[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 459165, member: 2020"] [b]A sad conclusion[/b] I collected the results (above) concerning how good aligned societies and people would react to kender. Despite a few darkly humorous posts, and one or two favorable to kender, I draw some dark conclusions from the posts above: I believe that, given a Setting with kender in it: There will be immediate hostility between kender and all the other races and nations. This hostility will escalate rapidly into war. The war will escalate into genocide. This will happen even if ALL the other races and nations in the Setting are of good alignment only. If the non-kender win, the kender will become extinct (except for a few survivors kept in confinement.) If the kender win, they will be forevermore Afflicted Kender, and they will rule over their defeated foes with ruthlessness and hatred. Such a genocidal conflict, is certain. It is a matter of when, not if ... and the when will be sooner and not later. Such are my conclusions from the posts above. Private property, must be among the most contentious of all issues. For it is the concept of private property, that will see the Setting demolished as kender and non-kender attempt to utterly destroy each other. The concept of private property, will see the Setting reduced to ashes and ruins. [/QUOTE]
