#33620, "See, I STRONGLY disagree with this.."


          

What makes someone "good", in the first place?

In the world of CF, doing nothing, just "existing" does not make you good. If you spend your life on a farm, taking care of your family and not getting involved in any other interests you're most likely "neutral" (hence all the neutral farmer mobs out there).

Obviously, everyone is "innocent" until they are "guilty" of something. Correct? So what is that farmer guilty of? He's guilty of "doing nothing". The fact that he "does nothing" would make him a "bystander", wouldn't it?

So it seems, logically, that that farmer is an "innocent" "bystander". Meaning he shouldn't be killed.

Again, I think you can find RP justifications for killing the majority of neutral mobs. HOWEVER, any truly good character NEEDS those justifications. "I want his gold" is NOT justification for killing someone for a good character. Killing for the sake of gold alone is NOT a good act.


Now, you're an Imm, so it's your prerogative if you want to turn the other cheek to that sort of behavior. But the danger of your Imm tag is that newer players reading this thread will think your viewpoint represents the entire Immstaff. History tells us that your viewpoint is NOT shared universally, with the playerbase or your fellow Imms.
