[Discuss] Too many good guys in BM?

I agree totaly.

This is a by product of paranoid rulers and others with power.  If someone complains, or is rude, or other wise makes trouble, then they are viewed with a negative slant.  They normally do not get as much assistance and are seldom given titles.

So people who become board with the 'good guy' act some times turn the exact opposite.  They play an evil character.  But they dont last long.  Word travels fast, even in the FEI, and that character becomes an outcast.  Every little thing that goes wrong, proven IC to be your fault or not, ends up being blamed on you.  Thus you find your self banned and moving from realm to realm.

On other islands then the FEI it is worse.

But I have seen some good realms work with it, and it is great fun when they do.  But it comes down to the ruler.  If the ruler is a good RP person, then he/she will alow the evil to thrive for a while...because it is fun.

I just wish everyone did that.
