Thread: Is it Balamb administrations fault Seifer went to the darkside?

    In what way have i contradicted myself? And no they didn't go to the tv station because Seifer was there but they knew he was there before they got in there. And since Seifer had his gunblade to his throat i take it he was gonna kill him. And if he didn't intend on killing him what else was he there for? And a few measly soldiers slaughter them i think not!

    You said he was going to take him hostage before. If Seifer was going to kill him, why didnt he do it right there?

    If he didnt intend on killing him, he was obviously going to take him hostage.

    And for the tenth time (at least), other soldiers would be alerted to their presense and dispatched to save the President. I feel like a broken record. Jeez.

    This is true.And one can assume that there's similar techology, such as walkie-talkies. Therefore, just one soldier can send out an alert.

    Many thanks Christmas!

    Yeah, there was definitly radio technology in their world. So all they'd have to do is send out a radio signal and alert more, not to mention that everyone in town was watching that broadcast. Any interuption by the enemy would be dealt with quickly, and in even more of a hurry since it involved the President.

    I said take him hostage or kill him. And if Seifer was there to kill him i don't think in the time it took him to do that hundreds of soldiers would be able to get there. Because if there was that many soldiers in the area (radios or not) Seifer wouldn't have been able to get into the tv station in the first place. If there was that many soldiers around there the security at the tv station would have been alot tighter.

    Point Granted. But on the other hand, he could've lucked out...or just pulled off sneaking past the guards. But the fact remains, it was a very foolhardy move. He DID mean well, and perhaps he was aiming to kill the president, and just used him as a hostage to gain safe exit. And if that's the case, what about the others...?

    Many thanks Christmas!

    I didnt say all the soldiers were on active guard for the tv station. There's clearly a lot of soldiers around Timber. Visible soldiers.

    If Seifer were there to kill Deling and leave, he would have already done it. He was holding the sword to his throat for quite some time.

    Seifer had to have known the others were in town. If he didnt, that just shows further irresponsibility on his own part - not knowing where his allies were. He was acting like an idiot, risking any number of things that could have been going on in Timber without his knowledge. That's why orders from above are so important; there's usually someone coordinating all those things, making sure everything will work out on it's own and in relation to everyone else.

    This is true. But it's also not like Seifer hasn't shown a penchant for the dramatic, too...

    Also a good point. But that negates the 'escape time' point regardless. Even if he were going to kill him at some point, his actions delayed any time that may have bought him.

    Well he knew the president was going to be making that broadcast so he must have known a bit about what was going on. And he must have been keeping an eye on the tv station so im sure he will have known that the others weren't in there when he went in. And since he did break into the tv station he will have known how many soldiers were in close proximity and how long he would have to kill him or take him hostage. And if he was going to use the president as a hostage to escape when the others arrived im sure they'd have made there escape with him. And taking Deling hostage will give him a considerable amount of escape time.And like Giga guess said maybe he was gonna kill him he was just causing some more drama by not doing it straight away.

    He knew about the broadcast, that doesnt mean he knew about what the others were doing. And if he did know what the others were going, again, it shows his lack of care and discipline. If he knew what they were doing, he knew he was putting it jeopardy. If he knew they were doing anything in town, he had to know he was putting them and their mission in danger.

    Seifer's character does not show that he's a planing sort, I highly doubt he was keeping an eye on the station or scoping it out in the least.

    It doesn't mean he knows what they are doing or where they are. But he will have known they weren't in the tv station. And thats all that matters because if he went in there alone and got the president what effects would it have on the others? And Seifer had his sorceress knight dream and his list so maybe he is the planning sort.

    It effects them cause that's where their missions were taking them. It threw all of Timber in an uproar, not just the tv station. Even if they werent headed for the station, they'd be caught for being in Timber at all after that stunt. Notice how they had to sneak out, even though Seifer was the troublemaker.

    Yes, he's a dreamer, but he really doesnt seem like much of a planner.

    They had to sneak out because they were there with Seifer, and Zell revealed where they were from and that they knew each other. If they hadn't have gone in after Seifer, or if Zell hadn't have said that, then no, they would have not had to sneak out of Timber. And to acheive your dreams takes planning.

    Yet Seifer's dream was attained without planning. Yes, attaining your dreams takes planning. But not everyone does that. I have a lot of dreams, but I dont plan to attain them.

    Are you kidding me? Do you think a town full of soldiers would see a group of strangers walking around and say "Oh hey, our President was nearly assassinated, there's some strangers, shouldnt we question them?" "What? Nah."

    The first thing that happens in that sort of emergency situation is the town is sealed off to catch the criminals. Anyone suspicious, whether they have been positively i.d.ed as the criminal or not, is stopped for questioning. Questioning at the very least.
