Just a fun little topic to see what you all think.
Basically, which species do you think has the biggest ballz on the field?
Of course, I'm going to have to say Terran for me personally. At least Zealots know they'll kick a lot of ass before dying.
Although, it probably takes some ballz having to either sit in the shuttle with the reaver, or run through a mine field lol.
And list your reason for your choice as well.
Zerg are a hive mind so they probably wouldn't ever get scared or think about individual self preservation.
Protoss have that teleporting technology, so rather than a zealot dieing, it'll just teleport away, I'd assume they'd use that in more than just zealots so they're out of the question.
Terran are the only ones that actually have anything to worry about.
Zerg dont count because really it only depends on Kerrigan and she dosnt have balls.
As for protoss... im sure then males have ball like figures and look at humans mengsk betrays everyone, they are all cowards. Plus protoss had cool cut scenes.
PROTOSS HAVE THE BIGGEST BALLS!
No doubt that the Protoss are the most brave in the battlefield. Terrans use resoc people, and the Zerg are all automats, so that doesn't quite qualify.
Just because you've been resocialized doesn't mean you suddenly don't have the emotion to fear for your life.
Unless you've been through hands on neural resocialization. And the Dominion doesn't use resoc as much as the Confederates did.
I'm gonna go with Protoss. The Zerg are Hive minded. Though some of the breeds may have higher reasoning abilities, they think nothing of themselves when being sacrificed for the glory of the Swarm. (I think Kerrigan may improve upon individual awareness in the breeds. That way, if/when another psi disruptor comes along, they won't be as disadvantaged as they were in the past, so they may actually acquire more in the way of gonads...)
terrans = droves of conscripts/criminals
I'm going to go with the toss here, but the Terran are a close second, I feel like the zerg units don't even have a "choice" since there pretty much hive mind so they cant really have "Balls".
Manlots take the cake for me....mine drags.. and people like Fenix etc. OR fusing with another toss to become a Archon seems pretty ballsy IMO!
Terran have some brave people for sure, but most of them are prisoners pretty much forced to fight aren't they? Everyone else hides inside of there machines/starships.
It's true, they will still fear for their lives, but in Liberty's Crusade they make them look like freaks that automatically follow orders, and Stim-pack to overcome stressfull situations.Quote:

I'd say Protoss. They'll be willing to die for their people and for their homeworld. (Of course, now that there's only a few left after the Brood War, I don't know if they'll be so willing to die...)
The Zerg doesn't count at all. They're a non-sentient species that obey to a single hive mind and, of course, doesn't care about life or death.
The Terrans... well, you say how freightened they were when the Zerg and the Protoss made appearance on the Koprulu Sector. Of course, the ones that are neurally resocialited don't count, the only thing they can do is to follow orders (even if that mean a very painful death), but most of them (there are exceptions, though) can do nothing if they haven't a gun in their hands.
I would have to pick Terran as a race.
Units would be another story.
They are constantly loosing in cutscenes, worlds destroyed, armies desimated.
Yet they continue to fight.
On top of that they charge into the fray knowing they will die.
If people do believe that Terran is the weakest of the races.
I find it ballsy they continue to fight the Zerg and Protoss.
They use no tricks, no deception, just the field of battle and honor.
The Terrans always the loser in the fights, yet still fights.
Ballz right there son.:D
Novasquadron - you're right. But there is another side of that - that human governments (Confederacy, Dominion) and leaders (Mengsk, Raynor) what to fight with Protoss and Zerg, but when their servants (Marines and other soldiers) die on battlefield they are save on Command Centers. Thats not fair.
Many of Terran soldiers are crazy or after brainwashing so they don't think rationally, drugs makes good work - they (soldiers) don't feel fear, often even pain.
And that's is why i voted Protoss. Here everyone warrior is really brave, they don't worry about death (in past Protoss haven't teleportation technology) - they are like Samurais. Everyone Protoss will be fight with enemy even when he will be alone.
Zergs - as many people said before - we shouldn't count them cause they haven't their own will.
Just so you know, there's a huge different between a human leader who can lead, and a leader like Tassadar who's a templar that kicks ass, or Zeratul.Quote:
