Which civilization do you find most appealing? (Now with all 3 options!)

Xiru

I figured we had polls for race and class, why not one for player civilizations? So, which one do you find most appealing and/or plan to play in?

Xiru

There's obviously some time between now and launch so I'm looking forward to the chance to see all three locations, and see how they match up with what I have in my head. (A non-permanent alpha weekend would be really nice to be able to see these places first-hand.) But really, this:

"The population lives in tunnels, artificial caverns, deep canyons, and, for those who can afford it, huge biodomes on the surface." 

I think this is the first time that I didn't need my character to be rich, I just want a nice cavern for her to live in. But of course, the Ascendancy has a lot of fun locations as well and I haven't decided which one I'm going for at launch.

I will use my home on the floating city as a base while I try to save the planet below.

Khargal

While some are busy saving planet, others have a war to win in order to ensure safety of new paradise

In the Ascendency I see the greatest potential to betray.

Mal

Ascendancy if I can work out a way to be from the prison. Maybe born and raised in it and very anti-Ascendancy. Or a prisoner from.... yes Scatterhome which would be my second choice if I can't figure out a good way to sabatoge from inside.

Jerom

I don't really feel any particular appeal to any of the orgs. Maybe Scatterhome because it is home to a large number of Elgan, the race I intend to play.

Dodger

The concept of Scatterhome appeals to me beyond anything else. But I've always been a fan of the gritty "duct tape and prayers" types.

I like the idea that Scatterhome is so popular. It could really mask sinister or traitorous actions.

Xiru

I wish there was a way to change my answer because the longer I think about it, the more I lean toward the Ascendancy.

Logonkha

All the player nations have their draw, and I think I would enjoy being in any one of them.  I'll start in the Ascendancy, as there will be a Nath-el presence established for my character.

Victoria

Scatterhome! Cavern house ftw.

Archer

Are the races limited to the cities they can join?

Any race can join any city.

Zion

I still have absolutely 0 ideas.

The Celestine Ascendancy has rather absurd wealth differences, which would likely drive my character insane, and Scatterhome seems like a dubious place to fly a lightly armed trade caravan through repeatedly, so Song it is.

Or you could hire some mercenaries to protect you.

That's what draws me to the Ascendancy, including the part where it would drive my character insane.
