You are not "aligned with good" in that case, you have won some admiration from that npc and others like her.

The idea that we do not take this into account is fairly insulting, as is the idea that we do not read enough good books.

There is no need for you to defend Sangwa I am not chiding him, I am giving him a friendly nudge.

I'm not defending him, I was just agreeing. I guess now I have a better understanding of it then. Didn't mean offence.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

Parallo, you don't seem to understand the faction system. Your character is not changed one bit by the factions. Factions are how others see you.

Example: You play a bastard who would sell his own mother if it would get him a few tria. However, You don't want to have a bad image for some odd reason (girlfriend, maybe?), so you donate to the orphans every week. Even though you are still a low life scum, the people who know that you gave to the orphans will think highly of you.

+faction to Orphanage.

However, the bad guys you hang out with (AKA rogue type NPCs) might think this is a sign of weakness.

-faction rogues.

These ONLY change how NPCs will talk to you. It has nothing to do with what your character thinks.

This is as simple as I can put it: Factions=NPC's opinion of you.  Affect on your actions=0

Sangwa: You don't have a clue. Seriously. You don't. Ask folks about what actually happened IN the events before you cast your 'wise' judgment.

I understood it UTM. Xillix summed it up. But anyway, the matter at hand, to be honest I still think that the dark of heart thing is a bad way to go about it. Granted, I wasn't there but from what I heard it was for a very specific low life type of dark at heart.

True, I was thinking about some evil conspiracy, but we just had to do a robbery.
We're not evil. We're simply amazing.

I can comprehend that there's much more than meets the eye, but I can't speak of what I can't see. And what I can see is a scene where dark hearted people get magic notes in their pockets.

I'm not claiming this RP can't be fun, well thought and even complex. I'm claiming that the way chosen to go about it seems shallow and alignment focused.

See? I am fully aware of the clues around me.

EDIT: Slight changes to wording, fixed some sentence issues.

EDIT:
Don't worry, if I ever get past being a prospect, you'll get plenty of chances to criticize my work. I'll be sure to try and make it fully available for that.

Disclaimer: This is my opinion and I can be reasoned with. I'm probably right, though.

Well so far I have been in two events that call for the "Dark" of heart so to speak. One was the Dark Wanderer event and the other was the robbery event mentioned. I personally disliked both for different reasons.

The Dark Wanderer event was great in that it actually had someone walk around and approaching people becuase he needed a job done. This seemed like a very realistic way to start an event in my eyes. I definately hope to see this more often :). However the event itself was "running to the north gate, waiting, listening, running to Bronze doors, waiting for everyone, listening, running back, looking around a bit, running back to Bronze doors, listening, running back to Hydlaa. There was no real story and people who were part of the Guard of Honor and such actually helped someone like the Dark Wanderer no questions asked eventhough the mission was worded rather fishy. There was also no mention of the reward besides the general "riches" (2000 tria is riches aparently :S) making myself wonder why my character was even doing what he said. Just to many people there to make an RP of it I suppose.

The robbery I walked in on but the note seems a bit fishy you have to admit if noone like the Dark Wanderer is even involved. Further then that the evet was pretty fun eventhough it didn't have a big story. Would be more interesting if one wouldn't have so much lag and escaping wouldn't be so gamemechnic instead of RP though. But thats my opinion of events in general ;) The mass makes good RP kinda hard.

I feel that this has all been a miscommunication and I hope others see it the same way so that we can go back to being friends.

My personal opinion is that labels such as good and evil actually get in the way of subtlety. However, people may use them while in character, and they can be convenient despite the tradeoffs involved.
