Pumpkin Seeds calmed me a bit.  I guess.  I'm still not very happy.<br/><br/>I did write up a character who is a rebel.  She does not like the Delzahn, and it is her goal to remove them from power -- not to eliminate them, but to integrate them, the way she means to integrate everything into a single communal whole that functions as one.  Her problem with the Delzahn is that they have set themselves and apart from others: there is no benefit to that.<br/><br/>I can agree that CPI should not be a way to just undermine the entire city, because that's not boring, it's too easy, etc -- but it's also boring to say, I'm on this side, you're on that side, and segregate those things off entirely.  Our characters have a mutual interest -- the good of Chiaroscuro and its people (hopefully), but that probably shouldn't mean there ought not be the conflict between their approaches.<br/><br/>Also, I probably came into this whole thing livid over seeing Zaer's suggestion that my character<em>just ought to leave</em>.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Introduce a new way of life to a group of 10,000 people and see how it works out.  I applaud you.  My character will stand by and support you.  </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Madder is not a Solar.  She doesn't get access to the Solar Socialize Charms that let you implant a single idea and let it spread by word of mouth; she gets things like this instead, that force strange and somewhat alien changes on people and the world, and uses that toward her own ends.<br/><br/>She is just using the tools that are available to her, the same as anyone else does.
