Well, lets make the world burn. For xtra fun, votes are not secret :p. As you can see, the poll is 100% impartial.
Ariadna The miniatures don't fit for my RPG needs, they tend to be a little ugly, wolfs in space annoys me even if I do kinda like them here. A faction both under and overpowered. I still have PTSD from the first time playing against them... "Oh you can deploy flamethrowers so close to my deployment zone?" or "whats a Van Zant?" Screw you Ariadna!
Not a fan of Tohaa. I hate playing against them and the majority of their models are so unappealing to me that I won't collect them.
Tohaa by a long shot. I feel like the other factions play somewhat similarly but Tohaa just behaves so differently with their symbiomates and armor that it just isn't fun to play against. Not to mention I just don't like the aesthetic.
I don't hate any of them. I have no interest in some of them, like Ariadna, Tohaa, and Combined Army. Tohaa is probably the most annoying to face, because they seem to have so many special rules. Then again I do play Aleph, so it is probably a matter of perspective. I love the Nomads, more specifically I love to tease a good friend of mine who plays Nomads. Dirty space pirates! They will be shown their place!
Tohaa by far – all the other factions feel flavorful and balanced and playing against/with toga just feels like throwing the rulebook out the window.
That's the point! They behaves different and because the 0815 tactic doesn't work, they get all the hate. @dexterv is it fun to make a poll where the result is for everybody, who plays more then a quarter year what the result will be? I'm used to the normal Tohaate, but must you willfully offend us? BTW I personally don't like negative polls like these one, who's only point is to point nasty with a finger to somebody. (mic drop)
I play Druze, I love Druze, I voted NA2! Why? Because god damn Ikari stole our thunder, our cool units and our fluff as the worst merc mofos out there. Hate them so much! besides that probably space smurfs
I look at Druze and think "Bad Paramilitaries" I look at Ikari and just think "Space Pirates". I get what you mean though. I look at all the NA2 stuff and then I look at QK and I feel bad...
It's obviously the writers-pet, PC-faction... The Nomads. It's especially telling that they are the faction which you could easily delete from the setting with zero impact.
I disagree, removing Nomads would have a huge impact. They inject a lot of themes into the settings. The organized crime theme, the spacer theme, the counter-culture theme, the transhuman theme (ok Aleph does this too, but the Nomads have less optimistic take on the subject). You could argue the setting would be better without the Nomads (you would be wrong, but you could argue it.) I don't think you could successfully argue that their removal would have zero impact. (It certainly would have an impact on sales numbers.)
Besides, if you remove the Nomads, who would I mock and make fun of? The Tohaa? Too easy of a target.
Nope, every one of those things is already there in other places. Organised Crime in Submundo, Spacers in Human Edge, Counter-Culture in PanOceania and Yu Jing (done better because it's not in isolation, so it actually makes sense), Transhumanism in ALEPH and PanOceania and Yu Jing (and a bit in Haqqislam). Ditching the Nomads could be done so easily that it's even more obvious that they are (one of the two) PC insert factions.
"Nomads are interesting and varied in both fluff and mechanics and therefore should be removed to make other factions look less boring" is a bold take, I'll grant you
