Goodbye. Not to the game, but the players. Goodbye. Everyone, remember to have fun. That's all I can say.

So why are you worshipping Tyrant? |

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.

Indeed, I like Kings and Emperors. Not to mention this weird Imperial Cult thing Cole has going on. |

The character I did it with was. Hell, that mission made me feel so bad, it scared him straight! |

I find insane mass-murdering god-emperors with messiah compexes a very dark shade of gray - the kind of gray that's so dark it's black |

He's no Tyrant. He's an absoulute ruler sure, but that doesn't make him evil. |

You might like him, but then that mean you're not a hero |

She's probably talking about the location badges in the underground, there's no moral equivalency in those discoveries.

You mean where the police execute prisoners underground? What do you expect them to do? Execute them ABOVE ground in front of everyone? |

There's other things. A Power path character could believe themselves a hero, but they aren't. At best they are a loyal companion and officer, a glory hound, a warrior for the cause (of tyranny).|

Great rogue path, but like Han Solo, you got to make a choice to save the Wookie at some point.

The "Secret Prisoner" badge text:
"You have found one of the most forbidden of places in Paretoria: the secret interrogation chamber beneath the PPD Precinct where the officers take the most recalcitrant prisoners for enhanced interrogations."
Plus, a few more badges with details of Tyrant's wacky antics:
Dissappeared:
" This is where enemies of the State vanish forever. These lost souls have been brought here from the PPD Headquarters for summary execution without review or recourse."
Seer:
"Blind yet seeing and casting judgment yet mindless of the crime; the Seer is the instrument of control and the constant threat of the Emperor's displeasure."
Condemning:
"It is no small thing to make the long perilous journey to the levels beneath the Behavioral Adjustment Facility. The route is filled with hostile PPD trained to shoot first and never ask questions. You have entered a realm that is the last many will see: Do you seek to free the condemned from their fate, or facilitate their demise?"
Silent Witness:
"You have seen much injustice and brutality in your journeys through Praetoria, and here beneath Precinct 4 in Imperial City you are witness to a chamber dedicated to both. Will you remain silent forever?"
Nailbiter:
"This PPD interrogation and holding area is littered with the signs of harsh treatment. Dried bodily fluids, ripped off fingernails, and a few human teeth mark this area as a place you don't want to wind up in."
Mercy Missionary:
"You have visited the Behavioral Adjustment Facility to extend a helping hand to the lost souls housed within. It took great courage to enter this forbidden area, braving the sonic fence and the hordes of belligerent guards on your mission of mercy."
Broken Mind:
"Deep beneath the Mother of Mercy Hospital, the moans of misbegotten Seers echo through these forgotten corridors. Their sorrow seeps into the minds of those who hear them, disrupting thought and disturbing the emotions. Tarry too long and your mind shall be broken as theirs."
And the text of the "Knows the Truth" badge, which is a nice little summary of the "utopia" you're in:
"From the depths of the Underground to the top of the Magisterium, Praetoria is built on lies. After 50 badges, you've learned this truth."

If you can't beat the rap, own it. Well done, sir!
My Responsibility Loyalist (who went Loyalist at every decision point, including the Warden arcs she ran undercover) was very disappointed with her interview with Cole, for what it's worth. To be called a traitor, after sacrificing personal friendships and emotional attachments for the greater good? Too cruel, sir. Too cruel.

Why MA ratings should be changed from stars to "like" or "dislike"
A better algorithm for ordering MA arcs
