Quote:Well, there's a little more to it than just "Statesman says so"Originally Posted by craggy
if GG's done Statesman's TF she's already guilty of attempting to destabilise the government of a sovereign nation with no cause other than the benevolent dictator of Paragon City said so.
As in Recluse presenting a clear and imminent worldwide threat - so the forces of law and order are entitled to remove that threat at once. -

And me making my first toon on Villains as ultimate evil character a woman...
Nothing is more deadlier then a woman!

Quote:Actually, I just said I don't find evil appealing in RL or in a game, so I don't play CoV.Originally Posted by M_I_Abrahms
I may have said I'm not jumping into the Resistance with some of my characters, but that doesn't mean I'm avoiding it with all of them. I will still experience both sides of the story, just on different characters. Meanwhile, Golden Girl has said repeatedly that she will never play CoV because she's "better than that."

Quote:That lack of desire comes from fear - your fear is in your mind, not your genesOriginally Posted by Caemgen
Humans share DNA, sure... But there are differences, no? Or how is it used to free innocent convicts? How did they find a connection between stuttering and genes? So if a stutterer can now blame their DNA then I can blame mine for my lack of desire to be social and my agoraphobia...

Quote:A game is for fun and entertainment - and I don't get any fun or entertainment by doing evil things in a game, so I don't play them if they don't suit me.Originally Posted by Slashman
Derailed or not, it irks me no end to see a comparative discussion of 'morality' in a game's PVE content.
The only valid reason for not playing one side or the other is if you want to miss the content that is offered. And if that is so, it should be due to that content not being well designed or frustrating to play for reasons of mechanics, bad writing or poorly designed enemy groups.
Purposely missing an entire chunk of well-written(I dearly hope) and fresh content because you think you are taking some kind of moral high ground in a world made entirely of the contents of your hard drive and the developers' servers is so ridiculous it really isn't all that funny. -

We should - with some sort of stable room for bases

And we're back to GG supporting dictatorship via Hanoverians

LOL, yeah you fight like 5-10 guys at once, take lots of damage, and you get attack about 95% of the time.

Quote:The social structure we're aiming for is a dictator-free set-upOriginally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
Absolute freedom is anarchy. You must sacrifice freedoms in order to have societal structure. How much and which freedoms you sacrifice depends on what structure you want and/or need.
They're still beautiful animals - and mine is gorgeousQuote:And the Hanoverian line of horses was founded by House Hanover in 1735. Hence the name.

Quote:I hear CO is much better at creating a feeling of horror - simply log in, and the nightmare beginsOriginally Posted by uberschveinen
I don't think you're going to find any convincing horror in MA. The game's format just isn't appropriate for horror.
-
Quote:A Hanoverian is a horse - a very beautiful kindOriginally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
Your connection to the House of Hanover undeniably proves that you support dynastic rule. Emperor Cole's meritocracy is little different from your own dynasty, so I don't know what your problem with him is
-
Quote:Freedom, not anarchyOriginally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
Wait, lemme get this straight. Because you think that Emperor Cole is morally destitute, you implicitly have the right to overturn his empire and bring anarchy to his world.
It is - but if they're being badly oppressed, they'll need a helping handQuote:Aren't you the one who keeps claiming it's the people's right to overturn their own illegitimate government?
And with no guns allowed, no private transport, and any superpowered people being forced to join Tyrant's thugs or be killed, the people of Praetoria would have a hard time fighting back without help - which is where Primal Earth would come in - helping the helpless is what heroes do
-
Quote:My horse is big, but no higher than normal for a HanoverianOriginally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
Actually, yes. But we can go back and forth on that all night, so I'll leave this particular tangent at "get off your high horse".
Then that's not really a rule thenQuote:That's... kinda the point.
-
Quote:No - if Tyrant was to ask what authority Primal Earth heroes had to try and remove him, that would be the honest answer he'd get - he's a moral failure, and is harming the people of his world, so he has to go.Originally Posted by Thirty-Seven
Yes, it kinda does. Saying you are better than someone, and more moral than them, even if true, kinda diminishes your point, doesn't it?
Well, anarchists are childish - I guess it rubs off on normal people sometimesQuote:Also, that is a juvenile interpretation of an anarachist. Anarchy has more to do with disrupting organized society... not disregarding all "rules" just because they are "rules."
-
Quote:Not really, noOriginally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
Asserting your moral authority strips away any moral authority you might have had.
Rule 1 - there are no rules?Quote:Moral does not mean "good". It means "follows a set of rules". What those rules are doesn't matter.
An anarchist seeks to overturn the rules of society. That doesn't preclude them from having their own set of rules.

