OT Which would you Choose

[mac5732]

If you had a real life choice of being any of the below, which one would you choose... Pick only 1

[Randallw]

I chose between SG1 and DS9. I probably would have chosen a SG team if it was another one in say Atlantis, but I picked DS9 so I might get involved in the Dominion war.

[Kamog]

I'll choose to be a member of the crew of the Enterprise, but only if my shirt color isn't red.

[Atrocities]

I would never want to be a "member" of the federation because they are to fascist for my tastes. Telling what you can and cannot do to the nith degree. No thanks, I would rather be Ferengi.

I looked at the question as "which of these sci-fi universes will most allow me to live in techno-utopian comfort."

Originally I thought about one of the Trek ones, with the intention of resigning from Starfleet immediately and getting a safer job as a trader or something, cruising between different planets to see all the different planets meet all the different aliens.

However, then I thought about how phonging annoying the whole Trekoverse has become, and how all the aliens are just humans with bumpy heads and voted for Firefly. Sure, life would be difficult and dangerous, but it would sure as hell be fun. What's more, you get to hang out with Kaylee (yum). Besides, I reckon you could do pretty well for yourself in the Firefly universe, stealing and scavenging like they do on the show, and there'd be lots of interesting sights to see.

Mind you, given the option I'd probably choose the Honorverse over any of the previous options (but again, I'd resign from the military immediately. Too damned dangerous.) You'd want to make sure you were living in a stable and civilised part of the galaxy though (ie Manticore, Solarian core), Weber's galaxy is pretty cutthroat and if you don't arrive with any useful skills/ resources life would be extremely hard.

My absoulte favourite option though, would be to live on a Culture orbital or GCU: All your material needs taken care of by benign, God-like Machines; insanely powerful tech and body mods/ upgrades; limitless time and resources for every possible form of leisure you can imagine (and plenty more you can't); a whole galaxy of interesting aliens to live amongst and worlds to explore; effective immortality if you want it... Now *that's* how you want to future to look=-)

ROFLMAO !!!

[Randallw]

because I have been reading what I assume is the same RPG.com thread.

[MasterChiToes]

Well, since SG1 and B5 are the only options for ascension... and B5 only gives it to messianic elites like Sheridan. I'll choose SG1 while Oma is still helping people out.

I remember when the NIST-connected clocks at work went haywire, displaying random times -- cinder block walls play havoc with radio communications, as anyone knows (apparently the people in charge were not included in the group known as anyone.)

I would tell people that the laws of physics were breaking down, and I expected a wormhole to form soon, and that I was jumping through as soon as I saw it.

Of course there would be oxygen, and food I could eat there. Everything would be the same, except it would be populated with hot chicks with blue skin, or grey skin, or bright red hair and a voice that melts metal.

In other words, I vote Farscape.
