Wow, actually up early enough to be the first to post for this one, go lack of sleep at 6am in the morning
And Mal, I loved it. Reminds me of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign I was working on a while back, with the main feel being about what is truly good and evil, I have a little writing peice on it somewhere, I may have to dig it up and get back to work on it, maybe show you, see what you think. But anyway, yeah, I found it a most enjoyable read, your writing style is definately dark, but it sort of grips you a in such a way that you can't stop reading until it is done.
I look forward too seeing your next article, and I think I shall have to see about entering that Villian contest, I know just the character....

I've said it in the Writer's Guild, but I need to say it here. Golden, Epic, and should be getting a nomination for Best Article next time around.

This does give me hope that I can talk Philosophy with you guys and gals, it would borderline on flame war tho, since one of the topics I'd like to talk about is the existence of God... him... that was off topic...

This really is a great article. As I said in the Guild, I'm convinced White is the most evil colour. At least Black is honest about itself while White is deluded.

MZ: It's possible to discuss things without flame wars but...

I liked this one. You weren't fanboying about Phyrexia through the whole thing like the last one. That's a major plus.

May as well try, eh?

Very, very true. They act all moral and righteous but really are corrupt, kind of like Yawgmoth in The Thran.

Of course not, that was mainly just for the one article

Thanks for the comments

Help others and be moral - White.
Thrive off others and only help yourself - Black
Live in the moment by your every passion and dream - Red
Pursue hidden knowledge - Blue
Follow your most basic instincts - Green

Do I win two brownie points?

Oh, and that contest sounds interesting. I hope I'll have the time to come up with something cool.

White - help "the collective" and be "moral". Last time I checked, being moral doesn't mean sacrificing somebody for the benefit of the rest.

Didn't get it... It said there "Help others and be moral - White", not "Sacrifice yourself for others and be moral - White". o.O

[Ryuzaki]

He's saying cause white sacrifices sometimes, you get -2 points from him, thereby nullifying brownie points...

good article again mal, maybe a little more blood next time...

I have no idea, in PC the colors change, Black got first strike, or no that was red...i'm confused...dang slivers..

My statement was what white really is as opposed to the popular perception you noted.
