Stormcloak Or Imperial, Which side are you on? Options

[King Of Beasts]

Welcome! Which side are you on? Are you a strong, patriotic Stormcloak? Or are you a loyal, sophisticated Imperial? What about a powerful Thalmor Mage? Do you believe Ulfric Stormcloak truly cares about the good people of Skyrim, and agree that the Empire has turned it's back on Skyrim and Talos, or do you believe that the Stormcloaks are just a bunch of rebels, under a false leader who cares about nobody but himself? Perhaps you're a Thalmor agent who's just going to sit back and enjoy the show?

Please no arguing, insulting, flaming, etc, etc. Debates are welcome as long as they don't get out of hand. In this thread you can pick what side you chose and explain why.

Thank You,

I chose the Stormcloaks. Honestly, the empire turned their backs on all of Tamriel, and abandoning Talos made everything worse. I think Titus Mede is a complete coward. I don't think Uriel Septim would have surrendered to the Thalmor even if he was at the wrong end of a Thalmor blade. He'd want the empire to keep fighting.

Truthfully, I think Ulfric Stormcloak is a racist, self centered [censored], but he does have a good cause.

McBadgere? What do you have to say for yourself, elf-lover!

Ah, the joys of knocking one off at dinner time...A quick reply, damn you!!...Tch...

Aaaamywho...

As portrayed in Skyrim, the Empire is weak and Tithead Meade is a pathetic excuse for even a puppet Emperor; Ulfric Fatar$e is rude, dim and just no use as a ruler; Madmax and the Forsworn are just savages and don't deserve anything bar the smacking they get...The Thalmor are a bunch of arrogant tw@ts that should have been sent to the bottom of the sea the instant they got in range of the Cyrodiilic Navy...

What I should have said, is that rather than standing idly by and watching them all fight amongst themselves, I would, in fact, as the Dragonborn, kick the living sh*te out of all of them and then set up a ruling council, with many decent advisors and Jarls to do what is right...

Which is pretty much exactly what I'm heading for in my fanfic, just with the added bonus of the still existing Templars *Cough*...Knights of The Nine and a decent and strong Empire THAT LEATHERED THE SHITE OUT OF THE DAMNED THALMOR IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!! *pantpantpant*...

That do you?... ...

Arrogant tw@ts?! Us? Let us take a moment to review history, shall we? While the Argonians and Khajiit were bounding around on all fours baying at the moons we were exploring and mapping the continents of Tamriel. Torval the Pilot acquired the Eight Islands that today serve as the site of your White Gold Tower by teaching the beastfolk natives to read! I don’t remember men buying it back from us. You pitch your proverbial tent in my home and call me arrogant because I insist that it’s mine?! We built the great towers throughout this land. We provided a language, a history, and a culture which you have since usurped, and you have the nerve to speak of our arrogance!

For centuries Elves lived in harmony with humans. The Social History of Cyrodiil remembers that ‘Malcontents, dissidents, rebels, landless younger sons, all made the difficult crossing from Atmora to the ‘New World’ of Tamriel.’ These humans came and lived amongst us in harmony ... they did not come looking to usurp a land not their own. We accommodated every human who wanted to flee his own homeland for greater opportunity in our land. We asked only that they respected our laws and sovereignty, which we had every right to do!

Only in Skyrim did this accommodation break down. Ysgramor and his ilk fled civil war in their native Atmora only to make war here in Tamriel. They arrived, looked around, and arrogantly stated that, not only was Skyrim now theirs, but High Rock and Morrowind were now their personal property as well! It mattered not to them that Elves and men had existed there in harmony for centuries. Is that not the very height of arrogance? Do not speak to me of ‘Skyrim belongs to the Nords!‘ It never did! Were it left to me I would send every ‘proud son of Skyrim’ back to their true mother in Atmora ... and make them learn to live off of a teat too cold to suckle!

Yes, well, I believe that what you're talking about through most of that are the Altmer...Not the Thalmor...I believed that the Thalmor and the Aldmeri Dominion were not representative of all Altmer? as in, surely all the Altmer that were born and lived away from the Summerset Isles or Valenwood were quite happy with where they were with the countries as they found them before the black boots decided to try plant themselves on innocent and the unable to fight back necks of the general populace of many countries?...

My problem is with the Thalmor, not the Altmer in general...


(While I'm sure there's going to be a lenthy riposte about how the Thalmor are the original Altmer, I have no idea, as it's only a game I play and I tend to have just the crib notes version of the history to be able to refer to ...It is, only a game... )...
