#721, "You are bass akwards. In a big way."


          

People try to make RL morality and CF morality two differing things.

They are not.

Good and evil are pretty well defined. If you murder a child for personal gain. That' an Evil act.

If you murder Tarus for his bracers, that's an evil act. You can justify it all day long, but what you did is murder somebody for his possesions or for personal gain.

We can define these as evil simply by using a real world comparisson. It's not exclusive to CF. CF's notions of good and evil are rooted in RL.

Now for the Politics. An outlander can justify his reasons for doing it, because Tarus is a Dwarf, and feel completely at home with his reasoning. He may sleep well at night and go on to have fat babies.
That doesn't change the moral Implications of it.

Moral reletivism is a bunch of bunk.

CF skews the fact that in real life most people will not commit heinous crimes such as these. But we as CF players know right from wrong based on our real life assumptions and experiences.

I can give the Josiah defense all day, but the fact remains that Right and wrong are pretty well defined. So well in fact I as a good player will not forgive a Neutral for ranking in Balator.

People get confused with the concept of Neutral. For me it's simply. I have an ideology. I do not swing one way or th other as it benifits me, but I adhere to a mind set. I will fight dwarven guards as readily as Duergar guards, should it fit my cause. I will not murder children, but I may well not get involved with defending someone elses either.

There is no gray to it at all. We all are going to piss on each others boots once in a while, but justification is really nothing more th an RP angle. It doesn't change what's right from wrong.
