But because they have a similar cause of action, he had to aid the people who he would otherwise fight.<br /><br />So, perhaps, like in PWF, some cause brings people who could go against each other, and forces them to work WITH each other. On the same side. While those who would work with each other might also separate because they do not benefit from what their otherwise-allies are fighting for.<br />Does that make sense, at all?<br /><br />I guess that could also be introduced later, if you wanted to start it with the simpler, 'good guys against bad guys', as we get into it.<br />I don't know. Just thoughts, y'know? Like, that might work as to bringing that OCs versus their enemies deal into being. And, yeah. :P ^^<br />Mary Contraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03688528898451760613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834450946232586830.post-83045431770535764582013-05-01T21:22:31.972+01:002013-05-01T21:22:31.972+01:00Almost.Almost.Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land https://www.blogger.com/profile/11396924932912911804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834450946232586830.post-72876241657433623302013-05-01T21:20:29.901+01:002013-05-01T21:20:29.901+01:00Not everyone is a sworn enemy of members of the ot...Not everyone is a sworn enemy of members of the other side.

I'm struggling to see how they'd just switch sides, suddenly, with the whole "evil & good" or "good guys / bad guys" kind of deal. Particularly if these people are, like, sworn enemies of the other people. ^^<br /><br />(I think this may help to clarify what I mean.
