#2980, "I find this very interesting."


          

I find that your arguments, and your choices of words (and nepenthe's as well) bring up in me some interesting thoughts.

They are quite complicated, probably more so than I have the skill to put into written words...but I will try.


If we look at just the CHARACTER, in the CF universe, your choice of words such as "Single worst" and "pathetic" seem to put an artificial "value judgement" on the virtues of Bravery and daring.

Both of which, it can be argued...are rarely associated with true "evil".

Which brings up the argument....for an AP, isn't that supposed to be the point? to do whatever is best "FOR YOU" and to hell with any of the hoity-toities who call your actions "worst" or "pathetic".

Aren't they supposed to be "bullies"? And aren't "Bullies" supposed to go after those who are very obviously "weak", and shy away from challenges such as taking on the powerful?


I understand, an evil bastard that is ALSO brave and daring is a neet thing...but it seems to me that it should be rare...and not the standard by which all other evils are measured.

It just seems to me, that (especially with you being an Evil bastard of an imm) the dark forces would more support and uphold and give benefits to those who are closer to the stereotype of "Bully"...as that is the kind of person who weeds out the week ...etc.

But, with you and nepenthe and other imms posting such opinions on the "character" on this board....I'm afraid that I am seeing evidence that You (collectively) as "PLAYERS" of imms are making judgements as to the "OOC" motivations of the "PLAYER" and labling them "cowardice" or "pathetic"...and then taking those judgements over and letting that effect how your "CHARACTERS", your God characters, see and judge the "IC" motivations of the "CHARACTER".


Just some thoughts.
