[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 413235, member: 812"] Well, yeah. This is what I've been trying to point out. It's impossible. Which is why I think REAL evil is a silly, silly thing. Actually, given the nature of life in the Abyss, I bet acting completely randomly is as good a survival strategy as any. Which is difficult even for Graz'zt to predict. Or unless he just bloody well feels like it. Because describe for me a situation in which Suzy WOULDN'T insist she enjoys a demon lord's protection? Whether it's true or not? Of course she's going to say, "Hey, those belong to Graz'zt, big boy." What other choice does she have? Bob's problem is that no matter what he does, he might end up getting his flaming red hinder kicked, because he has no way of knowing whether or not Suzy's on the level. Alright, so we very quickly run out of succubuses too stupid to tell balors that they're protected. Then what? What's Bob going to do now? I disagree. The strong have no motive to protect the weak. All they want to do is exploit the weak. And the weak KNOW this. There's no hope of it ever being otherwise, so why play the game in the first place? Your chances of winning are no better if you play, anyway. [/QUOTE]