Or he could be an Incarnate, similar to Trapdoor.

Quote:But it doesn't control you - that's why we're above animals - even horsesOriginally Posted by Teladi
Human nature is consider evil because we are animals deep down that still to this day feel the strongest is on top. Instead of strenght it became money or something else. Deep down no matter how nice or sweet someone is that animal like nature will always be apart of you.

Quote:None of those definitions of an anarchist allows for morality.Originally Posted by DMystic
Definition of Morality from Dictionary.com
1. conformity to the rules of right conduct; moral or virtuous conduct.
2. moral quality or character.
3. virtue in sexual matters; chastity.
4. a doctrine or system of morals.
5. moral instruction; a moral lesson, precept, discourse, or utterance.
Anarchist
1. a person who advocates or believes in anarchy or anarchism.
2. a person who seeks to overturn by violence all constituted forms and institutions of society and government, with no purpose of establishing any other system of order in the place of that destroyed.
3. a person who promotes disorder or excites revolt against any established rule, law, or custom.
These aren't mutually exclusive in all cases. -
Quote:Moral authority - supporting freedom gives you the moral authority to help freedom develop in other places.Originally Posted by Thirty-Seven
I have to ask, regarding this:
And what gives you the authority to decide the political system of an entire world??
Praetoria is a dictatorship, so it's morally inferior to primal Earth. -
Quote:If you're an anarchist, then you can't have any morality - causing chaos that harms other people is immoral.Originally Posted by Paradigm_Shift
Hence, there exists a form of anarchist who is, by default setting and by your own reasoning, a moral anarchist.
-
Quote:In other words - no fixed moral system.Originally Posted by Paradigm_Shift
Anarchists are never self-proclaimed. If they are, they aren't anarchists. TRUE anarchists never believe that they are creating chaos. If they do, then the believe they are doing so in order to promote a, in their view, needed change. If not that, they just don't care, and are entirely in it for themselves, and are up for ANY course of action, "good" and "Evil" entirely aside.

Here's what I posted about it in another thread:
Quote:I've been suggesting for quite a while that Pocket D becomes a sort of dimensional hub, but not ruled by any of the factions - DJ Zero would oversee the whole place, with his own enforcers to guard the place, and make sure it was kept neutral.
It'd still be a nightclub, but it'd also be a meeting place for dimensional travellers, like spies, refugees and mercenaries from accross the multiverse.
Put a new DJ on the middle platform, and move DJ Zero to some sort of office overlooking the dancefloor - rename him something like "Mister Zero" or "Master Zero", or just plain "Zero", and make him a permanent contact for all players, giving out repeatable missions themed around the idea of dimensional travel and his nightclub.
Add a WW and a BM, and move the AE building from the RWZ there instead - and change the entrance corridors from those standard warehouse ones to something more unique
-
Quote:There isn't - an anarchist can't have a fixed system of morality, otherwise it'd stop them creating chaos.Originally Posted by Paradigm_Shift
There is such thing.
-
I've made a few suggestions about this before - especially moving the AE from the RWZ to the D where it belongs
-
Quote:No such thingOriginally Posted by Gulver
I'm an Moral Anarchist.
