Anarchism is a political ideology, not mustachioed villains carrying round bombs.
SO THERE!

Quote:Also, if the Syndicate are classed in the same way, as "enemy outsiders", then it would help give the Resistance a negative image to the citizens of Praetoria - if news reports and so on just refer to everything done against the citizens of Praetoria as activity by enemies of Tyrant's utopia, then the actions of the genuine criminals would come to be seen as linked to the actions of the genuine freedom fighters.Originally Posted by Marcian Tobay
That's... actually brilliant. I love it.
Loyalists, we're reclassifying Resistance members as "not citizens" of Praetoia, thus keeping our crime rate at 0%!
Some propaganda posters with slogans like "the enemies of Praetoria have many faces - be vigliant!" would help with the brainwashing
In fact, Tyrant might even secretly allow a certian level of activity by the Syndicate as an example of what life would be like if the Resistance overthrew him.
He could even have spies in the Syndicate, helping to direct their operations. -
Quote:I think that depends on how he classifies the Resistance - if they're not seen as citizens of Praetoria, then they could be classed as an outside force, so fighting them is more like fighting a war than fighting crime.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
As far as crime and justification in Tyrant's state. Regardless of their reasons for existing, Rebels exist, and their actions are criminal to Tyrant's state, ergo crime exists. Therefore, to claim he has eradicated crime is false on its face.
If only the obedient people are allowed to be called citizens of Praetoria, then the resistance wouldn't be a criminal product of that society in Tyrant's eyes. -

Here's a moral message for Tyrant and his thugs - it might help you rethink your poor life choices:

Quote:But isn't that what a gun for hire would do? If it pays well, isn't that all that matters? Like if helping maintain that order makes you rich and powerful, you should be happy to helpOriginally Posted by Dr_Mechano
You're a mercenary or hired thug at best or downright viscious and pure evil at worst. It's a large step to go from 'do whatever the hell you like, you can even beat up Lord Recluse and have his hat...' to 'you are helping someone maintain order through evil means'.

Then perhaps you could ask your bud how in the bluest of blue hells that last patch made it live.

I suggest you upgrade to Windows - you'll have fewer compatibility problems
Also, why hasn't Mid's added animated hair yet? -
Quote:Is that on a scale of worst to least worst?Originally Posted by Marcian Tobay
Let's hit "Refresh".
Everyone take deep breaths, say "All Hail Emporer Cole" and begin drafting plans to destroy the Resistance. These plans can include Rick Rolls, LoLCats, and Mass genocide. -
Well, they do have rights, so I think it's probably better to drop this direction the thread has moved in

A forum patch? Will there be new zones and powers?

Quote:My suggestion to act more morally should be treated the same way as your insistance that experimenting on humans was okOriginally Posted by Muad_Dib
Morals? You're trying to tell us to make our fictional characters behave morally? Have you lost your goddamned mind? If every person in the game acted morally, there would be no reason for the Devs to even come up with a Loyalist and Resistance to Emperor Cole (or Tyrant as some call him). You know what? We get it. You and your superiority complex believes that Cole and his followers stand for everything wrong with the planet so you've joined the Resistance. Why don't you go bother them about your pathetic morals? Do you really believe for one minute that what the Resistance does to overthrow Emperor Cole will be any more or less moral than us Loyalists will do.
In this fight, the people who give in to such trivial things as morals will be the first to lose. Loyalists refuse to lose. Resistance refuses to lose. Anarchists, well they want their own thing, but I'm sure they refuse to lose as well. Who has the morals now?
You're words in this thread are the equivalent of a child going "no it's not!"

Quote:Then you'll be murdered and replaced, and so on, until the ultimate traffic-flow-expert-ruthless-assaaain rises up to claim the spot.Originally Posted by Schismatrix
The two approaches are also somewhat contradictory as being good at sabotaging, murdering and betraying your way to the top when employed in the transit department doesn't necessarily mean you'll be at all competent at managing traffic flow once you become the general manager.
If you're not good enough at your job to satisfy those above you, you'll be replaced from above - if you're not skillful enough to keep those below you away, then you'll be replaced from below.
Eventually, someone who meets both requirements will be found, while the process removes those who can only meet one of the requirements.
It's like a job interview and hiring process in RL - only more interactive - instead of just speaking to the people and working out which one has the best qualifications for the job, Tyrant lets them prove they have them - it must save a lot on paperwork. -

The stuff a 6 year old does with crayons and cardboard is, technically, art. It's just not likely to sell for $1,000,000 in an art gallery.

I've ridden my own horse in the past few days - and he has nothing to do with Tyrant, as I'm sure Tyrant isn't a horsey person - which is further proof of his evil
