Oh, I actually really like that idea. It would be such a fascinating thing to thread out! And all the polarizing decisions that would have to be made... it'd just be awesome, I think.

I don't think playing the Malnosso as "good guys" alone makes sense for the setting or... even for the general impression they give off. I mean, yes, they do a lot of good things, and strictly speaking from a black-and-white perspective they come up as "good guys" when compared to the Third Party. But on their own they're still pretty shady, and I love the idea of them being more... I don't know. Big Brotheresque is a good term for it.

... This is especially relevant to me because my character comes from a world of a Big Brotheresque-government, so it strikes close to home for him.
