As one GM to another, there's a very important tip, and that's to be flexible, take feedback.

No matter how awsome your plot may be to you, players do not want to be railroaded and will want to do thier own things.

Being as inflexible as you are right now when presented with some problems that might affect the number of people watching who want to join in isn't exactly a good sign.

I mean to even get away with this High Level Corruption you're dead set on you'd need to be massivley subtle, suddenly making every child a legal walking experiment... is not so subtle.

Wait what? You start a discussion thread, ask for our opinions, we provide our opinions and then you just brush them all aside?

While true we never got word on the scale here, I think that if any polition in Paragon said "I plan to introduce a new bill that will let us perform experiments on kids" is going to come under independant investigation from so many supers at once when teh bill is even in the planning stages, not to mention mass protests and law inforcments own going "Hang on a minitue that's not right".

That's a little... extreme don't you think?

I mean a sweeping change to an entire nations laws to do somthing like that...

Wouldn't it work better for the corrupt governemnt officlas in question to be merly covering up a shadey medical companies (Possibley Crey, it sounds thier thing) experiments on children?

And if the law said kill someone?

You really can't see how that makes him fit the definition offered in this thread?

Supes will follow his own moral code over and above the law, his moral code comes first and he makes Life or Death decisions with it.

He does not kill no, but Death makes up only half of "Life and Death" after all :P

While Shad is right about certian things in my assesment, just Good and Evil really is a massivley complicated system.

So complciated infact that in an attempt to make life easier for eeryone we have to invent more classifications for things to even begin to make sense.

As if you'll recall back before GR when we had two alignments, Villian (Evil) covered everything from people out only for profit, to people trying to make teh world confrom to what they thought was best by force to spycopathic killers.

And that's just 'evil', the more general the label gets the more complicated it becomes to define exactly what it means and if a charater falls under it or not.

Wait what?

1=A
2=B
3=C
4=D
5=E
6=F
7=G
8=H
9=I

Is more complex then

1= A or B and C
2= D or I or H
3= I and E or G
4= F or H or B

?

Because when the 4 are far more vauge and open to intepritation and alternate takes then the 9.

Wow, bravo Wolfram, bravo, very eloquently put.

And of course there are teh issues of super pwoered beings/events taking place while the box was unquestionabley closed too :P

So it's not like the box sealed away all hero stuff, just limied it!

I'll just point out, do we really really really want PC Pretors? I mean think about it for a moment, Preator is a hard title to earn, heck there's evidence that there's a limited number of them!

Just look at what happened to Anti-Matter!

To be fair Pious and/or Pistol do seem to keep missing my posts pointing out Techs Arachnos Attack plot was a wide scale thing done well.

Using the Rikti again wouldn't work in my opinion, not until we have some more news from the Devs on how that fronts progressing.

I'll second or third of whatever just letting the Devs and our own preatorian stories develop for now, a new event should grow out of that.

After all, a tad greedy to want another wide scale plot when Open Season is still ongoing :P
