Neutral Neutral

[klemkin]

Could someone help me understand under what circumstances a neutral neutral would attack someone? Can neutral neutral be racists? Can they be sexist? I've always had difficulty understand true neutral, but it is fascinating.

[Nomak]

Neutrals must have good reason to PK someone, that is all.

[Helsieve]

True neutral tend to help the underdog so that everything remains in balance. So, sure, he could have a personal problem and attack someone, but like any neutral it can't be a habit, or he becomes evil. If someone is losing a fight, you want to help him. If Watcher is crushing Trib, want to help Trib but not join them, in case you do too well and they get the upperhand. Everything in balance.

[Elfrosto]

When I play a neutral, which is most of the time, PK is an interesting subject.

I do my neutral pk like this:

Tick me off? I attack.

Have something I want? I attack.

You're ugly? I attack.

I don't discriminate, I've attacked just as many goods as I have neutrals and I try and keep it even.

Ideally, this is the answer.

As a follower of Isadora, one may do anything they are "inspired" to do. I do so hate hearing people complain that some neutral killed them, complain when a good kills you without provocation, neutrals are nuts, never turn your back on one.

For instance, I am a watcher and you defend against my raid. You are marked for death, will I tell you..? Kind of depends on my RP doesn't it? No offense Klem, but I am never suprised that a neutral kills someone, were they kindly folk they would earn an aura of gold. I did.

this is how i ended up with an evil minotaur zerker lol..(outcast) mind you.

Elfrosto's way would definitely earn you an outcast.. and it's one of the ways I despise neutrals to be played

But as Helsieve put it (and how I've put it in other threads) is true neutral neutrals will always aid, or try to make both sides balanced. Too many orderly online? You darn well bet you should be killing some Tribbies / Orderly. Too many evils? Kill some. Too many chaotics? Kill me some Watchers/Chaotic Knights!

It sure would be nice if every 'neutral/neutral' had an affinity to see what chars were when looked at. Like when looking at a room with an elf in Knight:

(Chaotic Aura) (Golden Aura) Lunna the Knight is here.

OR:

(Orderly Aura) (Red Aura) Blargh the Dark Knight is here.

OR:

(Chaotic Aura) So and so the Watcher is here.

Would be cool

This is more the Neutrality religion. A neutral neutral could simply be someone whose personality traits fit within the neutral align and neutral ethos - an NN Gladiator can still be quite passionately anti-magic, an NN Syndi can just be about making money, etc.

[Twinblades713]

The help file doesn't really mention the religion, unless it did so by referencing the more "Contentious" followers. :/

Just start to talk to people. People will start to attack you first.

Once someone attacks you first you have a reason to kill him 61 times.

This is what I do with my goodies if a neutral takes a pot shot at me.

He gets on the murderers list.

And always watch out what way you start a fight as a neutral. I remember that Stone Giant Pirate once starting a fight with me, cause he was drunk, and was thinking that I was insulting him. This was clearly him trying to find a RP way to fight me, probably due to boredom. Lets say that I did not like it, as there was no reason for us to fight. So he got to the top of my List, and I kept a grudge against the Stone. Nothing more interesting than doing Order with a bunch of other goods and being jumped by another good.
