RE: No Good Guys?

Written:

In my case, the infantry grunts and tankers of my side are _of
_course_ Noble Defenders of Everything Worth Defending; your evil
scummy troops are Defilers of the Universe...

Replied:

Demonization of the enemy? I knew that was a standard prep for combat 
troops but I never expected it on the list..... (grin)

I second the vote that this is a 'heavy' topic. We could spend 
inummerable bytes just concluding we all have different POV about 
whether evil exists and whether peoples are evil/good or not. Since 
the background is optional, if you don't like a No-Heroes No-Villains 
background, do what makes you and your group happy with it. If you 
like the idea of the Evil NSL crushing the helpless peoples under 
their Iron Jackboot, and being rescued by the Heroic and Unflappable 
NAC with the stiff upper lip then go for it. I think Jon has said 
repeatedly that the game(insert any FMA system) has flexibility 
engineered into almost every aspect of it so people can do what they 
want to with it. That is its single greatest virtue.
