A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Founded in 2010 by Phantom, Remains of the Republic has its roots in Star Wars Battlefront II (2005) for the PS2, becoming one of its most successful Europe-based clans.

In 2015-2016, we were active on the new Star Wars Battlefront (2015) game. Though just a group of friends playing for fun occasionally, we still managed to win the EU Cup in a tournament.

Every now and then we fire up our old PS2's to play SWBF2 again, all remaining players from the EU joining forces to play in friendly tournaments along with players from the United States, where there's a larger remaining user base.

These days, RoR mainly functions as a homebase where old and new players meet up to stay in touch and play Battlefront as well as other games.

Just another random poll to keep the forum active. Which soft drink do you prefer out of Coca-Cola and Pepsi. It can be any variation of the soft-drink, from Diet Coke to Pepsi Max to normal, red Coca-Cola.

A Brief History of the Rivalry:
Pepsi initiated the Pepsi Challenge in the 80s, in which tasters were put in a double-blind test to see which soft drink they liked better out of Coca-Cola and Pepsi. More people preferred the taste of Pepsi. It was one of the greatest marketing coups of all time. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Pepsi steadily gained on Coke in terms of market share. Characters in the ads always picked Pepsi, of course, but so did most people who tried it in real life—the sweeter taste was more appealing. By 1983, Pepsi was outselling Coke in supermarkets, leaving Coke dependent on its larger infrastructure of soda machines and fast food tie-ins to preserve its lead. That was a success in its own right. But even better, Pepsi forced Coke into an infamous business blunder. Faced with eroding market share, Coke began a series of its own internal taste tests aimed at developing a superior product. Thus was born the dread New Coke, a sweeter cola reformulated to best both Pepsi and the classic formulation of Coke in blind taste tests.


The backlash was fast and furious, with over 400,000 letters of complaint pouring in to the company. Despite declining market share, Coke was still by far the market leader over Pepsi—and the company’s millions of loyal customers weren’t looking for a new flavor. Pepsi recorded the fastest year-on-year sales growth in the company’s history during New Coke’s first month, while a consortium of Coca-Cola bottlers decided to sue the company for changing the product.
But then Coca-Cola’s senior leadership did something tough: They admitted that they were wrong. And they executed a strategic pivot that’s kept them on top of the rivalry ever since. They reintroduced the original formula under the name “Coca-Cola Classic” and sold it in parallel with New Coke for a while. Over time, the “new” Coke was phased out, and Coca-Cola Classic became just, well, Coke once again—a product so culturally iconic that across a significant swath of the United States it serves as a generic term for what decent people call “soda” and Midwesterners call “pop.”

For the past 25 years, Coke advertising has focused on the brand first and foremost. The soda is a shared experience that’s supposed to remind you of friendship, family, adorable bears, and other fuzzy associations. And it’s worked great. According to industry statistics compiled by Beverage Digest, Coke owns 17 percent of the American market for carbonated soft drinks. The next most popular choice is Diet Coke with 9.4 percent. Pepsi languishes in third place at 8.9 percent. Though it’s the flagship brand of a diverse beverage and snack company with over $65 billion in revenue, Pepsi is a definite loser in terms of popularity.

Personally, I think that Pepsi has a bit more of a taste, but for some reason I still prefer Coca-Cola. Pepsi is certainly more popular in Asia though.

PLS BIATCH COCA COLA
For each tank built in the world... 131k of Teddy bears are made
For each stock market that falls down... there are 10 versions of "What a wonderful world"
For each corrupt person... there are 8k donating blood
For each barrier that exists... there are 200k mats saying "Welcome"
While one scientific is making a new weapon... there are 100 million of mums making a chocolate cake
In the world, there's more monopoly money than dollards
There are more funny videos in the internet than bad news all over the world
LOVE has more results in google than FEAR
For each person that says "Everything is wrong..." 100 couples are looking for children
And for each weapon sold in the world... 20 million of people share a bottle of Coca-Cola
There are still reasons to believe in a better world.
