The ways of life conflict though, which is why there is the general feeling of "Good vs Evil". I'd say Magnagora is getting the whole "All consuming empire" motif down relatively well. They do what it takes to see to it that their empire remains dominant.
What I would like to see is a more fanatical edge to Celest. It is a religiously based city, and it really needs someone to whip it up into a bit of a frenzy. At present it's full of snugglebunnies, whiners and pacifists, though of course not everyone is like that, just the people who seem to do a lot of the ranting and raving and complaining over CT. Like you said Mox, the general tipping is towards "good" when it should be tipping towards "fanaticism"(Which doesn't necessarily make you good, ie spanish inquisition). Rilandria said somewhere else in these forums that we're supposed to be a city full of zealots. And she's right. Too many people talk about peace and such and how "Aw not all those Magnagorans aint so bad, just the ones that keep cleaning us up over in Southgard and Rockholm". The city has proven that on the rare occasions when it fully pulls its finger out, it can accomplish whatever goals it sets it's mind to, because it's got purpose and focus. If you throw in the religious aspect more, as a city dedicated to the Light should be, we'd likely get a lot more done as a city (and not get laughed at so much...they're not gonna let us live down the loss of two Supernals for a while
)

I agree with you, Zhaine for the most part. Especially about the "snugglebunnies, whiners and pacifists" part. I don't know much about Magnagora, but they do seem to be quite aggressive and willing to fight for what they believe, and they've proved to be quite efficent so for, as I've noticed.
Celest needs some sort of goal or a purpose which the people can accomplish with strong leadership, but it seems that until now it's basically all about defense, hardly ever any offense. It's hard to get anything accomplished when you constantly have to defend your resources and never attack your enemies' villages or such. More zealots and less snugglebunnies is what Celest needs.
As for Celest being good or Magnagora being bad, or calling themselves that, it all really depends on one's RP and his point of view.

Yep. We're not supposed to be "good" exactly... we're not supposed to be democratic America... we're not supposed to be a place of total freedom and happiness for all. We're supposed to be religious! I wanna see more religion!

According to the crazy people in my school... you just contradicted yourself.

I've made a discovery... Celest is France. Large religious population but insists its just the cultural and economic superpower that it isn't *hum*
