So you're living in a crapsack world ...

I would become Batman.

I will always cherish the chance of a new beggining.

Going by the one I'm most familiar with - Westeros - I'd probably be one of the smallfolk, I'd foster some damned self-defense skills, and I'd try to get the message spread as widely as possible that destroying the crops of lands you intend to subjugate in a Westeros autumn is completely idiotic.

(Note: I haven't stomached up enough to get very far into the fifth book yet, so if something gets outmoded there, I wouldn't know.)

Hail Martin Septim!

I would be evil for the sake of good. I.e. Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters.

I am now known as Flyboy.

Well, #2 will come around by default, but I'll probably try out #1 for a while.

So ... a whole world of terrible warnings?

That’s the epitome of privilege right there, not considering armed nazis a threat to your life. - Silasw

Probably just the youngest children. Remember that Abraham got God to agree to spare the whole wicked city for the sake of ten good people, and when Sodom came up short, the four best people escaped: a father who'd throw his virgin daughters to rapists to protect male guests from them, a mother who wouldn't obey God (not bad to you, I know), and two daughters who got father drunk to rape him. The moral seems to be that once enough people in a society are evil to make it normative, nurture destroys all innocence.

Evil.

Fight smart, not fair.

Evil. But depending on the nature of the particular Crapsack World, it still might not be a place worth surviving in.

Fight or die fighting.

Well, we are speaking of crapsack world.

Although this one wonders why many people seem to read her signature as some kind of endorsement for extreme measures. That's not what this one had in mind. Perhaps this one should change the sig.

If we disagree, that much, at least, we have in common

You mean pony sig? </Haven>

The world sucks, blah blah blah. Everyone is evil, blah blah blah. We're all going to die, blah blah blah.

Wow, such an original and thought-provoking opinion. Why haven't I heard of it before?

Bite my shiny metal ass.

If being an anti-hero means being evil, then I'll be "evil".

Still waiting on that definition of evil, OP.

Though if we're going by Beholderess' interpretation of the word, I'd sooner die. I'm just having difficulty believing that the scenario "it is impossible to be alive at all without being cruel to innocents" is actually possible outside silly Internet ethical dilemmas.

Stay Chaotic Neutral.

You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.

Under this binary system?

Still depends. Evil doesn't make that much sense.

Do people rely on evil me to support them? Is it all evil all the time, or some evil?

Between the two choices themselves (not taking the scenario) I would hope for the bravery to choose death.

Except for 4/1/2011. That day lingers in my memory like...metaphor here...I should go.

Neither, because I'm a human being and not a Fable character with a black and white alignment system.

I'd be evil to my enemies, and good to my friends.

You're with me or against me in my efforts to start a thriving city-state. If you're against me, then yes, I'm really fucking evil.

Horns for everyone!

I'm tempted to say I would start a religious cult of some kind. Based on my knowledge of post-apocalyptic fiction (and sometimes IRL), however, cult leaders tend to meet rather sticky ends.

Well,it is crapsack world. Almost everyone meets a horrible death sooner or later. Might as well risk it.

I would make sure my action were Above Good and Evil.

Those who have will survive.

I will not be evil for sake of evil, but for sake of survival. If surviving means I need to kill someone, so I shall do. However, if killing someone does not benefit me anyway, why waste already limtied resources I have?

Say I meet farmer and his family, kid and wife. I do not kill farmer, rape wife and kill her and kid and steal food for kicks. Such action would only mean farm and possible food products are lost.

However, if neccesary, I kill threaten farmer, perhaps hurt his family, get what I need and leave them behind. Farmer may prepare himself better for future and yet may live to have a new harvest.

It was a Crapsack World there is a bottom there is a top. you are most likely on the bottom. False Dichotomy and all you are either a top or bottom. assuming you are a bottom do you just accept it or fight against it. So there are three choices I guess. Slave, Rebel, Runaway. I guess this might sound a bit gay with the whole top bottom b/s but this is how i view the world. not homophobic just trying to explain myself.

@ Baff

AWESOME. Batman FTW.

Anyways, I guess it's time to embrace my inner Dangerously Genre-Savvy Evil Overlord...time to go Lelouch on this world :P

I totally hate my avatar. Just saying.

Since good and evil are subjective anyway, I'll just betray whoever I have to to survive and call it the epitome of good.
