The resistance most likely don't have medical or dental. And also I bet they wouldn't smell good while living in the slums of a junk yard, on the other hand you have clean, smooth, police force that protecting the rich. Meaning they would be the closest thing to a middle class in this society, yes fewer in numbers but I rather smell good.

Protecting the RIch?? Damn them and their extra water rations. :wink_smile:

because smelling good is the key to victory when fighting a fictional war

Thats how the goodies in films and books win wars.

I'm gonna play as both i don't care which is right. Both sides are sweet. But mainly i'm gonna feel like part of the resistance.

This game is truely beautiful. I haven't seen any other game cause quite a split amongst so many players in idealology. It almost looks like there might be a civil war just on these forums.

I do not think that will happen, as soon as we finish one sides campaign we'll play the other. After that we can fully judge which sides has rights/wrongs/everything else.

ok so imagine you are working out in the hot sun all day long sweating as you weld metal over cracks in the hull of the ark being as the ark is a giant floating city it is essentially a giant house boat needing to be maintained and the only people you can get to do this work are refugees whos homes and lively hoods have been lost due to the flooding of the earth not to mention loss of family members and then these people are sweating and bleeding and toiling to keep the city you love afloat but when asking for water are denied because they are not considered citizens and have had their ration of water for the day How would that make you feel? it would make me feel i was being robbed and i would fight to see everyone gets their fair share of water not just those with money to burn

now you tell me liberator or terrorist

What money? You terrorist.

Well id imagine that like all cities that the ark would have some sort of Class separation being there would be Upper class (who are funding the security force) middle class and lower class and an addition of an even lower class being the refugees it would be naive to think there was no monetary system on the ark even in post apocalyptic situations which i think brink falls into there are the haves and have nots like in fall out it was bottle caps in land of the dead they still used American currency

You are assuming and we all know what happens when you assume. The Ark is unlike any entity known to earth and we can only know more when the devs tell us more.

The Security is fighting for their truth, the Resistance for theirs. The Security, have only an extra water ration (how big is a water ration, anyways?), and no extra benefits. With no incentive other than a single water ration, they fight to protect what seems to be the last bastion and hope for humanity in a world that has somehow denied all laws of physics and made more water out of the ice caps then is even possible.

everyone needs water to survive

Which is why i think that little part on the map that has the white balls could be water storage.. and if not than some other part of the map is.. but anyways there may be a map where the resistance must fight to take over the water source

Uhm. what? Where did you get this from?
1. I havent read anything to indicate as to why the Ark is cut off from everything else.
2. Yes, the nearby islands are flooded.. but small islands in the pacific will be under water and uninhabitable with very small changes in the watersurface level. Haiti had some sort of political meeting held entirely under water to draw attention to that they soon face that reality. (that was hours under water. It wasn't a small meeting)

1. There has been no communication with the world outside the Ark for 20 years. Pretty cut off.

Yes, I know it's cut off. I don't know WHY it's cut off. The guy I was responding too seemed to think that the whole world was flooded, like it was "back in Moses time" according to the bible.

I guess I can see the parallel, but I'm not sure that's the real reason.

They're not doing this because they're not concidered citizens. They are doing this work because you have to compensate for an extra person by putting someone to work. No one is denied water, the water is being rationed because there is a limited supply. Also, no one gets extra water rations (except the Security supposedly does) hence the ration. The war/rebellion is only burning resources and worsening conditions.

Global warming. But then then that will cause an ice age, but it won't matter since we will all fly off into space on a magical spaceship. Only to crash on the next planet we could live on and never exit [censored] remained in hyper sleep for thousands of years making everyone crazy.

i agree, but i'll choose the Security in the game too

neither side is right or wrong. Every thing is relative. Security fight to protect the founders of the Ark, the scientists required to keep the ark alive. They protect what little peace there is left. They are basicly defending the past, a system which has kept them alive, despite in terrible condition. To them the revolution is a rebel force which will destroy the core of their survival. They fight not only for the founders, but also the guests as ironic as that sounds. They believe that the founders are the only ones who can keep the Ark afloat and the dwindling resources from drying up.

The revolution fights to force change, and liberate the guests. They fight for equality. They call for change in a system which has treated them unfairly.To them Security merely hides the founders from facing the truth. They belive that if the founders continue as they do, they will be suffer more and more hardships until they are either forced off the ark or simply die in the midst of plauge and famine.

both have their good and bad sides

security wishes for harmony and peace but neglect the worsening conditions of the guests
revolution wishes for equality and change yet they see no way other than civil war

The security's extra water ration (if it exists) is understandable. I mean if you were told to serve in the military of a country on the brink of a civil war, you arent gonna simply say sure why not. You need the water, you're gonna be fighting all day and quite possibly all night. And its kinda understandable they dont give the revolution extra water, since when would you give water to an insugance. Of course the revolution is also understandably at war. You work all day and you dont even get enough water to last you half of it, while the founders seem to be living way off in their silver towers. It wouldn't be unreasonable to believe the water is being kept from you.

Both sides will have their heroes and both sides will have their villans. its just which end of the stick you're holding, and their both equally [censored].

I think this is what you meant to say, so don't worry, I fixed it .

LOL I was wondering where all the Security guys had wandered off to.

Hahaha im laughin my ass off at that. Yes, i'm sure that is exactly what he meant to say. :rofl:
