[QUOTE="Harlock, post: 187974, member: 4545"] I certainly have loved this thread and I hope the EternalKnihgt keeps us posted of the player reactions to freeing the evil humans. I'm not as close-minded as some of my posts suggest. I truly do see almost everyone's point in this. The twist that killing the hobgoblin children is actually good really made me think. Obviously there is no right or wrong answer in this debate. It's all relative to your campaign. I don't remember who thought SHARK should be a politician but I would like to provide my own cynical view on politics and where SHARK would fall in that. This is completely off topic so skip it if you wish. SHARK has been honest and he took a side on an issue that inspires great emotional debate. To me this spells political suicide. If a journalist asks a politician a simple close ended question on a hot button issue the politician usually first avoids directly answering the question by making a broad appeal statement. Then he takes the oppurtunity to give an example of how he supports the broad appeal issue. For example: Journalist: Politician X, are you for or against gun control? Politician X: I deplore violence of any kind. When I was a representative of State Y I co-wrote a bill that increased spending for after school programs designed to keep gang members off the street and channel their energies into Meals for the Elderly and Christmas in April. End example. So, SHARK, I do not see much political future for you if you continue to be honest and decisive but your debate and argumentative skills are not in doubt. Lawyer may be a good career for you, though. SO, I conclude, Evil? Good? depends on your campaign. Enjoy the slaughter, or may your sword never seek blood again. [/QUOTE]
