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.

I choose Stormcloaks without having played the game. I don´t think it´s racist to defend one´s own country, those are just modern ideas with no rhyme or reason. I would call invaders of my own country whatever name I could think of, and believe me, I do...

Mirocu , i to thought the stormcloaks were the right way , i admit i still have got sympathy for ulfric

but . ultimatly if the humans are going to survive they need a united front , skyrim is like the USA was to Britain during the world wars . somebody once said britain was the hero , france the martyr , america the victor .

cyrodill (france) is strong but it is , for one thing , on the border of the thalmor ,it has a large army and a strong economy , but ultimatly not as strong as the thalmore , its also for nationlistic .

When war comes cyrodill is the first place to bear the brunt , just like france was ,Britain was able to keep up its power because a. it had france as a meatshield and b . it has the channel to stop a direct land invasion ( im british dont accuse me of being anti-british )

cyrodill (fr) will always be the firts to fall in the war m this is where most of the battles will be fought , only if the cyrodill is tottally under occupation ( this almsot happended during the great war , only bruma held out because it had skyrim protecting it) then the thalmore could of launched an attck on the rest of the empire.

This was basically what happended with france , however the CORE differance was britain was detrmined and it had a very powerful defense , germany could not invade because a . it lost the air war and b. it couldnt defeat the royal navy , as such a land invasion was impossible.

with skyrim it differant , only with skyrim ( the united states) backing did cyrodill mamnage a turn-aorund in the war , if skyrim had not helped cyrodill would of lost the war .

If war came now and skyrim was indepedant , then the empire would lose , if ulfric united with hammerfell ( russia) and highrock ( Britain) then they might still be able to win the war , but the fate of humanity and creation itself would hang in the balance.

if britain , usa , fr , and of cource lets not forget russia , had not all united then they would of lost the war , like with hammerfell russia fought a bloody war of attrition that resulet in WW2 with 20 million soviets dead . france fought hard and slowly sapped the strength of germany , britain crushed germany trade , and it air/navy crippiled germany , it also lead a succesful land campain to help the french ( its worth mentioning the british empire candians here , who did exceptionally well )

the usa , fresh and still pumping out rersoureces when europe was exhasted , could basically just tank men into france , theres a question whether without america the war could of been won ( much more so in world war 2)

i see the four provence like the four powers , cyrodill is france with powerful army but it will always get overwhelmed , russia is hammerfel with determined warrirors whom can gradually beat the thalmor , high rock is britain with strong support armies and the crucial naval strength , skyrim is usa with powerful eco and lots of soldiers.

if you dont have one you lose , its that simple.

sorry i have gone on , but thats how i see it.
