 I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish by putting me here. I mean, I'm as hopeful as you are that a game will take me, or that I'll finally get to meet Amon himself in person. I could be a great asset to the cause if I could get into contact with him, I'm sure of it.

But I also run the risk of running into my family here. They won't understand. This is my path, like the warriors in the books I've read. They always stuck to their paths even when their families didn't understand. I just... want them to know I'm still theirs, even if everything has changed for me. If they don't listen, I don't know what I'll do. The revolution is coming and they're not prepared to see reason. I need to reread that book on that new field of study into how families work, I guess.

Either way, good luck with the game search. Something tells me we'll need it.

Wonderful!

So how do you plan on removing biased from the court?

And if power corrupts how do you plan on keeping the non-benders in power from growing corrupt?

By making the court random people instead of city leaders.

That's up to Amon to decide.

[[OOC: Oh, thanks! I'll throw her in there and see what happens.]]

[burnedbrighter]

Random people can still be biased. They can be manipulated and they can be bought.

Amon?

[unlikely_equalist]

Amon is our leader. He can take people's bending away. And he'll find a way to solve all problems. The spirits have given him guidance.

[burnedbrighter]

I see...so you are trading in your old spiritual leader for a new one.

And what proof has he given that the spirits are guiding him?

[unlikely_equalist]

He can remove people's bending because the spirits gave him the power. There's no other explanation.

[burnedbrighter]

I'm not so convinced.

But more importantly, can you put all your faith in the spirits when they were the ones who brought bending into the world to begin with?

So much of your plans are based upon humans doing the right thing instead of what is in their nature. Policing their behavior by human means rather then trusting in the spirits to punish them.

[unlikely_equalist]

They wouldn't have brought Amon into being if this wasn't what they wanted. They want this, this revolution, this change. The avatar has failed and this is the result.

I trust in Amon's plans. There's going to be problems, people who are corrupt, but we can still make the world better.

[burnedbrighter]

You are idealistic...something I remember well.

The world needs people like you who want to make it better. Who are willing to purge the monsters from it for the safety of others.

But we need all the advantages we can get to combat human nature. Removing bending would be placing an unnecessary handicap on good honest people who have done nothing wrong.

[unlikely_equalist]

Some innocent people will have to suffer for us to remake the world. It's harsh, but it's how it has to be.

[burnedbrighter]

Sounds to me like you're no better then those you're trying to overthrow if you're taking that approach.

Cold calculating logic can only take a society so far. It requires compassion and empathy.
