totemo iidesu ne!

I like how you showed what white really is, and what not.

Showing how religion is used purely for one's own gain...

Great article, rather long. I had to read 1/3 of it yesterday, and go to work, then read the rest this morning...xD....still worth it! Waiting for the next one!

In Magic for White, mostly, yes. And sometimes in real life, sure, but never 'purely' .

Re: The Dungeon of Malefict: Pure Evil.

Ironic. When someone argues in favor of thier faith, they get battered by those who disagree, but it is ok to for someone else to bash faith. I don't understand people these days.

Not that I am trying to start a debate, just merely pointing out the irony.

It might be a little too far towards debate, the picture.

and i'd reply to you but that'd be debate

That was not my intention. I just thought it was funny and whatnot, and made sense in the context. Jeez, you people take everything seriously...

Since when was it ok? :/ People bash everything they don't understand .

Re: The Dungeon of Malefict: Pure Evil.

The story was nice. I liked it. But was the only point to show that white can have a dark or evil side? That's sort of been done before. By Malefict.

Mostly... but it also touches a bit of philosophical-ish stuff on Magic's colors and good/evil stuff in general. Black isn't wholly bad, nor is White wholly good - it's meant to get you thinking a bit (though conspiracies are much fun... at least I think so). Glad you liked the story

Ehm... by me? O.o

This article has been reposted for 1/15/08. Feel free to discuss the article.

What do you think of story-telling articles? Maleficent seems to master them well? Do you agree?

Thanks in advance for talking!
