Choose the battlefield You're dying on

[thiosk]

Wherever the God Emperor needs my service is where I will likely die.

I'm in a U-boat type VII, I've just sank a British battleship but while sneaking away, a plane scored a lucky hit and 10 destroyers zeroed in on my position. For 10 hours I've survived depth charges and managed to get to periscope depth and sank 9 of them. I have no more torpedoes and my air supply is running low. Batteries are almost dead. And the last destroyer has a damn good skipper. We blow all ballast and quickly rise to the surface for a suicide head on collision.

This actually happened to me while playing Silent Hunter 3... ah.. the good times.

Above Earth, on the Argonev Battle station Olympus, a millenia away, Sins of a Solar Empire Universe. The Darkness (Vasari ancient enemy) invaded, destroyed the entire fleet. Their troops entered the Olympus, killed almost all my men, and start to invade the bridge. I program the Olympus with a special program, but before I can act, they arrive. My men try to defend the bridge, but the Darkness are too many, and most of they die. They shoot me in the stomag, and let me live when they finish of the rest of the people. Then this:

Darkness Commander: You lost. The Olympus is mine, and soon, Earth will fall.

Me: No, you lost. (Take the detonator) See you in hell. (activates)

In that moment, the Olympus overrides, killing the Darkness entire fleet, and saving Earth.

My name will be honored forever.

 

[Corporal Yakob]

Battered, bruised and bleeding, swinging the jammed form of a Mauser G98 like a club at the Allied hordes in a filthy waterlogged cesspit of a trench in 1918, refusing to give an inch to the enemy even as the war effort collapses and dragged down by weight of numbers and hacked to death with bayonets, spitting defiance to the bloody end.

The trenches in 1917, I don't know why, since I would become another nameless grave, or forgotten body left in no mans land, but I have always wanted to experiance WW1. This is why I would love a Holo suite.

Me too-same with WW2, the Vietnam war, the US Civil War, just about any war you can think of. I have no idea why, especially considering the extreme likliehood of a horrible death, maybe I'm just stupidly idealistic or plain weird.

Jactinto. The captain always goes down with the ship. (or in this case,the city.)

I would choose to perish not on some godforsaken battlefield where one fights with guns, swords, or bare fists. No sir. I would instead choose to leave this world on the glorious battlefield of political debate. Instead of explosions of fire, they would be explosions of rhetoric. Passive aggressive bullets zinging past my head. Yes indeed. That is the way I want to go. Probably die from dehydration after giving a speech so lengthy and passionate that I collapse in a heap of patriotic stupor, while the senate erupts in tremendous applause.

 

[O maestre]

died fighting in the inevitable machine uprising.... after scrapping hundreds of those frakking toasters, i would die, wounded with an active explosive device in my hand, as the machines swarm around my once fortified position. my only comforting thought will be of all the molten slag i would leave behind for humanity

and yes this battlefield will eventually become real...

as for an actual battlefield i would have to pick the last battle of the great emperor and general Genghis khan

 

[SQN Leader 095]

not only am i going to say how and where i would like to go but i will have a few events leading up to that point. i join the australian army as an infantry private to go and fight the war against the nazi forces in 1939 along side the british at the age of 15 faking my age to get in. after five years of fighting the americans join the fight in 1944 after the bombing of pearl harbor. we fight along side our country men fighting and dying as only comrades brought together by war can. we fight the nazis until the 7th of May 1945 then we are shipped over to the japanese controlled islands to assist the americans our fighting there was short lived and ended on the 15th of August 1945. after the fighting i find myself to be a sergeant i decide to stay in the army. 17 years later i find myself fighting in vietnam at the age of 38. im refered to as the Old dog by these young soldiers of D company 6RAR we fight in the war side by side until the 18 of August 1966. we were tasked with patrolling the area of Long Tan rubber tree plantation when we encountered a small group of vietcong who fled after losing one of their number. we continued patrolling until we encountered the main body of the Viet Cong 275 Regiment. The Viet Cong attacked vigorously with mortars, rifle and machine gun fire. In pouring rain, we returned fire with platoon weapons and artillery which was firing from the Nui Dat base, some five kilometres to the west. Close air support was also called for but couldn't be used because the target was unable to be identified accurately in the conditions. I died sometime during the night along with 16 other brave D company 6RAR boys. we were found the next morning after the battle. still in our firing positions facing towards the enemy. the Viet Cong force, estimated at 2,500, had been badly mauled. 245 Viet Cong bodies were found in the battle area.

i do believe a the interior of big Ben after fighting my way to the top in a tuxedo will do my last moments justice

Space, there is no place to die like space.

Jactinto. The captain always goes down with the ship. (or in this case,the city.)

But...the Captain didn't go down with the city....


Although on this note.
1) E-Day, doing my best to help the civilians escape.
2) On board the Gantrithor during the Battle for Auir
3) During the One Year War as my Mobile Suit burns up on atmospheric reentry.

Considering over 90% of the population were non-voting helots, that doesn't sound very democratic to me. Democracy is defined as "a form of government in which all people have an equal say in the decisions that affect their lives". Why on Earth would you support, let alone choose to die for such a regime?

Hmm, i guess your reading comprehension skills are not up to snuff. Sparta WAS NOT the only City State to participate in the Battle. ALL OF GREECE was there in one way or another. Greece is much like the US today, but without a "Federal Government". All the City States was a democracy, whether you want to think Sparta was or wasnt, doesnt matter, they are attributed with being a Democracy.

But again, you miss the point entirely, Sparta was not the only ones to fight at the Battle. I would gladly die as part of the Athenian Fleet that was keeping the Perisian Fleet at Bay. Or even die as a Theban. Just as long as i fight at the battle where the IDEALS of Democracy as a whole took a stand.

Just because I don't like most of the politics of the States of Texas, doesnt mean they are still not part of the US, or still considered a Democracy. You can say because a nation had slavery doesnt make it a Democracy, but that doesnt change the fact that it still is a democracy.

I'd die at the battle of Stamford bridge, fighting in utter futility against the relentless British army.

Let's face it, vikings rock!

 

[YoBadMama]

It doesn't matter where I die, but it's 40 000 years in the future, and I'm dying in service to The Emperor.

Indeed battle brother, your name will go down in the book of salvation.

One of the main principles of democracy is that everyone is equal before the law. That principle isn't compatible with slavery where some people belong to others, therefore that country may not be considered a democracy. Nothing to do with my personal feelings, that's the way it works.

Also, your stand in the long run wouldn't help anything as *SPOILER* a few hundred years after the Persians are repelled, the Roman's conquer Greece and not long after that, they become a non-democratic Empire. Oops, bye bye democracy for 1500+ years.

Maybe I died in battle for the Emperor,
but I will fight again at the battle at the end of time

The battlefield where Mogworld's protagonist dies... and gets reanimated
