Talk:Silencer (Crusader)
Civlian casualties edit
Whether the Captain kills the civilians in any missions doesn't matter. The WEC is shown to kill its own citizens and survivors of rebell assaults for sheer propaganda value. Any wittness of his actions is thus doomed to die, whether it's the Captain who kills them or not, presumably because the existence of the silencer corps and the fact that one of its elite soldiers defected is to be kept secret at all costs. He's certainly not bound by any morals in his decision whether he should kill civilian WEC employees, but I'd say the idea that he goes around killing them simply to make them dead is a gross oversimplification — in many cases the civilians will raise alarms, for example, thus warranting killing them in order to remain unnoticed. — 91.0.110.123 02:37, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Deleting and redirecting edit
While I agree that this article in itself is probably not notable, I disagree in the manner it was deleted and changed into a redirect. No attempts to discuss or possibly fix have been undertaken. Instead of deleting with the words "Do not bring this back without adding real world information" discussion should have taken place first to try to fix it. I think merging a heavily trimmed version of this article with the character list would be the best solution and changing the redirection to the character list once it's done. I will try to do that later this week.--Fogeltje (talk) 09:20, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Proposed text to be merged with List of Crusader characters edit
I have made a first attempt to create a text to merged with the list of characters, doing my best not to describe it in in-universe style. Any comments and improvements are welcome but in my eyes it shouldn't be expanded. All the relevant information is present and mission details are not appropiate due to plot details in my eyes.
