Not that I (a) agree with killing random bystanders, or (b) *like* agreeing with Arolin. But.

Isn't being a third extreme kind of what Nexus (back in the day) was about? Not necessarily being extreme, but being a strong balancing force. "Today, there seems to be a prevalance of bad bad people around. Let's even the score." is viable enough for a neutral character with a *decent* rp background. As long as there's an active judgement to it, and a positively built role around it, along with a highly tuned sphere choice. Even killing at random is viable for a *developed* CN character. _Someone_ disabuse me of this notion if I'm wrong, _please_; because I can think of role/sphere/rp choices playable in this fashion - though probably only by "elite" rp'ers (and people who can pk, so yes that rules me out. )

Now, if it's just some jerk pkilling because he can, it's a different story. And I would agree with you wholeheartedly.

- Tharena -> I can't believe I'm possibly defending Arolin
