Price List

Is there anything in you Evil Overlors hand book about having a big busted lady by your side? ;)
Errr. Evil Overlord Rule no 209?

I will not, under any circumstances, marry a woman I know to be a faithless, conniving, back-stabbing witch simply because I am absolutely desperate to perpetuate my family line. Of course, we can still date.

This one's my personal favourite:

Evil Overlord Rule 220:
Whatever my one vulnerability is, I will fake a different one. For example, ordering all mirrors removed from the palace, screaming and flinching whenever someone accidentally holds up a mirror, etc. In the climax when the hero whips out a mirror and thrusts it at my face, my reaction will be "Hmm...I think I need a shave."

Advice Earl : drink lots of water during.

The real test is not in deciding what one would do when approached by someone with a large sack of cash blatantly attempting to bribe you to subvert your morals. Many people find that relatively easy to resist, as it's so obvious and clear-cut a decision.

The real test, in my opinion, in is develping a set of morals and standards that are consistent, disciplined, and not swayed by one's own interests, and to uphold those principles regularly in small matters and in large. Those of us who fail tend to fail there. By the time the man with the sack of cash shows up, we've already granted ourselves most things that we are likely to want to do.

I was thinking more along the lines of arm candy. ;)

I was chatting with a fellow AHer last night, and the subject of morality came up.

That lead to what we were willing to do and how much money would be involved to make us do it.

On thinking about this for a while, I decided that a price list for our morality would be an excellent thing in our competitive world. As an addendum to our resumes, a price list would be most useful. Our prospective employers would know exactly what we were willing to do and exactly how much it would cost.

A realistic price list could mean the difference between employment and poverty.

So I'll get it started.

Murder: I can't be paid enough.
Rape: Ditto
Grand Larceny: $10 million or 10% of the take, minimum


Feel free to add to this.

It would all depend on the circumstances. I have turned in rather large sums of money. (Okay so to me they were large sums of money.) I have also turned in items like wallets, a couple of handbags, a camera, a couple of rather pricey watches and other bits of jewelry. For two years I ran an ad in the local paper about a silver keepsake box I found while diving. (It wasn't much but to someone out there I'm sure it meant something special.) That being said there are circumstances where I can envision myself stealing, but it would be a rare thing indeed which lead me to such desperate measures.

Murder, assault, assorted mayhem? Depends on the circumstances. If some one were after my family, they wouldn't be found. If someone were to rape my wife? There is no hell worse than what that person or persons would suffer. If had a clear shot at someone holding hostages and had the green light? Deep breath, let it half out and time the shot between your heartbeats. Would I sacrifice myself to save others? No question but the answer is yes. Would I expect others to do the same for me? I would hope they would but I wouldn't expect it. I'm old fashioned in my beliefes, and still believe in and live by a personal code of honor.

I will not steal. I will not lie. But if someone I love is at risk, all bets are off and I will do what I have to. Murder? Damn straight. If necessary I could kill and be perfectly all right with it. My hair trigger temper that I had when I was a teenager and in my early twenties almost made me a murderer several times. If not for the intervention of certain people I would be in prison right now. Let me tell you, you haven't experienced an "Oh Shit!" moment until you come around from a rage induced blackout covered in someone else's blood in the back of a speeding van with all your friends piled on top of you holding you down.

I used to be a very bad man. I worked for some unscrupulous people doing their dirty work for a LOT of money. I never killed anyone for money, but beatdowns weren't uncommon. The only reason I could do it was that I knew for a fact that I was only beating down other scumbags. (I'm including myself in the scumbag description.) People who know me now would never believe how I used to be. Hell, I can hardly believe it.

That said, I never sold out my morals. It's just that my morals were very flexible in some instances. LOL.
 
I know about those rage blackouts Boota.

Had one once when I was a kid. The only reason I didn't hurt the other kid badly is because I didn't know how.

I still carry the emotional scars from that. One of my biggest fears is that it will happen again.

And it's one of the reasons I hide from the world so much. Most human behaviour is puzzling and frustrating to me. So I limit my exposure.

I don't know which is worse. The Rage Blackouts or what I live with. Instead of going into a blackout I go into an ice cold, completely focused state where pain or injuries don't matter. All that matters is my goal of ijuring a specific person or reaching a specific goal/target. I will not stop until I am done, regardless of injuries to myself.

I don't hide it, my wife knows about this side of me. (She's seen it once.) I have learned to controll it for the most part yet I fear something happening that would release this demon. Thankfully there are very few things which would uncork that particular bottle and release that genie.
