> Couple things. Tell me why, IC, a rager would really give a damn what you think? I mean, all those nice words about 'courage' in game.. but, to your evil chars, isn't that just some pathetic weakness?
> Second, any mage in Thera is hunted by ragers. Yup, that includes Sylvan mages. Ragers and Warder have died, and recently too, in pursuit of Warder mages. But, you really wouldn't know that because you're a Empire and have no clue. So, yet again, why should we IC give a shit what you say.
> Third, as pointed out, we seem to be at war with masters, and Empire.. and Arbiters most of the time. The Warders happen to share these enemies. So, perhaps the ragers turn a blind eye to some things. Is this 'bad', possibly. However, does our 'courage' demand that we fight them. I do not think so. Courage is the mastery of fear, not some blind rage. Making a deal with a lesser evil, in order to prosecute the wider war makes sense in most of the spheres represented by the battle gods. And it's not much of a deal, because, like I said, Warder mages are fair game.
> Now, all of this you'd know if you were playing a rager. All of this is known by the battle imms. Yet, ragers are constantly asked questions about it, and badgered. Why not, instead of trying to come up with some pathetic excuse for why the game should be easier for you, you let it drop and let the imms take care of it.
