Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tellerian Hawke" data-source="post: 7322402" data-attributes="member: 6790669">Merin nods, "Friend Sannit, I hold you in high esteem, but this is where we must agree to disagree. Life itself is a risk. I could fall off a cliff tomorrow and die. You or Bolo might contract an incurable disease, and wither away over several months' time. Tor here could get eaten by a lizard while he sleeps. Each day of life is a gift for all of us. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed. The risks are just as high alone as they are together. So the way I see it, why not die among friends?"Tor nods in solemn agreement. "We're stronger together. We should not let fear keep us from living our lives to the fullest."[gm]With the NPCs engaged, fear is never the consideration. It is dignity, discretion, and respect for the general populace. A populace that greatly fears the manipulation of Way. This is part of the core background of the gaming system. For your characters to successfully engage others concerning this subject you will need to brooch it privately. The characters would actually know this and respect it. Public opinion cannot be changed, in real life or in the game, even if the public is wrong. There are people who still believe in spontaneous generation.For a little humor:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Point of Fact: Merin, or any other PC, could not fall off a cliff.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">For a PC, there is no such thing as an incurable disease.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Konokoro! No PC will be eaten in his sleep.</li> </ul>[/gm]</blockquote>
