On the topic of the gods

Templar Aldric,

I'd argue there is a fundamental change afoot, and it glows purple, red, green, orange, and blue.

The Null are not here to change the structure of our world. They are here to erase it.

What I speak of is the existence of Light and Dark, as long as they exist so will the need to oppose each other. Might I also remind you all, it is through the existence of Light and Dark that we will save this world.

Opposition and blind conflict are far removed from one another. I've yet to see Jed scream in someone's face about how Bran isn't a person. One can oppose and still be civil. It appears the dark is willing to accept that, but I have seen no such concessions from the light.

Seeing as I have had Mr. Frost scream in my own face for a benign phrase spoken in Ancient Kormyrian and seeing as Mr. Tzaareth and I not only act civil with each other but enjoy breakfast together from time to time, I would have to disagree.

Aldric,

If some sort of worshipper of the dark gods would enter your mass to cause an upset (not saying that they would, simply hypothetical), would that not change the way you delivered your mass? Just because it is not the mission of the Null to change the structure of the world, does not mean that they will not in the process, just like the imaginary dark follower does not mean to change your mass from talking about the gifts of the light to how the dark must be kept in check (or whatever it is that would happen, I'm not all too familiar with the way you deliver your masses). The Null are going to have an effect on the structures of the world. Enemies are becoming allies all over Arawyn to see about defeating the unmakers, and some of these former enemies may not feel compelled to return to their former ways. Everything changes, keep this in mind and try not to be blinded by the overwhelming Light that you possess.


To the rest of you,

I'd have to agree that for the most part, the Dark seems to be more willing than the Light to join forces, something that is both beautiful in one way and disturbing in another. Do not let the morals established for you be your bane. Allow yourself to accept the Dark if you are of the Light, just as the Dark seems to be accepting of the Light. If we can unify this "tribe" and stop our internal conflict, we will have our world back.

With great apologies for any offenses I have made against any of you,
Haz Polzin

This is becoming tedious and you make several errors in logic. For one, I am actually at a loss as to what the point of the imaginary Dark God worshiper was in the first place. The Dark is very not 'accepting of the Light.' That is the nature of following a God in a pantheon of opposition. The Dark is no more willing than the Light to join forces. Consider that I will work with anyone to defeat the Null, to save us all. However, I appreciate that doing so will not change the basic conflict once the Null are gone.

That is not being blind, that is being realistic and you would do well to cultivate some of that realism yourself. Once the Null are gone all of these alliances of convenience will disappear. That is why making them is so dangerous and makes being vigilant to that danger so important. So many are quick to jump onto the bandwagon of finger wagging. Please, take some time to consider what the Dark is, before being so quick to support it.

As to Chenjing's point, it echoes this error and misses the point entirely. We of the Light will fight to defend you, protect the innocent and seek to spread harmony long after the Null are gone. That is our nature. What will the Dark do after they are no longer under our shared threat? This is not a call to attack the Dark, or a refusal to work to defeat the Null with any means we have at our disposal. It is a call to wake up, and be aware of the situation before assuming things.
