I definitely like good vs. evil in a game. Sort of spices things up.
However,
my idea of a good guy may not be the same as everyone else. for
example: I'm
going to control a small empire in our game based on ancient Egypt
(complete
with Pharoah). I envision them as an industrious, stable group with few
designs on their neighbors. KR (of Geohex) is constantly trying to turn
them
in to something sinister just because they have a hidden Artificial
Intelligence computer to help run things. KR's heroes, on the other
hand, are
(naturally) the Free Irish. They got their start by stealing a part of
the NAC
fleet. And even today are a smuggleing, theiving, piratical, scummy lot
:-).
