....using the logic that a Lawfull, Orderly society prevents indiscriminate death, murder, ect. but noone in the Dawn ever agreed to aid, stating it was not their problem, even though Battle is lead by the servant of a Demon Lord from Hell, second only to the big "S".
I disagree with your statement that: "they are not a group of "peace-lovers", rather they are the hope that each day will and can be better than the last."
I have found them, instead, to be just that, a cabal of pacifists that do not get involved in anything.
Now there is nothing wrong with that, of course. Pacifism is just as valid as any other way of life, and it's cooler, in many ways, especially compared with being an asshole-PKer.
IC and OOC, however, I don't buy into TOTAL pacifism because it causes situations like you've just said. They essentially "stick their heads in the sand" and ignore the death and chaos around them.

P.S. No,I'm not flaming Dawn. I think I'm going to make one, once I'm done with Quint, since I'm in this for the RP, anyways. Even then, I'm not sold on total pacifism, though.
Still, Team Fortress Classic sates my bloodlust fine, thank you. :P
