[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7972949, member: 6802378"] There is a thing called Natural Law. And you can't forget the respect of the human dignity is the core of our rights as citizens. Even the criminal groups have got their own codes. To survive outer menaces all groups, even evil, need to share a common allegiance. Do you know [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitna_of_al-Andalus']the fitna of al-Andalus, the civil war in the Muslim Spain what caused the end of the Omeya dinasty[/URL]? In the game of thrones, in the fight for the power not all is about astuteness and mightiness but the right allies. If you don't behave as a true leader who makes true effects to get loyalty by allies and subordinates, but as a tyrant, mafia capo or a toxic boss you shouldn't hope smartest people sacrifice for you, neither you should be surprised if you are surprised by the betray for help to your rivales as revenagence for the suffered mistreament. The power is a shadow, an illusion, you need your subordinates and you can lose because psychopaths are bad of management of human recourses. Some good people sometimes may do wrong things, but for gameplay effects, a character becomes evil when he voluntary, without mitigating circumstances of guilt, causes a serious injustice, or serious action against the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_law']Natural Law[/URL].
