>True, you'll never find a SMUG Trouper, but by the same token, I'd be very surprised to see Nepenthe, Balgrimnr, Guerric or several other Imms play a Trouper or otherwise pacifistic character.
I love Troupe.
My problem with actually playing one of these kids for an extended period of time is that in my opinion the most fun part of being a Dawnie, Trouper, etc. is quest time.
It stands to reason that if I'm playing one of these guys I'm not running a quest at the same time. If I'm not running it, there's probably not going to be one. I don't think anyone would argue that these cabals/players are probably getting more value out of that time being used to run quests and the like than me playing that curiously-knowledgable svirf necromancer trouper of Selric.
I've gone through several characters in the last few years that, if not pacifistic, were unwilling or virtually unwilling to initiate conflict. More Gandhi II than Gandhi, I guess. No more Mr. Passive Resistance.
