    I think it's the cool-factor we're dealing with here. Lots of people want to be like those stealthy, telecenetic/psychic, dark and superior units. Hence why so many people voted DT or Ghost.

    The votes mainly focus on the stealthy and combat units, while 1) there are other stealthy units ("Oh I would enjoy soo much to be an observer!!1"), and 2) there are, in my opinion, cooler units, like the tier3 flying ones for the people who want to impress (battle cruisers and carriers mainly), all the casters (queen, templar etc), and the workers somehow (they can build a whole base if they can find some resources).

    So why these ones? Just curious...

    Well, BCs and Carriers are powerful but there are actually a lot of people in there, so it's not that personal (you'd have to imagine you're the commander/captain I guess), while a Ghost or a DT is more independent and powerful on its own.

    "The votes mainly focus on the stealthy and combat units"
    You said it. BCs are made for direct combat, Observers are made for stealth, but... If you want both then? Then there's only the Ghost and DT IMO.

    I find the Marine to be the best. even though they're all indespensible except raynor. they do have to funniest/coolest lines, they look like they can take any blow any weapon, yet they're very easy to kill.
    still Marines all the way!

    Personally I would to choose the civilian life of a Protoss. (not all Protoss are warriors you know, that is just the Templar caste) For many reasons mainly because they are united as a species and have wealths of knowledge and have an advanced civilization. They also have a long life-span in which you could get a greater experience out of life and more wisdom.

    As for an actual unit that is in the game currently, I'm not sure to be honest. Although I know for sure I don't want to be any kind of Zerg or a Viking because the lore states that the majority of viking pilots don't last very long at all. Not a marine or reaper because they are criminals. So i would probably say a Protoss High Templar Terran Ghost, or Protoss ship pilot.

    Ok lets discuss the 24hours with a civillian protoss

    12:00-06:00 - Wait on daylight
    06:00-07:00 - Protoss religous rituals
    07:00-08:00 - Sunbathing / Energy charging (daily meals)
    08:00-09:00 - Telepathic internet reading thoughts of others in your links
    09:00-11:00 - Pschic Concentration / meditation time
    11:00-12:00 - Go shopping for amazing gadgets and other protoss-techs
    01:00-02:00 - Online dating telepathy (everybody needs to be connected someway)
    02:00-04:00 - Hang out with friends play starcraft 2 with them, psi-blade fencing?
    04:00-06:00 - Freetime (do anything)
    06:00-08:00 - Listening to concerts of the darkside musicians of the protoss
    08:00:10:00 - Wath a ZVD movie with your protoss family
    10:00-12:00 - Make a new life with your protoss-mate - rest

    ahhhh... the life of a civillian, I wonder what will I do for the next 24 hours... or the next 2,000 years of my life??

    Yes, strict religious rituals and otherwise traditions with no chance of escaping the caste system for 1000+ years? No thanks. :p

    That's like saying you're not allowed to use mace on a mugger unless you're a cop.
