@Cosmic-Blast Oh, don't get me wrong, I would have definitely implemented such wording had I the opportunity. Unfortunately, the general environment is a mandatory "positive" one, and thus such wording is largely frowned upon. "Wasp Black/Orange" doesn't exactly supply me with a vision that people can grasp well.
            
            In other words, I just went to the next best thing.

@irohsteashop12 I think part of the confusion may have been spawned from my own indecision: In the place of those characters, I'm not sure what it is I would have done. Due to the nature of my mental thought process, I presume I would have carried out the exact same actions as the ones I detailed. But until I'm met with such a scenario, I cannot say, without doubt, what it is I would do.
            
            My greatest worry when writing "Peace, Glory, Empire" was making the "perfect" protagonist. Naturally I had to illustrate faults, which, with that time-frame and total page limit, was difficult to implement in such a way as they couldn't be taken as something I would promote (which I'm still neutral on, thus far).
            
            I'll certainly take the advice into consideration when I am writing, however.

@dragonscales7 It's also possible I could write a "post-P,G,E" work, so I suppose it depends on which idea is more popular.
            
            In the past, written with a new set of characters, a new plot, while retaining the old setting.
            
            Or in the future, with the old set of characters with the new plot building upon the old one.

@Synthetic_Legion  
            I think that's a really cool idea. It would lend "Peace, Glory, Empire" even more depth. It may also challenge the reader to think more deeply. One of the things I liked best about "Peace, Glory, Empire" was that you could not walk away neutral. Although I don't envy you the task of writing it, I think something from the opposite viewpoint would reinforce that immensely and give the controversy even more power. 
            
            A quick word of advise; Now that you mention the fact that evil on both sides was your point, it becomes obvious to me. I think the reason it was so hard to grasp before (and this may just be me) was because there wasn't really an acknowledgement in your story that the things that were evil were evil. Killing for pure revenge became ok. 
            
            In one sense, this put more force behind your writing. It ignited indignation in your reader, highlighting what was wrong so effectively and adding passion to fuel it. The flip side is that you're going to get a lot of pushback and misunderstandings and there is a danger that some will use this quality to excuse their own evil. 
            
            If your goal is more to make the theme prominent and avoid confusion, (and again, this is just my opinion) inserting something—even something very subtle—at the end of the story acknowledging the fact that just because both sides have evil doesn’t make the evil ok may fix the problem. It would illuminate confusion as to what evil is in the first place as well as provide you an opportunity to reveal the differences between real-world "good guys" and "bad guys." It would be hard to do and it may turn out to be a terrible idea, but those are my thoughts. If you don't like 'em, trash 'em. 
            
            I definitely think you should write a prequel, though! 
            
            Best of luck on your quest,
            -Allie

@Synthetic_Legion if i say something slightly negative i try to have two more positive things.

@Synthetic_Legion Don't worry i can do these critiques well.

@Cosmic-Blast You may want to do it outside of Class, however. I'm not sure if Mrs. Saadati would appreciate us going somewhere she might not consider "positive" feedback ^_^
