Some how in my mind this was always clear--the forestmen are the good guys. I suppose that comes from a "robin hood" mindset, but they are also the simple, normal people who have lives outside of war (they arn't wearing armor all the time). I'm curious to see if anyone thinks they are outright bad.

I voted neutral although with set names like;
• 6054 Forestmen's Hideout http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/archives/6054.html
• 6066 Camouflaged Outpost http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/archives/6066.html
• 1974 Smuggler's Hayride http://www.classic-castle.com/sets/archives/1974.html
I don’t consider those Forrest men on an equal footing with the Lion Knights or Black Falcons, unlike Cedric of the Bull Knights and that Vladek those Forrest men and the later Wolf Pack weren’t invited to any knightly duels; They were standard grinning forest dwelling outsiders, they even imprisoned one of the kings men, so even though I'm siding with them I voted neutral.
This link from a 1988 German Lego Catalogue shows the position I think those Forrest men occupy in the Lego Castle world; http://www.peeron.com/catalogs/1988/medium/5/

Well then, if you think of Robin Hood being good, then what are the knights and the king? - bad? they are opposed. And Robin Hood is an outlaw so... Taking money from the rich and redistributing it would be the only thing that makes him seem any good; but anyways nice thought.kelderic wrote:I voted good, because I noramlly think f Robin Hood when I play with them.

Good point Chrislad77 on them all not really being bad; that is more how I look at it because - what is bad? Bad is only what you deem is bad. We say ists are bad, but they think they are good and believe the only way to salvation and to praise Allah, is to kill us westerners.
