What alliance did you choose and why?

AMZxArchMage
I chose the Aldemeri Dominion because the elves are just so rude, smart, and most of the time right. The covenant seems like the creators did the dominion and pact first and they got the leftovers. The pact seems like a cliche with all of them hating each other but they are together for the sake of Tamriel but the story is amazing. What are your thoughts.

    DC since i heard it was the least popular faction and i figured being the underdog in pvp would mean more people to kill

    I play them all.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    I picked EP for the reason most people picked EP. The skyrim/morrowind zones where playable quest areas and I wanted to see how they looked in comparison to those games. Little did I know I would enjoy PvP a whole lot, and grow to despise my zerging faction. Only to end up rolling DC, specifically because they're the underdog in almost every campaign now.

    I chose AD because my girlfriend wanted to be on the side with Ayrenne, strong female leader and all that.
    True story, wish I was kidding. I would have been EP if I got the game without her.

    AD because... Elves.

    Also, DC tried to genocide their beast neighbors. EP enslaved their beast neighbors. And AD saved their beast neighbors (twice). We're such the good guys we spend most of our quest time hunting and killing the few racists left in our alliance.

    Chose AD at launch a year ago due to wanting to see what Auridon looked like in game. Quickly found out, due to Auriel's Bow, that AD was the Zerg and needy buff campaign faction and switched to EP. Got my 10 to 15 player pvp experience that I wanted on Haderus and never looked back.

    Still to this day AD zergs every campaign, gate camps every chance they get, so very happy with my switch to EP.

    ps.

    Everyone zergs and gate camps given the opportunity. If you think that only X faction gate camps and zergs while other factions are full of model players and saints, you are either:
    A ) zerging and gate camping yourself not admitting it, this being hypocrite
    B ) you are blind and do not see whats going around you at all

    Back pre-launch i was a member of a very large Guild called the Crimson Order. We all decided officers included to roll EP>
    since numbers faded from us as the game state changed, BUt we used to roll on Skull Crusher vs the hordes of AD.

    I cannot think of the guild at that time that yellow had but they were massive i think it was. The noire.
    something along those lines. In times of bat swarm and impulse sorcs and dk's & ground oils.

    But since we have moved and i have a DC toon now to help fight the imbalance issues with Vehemence.
    Crimson Order is still around if anyone wants to hit them up they are a great group of guys.

    Ep at heart though.
    I do the things! for the team, score points! win the day by *** the stuff! HELL yeah!

    AD initially beacause I thought an altmer sorcerer would be like an altmer spell caster from skyrim. Still AD because most of the people I know are play there.
    Me: It's[WB spamming DK] a really cheesy build

    DC because all the large MMO obsessed guilds called out for the AD pre ESO launch. Because all the rabid fans that were introduced to the Elder Scrolls universe through Skyrim were going to choose the EP. Because blue is naturally seen as a more noble color versus yellow and red which represent caution and danger respectively. Because after a good workout the veins popping in my arms are blueish.

    I chose EP because at the time EP was abandon by all of "elite" players, to my surprise during PC launch EP got busted and DC and AD exploited to get to V14. Then, EP fell behind the curb.

    Now, I just play EP because I like the crazy terrain and culture of EP.
