Morals and Morally Corrupt

Here's a philosophically question: who is morally good in FL and who is evil? For some factions it is obvious like the Rogues, Outcasts, Red Hessians, and their scum. But what about the GC, Bruschund, and Gaians?

GC: One word Cardamine (bad)
Gaians: GreenPeace in space (they don't really matter, but they're pirates so they're bad)
Bundshuh: Angry fired factoryworkers ( I don't know why they are angry so I can't tell )

Blood Dragons: They Rule!!! (they're good)

One last note: Every faction takes bribes, so they're basicaly all morally corrupt

Hmmmm the Mollys as good. Seeing as they were so plainly made the FL IRA and I am English I will have to utterlly disagree with that.

Blood Dragons bad? They're the last loyalists to a government overthrown by corporate stooges. They're like Democrats in the USA, and Samura's the big oil companies that put GWB in power. (Just kidding).

Really, though, the Blood Dragons aren't evil. At worst, they're neutral, because they only prey on those who gained power through a coup d'etat, trying to restore a legitimate government.

And Mollys I'm not sure about. They (like the IRA) originally had a good goal, but the way in which they go about it is less than honorable. I would worry about how much worse they would become if Bretonia pulled off a massacre similar to Bloody Sunday, though.

Aren't the BD trying to restore a gov't that's been out of power for some centuries? It's like if the French tried to put a descendent of the French kings back in power. Not only is it unlikely to succeed and a waste of resources on both sides, but in all likelyhood the old gov't couldn't run Kusari any better than the current.

well. if it gives the english to kick some french arse, im all for it

Xeno's aren't evil the world went white-color on them and as blue color they just couldn't make it they hate the rich

Post Thu Jul 10, 2003 2:51 am

Nah, I'm pretty sure the Xenos hate everyone because they're xeno phobes.

If it's not the Cardamine that's talking, it's the Synth Paste™.

Strange thing about the Mollys is that they so seldom have any Irish names. Plus it's a bit much to imagine that 1,000 years from now the "Irish" would be fighting for the independence of a system in a galaxy that was unknown in Ireland. (Very decent of the Brits to give space on the Bretonian sleeper ship to the Provos!)

Seems to me the Mollys are more concerned with that gold in the Dublin system than anything. Wonder if there are any Orangemen in space ... 1,000 years from now I can easily believe they'll still be marching.

That's my thoughts on the Blood Dragons. They fight to survive, but unlike other disgruntled rebel groups, they are willing to work with the system. I got a rumor in Kyoto that the Blood Dragons had some dirt on the Samura government and where going to use it on them in the next election and topple them that way.
