The term 'objective' was coined for a reason

In essence, this is what you're saying:

1) Everything and everyone has a certain perspective
2) Everything and everyone is subjective on how they act and how others view them.

And this is what you're forgetting:
1) How people act on that perspective reflects on what they're doing and how they affect their respective environment.

Which is where the objective part comes in.

I read an article once where psychologists/sociologists reflected that the ideal society is one where everyone acts on their own interests (which does support game theory, if you ever read a book on the topic or taken a class). Unfortunately, the game theory does NOT work because of other mitigating factors.

In this case, how she is acting does affect her environment, and consequently, the other players of the game. I read her reasoning behind her RP, and while it is valid, it doesn't support the general environment of the game as it is today. Maybe back 10 years ago when massive gangs patrolled CF with 100 players. Nowadays? No, not really.

Just curious, how do you define yourself as an anarchist?

So full looting/saccing is ok because a character is conservative?

jmc 392 July 03, 2008 05:58AM

Nope, it is not ok WITH ME. But
