Default NA= Evil

NA takes a view that theweak should be culled - people like Stephen Hawking ,Albert Einstein and anyone else that cant contribute to the standards that NA set will have to go .

Not to mention the racial bigotry - its eeirely similar to the 1930s-40s politics.

Save those who can be saved is all very well , but I have an opinion that the NA would rather cull anyone that doesnt fit the profile regardless of actual capacity ofthat person . ( I.e dissent is not allowed ).

We have our own take on the NA in our campaign called the NDP - no racial bigotry but certainly an exclusive system towards those who take a different view to their utilatarian authoritharian ways .

But kalos makes an interesting argument - how do you say in English - arbitrage ? Prioritizing the wounded at teh scene of an accident into green , yellow and red tags -red tags : try to minimize suffering but do not waste resources to save ,those resources can be spent actually saving someone with a better chance of making it .

To challenge the humanity of the party is always interesting .Should the value of human life be sacrificed for survival ?

Should the players meddle in the overlord NPCs scheme of dividing the few rations left that leaves some to starve and thus ensures survival of the few -splitting the rations would mean that everyone runs the risks that come with starvation .( Deseases etc ) .

What is better? Sacrificing some to save someone else or standing together to try and keep up our humanist values ?

In recent years ( as I have matured..sort of ..) I have begun to think - who would be the "evil and stupid marauders " ? I dont think they would be guaffing ruffians in latex and spikes collars on motorbikes that rape and kill without remorse in T2K . ( Although there will always be people with questionable fashion sense and bad morals ) .

I see them more as desperate people of all ages and both sexes that are driven to aggression by hunger and fear .

Killing regular folk like that might not be a fun evening for your players though..

SO in some ways I guess morals will have to bow to good oldfashion clean justified kills in game
