I joined both, but if I were to choose one, it'd be Ravenclaw.

I'm Hufflepuff :metal
This time I have chosen The Empire. Their logo looks noble, not like some dictatorial empire. I hope there will be peace at the end, happy ending, Empire and Rebels fighting together for everyone's well being :) (I already have concept in my head :P)

Joined both, but before I knew I could do that, I joined the rebels first.

I chose GNE but I'm not sure.  Maybe I should have gone with RRM.

:) gotta start using the acronyms :)

Yeah, I joined both as well but chose the Empire 1st.

Is this going to be the Skyrim / Game of Thrones of DT?

Another_Won

So it doesn't really matter which one you choose?  I got a confirmation of subscribing to the DT newsletter.  It just has the old album artwork on it.

Ravenskill first, but then both.

Although this gives us nothing new, I'm suddenly excited. Bring it on.

Great Northern Empire. I really wonder what they're going to do with this dual protagonist thing

Quote from: wkiml on June 08, 2012, 09:06:35 AMwould have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related

So.. That thing that appears on the "Thank You" screen.. It has six "eyes" on it.. sixth band member confirmed?

I chose Empire.

I believe we are calling that thing the NOMAC.

Whatever it is, it has to relate to the theme of the album somehow, right? This is all getting very interesting.

Put in for both, but would go for Ravenskill if I had to choose only one. C'mon guys. It's ravens and rebels. :hat

If Star Wars taught us anything, it's that the Empire is bad and the Rebels are good.

But... the Empire logo looks "good" and the rebel ones looks "evil", I'm undecided!

(From a narrative point of view, it would actually be something not cliched to have a good empire trying to resist an evil rebellious movement... we've all seen those bring-down-the-tyrants kind of scenarios)

if the empire is familiar dt territory and the rebel group is something new and interesting then def the rebels thanks

While I agree that the artwork doesn't necessarily look too polished, I find the design interesting -

The Great Northern Empire's design has two rings which interlock, while the Ravenskill Rebel Militia's logo is in an "x" shape or a starfish shape. If you superimpose them on top of each other, they roughly form the shape of the Majesty symbol.

Also, The Great Northern Empire looks fantasy themed (and has a fancy cursive font in the email dialogue box), while the Ravenskill Rebel Militia's aesthetic seems more futuristic (with a more computer-like front in the email dialogue box).

That's a great observation. You are dead on with that.

As I plan to be a double spy, I joined both.

As in real life.  I know your origins.   :lol

Voted for the Empire as I'm from the North, but apart from that I have no idea what I've done! How long will we have to wait to discover the meaning of this 'random' poll...?


Lowdz

I've always been a rebel. I'd probably play both sides though...
