Crowley went around with a deliberate attitude of 'trying to be deliberately contrary and chaotic to further my own legend' much of the time, so you can expect inconsistancy and contradiction. Which, of course, proves that he's CNI don't think Aleister is a good example of Chaotic Neutral thinking, honestly. He's more TN, in my eyes.
Read it. Now.I haven't read it yet, but have been meaning to. Alan Moore, right?
Why are you still reading this? Go on. Get hold of it and read it.
However, we have to work within certain limitations, and one of those is this: quests for PrCs are scripted, not DM-driven. Now, I'll do what I can to retain some randomness, but there will of necessity be a certain amount of structure in the Confounder quests. Having said that, there's nothing wrong with having a bit of structure every now and then - Forianites can be perfectly law-abiding, orderly, organized people, at least for a few minutes at a time.
I just don't see a way, short of me applying for the team as the DM for Forian and wandering around ingame CONSTANTLY randomly making people Confounders, for it to work without some sort of organization. Which is why I'm doing my damndest to make it as DISorganized, and equilateral, and mutually validating, as possible.
Looking back at what I wrote, yeah, it does remind me of the Discordian Fundamentalist Inquisitors I've met in the past. You know the types, the "My pineal gland tells me better than yours" ones.
And here we get into the actual meat and potatoes of the issue. We will, of course, need an actual scripted quest for it. So we need at least SOME structure.
However, to quote Orleron himself:
"Any warrior who takes it upon himeslf [sic] to worship Forian for his ability to grant them their own selfish desires will often wind up as a confounder. Most confounders have no rhyme or reason in what they do in the long term. They simply exist from day to day."
In other words, it's not the act of doing something for Forian that makes you a Confounder; it's not the act of obeying his orders; it's the act of just being you. This is cool and impossible to do in a game.
More importantly, Aloro has read this far and hasn't gone out and got hold of V for Victory.
*Sigh* I wish. I live with a Randite, unfortunately....because THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS OBJECTIVISM.
It's a bunch of people who can't open their minds far enough to grasp the concept, so they do the best they can which is fixate on the doctrine. Which ain't directed at you, Abdul. It's old wounds from old flame wars, yeah?
So, sorry. I was ranting and allowing my character's views to influence my own, and neither speak well of me as a roleplayer.

Be told to do the above, but if you actually do it, you forever lose the right to become a Confounder. Hey, Forian has no need for those who obey orders.
