How come all the evil people are somehow Scottish?

I detest that, Ben Franklin is the most badass wizard in all the land.

Abe Lincoln outclasses him as the greatest Sorcerer that ever lives.

Ben Franklin: "I fashioned myself a new name, a name I knew all would fear when I became the greatest sorcerer in the world."

Harry Potter: "Abraham Lincoln is the greatest sorcerer in the world!"

By the way, I too will be an evil, mean motherfucker. I will say things like "Boo frikidy hoo!," have a miniture clone of myself, and make decisions like demanding a million dollars, because who would want billions when you can have.... millions?

I'm ashamed to say that I've already chosen the middle ground on a question, damn me and my fence sitting!

I killed the enemy when I answered the poll. Letting him live would forever tarnish my evil reputation, and if I conscripted him, he might turn on me someday. Killing him was the smart- and evil- choice. :D

Agreed. You cannot trust such an enemy. I voted for that, but it was only the closest thing to what I would have really done, which is kill him with warning. See, I've always figured the supreme evil is absolutely honest, never lies. He tells you what he's going to do to you, tells you there's nothing you can do about it, then proves it. I would have told him, "I'm going to set you on fire and laugh as you die," then I would have done it.

Also, I missed answering yesterday's question, but I would have taken the third option there, as well.

I think the third option for yesterday's question was 'turning the two feuding families against eachother'. If you selected that choice, you got a 'pile of treasure', which was nice. :P

Obviously I chose the third option. Chaotic evil FTW!

Since I let them kill each other last time, I will let him go nicely along his merry route. But if he crosses me again; off with his legs! I wouldn't take his head off, who do you think I am?

Mmm it was one of the main selling points for myself buying a 360, LOVE'd Fable 1.

With this one (the nemesis) it didnt specify how much they...nemisised(?) you so I just assumed they were your rival rather than actual enemies

and so decided to convert them to my cause after all two evils are double as effective. I also refuse to believe my character so incapable of indoctrination/brain washing/borderline mental torture that they would later turn on me.

it's a shame there isn't a "Shoot point point blank in the face" option, in the spirit of the addition of firearms.
But oh well, lopping off heads with swords isn't too bad.

(or bursting them off with lightning, better still be in the game...)

Also if the Nemesis is like Whisper from Fable 1 then i'd definately kill them.
Teach them for always calling me farmboy...
even when pleading for their life...

Yeah, 200 bucks for a 360 rocks. Two paychecks down the road, I'm buying that thing.

I picked convert them to my cause, it doesn't make sense to me to just let them go and killing them would be a waste, they would be much more useful as a minion.

Not entirely true. There's an actual chapter in The 48 Laws of Power about situations when you should conscript your enemy, or when you should just kill him/her and be done with it (fantastic book with tons of historical examples). It's entirely situational, which is something that always bugs me with these polls. There's never enough detail and the responses to your choice are always annoying in a black and white childish sort of way.

Yep, you just need a total of 5 to 'count', and it's running through the 23rd.

Kind of like the choices in a typical RPG. Funny, that ;)

I would have done it in reverse. I'd set him on fire in a way that he will definitely die but live long enough to hear my evil monolouge, give my evil monologue, and then watch him burn while I perform my evil laugh (To be a respectable villian, you must have an evil laugh). I decided to kill my nemesis. After all, if he's my nemesis, he must have been doing stuff that would make me want him dead.

Sounds interesting. I'll check that book out.

Well, in response to all the evilness around here, I shall be Goody O'Caringhappy.

Complete Neutrality! I shall be Greymane the Uncaring!
no though I almost always end up being the virtuous as all hell good guy! so here's to being a bloody Paladin again!(even though in fable 1 I was always completly maxed out before finishing find the archaelogist, and as such was called will user!) (though I have been working on being the rip apart the world excretes pure liquid malevolence bad guy in fable and with my latest KOTOR and KOTOR 2 characters., just too bad that game doesn't have sith swords, because I was trying to make a sith Marauder version of Kingdom Under Fire's Reigneir.
anywho, bring on SirLord Thorin Heavenbeard Lightsword, defender of all that is virtuous and noble!

You could get it on the PC. Like I'm doing. Or you could just get White Knight Chronicles, which is similar, but with the ability to turn into a giant knight and beat your enemies to a bloody pulp.

And how much is it to get it up to a barely functional level?

What better way to eliminate an enemy than to bring him to your cause (they use that exact logic in the first KOTOR.)
I choose the option to mediate the dispute, and gained the adoration of the town, they made me mayor or something of the like!
the heavenbeard was an on the spot thing, I was trying to come up with the most virtuous sounding name I could think of, and that popped into my head.

you've got the good answer, the bad answer, then you have that tricky logical logical answer, it's tough not to choose the logical answer.

I'm wondering how I'll come out. A whole village of people to slaughter? "SLAUGHTER THEM!". My party is up against a big mofo, distract him till they can slip away.

I'm not even sure what alignment I am normally :/

I slipped away, my new nemesis-slave can handle it, hell if he survived for so long against me this monster shouldn't be a problem. I will sit back and watch, perhaps shouting out quirky one liners whenever they would apply.

I dunno, usually the "logical" answers can be pretty nefarious too. Recruiting more soldiers to the cause in order to further your campaign for world domination? Just because they leave off WHY you recruited him doesn't make it any less sneaky

Alignment: Neutral Bastard

EDIT: For anyone interested, The 48 Laws of Power was written by Robert Greene. He's also written The 33 Strategies of Warfare and The Art of Seduction, all of which are great books.

Blast, these questions need more detail! I'm trying to pick what I would do in real life, and it's incredibly difficult when I don't know the situation.

-If I was confident that I could stall the monster long enough and still make it out alright, I would have picked the first option.

-If I knew I would likely die if I stayed behind, I would order a retreat, and hope that everyone survived.

-If the people I was with were total jerks who had provoked the monster in the first place, I would sneak away and leave them to their fate.

Guess I'll just stick with the "neutral" options, unless a more obvious question comes about. Still, nifty idea! Can't wait until tomorrow's question.
