[QUOTE="Gurdjieff, post: 183393, member: 2264"] Now you're getting me confused. First, you state that Oerth can ONLY be rebuild by 12th level magic. That's fine, I'll just get 12th. But then, I remember the fact getting 12th is near impossible, as it takes thousands of years. Now, with this in mind, 1+1 = still 2 the last time I checked, 2 being the fact Oerth CANNOT be restored. The Emerald Order would have done EVERYTHING in their power to save Oerth. But there isn't. Not after what you stated. The only logic is that, by sacrificing themselves to restore Oerth, and the only way to restore Oerth is giving someone the ability to cast 12th, they do so. Now you can see this as an act of dispair. That's fine. I died with Oerth. You can see it as the last way out. Something like that last red button which opens the self-destruct mechanism. You don't want to use it, but when it is needed, you will. The people in the Emerald Order of course don't like to sacrifice their lives. They'd only do it if they believed they did the right thing. In this case, it was the ONLY thing to do, the ONLY logical way Oerth could possibly be restored. And now you are saying this is an act of dispair and it will not work. So be it. Now I am asking you, Edena, WHAT would have been the other possibility? How could Oerth have been restored without the Taraakians (they'd kill me, so I'd be dead anyway). I have looked for other ways, yes I have. Believe me. But I can read dutch, as I am dutch. I know what Skot is saying. I know what he and The Forsaken One are up to, well, mostly. Actually, I think it is pretty clear. But I will not spoil it for them, I will not post it here. That is for them to do. Just let me remind you again of that little red button waiting to be pushed. Also, I am not blaming you for what the players did. I am not blaming anyone. But all I am saying is that Evil DID get some giant bonusses, something Good received as well. The difference is, good needs to Heal, Cure and Protect. That is so much harder than just a simple Destroy all and don't care anymore reaction. That's the difference between roleplay (some have done that very well, and I have enjoyed reading it) as well as some have roleplayed very bad (more towards power-play). Edena, I really don't see your point in keep on fighting. Explain please. [/QUOTE]
