That is more than fine as you are free to make your choices and simply deal with the fallout. Weak absolute regimes tend to struggle quite a bit. That is the issue that most face.Reliant121 wrote:That requires somewhat of a choice for the person playing them.
Maybe it is a flaw of my lack of age, but I cannot simply ignore my own moral compass (I'm about as kind natured as Jesus) no matter whether this is a game or something else.
And I fully admit to trying to push various governments towards more draconian actions against their own and other people. I would fall over thrilled if the Romulan player decided that he needed to stuff every living Vulcan into an oven. Not because I support genocide in anyway but because it gives the game depth, removes a lot of ambiguity we tend to wallow around in and makes it seem like something real and important is driving events.
I would love it if someone stepped forward and moved to be a real, threatening bad guy to give us more direction. The Hur'q and Borg really are there to fill in that role if we have nothing. But it would be much more fun were it player driven.
