Hmmm....
Bribing one of the underlings...yes....
Emporer him/herself.....no....
Using their own greed to sow dissent amongst the underlings is one thing....getting the edge and killing off an Imperial lackey with the unknown help of another imperial lackey is good RP on several levels for BOTH players. Its like a 'double agent' kind of thing if you manage to get away with it over an extended period. Its a wise use of the inherent backstabbingness (that should exist) within an evil organization to further the greater good by using their weaknesses against them. For example...we know the empire is going to be there tomorrow...but what if you can help the noobs get ahead by bribing them to betray their more elite superiors...keep them noobs propped up so they get ahead and the ones who actually know how to PK down.....and betrayed....sounds like a win win for the Light....
Paying off the titular head OF the Empire is still in my opinion an act of surrender to the POWER of the empire. The emporer is no mere underling...he/she IS symbollically THE Empire itself.
And I wouldn't do ANY of this if I were a PALADIN....but Nian isnt a paladin...he isn't bound by 'the code' as much as a paladin is.
