Nato G Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Someday, Nato is going to be the Ruler of a region in one of these days, and when he is... hoo boy,everyone better be ready But where's the fun in that? If you're the Ruler, you're stuck in your fortress or citadel or whatever, with a big target on your back, and everyone (possibly including some of your own people) plotting against you. I very much prefer a role that leaves me free to travel and scheme. Besides, if I were a Ruler, I'd probably just wind up becoming a paranoid isolationist and doing more or less the same stuff Burnmad is now... and I think the game would be pretty boring for everyone with two tribes playing it safe.

Being ruler is not that bad.It has its fun moments and most of the time the ruler can change the whole course of the game if they do pleased. So long as you don't do anything stupid it's a fun role to play.(now that I'm thinking about it. Not acting stupid could apply to all roles actually.)

Voxumo Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I've got to agree with Nato... playing a role that allows one some freedom to move around is nice. I had more fun playing Vinheim than I ever did as Mask Maker. Reminds himself he still needs to make that Vinheim moc. 1 Quote Banner made by Onaku BZPRPG CHARACTERS Syvra-Tivanu If you interact with one of my characters and I don't respond or acknowledge the interaction within a day, send me a PM.

Pahrak Model ZX Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 You keep saying “Skrall = Bad”, but Roxtus has not done anything despicable within the game. Our diplomats have visited other villages and offered alliances, we’ve issued a gladiatorial challenge—these are things any village on Bara Magna does and is expected to do. You’re asking people to believe that a village that has yet to anything out of the ordinary is “the bad guy” simply based on your word alone. And in doing so, you directly prompted your villagers to start killing each other. “Underdog good guy with extremely flexible morals”? You’re so deluded it’s laughable. You’ve clearly got a very black and white, “I’m good because I’m good and they’re bad because they’re bad” mentality with little justification as to why, and seem to expect the rest of the planet to bend to that view simply because you tell them to. But, yes. The Skrall are the lunatics. Okay. 2 Quote My Library Right of Law (Epics) KARDAS DRAGON appears! (G&T) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nato G Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I wasted hours of my life engaging in very similar arguments with Voxumo, Toru, and Timelord in the previous season of BZPGOT, so I'm going to save myself some time and energy and not bother going for round two. You've said your piece, I've said mine. I'm on my way to Roxtus to see your boss as we speak, and I have no doubt that the issue will settle itself IC in due course. If that resolution culminates in Tuma stepping on my neck in the Arena Magna, so be it.

Burnmad Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Devil's Advocate: A) The existence of a race (such as the Skrall) which is so vastly physically superior to another (the Agori) as to threaten that other race's enslavement or extermination makes their (the stronger race's) own extermination an acceptable course of action for the latter race regardless of the deeds of the former race, and B) their far inferior numbers make it not only advisable, but the only logical course of action, by way of Sun Tzu: "If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight." - Quote Avatar by Brickeens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
