Message: <blockquote data-quote="I'm A Banana" data-source="post: 594001" data-attributes="member: 2067">I explain it in following:~Mercy. It is Good to show mercy. Mercy includes not killing those whom you loathe, and who have the ability to kill you. Mercy can tragically not be shown when you are being attacked, but that's why you don't go out to kill, you wait for the thing you're killing to make the first move. Otherwise, you're not Good. Maybe not Evil, but definately not Good. Probably more Neutral than anything. Surrendering is basically throwing yourself on the Mercy of those you surrender to. If those you are fighting have no capacity for Good, or believe you have no capacity for Good, surrender is not an option.~Presence/Absence of Threat. When something has surrendered, it is no longer a threat. It is coldblooded and Evil to kill something that is not a threat. This, of course, doesn't apply when the creature would definately hurt you after release.Using these to critera, some are free to surrender, and some are free to show mercy, but it's not an assumption.I'd say killing an Assassin, while not a Good action, wasn't evil at the time...you release it, and it comes after you. No paladinhood lost. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />See, it annoys me more when people use precieved problems to push their agenda...I've dealt with it very satisfactorially, I think. Just because you haven't is no reason to declare alignment useless and wrong...I mean, come on, accept different play styles. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
