I am wishing that the author will portray Cronus as more of a pragmatic villain like Magneto,Doom or Loki, who are willing to do some despicable things for greater good.The classical representation of Cronus would be just too much cliché.

I don’t think he’s completely the villain. It most likely just depends on which side you’ll fight for. Of course, if you’re on Team Zeus and Co., then Cronus must be the villain then. IIRC @Rohie said sth along the lines of a possibility of joining Cronus or even betraying all the gods. My memory could be hazy though. There’s just so much posts in this thread!

Really there is going to be a Cronus path? That sounds interesting, I was actually thinking of requesting the author for something like that a while ago.
How about Saxon would have killed us, yes it’s that simple. Particularly when counting meta knowledge as we know he couldn’t be reasoned with.

We had the weapon, he was unarmed on the ground and would not have harmed us further.
Do people usually reason with their attacker with dumpster lifting strength?
You both had this discussion before.

I’m pretty sure we’ve discussed everything about this game since we haven’t had an update in a while

Yeah, after he just tried to kill us, we got lucky. In real life this is the situation where quite a few people do see red for real, particularly if they haven’t been trained as a soldier or warrior for most of their lives, hell even police officers sometimes legitimately panic, as the US has seen on numerous occasions. Controlled killing has more to do with training, it is why bootcamp, particularly for elite army units tears down before building you back up and even that is not always foolproof but it does seem to help a great deal. So here’s the deal Saxon, many police officers and most soldiers have been trained to kill, from a very early age in case of Saxon and the rest of the demigods while our mc hasn’t.
Therefore I can see a great many of our teenage mc’s carrying the fight to its logical conclusion even after Saxon is down.
Second point and speaking of logical conclusions even if your mc is cool and level-headed in these sorts of situations “terminating” Saxon may still be the logical choice, cause who are we going to hand him over to? The normal authorities who cannot contain mystical assailants? This is similar to if an incident happens in a place where you really don’t trust what passes for the local “law” or where there simply is none, such as highly corrupt countries and warlord infested war-zones. Then it’s the law of the jungle and Saxon just lost, too bad for him, eh?

Discussing the legality of Saxons murder is a moot point, since it comes down to what can be proven and in my country at least self-defense is not a black and white issue. It all comes down to what can be expected of the average person (it has some fancy legal term I can’t remember) and how reasonable it is for the defendant to feel threatened on their life in the situation. Which is difficult to prove.
And all of it is moot, because it is going to be a sham trial anyway.
Instead I think we should discuss if we think it is morally self-defense. I think so. The MC has good reason to think that these hunters are out to kill them and no one to turn to for help and protection.
I also wonder. How many of you have MC who was thinking clearly in the moment? Mine didn’t. If she had she would never had spared him.

He only pulled a knife on us after we hit him and ran, and we all have super strength… Plus we didn’t know what the seekers were back then; discussing experience has no bearing on the situation.
Especially considering Washington should have jurisdiction.
My line of thought: “Better take him out so he doesn’t become a nuisance later or tell his buddies about me”

My MC enjoys killing to a degree. It fills a void for her though she can see that it is morally wrong. She will do it when she knows she can get away with it. I’m going for a very dark character who really enjoyed her life alone and takes pride in the fact that she did what she had to to survive.

I’m not sure what you mean by thinking clearly but I have one MC who chose to kill Saxon and another one who didn’t.
The one who didn’t kill did so because she was too afraid (flight instinct stronger than fight) and the moment she saw that she was in the clear – that she could run – she would take that. Even if she was more mentally ready to kill in self defense – I mean she’s only a teen, granted a teen who’s been through a lot but still a kid – idk if she would be able to bring herself to. The aftermath though is something that haunts her like when Saxon called her “weak” it definitely struck a chord.
The one who killed Saxon did so because she felt like she had no choice. All the paranoia (especially after Benji and Aunt Alice) has made her believe that this group after her aren't the kind to just let her go. So the only way she can assure her safety is if she killed him -- I mean, at the rate they were fighting, she definitely felt like he was going for her life too.

Either case with the two, they both have nightmares and are struggling with being a survivor of a series of highly traumatic events :p
I just want them to go to therapy and for them to be happy with a good home and ugh :((

Well the killing doesn’t seem the best option from any point of view.If your MC is a pragmatic one then they knows that the seekers are merely puppets, not the actual threat.It would be best for them to interrogate/torture him for information.
And if they are idealists then

Yep, but guess what in the real world adults without the proper documentation don’t get that, they get to be homeless vagrants, for the most part. 
I agree with you that my mc sorely needs some therapy, he won’t get it though, not in the real world and certainly not on Olympus.

So I killed Saxon and had Wit as my highest stat but got Poseidon as my father. This has probably been commented on hundreds of times and mine will more than likely disregarded but I just wanted ti throw it out there.
That stupid internet meme, isn’t “witty” at all, like in any profession there are bad therapists and of all fields of medicine psychology has possibly had the worst history, but I’ve seen far too many people, victims perpetrators, even some of my ordinary friends benefit tremendously from the right sort of therapy and counseling to dismiss it outright.
It is certainly the real-life opinion of our Liberal and Conservative parties when it comes to health insurance though and that of course impacts real lives, including mine when the Liberals and new left gutted that sort of coverage in our lower end plans in the early nineties, so thanks again Liberals! 
I sure as hell wish we could have afforded the right kind of therapist or psychiatrist for me when I was younger, it would almost certainly have helped me, if only to refute the free clinic and er doctors harmful presumption that what turned out to be my undiagnosed celiac’s was all either “in my head”, irritable bowel syndrome or hypochondriac behaviour.

The author knows, love.
I believe this bug will be fixed in the next update.
Surprised you missed all the answers to those bug reports tho.

I’m fairly certain the joke in that meme is that the opinion of the character is uninformed rather than the opposite.
