I have been doing my Praetorian duty by killing large numbers of Longbow and Arachnos.Less opposition makes for a easier takeover,in addition several heroes have been crushed beneath my boot.

All for the glory of Praetoria!

Hail Emperor Cole!

What have I done? I have remained steadfast. We have little to fear from the so called "resistance."

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Long live praetoria!

In the beginning the universe was created, this upset many people and is widely regarded as a bad idea.

Dont hate the minty freshness

As no one corrected me until now, I just assumed that I was correct.I know now. Thanks!

Now, let's crack open the etymology on the word "hysterical" for a second, shall we...? ;-) ))

Or, to put it another way...

We have far nobler goals and virtues than worrying about every little word. Whereas you pass your spelling bees and run "Spell checks", we ensure a perfect society, in which everyone is protected, loved, and given a place!

You spell Onomatopoeia from memory. We'll run the world via the glorious beacon of light that is Praetoia. Deal? Deal.
Sorry...

where is everyone getting the "faction" logos for Going Rogue?

I think they're somewhere in the News and Announcements section - I'll try and find the thread for you.

EDIT:

Here they are:

What are we? We are Loyalists? To whom are we loyal? Emperor Cole. But not just to him. To his vision and what he has given us.

We have clean streets and safe neighborhoods. We have the chance to improve our lives by our own means and we have nights safe in bed without worrying that super powered villains or... vigilantes... will break into our house for their selfish reasons or misguided ideals of justice.

In every society you must sacrifice something. In Primal Earth, they sacrifice safety and opportunity, content to let the poor stay poor and the dangerous stay on the streets. Their justice is a world where the more expensive lawyers mandate what actions are and are not okay. Where vileness can hide behind a shield of technicalities and loop holes. What do we sacrifice here? Our worst traits. Our doubts. Our insecurities.

In Praetoria... we are happy.

Why are we allowing that to be threatened? Why!?

To arms, to arms! Coming soon... oh so soon, the Resistance will make their move. Our response will not be apathy nor ignorance. It will, shall, and must be power, pride, and unity. We are not just loyal to Emperor Cole. We are loyal to our families, to our friends, to our very way of life.

Do not let your moniker be an insult, for we know who we are and for what we would do.

We. Are. Loyalists.

There is NO honor in tyranny! We will RESIST!

I think you meant to write "And now we put an end to this so called 'resistance'."

I was already great. Just like our wonderful Emperor and his Praetors.

total kick to the gut

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

After long thought, I pity the Resistance. They are well meaning but wrong. My original statements stand. I respect their view point, but the strength of Emperor Cole's empire must not be even slightly threatened, lest the house of cards falls and Hamidon rains down destruction.

It grieves me to excise the Resistance, but it must be done. With force.

I pity them too.

As B.A. often said on The A-Team. "I pity the fools!"

Resistance is futile. You will be exterminated.

Then I'm sorry that it has come to this. I will be forced to hold you in one of my custom Tesla Cages while the PPD come to pick you up. What happens from there is none of my concern, but I hope it involves you seeing the error of your ways.

I originally thought I would go Resistance all the way with my new characters, but I came up with a few fun concepts for Loyalist characters while I was in the beta.

For one, I came up with a story for what happened to the US reservations and American Indians during the Hamidon Wars. Basically, pockets managed to survive the destruction with the help of the animal spirits of their old faiths, who empowered a champion to protect The People. Then Emperor Cole discovers where they're hiding and invites them to safty in Praetoria City with the promise that they can keep their cultures alive. This wins their loyalty and the champion joins the Powers Division... and that's where my character starts the tutorial.

I really love the lore the devs have created in Praetoria and I've come up with a bunch of concepts for boyt Loyalists and Resistance. I'm very excited to dive in!
