#45726, "First of all I strayed when I agreed with your genocide issue. I don’t think Maran would be down with that."


          

What is the difference between Maran wiping out the Goblin Village (to include children) and Nexun wiping out Darsylon? Both are genocide. Genocide is evil isn't it?

Not if the gene pool you are wiping out are Aliens that lay eggs in your stomach to propagate. The orcs, goblins, and Ogres are around so we can have guilt free racism and zealotry, which is at the heart of the game. The goblinoids have a Red Aura because it is in their very nature to take the most selfish and self serving road possible. Want what your brother has? Kill him. Want what your cousin has? Rape her.. wait that’s Arkansas.. Anyway that’s that. They are born evil.

Conversely I see the Red Aura-ed sinners such as the hookers in Voralian as trapped into an evil life and thus tainted by it, but slaughtering them for personal renown would be cruel and wicked in its own right.

I think a Paladin raiding the Goblin village and killing pan wielding goblin mothers is a pretty sad assed Paladin by virtue of the example he set. Killing off their military class would be fine.


2. If not, why is Nexun genocide worse than Maran genocide in regards to alignment?

Nexuns are just plain evil. You are never going to convince me otherwise. There is no other rational way to describe them. And again, No to Maran genocide.

3. What sets the blood thirsty Maran apart from the Nexuns?

A maran should consider his actions. He may have killed Madam Suzzie Rotten Crotch and her girls with the red auras and the (Herpes) flags, but is that really an epic canticle that represents Maran values? Or does throwing himself at the Orc Chief and his horde?

4. Why is the Fortress "good aligned" when all they want to do is murder and/or kill, but the Nexus is "evil aligned (according to you)" for wanting to save Thera from destruction via the balance being broken?

Killing isn’t in and of its self evil. There are many good reasons to kill. Killing a Nexun would be one example. Killing a home invader another.

5. Why can't people look at things from various angles instead of one very strict angle?

I do, but Nexun is so obviously should be an enemy of Fort, Spire, Empire, Outlander that it’s crazy to have to even argue about it.

Must it be: Fortress kill all Nexuns because they are always evil.

Yes.

or

Fortress can kill Nexuns situationally, but never to the point they stray from their main goal?

Yes. “Situation equals this: Nexun Logs on.

or

some other strict definition of how my character HAS to act.

You can act however you want. If you want to ignore that cruelty that Nexun perpetuates to balance out your good, then that’s fine. But I would think that if your life means less to you than the life of some innocent soul somewhere, you would wack that Nexun, or take your own life so someone else doesn’t die in your place… to a Nexun.

Why can't it be: My character does what fits his personality/role and if it doesn't mesh well with the rules of Fortress, then I don't get to be part of Fortress. I could hate and hunt Nexuns, I could love Nexuns, I could be allies sometimes and enemies others with Nexus. My character's role and personality dictate it.

I’m not saying it can’t. I’m saying that eventually, if you want to do the right thing and kill Nexuns, you get canoewacked out of the cabal.
