Much fun.] I think we agree: much unnecessary evil was done, by monsters and primes both. [I like the doodle! Much fun.]

I have no comment on their behavior, and they acted justly for what they were. I just wanted to comment on the Village and the Monsters, of which I have some sympathy for.

There are noble non-primes and diabolic dukes. What makes someone good or evil is not what they are, but what they do. No, they are conventions. There are noble non-primes and diabolic dukes.

Whatever the complications of reality are, they will not be improved by a system which believes someone is guilty because they are non-prime or innocent because they are noble, regardless of the circumstances.

Yeah, that's why I wouldn't trust one of your primes with a sharp stick. This, in case you are wondering, is why we don’t much like or trust monsters.

There is no reply link.) I appreciate the distinction. And I'm not trying to lessen what Jyondre and Yerenthax got up to. By that point, the monsters HAD forfeited whatever respectability they might have had before then. It's just tragic. The entire mess shouldn't have happened - and I still think that if the conlee hadn't been given quite that much of a run-around, it might not. We may never know how they'd have reacted had they KNOWN Beetheart had died. Maybe they'd have tried to take their piece anyway. Maybe they(who, after all, are probably quite familiar with the limitations of a mortal lifespan) might have been bitter, and TRIED to argue that they deserved something, but moved on in the end... Tragedy of the purest sort. (I would reply to your comment BENEATH mine, but I can’t. There is no reply link.)

(Conlee and blee on the motive front; but primes are not immune - not from what I've read about cley vampires.) I'm not sure there's a better way to do it, all things considered. Death can happen too fast; I might not like how World Tree law works in all regards, but I don't have a better solution to offer.
