, afterall Lego never called them French or British and that's what this poll is about - what Lego created not what we interpret. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted December 20, 2007 Governor Posted December 20, 2007 I thought regular users had the power to create polls. If they don't let me know and I'll rectified that so I don't have to do it every bloody time X-D Quote
Scouty Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 I will always be an Imperial Soldier!! *sing* Quote

babyjawa Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) I put myself down as a pirate, as they are awesome. But I'm not of a thief, so I'm a nice pirate... X-O My next choice would be the Armada. Edited December 20, 2007 by babyjawa Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted December 20, 2007 Governor Posted December 20, 2007 Thank you kindly sir... My my, Mr Phes, you didn't vote for the Armada forces? It's a mystery what I voted... Quote
Col. Whipstick Posted December 20, 2007 Author Posted December 20, 2007 It's a mystery what I voted... Well at the time I voted there was only two votes and seeing as I'd only just voted when you'd made the poll I am surprised by your choice and here I thought you were a Conquistador through and through.

Governor Mister Phes Posted December 20, 2007 Governor Posted December 20, 2007 You're making assumptions there sir X-D Quote
Capn Frank Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 ...nice pirate... X-O A nice pirate? X-O This doesn't make any sense *wacko* X-D Evil Captain Phred will always be a pirate! >:-) Arrrrrr. :-) P Quote
Scouty Posted December 20, 2007 Posted December 20, 2007 It's a mystery what I voted... It is, shame you wont tell us. If I had to choose a second, it would be the Conquistadors. Quote

X-D You're right, but I always think of them as real nations. In actual fact, I like the colour red better than blue, but I think blue looks better on the soldiers. Although I do like them both very much *sweet* In fact, I love all of the pirate factions *wub* Quote
babyjawa Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 A nice pirate? X-O This doesn't make any sense *wacko* X-D Well, it doesn't have too. :-P I'm a nice pirate, and that's just how it is. Quote
Col. Whipstick Posted December 21, 2007 Author Posted December 21, 2007 Well, it doesn't have too. :-P I'm a nice pirate, and that's just how it is. Worked for Johnny Depp I suppose but nice or not if we catch you, it's off to the gallows! X-D Quote
