Corollary to Unwritten CF Rule #23857: If you are visible on Eastern, you are already dead. You just don't know it yet. The only thing keeping your gear on you is that you are likely wearing crap.

As for the "bastard goodies" mentioned above, I've been playing evil/neutral for about 2 years. Finally rolled up a goodie and apparently did it at the same time as everyone else. Now I feel some of the evil's pain, but I'll be damned if I'm throwing away my character (note: singular) because they feel like underdogs. There's too much time/practice/ranking anoyance to go through to make someone else feel better. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way. So, as some of the older goodies kick off I'm sure you'll get you evil pendulum swing. In the meantime, be patient. It'll come.
