To me, it just seems really really odd that somebody would choose to play a character from a society that's basically diametrically opposed to their own political beliefs.

I apologize sincerely for this post.

Whoops.

Why are you trying to inject real world politics into a game?

That's what I call extreme role playing.

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

Please explain how you come to the conclusion that Caldari = liberals.

They somehow managed to get every freak and creep in the universe in this one game, and then somehow managed to let them take it over, and then they somehow managed to stick us right smack in the middle.

No Gallente = liberals, Caldari = Conservatives, hence he is asking why a liberal would choose Caldari

Caldari =/= liberals. They are corporate oligarchies. That is the point of post. Smile

Why do some "special" individuals think that whatever one chooses to do in this game = what youd do in real life..?

Its not like WoW has a bunch of loons running around screaming "YOU SADISTIC SOCIOPATH I BET YOU LIKE HURTING ELVES IN REAL LIFE TOO!"

So.. Why in EVE? I just dont get it..

People choose Caldari so when they come to a rally they can symbolically shed the "square" life before the drum circle and become one with their rosta roots as they reject the corporate meglogopy of their parents and be a true rebel star child. It's like meta-enlightened duude

Okay, see, now that's a completely straighforward answer that's extremely helpful. Thank you.
