Hey there.
What is your favorite race?

Lets see which race comes out on top!

Hmmm,

No Contest! ROMULANS RULE!!!! lol

*sigh* There we go again...

Why can´t you Federation scumbacks just let it rest... Romulans are the way, Romulans rule the world, Romulans dictate the universe.
Just face it and let it rest

Romulans in the poll, but Borg are the best.

Klingons with romulans as second.

Just realise dthe poll is inaccurate, the ferengi are a minor in botf2 u wanna replace them with dominion

and the cardassian, what if i like the them better than this romulan only club..

things cardassians have got over romulans
1.photographic memory
2.actual mean streak, not just thinly veiled threats like a wuss
3.sense of humour
4.interesting enough to secure air time in trek franchise

things klingons have over romulans.
1.mean streak
2.emergency organs
3.sense of humour (most of them)
4. dont need ships the size of london to get the job done

things vulcans have over romulans
1. superior strength
2.mental discipline
3.probably a better sense of humour

things romulans have over single celled organsisms
1.?


lets face facts, the romulans are pretty pants, at least not worth your adoration. If trek were real, they would be taken the mick out of just as badly as the french are today... GET OVER THEM

They have cloaking systems for nearly all their ships.

Physically, Romulans and Vulcans have about the same strength. In any case it is more than double that of Humans
Conquering the universe does not require humor.

And last but not least, we still have some respect to other races and cultures Scum like the Cardassians do not.

No humor?

Hmmmm. Yes we have humor, your just not allowed to see it. Intelligence? Cardiassions with more then US? HA (That was funny)
Respect for the Klingon Empire sure. Even a tiny bit for the Federation, at least they keep thier words under treaties. But we watch then nevertheless We almost have more respect for ferengi then any cardiassion scum. Key word IS ALMOST!. They are nothing but cheap theves. They cannot gain anything unless theft is involved in the undertaking. As far as Warriors go. I have Tried to fight them many times, yet even when I was clearly outnumbered 7 to 1, they ran like the true cowards they are. They remind me of cockroaches. A simple bug to be squashed nothing more.

Borg are interesting. Boring but interesting. Dominion. Hmmmm, I compare them to knats, simply a nusaunce to be swatted away.

If our isolation is viewed as a weakness then you whom view are truly fooling themselves. careful least you feel the wrath of my battle crusiers
We are Romulan. If to be romulan has to be explained to you, you wouln't understand! HA ( more homor! )

almost forgot romulans have the incredible power of self deception..

i tend to believe vulcans are a more advanced version of romulans, ive never heard anyone on the show say a romulan was superstrong or superfast, ive never seen a romulan do anything to suggest any greater than human strength, i have seen a romulan get kicked in by the jem'hadar whilst ive seen sisko kick in a few jem'hadar (i dont hold that as concrete evidence, not all romulans/humans/jhd`s are the same yadda yadda yadda)

infact everything the romulans can do which makes them supposedly great so everyone else can do equally well or better.. you could say the same for everyone else, but i dont think it would be right, there is nobody more vicious on the battlefield than the klingons, there is no-one more insidiously deceptive than the cardassians (i hold up garak... and gul dukats betrayal of the alpha quadrant to the dominion as prime examples) theres no one more eternally optimistic than humans, no one more greedy than the ferengi and theres no one smarter than Q.

the romulans, nobodies better at not being great

Mark,

all is well and good. I'm no canon expert. Shoot I'm amased I can remember much of anything at my age! lol Why do I mention this? Well,
I somewhat recall, that on where on any of the shows did it go into great depth on any race other then human. As for the last couple days my cable has been running marathons of everything trek, I still do not recall anything with any depth other then the human race. Sadly I hate to say this, but the show is biased in that it is only shown from a human (Federation) perspective. It would be wonderful if they actually gave more info into each of the other races. Now I will concur that the Vulcans are superior in intellengence, keeping in mind that they ARE a distant Cousin of Romulans.

My Bias for being Romulan is purely personal. I take it only from the series and the game. More detail should have been given to the other major races involved, it would have been nice.

Following the shows, I found that I myself was drawn to the romulan peoples for the simple reason that when needed, they responces were always direct and to the point. Diplomacy used during any of the shows Clearly runs one sided. again Federation.. After all the shows were all about them. I reflect directly to the isolation the romulan people chose. Why be involved in the matters of other races, unless you suspect them of something. Romulans prefer to remain outside the "Box" , tending to thier own affairs.

All that I can recall is that when confronted they let it be known to outsiders to beware and to mind thier own affairs.

pyshically stronger ?? I have no idea. Not that I can ever say I observed in the shows. Higher intelect ? We were protrayed as being a bit pompus, but this was shown only from a Federation perspective.

I admire the ships they have ( refering to BOTF ) I admire the fact that they shared in the game an overconfidance in thier fighting abilities. I personally view this as it is all they know ( or chose to know ) by keeping themselves away from the other races.

My comments are stated in pure enjoyment. I enjoy the discussions and reverberations from all the members here. I state this as your post seemed (perhaps wrong on my part ) that our statements rattled you a bit. I apologize for that on my own part only. We all have different reasons for enjoying this race over that race (within the confines of the game) perhaps even from the shows. this is only a poll after all.

I understand your point that there are a lot of us whom do infact choose the Romulan empire. It can be over stated time and again. Each Race has a certain strength. Federation = diplomacy, Ferengi = finance, Klingon= Warfare, Cardiassion = Ruthlessness, and Romulan = stealth.

no one strenth is matter of fact better then another. The contrasts in fact are what make the series what they are.

My mocking of the other races is done in fun. Nothing more. It keeps with the play of the game and of the series. I'm sure those whom choose other races do the same.

For being such a weakling race as you put it, I find it interesting that on the shows when mentioned by other races, where showed on the faces of those speaking a quiet fear of the Romulan people. It is also a type of respect. All we have to go on as far as contact goes is just the Federation meeting with the Romulans. None of the others. Too bad too.

Thats all I can say.

I see your points Mark.

But the question following them obviously is: Why do we have such a great empire, if we are inferior in nearly each and every key ability of a spacefearing race?

The answer is simple: We do "good enough" (that's the reason why Microsoft was successful, after all). And we do secretly enough to make sure to be not uncovered. After all we are the true masters of secrecy - taht's what helps to stay alive.

I think the point of you not being able to admit our greatness is you don't know of all the things we've done in pale moonlight[1]

[1] This doesn't refer to the DS9-episode but as a general metaphoric picture ^^

haha ok ok im sorry i see your love of the romulans is beyond any argument or jibe

That's what love means, I guess

I'm actually surprised that there has bee no vote yet for the ferengi. I mean after all they do end up having more of everything but the other races do.

Ah... classic.

Romulans are fine, I guess. But you guys did let a lowly little human assassinate your whole ruling government, and build a ubership right under your noses. At the end of Nemesis, you could figure their whole government is in shambles. They are probably doing just a little better than Cardassia at this point in 'history', or future, or whatever.

Personally, I voted for the Klingons, and I would have considered the Cardassians, if they were there.

I think I know why no one has voted for the Ferengi - just who are the FERANGI listed in the options? 8O

I love nit picking I do (And no, i'm not a chimpanzee)

Pic , pic , pic, pic, pic!!!!! lol
