All Hail Emperor Cole!
Wait - you say it's better for everyone to obey one person, and then you call it freedom?

If only to understand the h'dourves of injustice that must be eschewed politely and discreetly into the napkin of a silent night while ignorant masses look away to raise the wine glass of clean streets.
But where does the soda of accountability and the first course of transparent justice fit into the meal?

The soda of accountability is indecent at this table and would look tacky. Thusly, we sip it discretely behind doors and promise you that it is delicious.

But what it if it's drunk from a glass instead of a can?

I have to say, I enjoy the food references.

But we ARE thirsty! Thirsty for the solace of you realizing you are NOT better than us because you don't play villains.

Your milk is SOUR, baby


There is no such thing as an "innocent bystander"

The yoghurt of human kindness then?

It's still kindness - which Praetorians could do with having more of

As much as I hate to agree with a member of resistance, I agree. Thank you for ruining a good time Golden Girl by being a ****. I will be pledging my Loyalty on the sidelines. Have fun going back and forth with a 6 year old.

In times of need, my fellow Praetorians have but to ask and I will be at their side. I will gladly lend them a shoulder to lean on, a hand to help them up when they have fallen, an ear to listen, a sounding-board for their thoughts.

Are we infallible? Yes, for we are only human.
Do we strive to do better? Yes, for we are only human.

If you are are injured, I will do my best to help you.
If you raise your hand to me in friendship, I will welcome you into my home.
If you raise your hand to me in anger, threaten my family, my home, my city, my leader, my way of life...

...I will rain destruction upon you until there is not a single breath of life left in your broken body.

I'll be damned if I left a 6 year old keep me from supporting the Loyalists, and since "No it's not!" and "Because I said so!" is not even a valid argument, I pretty much ignore it.

Depending on the skill of the writers making GR, it's going to be interesting to see how the self-proclaimed "straight as an arrow" handle the moral dilemma.

Some members of the resistance have been captured, after some missions trying to find their location, you're down to one 10-minute timed mission before executions commence, and you're sent to the last location where you could find something.

In there, you find out that the location your resistance contact sent you to is a military base where the 6-year-old son of one of the top brass was being kept safe, and the choices are to either kidnap him to force the rescue (knowing that there's going to be some damage to the kid whether they comply or not, you can't make empty threats and I'm sure the kid ain't going to be too thrilled about being kidnapped), or leave and let the executions begin. No time for other plans.

Go!

That's just a simple example for shock value. They've said repeatedly that not everything is nice and rosy in two colours in Praetoria, so I expect some delicious moral dilemmas.

Actually, freedom is in short supply in Tyrant's empire - that's sort of an improtant part of the GR storyline

You will accept what Emperor Cole calls Freedom. It is not a choice. Don't make him go all Justice on you, you Virtue-lovin' upstart.

Good and Bad are just points of view, just beacuse you wear sunglasses, blocking out the light of Cole, dosent mean everyone else is wrong.

I believe in the Cole Constitution of Command, section 6, paragraph 9, addendum 2, it says:

A citizen of Praetoria may not wear sunglasses at night. You will not keep hidden your track of vision, and bask in the radiance that is the gaze of Emperor Cole.

Addendum 3 also references Marauder's Law, which states he is exempt for the reason he states: "so I can, so I can."

I don't wear sunglasses

But I like the way you're cranking up the fanaticism now - Tyrant is now a "light" - it's getting more and more like a cult

Hes the light at the end of the tunnel. :P
But seriously he gets the job done, in the most efficient way possible.

And he's not some office Patton, either. His boots are on the ground, empowering the loyal citizens of Praetoria with his presence.

Unlike The Statesmen, who whines about moral obligations. And allows his enemies reprieve. (Although, this is actually a weakness, as demonstrated by Superman/Ultraman in Infinite Crisis. >.>)
