[QUOTE="Tal Rasha, post: 3753991, member: 46213"] I beg to differ. As already mentioned by others, I do not believe evil people are less likely to be loyal to their friends - if they have any. Sure, they are more likely to con and deceive people into thinking that they are their friends, [I]then[/I] stab them in the back. That's something else. A chaotic character on the other hand, granted CE and CN more than CG, could IMO just decide one day for some reason that he does not need to be loyal anymore, or that his friends are not actually his friends, or some such. Hence, the stabbing in the back thing. An interesting discussion in itself. Kahuna Burger, would you agree that the above decision would [B]only[/B] impact the character in question's persona, his morals, and the opinions of those around him? Because, as far as I see it, the end results are the same, and then you have to (again) go into the whole debate of whether torturing an evil character is itself evil. Interestingly enough, Squire James seems to contradict himself in the same paragraph. I mean no offense, I just think it is worth noting, for the discussion, that he said [I]"I'd be giving him more Good Strikes if I knew all the people he did this to deserved it. The other text implies this might be the case, but [B]the general gristliness of the deed cancels it out[/B]. No Strikes."[/I] right after he said [I]I fail to see the big distinction between one using limbs and using swords.[/I] [/QUOTE]
