I'd argue that short time preference should be part of the definition of evil. It's taking shortcuts to get what you want, consequences to others be damned. Long term evil plans can exist, but they always feel a lighter shade of gray than the short term ones. There's inherently some valor necessary to execute a long con.
When you go past the usual "evil" descriptions like murder and rape everything blurs, since what's evil for some is good for many. Liam's technically overtaxing his subjects and spends big amounts of money on a whim but since he lifted people out of poverty it's overlooked.

You know, I really appreciate Liam's personality that is affected by his previous life. He was exploited and abused, so he wants to be the evil one this time to do it back. (but he's too competent to be full on evil. Tho I wish he's more smart than just being lucky all the time.) He was taken advantages of, so he only trusts and helps people who he sees as failure. It musta make him feel good about himself.

Euresia won me over lmao.

In Soviet Russia House Banfield, girlfailures rise.

I get a feeling that 'frontier world' the children get sent to will still be infinitely better than even this one.
well.... Banfield IS considered a fronteir world, and these dudes had their citizens in the fucking MEDIEVAL period, so yeah, frontier world=liam's worlds that are like an alien civilization of technology away from this.

Instead of it being a traditional Frontier World, it'll be a Banfield Frontier World, which means exceptional education, housing, food, stipend, and other high qualities of life, probably.
yeppers, this

Even if he tried as hard as he can to reveal it, Liam would probably think something like: "Wow, the guide is trying to make me think that all this was achieved by my own efforts and that he didn't basically hand me everything on a stick? He's so humble and nice... also he's really bad at lying. If my Master was a fraud, then how could I possibly have followed The Way of the Flash?"
I guess what I wrote wasn't very clear, what I meant was: "Liam himself can confess to the entire universe that he's evil, and show evidence of it all, and nobody would fucking care because they're already in his team".
So even if the guide would be able to "expose Liam", or whatever it is he wants to do, it just wouldn't work for shit. The Guide's checkmated, for the reason you mentioned included :u

And a 2% higher tax rate than his core territories. (It's still lower than 90% of all planets because he's "playing the long game" except he forgets to raise the taxes)

I feel like at this point, even if he exposes him to be the devil, everyone will just go with it.
Liam is at a point where he can point at the sky, and say "it's the ground", and his entourage will just nod and agree.
Liam tells everyone he's evil. They all think it's just his weird sense of humor, not realizing that he's incapable of being cruel to people who don't deserve it. He has the potential, if he treated civilians they way he does pirates he would be the most hated man in existence.

but he's not a bad person so he just comes off as excessively righteous, which is why people borderline worship him.

I'll be honest the guide is actually a pretty boring gimmick at this point. I hope he either does something or dies soon.

How on earth does a woman so competent she became a special forces operative become a girl failure that quickly?
Women :coffee:
