What with the Factotum movie coming out it seemed a good time to update this here entry. Here is a good link. http://www.planewalker.com/encyclopedia/index.php?startsWith=F Mathiastck 11:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"have the right to own what they control and to take what they can from those who are unable to keep it [...] and that it is their right to exploit any situation to their advantage, regardless of how it affects anyone else [...]They are derived from real-life Social Darwinists and the philosophies of Ayn Rand." - I'm no randist, but this isn't right. Is this from some source or just some editor's opinion?

If it's not from a source, it should be removed. 204.153.84.10 (talk) 17:49, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually the faction philosophy which is somewhat oversimplified here. The Fated really do believe in selfishness - as in "taking care of one's own interests". They also view charity as corrupting and inefficient. They do, however, disagree how to apply this philosophy. The official faction line rejects crime and tries to promote honest work (though, of course, some members view it as weakness). Gantolandon (talk) 21:10, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
