Sorry, Mr. Takayama, but that is incorrect. You are awarded no points. Conflict does not equal chaos.Akio Kahoshi said:Sith are by nature chaotic. It is the core of their faith that conflict is necessary, and thus they create it even if it must be created within if they are to follow their own beliefs. Anything else is to not be sith.
I think what you meant to say wasTyrin Ardik said:Sorry, Mr. Takayama, but that is incorrect. You are awarded no points. Conflict does not equal chaos.
The core nature of the Sith is domination and the expansion of own influence and power. It is selfishness and subjugation that comprise the core tenants of Sith belief. Sith can be orderly in pursuit of their objectives, or they can be chaotic. They are not obliged to do anything other than what they want to do.
Which is why half of what I remember from the sith campaign was sith masters practising chronic backstabbing disorder, defending yourself from other chronic backstabbers, or carrying out chronic backstabbing yourself. Yup, no chaos there.Kaine Zambrano said:Do you not remember the Resurgent Sith Empire in ToR? They were a seemingly perfect balance of Sith and Imperial Order and Stability. It's not impossible, or against canon to have Sith that value Order and Stability above chaotic impulses, as long as those impulses are put to good use against their enemies.
More or less anecdotal evidence, and in no way is an indication that all Sith operated in such a fashion. Not to mention that the core tenants of the Sith are in fact, embracing passion (not necessarily chaos), whatever that passion may be - rather than denying their passions and emotions, as the Jedi instructed. That passion did not necessarily have to correlate with a negative goal or quest. Creating and maintaining galactic stability could be a passion, just as much as wanting to backstab your best friend for the lolz.Akio Kahoshi said:Which is why half of what I remember from the sith campaign was sith masters practising chronic backstabbing disorder, defending yourself from other chronic backstabbers, or carrying out chronic backstabbing yourself.

The Sith, more often than not, betray each other in pursuit of their own personal goals. They are not backstabbing for the sake of chaos, as you are implying. Chaos is a byproduct in this case, not an objective. Sith are chaotic by nature, that much can be proven true. It is not a core tenant of their belief system.Akio Kahoshi said:Which is why half of what I remember from the sith campaign was sith masters practising chronic backstabbing disorder, defending yourself from other chronic backstabbers, or carrying out chronic backstabbing yourself.

Moira Skaldi said:The Sith spent the entire battle of Corellia indulging in backstabbing. Really it was a pile-up of gambits that, while terrifically amusing, squandered resources.
