Guild Wars 2

Ellen Kiel is your personal nemesis. Good job on voting for her. /sarcasm

The real hero is stuck at 48%. But heroes don’t quit! Vote Evon for truth!

Heroes usually become heroes after they die. Would YOU like Evon to die?

Actually I can’t stop giggling.

Perfect response to a thread like this haha

Usually the villain dies first. That’ll happen when we team up with Evon to take down Kiel!

This only makes me get more desire in vote for Kiel. I mean… have a personal nemesis is the thing we are waiting since the very start of the game LOL

a vote for ellen kiel is a vote for ignorance

Unless you’re able to explain why, I’m afraid you’re going to have to apply that label to your own statement.

It’s not just that Kiel is portrayed as a hero, it’s also because Evon Gnashblade is portrayed as a jerk. He does nothing but look after his own interests.

Have you played both of the in-game candidate trials? Kiel wants to recover the stolen items from the Aetherblade wreckage and redistribute it to the people the Aetherblade raided. She insists that her campaign “will not be built on the backs of victims”. It’s noble.

Meanwhile.. Gnashblade wants to recover the stolen items from the Aetherblade wreckage and use it to fund his political campaign. He went as far as to quote his version of the “finders keepers” rule as justification.

Now, imagine you’re one of the merchants devastated by the Aetherblade raid. Is Gnashblade sounding like the hero of that story to you?

If that’s what the Abaddon fractal will cost us, then I’m willing to allow it.

The thing is, it’s supposed to be us who decides our story, not a pre determined merchant destiny. I’m sure plenty of us would rather have more of a villain for a leader in our stories.

Yeah.. we had that already with Minister Caudecus, and it was pretty unexciting. If you’re looking for politicians who favor greed and self interests at the costs of making the world a worse place, just turn on the news. I like my gaming experience to be different from real life, though.

Except Caudecus is in a typical position of being an evil antagonist, rather than on the player side. Some players like having a break from the normal siding with good.

Also, when it comes to video games, making the world a worse place gives often gives you more to do anyway. If everything were fine, then you wouldn’t have any events or quests to do.

Remember, we don’t actually live in Tyria, so we don’t have to worry about little things like that affecting us.

Both candidates stood around and watched in the candidate trials.

Not true, I saw Evon fighting.

Oh dear. How desperate Evon has gotten that he is having his supporters resort to slander to try and win the election. As if bribery wasnt enough.

That’s just the point – we already have very bad things happening to the world of Tyria. You know.. the dragons rising and all life being at stake. So why in the world should we ever be interested in focusing on some politician’s petty political schemes?

As for “siding with good”, if you’re looking to side with a villain then you’re playing the wrong game. It’s been stated repeatedly that players take on the roles of heroes in this game. If there is a story to be told with an evil NPC, you’ll never be working with that NPC, you will always be working against him.

Evon was such an hero…

That made me lol so much.

I bet my Charr would gut Evon if the game allowed me to, preying on the weak and profiting off of it..

Heroes get remembered, legends never die

Either way I said “more of a villian” not the villian, when talking about Evon. As in sure, do the right thing by beating the bad guy, but think more about yourself too. In case you haven’t figured it out, Evon isn’t evil, nor has he done anything evil.

I will be very satisfied if Kiel turns out to be a real villain (orchestrating some of the evils we have dealt with recently), seems too good to be true though.

I don’t know.. Evon having adventurers recover stolen property and then using that stolen property to fund his political campaign seems evil when his opponent, Ellen Kiel, is returning the stolen property she helps recover to the victims who were raided.

She just seems “normal and decent” to me. It’s really sad when we see someone behaving decently and we automatically assume they’re up to no good because we’re so used to everyone around us being anything but decent.

How in the world is that evil?
Ellen is returning hero= good path, she helps the merchants
Evon is keeping it= neutral, it doesn’t harm merchents further, it doesn’t help merchants eitehr
Evil= Harming
Frankly, keeping a load of treasure you stumble apon is what most people would do. It’s even what Ellen’s subordinate expected to do.

Not being good =/= evil

Interesting how an obvious huckster like Evon has drawn so many people in.

Give me the less obvious huckster, Kiel, any day.

;)

“Keeping it neutral”. LOL. I think the merchants might disagree. Neutral would be not getting involved. Neutral is not recovering someone’s stolen property and then using that still-stolen property to finance your needs.

Again, someone not helping the merchants doesn’t make him evil. That’s a ridiculous claim to make. Not getting involved = sky pirates get it to fund their crimes against LA. Getting involved= Evon gets it to fund his campaign. One harms people, the other has no good or bad affect on people.

Neutral means not getting involved in a war sense, not in a moral sense. Huge difference.
In a moral sense, it means not good or evil.

At this point I’m seriously questioning your moral compass. We’re going to have to agree to disagree here.
