Havelock Vetinari Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I always prefer to err on the side of caution, but you have greater experience in this matter. I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are the good people and the bad people. You are wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caution is wise, and advisable, but I do not think we need fear yet.

Axilus Prime Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 He set half the place on fire, on average. (By people's interpretation of "he shot fire at everyone and wooden areas of the Koro")That's why. And Basilisk, if you read my post, I doubt that matters. Plus it brought out some real character. Honesty in Death, as someone's sig once said. Now I understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLuke Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Usually, you don't go torturing prisoners "just 'cause". They're aren't trying to get information out of him or anything, somebody just decided that randomly sticking knifes into him would be a good idea.Jeez.

BenLuke Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I reiterate,no one tortures a prisoner without any sort of reason to do so, apart from serial killers, maybe. Your characters have no stated, either external or internal, reason to decide to do it, at all. That's not moral ambiguity, that's stupidity! And worse, shoddy writing. Making character "grim 'n gritty" doesn't make up for bad characterization. Really, I'd be annoyed mode if a (non-completely-psychopathic,) villain decided to start torturing people for no reason other then "Way not?", and your Autobots Aukati are supposed to be(Anti-) Heroes. Wikipedia defines an antihero as "a protagonist whose character is contrary to that of the archetypal hero, yet typically retains many heroic qualities" and I'm not sure your characters really fit into this definition, as the only heroic thing I can remembered any of them doing besides besides end that meaningless conflict between then and the Xanthium, and helping the hive attack. :shruggs: *Takes a deep breath, calms down, and tries to take the whole thing a gorran bit less seriously.* BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axilus Prime Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 They have a long, long history with Nemesis. Thousands of years at war with him and many others. It's just that Optimus never thought of it due to the fact that he just recently whooped Nemesis during a failed assassination attempt by Nemesis.

Axilus Prime Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 And yeah his story was before the Great Cataclysm. He recovered partially from amnesia. A few dozen snippets of memories. Just of war. He can't use any of that knowledge. No details of the outside, no paths, no idea how to get to locations. He doesn't have any idea he's out of the MU, or what the MU is. He believes if he sailed, he might happen upon Keretao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making character "grim 'n gritty" doesn't make up for bad characterization.I agree. I did not expect the scene to take this turn in my absence. As stated, Madrihk (Evil as he is) is not big on torture when it comes to pre-murder, just efficiency. So anyways, TNG has given us permission, so we can just kill him now. Enough mindless torture, enough TF-based backstory. Kill him and incinerate the remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nothing against B6, he was completely correct, your posts were unsuitable for a younger audience, but I don't think you need to leave. Relax, I think they mean they're busy and can't post for a few days, not leaving the game completely.As for admin intervention: Six once came into another RPG because our characters were singing IC, which OOC meant we were just quoting lyrics from known songs. So I can understand the intervention here.So, now that we've all had a short reminder of where the lines are drawn, let's get back to the normal order of business and play the game. Nothing holds up things more than discussions like this if they're going on too long.That just leads to more interventions and one should be enough.

25K Now! Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Sorry guys. I got kidnapped by Zakus who made me part of the Axis asteroid which Char Aznable tried to drop on Earth, except he failed and the Londo Bell managed to cut it in half, with the front part falling towards Earth only to be stopped by the combined might of Assorted Mooks and Amuro 'The White Devil' Ray.I was in the back part.
