<grin> I get the impression from the responses to this already, and the
posts that prompted your query, that it would appear people's SR games may
well be more 'grey' than their own personal outlook on things...

I, too, keep my game rather indeterminate. I would not call either the
players nor their opponents either the good guys nor the bad guys. They are
both good in some ways, and bad in some ways.

Occasionally it's nice to have more 'black and white' games (maybe it's a
falling back to those DnD days? ;-)), and these often seem to manifest in,
for example, bug runs. It's pretty easy to band together against a common
foe like bugs - you come out looking like the good guys no matter how you
deal with them.
