Why not? I thought everyone knew that your status in the afterlife was determined by the size of the entourage you brought with you and the number of vanquished foes you sent on ahead.
This part would be odd, applied to me, as I wouldn’t disapprove of killing bad guys on mere principle. So the only reasons they’d refrain because of me would be that I didn’t want them to get killed, or end up in prison. As such, that’s what I checked in the poll. The only other reason I can think of wanting them not to kill is if I thought they were unskilled (or the universe realistic enough) that they’d cause more practical trouble than they’d be solving—like if they’d cause a lot of collateral damage, or end up starting a mob war (or a regular war) that they couldn’t contain—or if I thought they’d just go completely out of control and start indiscriminately slaughtering people on purpose.
That last one would be pretty bad (“He was my best friend…my only friend…the only person in the world I liked, and I couldn’t save him. No, because I tried to show restraint, the world took him from me. I gave this world a chance…now I give it what it deserves. Blood and fire…”), depending on the BB, though admittedly entertaining.
Gandhi really got screwed on that deal.
Awww man… Still if we’ve learned anything from television, it’s that I’ll get to have a torrid relationship with her for a while before she offs my undead ass. It’s worth it.
That’d depend on the badass, methinks. Angel or Buffy dithers out of guilt. Gunn or Xena kills on the spot.
I am now seriously considering changing my username to “Beloved Badass,” or at least making it my custom title.
Do the latter. “Pravnik, our resident Beloved Badass” has a nice ring to it.
Catch the bastard, torture him until he’s irretrievably insane, then let him go.
Who says I don’t have a soft heart?
