I never said you don't enjoy the setting. Didn't even think it, really. I just thought this was a discussion where differing points of view were welcome. After all, you did ask what we thought.

Now, with that said, and to get back to my original point (and I'll apologize for the fact that I ~know~ other points have been made that I'm not responding to, but the fact is I've got other stuff going so I'm not really following the thread closely); fair enough, murder and theft aren't the best examples, so I'll throw out a couple of examples that fit in with your statements better; specifically, your statement about things we know are bad for us:

In many nations, there are rules requiring us to wear seat belts and/or safety helmets when using and/or riding the appropriate devices/vehicles. You can choose not to comply with the laws, but in the case of seat belts, you will be prohibited from driving through revocation of your drivers' license. In the other cases, you will be forced to pay criminal fines. Why? For our own good and the good of society as a whole.

Similarly, we are prohibited in most nations from partaking in certain proscribed substances either until a certain age or in total. If we do not comply, ourselves, we are forced to comply through imprisonment. Why? For our own good and the good of society as a whole.

These days, in certain areas we are prohibited from eating or drinking certain specific foods. Why? For our own good and the good of society as a whole.

It does not matter if you want to follow the above rules or not; you are forced to.

That's just the way it is. You do not always get to choose. Sometimes the choice is simply made for you.

EDIT:

Caught up on the thread. So anywho, yeah. What I said previously in this post still stands.

With that said, I've never said the DL's plan is perfect. Just that it's better than the alternative, which is unending bloodshed and terror.

I also never assumed you were saying she was Evil. And I agree that she's not an Absolute Good. She's somewhere between Neutral and Good, for my money. Sort of a lighter shade of Morally Grey.

Barring official statement contradicting what I've put forth so far about the Chief God, though, I'm still sticking with my belief that the CG's a filament short of a working light bulb.

Edited edit:

Mind you, this is barring the things from Monster Ecology that just plain make me uncomfortable, which can be explained in-setting as the Monsters being a different culture and IRL explained as KC being from a different culture where those fetishes are more accepted.
