alright, since we're back to asking played out, meaningless philosophical questions in between, you know, posts of actual value, I figure we MUST be bored.
so, in my infinite generosity, I'm putting up another one of these.
don't worry, no need to thank me! I'm just looking out for everyone's best interests.

same drill as the last time.
select "anonymous" and go nuts.
talk some trash, make that love confession you're too spineless to say otherwise, play anonymous hangman.
you'll feel better afterwards.

(seriously, though, friendly reminder: no1curr.)

If I have, my actions were my own, and the vengeance of a permanent nature.

There is no honor of any kind in enlisting a mob to do what must be one man's deed.
Doubly so in this place, where there can be no true end by such a method.

[puppy_lancer]

there was no honor in Sephiroth's actions either
does he get the free reign to do what he wants?

[chevalier_mal_fet]

No honor has been claimed by him, in this place. Therefore, he has none to lose.
Only those who claim honor and violate it are answerable for its loss.

Do you mete out justice as you see fit?

[puppy_lancer]

I will mete it out to those who would hurt my family
i have no Master, so i will protect those whom i have come to love

[chevalier_mal_fet]

Your protection-- your safety, like your family, is an illusion.

No good will come of this.

[puppy_lancer]

I am a hero
I will protect them
and i won't take no good as an answer

[chevalier_mal_fet]

A courageous heart and noble words, but your actions are those of a shortsighted, vainglorious fool.

I wish you a better answer, truly, but fear you will not find one in this place.

[midgarhorizon]

If you knew anything about the "man" they were stopping, you'd keep your mouth shut.

Reaffirming ANON

[chevalier_mal_fet]

It is not for you to question the value or extent of my knowledge.
Nor is it for you to determine my actions.

I am not a man to find my courage within a mob. I make my own mind, and act upon it as I see fit.

[anon] sorry sorry he's a little pissed

[midgarhorizon]

I am, because you know jack all of what happened. I know that guy. I know what he's capable of. And let me tell you; that person wouldn't have been brought down by a single man. Could not have. It took nothing short of a "mob" as you call it to take him down last time, and I'm surprised they were able to now. Doing what they did took a helluva lot more courage in just their pinky to face him than you got in your whole being, oh so wise anonymous person. So back the fuck off and keep your opinions to yourself when someone's trying to do the Tower a favor and lock away the people that'll destroy us.

Haha, no fear! It's freaking BERSERKER he's shouting at, so it's all good. Anger, he gets.

[chevalier_mal_fet]

There are forces here at work that may indeed destroy those imprisoned here. Few more likely than foolishly warring amongst ourselves to the amusement of our captors and the detriment of any pretense at common cause.

You take great pains to enoble your own cause. It has been admitted to me that your action was simply an execution spurred by petty vengeance-- and, evidently, by events outside these walls. I care nothing for these events and indeed, nothing has been gained for the safety of those for whom you claim to care-- or for the safety of those for whom you do not.

Attacks on my courage will avail you nothing, for I know myself. As you do not.
This "favor", as you call it, is not a thing I value or desire. Your lack of strategy and subtlety is appalling-- particularly as you have those naming themselves knights among your ranks.

I speak as I will, and when I will.
Indeed, I serve and protect whom I will and as I will, and need no assistance to do so. This is my way.

[anon]

[midgarhorizon]

I never said I was involved with the fight, that's what you get for assuming. I said I know better than you, and surprise surprise you're still harping on "honor" and "justice" and "petty vengeance." My cause is because that bastard tried to destroy my planet just because he could, and almost succeeded. Fuck your petty vengeance.

Re: [anon]

[chevalier_mal_fet]

Your cause is meaningless to me. For, as I have said, I care nothing for events outside these walls.
The vengeance extracted is all the more meaningless if word of these events informed it.Let us hope others do not pay the price for the lack of forethought and self-control exhibited by those involved.

Perhaps your closing sentiment would be better addressed to yourself, and to those who did participate, since you say you did not.

[anon]

[pinnaculum]

I am familiar with the past events you refer to, although I do not condone them, so I do know about the man in question.

Yet I must agree with the other writer. Their actions were meaningless and reflected poorly on them. They were vengeful and dishonorable.

[anon]

[midgarhorizon]

I'm only going to say it once, so read above.

[anon]

[pinnaculum]

To reply to your comment to the other writer, if you mean it to be addressed to me as well:

I did not assume you were involved with the fight. I do not know who you are.

You are wrong. You may know as much as I do, but you do not know more, and you may know less.

I agree that honor may not be an important quality, although some value it. Let us remove it from the discussion, along with vengeance. Honor has no more relevance. In either case, what they did was meaningless. It will change nothing and has likely made the situation worse, because their emotions overrode their common sense.

[anon]

[midgarhorizon]

I'll agree with you reluctantly at the last point, but I don't see how it or something like could have been avoided before the End.

[anon]

[pinnaculum]

I understand the desire to attack an enemy, but their tactics are flawed. Their intentions, strengths, and weaknesses are now known, and their enemy may be inspired to retaliate. Encouraging this kind of behavior is dangerous, regardless of your moral beliefs. To be angry with him is not constructive.

so anon

[irreverence]

wow

someone's judgey

[chevalier_mal_fet]

If your words are meant as an insult, I do not take them as one.

[irreverence]

observations are hardly an insult

if I called you a pretentious, self-righteous dick now THAT would be an insult

[chevalier_mal_fet]

It would be three insults. Had your words any weight.

[irreverence]

compound insult, really

but also, point made- you don't care what I think, so why should any of the other knight-types care what you think?

REaffirming his permanon - unless you're calling him out

[chevalier_mal_fet]

No knight, nor indeed any other, in this place is obligated to care what I think.

I may, however, regardless of whatever class is mine, express myself here to whom I wish and in whatever manner I wish.

At least as things stand.
Given time, the most righteous mob may attempt to institute and enforce its own rule. I will dissent while I may.

nah she doesn't care enough to call anyone out

[irreverence]

point for that, at least

but man you have got some serious reconsidering to do if you think Diarmuid's the type to go all martial law on folks

he's a good guy, your opinion of his conflict-resolution skills aside
