Unlike the empires, the cartels don't have historic bands of the faithful here on the D2. Mostly, this poll is intended as a tool for you. I hope it will help you see where the numbers are going, where the people are going, where the numbers are needed, and whom you might like to fly for. This poll allows you to change your vote should you decide you need to move.

You can go here for the background description of each Cartel: http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163366564.msg1122704005.html#msg1122704005

Yes, we need all eight cartels. The number Eight is a very nice number that can be cut to 4 during the second stage of the campaign, and then again cut to two in the third stage. No other number works as nicely.

There is no need for all eight to have equal numbers, since by the endgame we should have two very equitable sides squaring off against each other for the final victory. Remember, however, the more the numbers spread out among the eight, the more fun eveyrone will have. Don't worry aobut not being in the same cartel as all your favorite wingmen right at the start of the game. Odds are many of you will be in the same cartel by the time the party is over.

Leaders we have so far:

The Orion Cartel: Master of Orion, Lord of the Flies, FSD Skaren

Crimson Shadow (House Korgath):

Prime Industries: Praetor-in-Exile Tobin Dax and his four-headed Daemon Julin

The Camboro Cartel: One-eyed Risky the dancing Llama from scene 17

The Tiger Heart Cartel: The Dread Pirate Hexx

The Beast Raiders: Sixteen men on a Deadman's chest

The Syndicate: The nameless Villain

The Wyldefire Compact: D'Emon Rum on the Flying Dutchman

The First Stuckey has decreed that the Flying Circus shall fly as Beast Riders. While I think this is insane, he is the First Stuckey, and as such, I'll be forced to fly this Cartel, irregardless of how crazy it may seem....

Portraying Beast Raiders cartel as religious freaks are you? I say, that sounds wrong.

"Ni"

<Agave looks back over his shoulder> "Hush, they'll hear you!"

"Ni"

"NO, NO, NO. Be quiet back there"

"NI..........NI..........NI..........NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <cough, cough, mumble> NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK"

"Oh, all right, I'll tell them."

We, of the Flying Circus, formally known as the Knights Who Say "Ni...."

"Ni"

"Well, some of us anyway."

"I'm here to proclaim that all of your treasure WILL BE OURS! As pirate raiders (of a beastly sort) we shall capture all your goodies and re-distribute them to our liking. Try not to resist too much as this will cause us to spank you endlessly around this galactic quagmire of ours."

"Ni!"

"And, yes, of course, say NI to you, or Ekky-ekky-ekky-ekky-z'Bang, zoom-Boing, z'nourrrwringmm, or even the occasional Aaaaarrrrrrrrgghhh"

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Sorry to hear that you be recieving me boarding maties soon Padre.....I had hoped you would forsake the frocking cloth and fly for a real cause......Power, Wealth, and the ability to weild both at will.

I still likes the first answer to what is best in life though....."Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of thier yoemen....err....women.

Thank you for you comment about me in another thread. I don't feel I rated it, but thank you just the same!

Ohhh.....forgot one thing. Which cartel is it that I'll be flying for? My boarding parties will explain it all to you........AARRRGGHHH!

I should make this official...

I've been accepted (hired) by Prime Industries. Stand and deliver, or the devil he may take you...

Skaren · « **Reply #13 on:** May 01, 2006, 12:38:59 pm »

I will be flying for the The Wyldefire Compact.

On the bridge of Skaren's Flagship a report comes in from Security...

Lieutenant Wetpants,.. "Captain, we have discovered a spying device. On deck, C a Horned Denebulan Devil Fly was found to carrying a nano technology eavesdropping device."

Captain Skaren,.. "Arrgg, can't trust a soul, best relay that the spy on the Clan leaders Flagship go dormant for a time, he may be onto us! Keep alert crew, for anymore of those Demonic Fly Devices. Also yellow alert we are nearing the Wyldefire rally point, better yet RED alert, we can always say we detected a strange anomaly nearby!"

Battle Stations! Battle Station!

Bump!

Looks like three cartels are off the ground, but we still need more in the others. We especially need Orion and Syndicate members.

Orion is in the center, wealthier section of the galaxy. The Syndicate is in the more sparsely populated north east section of the map, but has lots of room to spread out in. (Yeah, I need to get a map graphic up. I built one yesterday, then it mysteriously vanished!) Both groups have the distinct characteristic of thinking they are better than everyone else.

Surely there are some of you out there who think you are better than everyone else?

Hexx already took TigerHeart.

Herr Burt · « **Reply #16 on:** May 03, 2006, 09:25:16 am »

We seem to have lost our one Korgath player, and still have no leadership for the Orion Cartel, House Korgath, or the Syndicate.

Come on guys, let's rattle some cages. We really need at least two or three in each cartel.

And remember, even if you pirate group does not do well in the first week, it will be folded into another group at the end of the week and that will help balance teams out. Then we get balanced again at the end of the second week. I love it.

Hexx · « **Reply #18 on:** May 03, 2006, 01:18:41 pm »

..

What heppens after I have a lovely week flying by myself with no one whining or crying or screaming over TS.

Does this mean I'm going to have to absorb one of the inept cartels into mine?

Dfly · « **Reply #19 on:** May 03, 2006, 01:26:26 pm »

Wow, Hexx got a warning

. Will Skaren get one too? will I

, I guess I missed Hexx's.
