Take an example, You kill something, what are you?? Evil.. Okay, you can justify it by making it a crusade, that still doesn't change the fact that you're evil. IF! you were to be good, then as I see it you would never kill anything. But merely help people. Killing is an evil act. Of course there's also something that goes away from this : Mercy-Killing, the person is suffering beyond any help, and therefore you have to put the person to sleep. (*eek* This is beginning to sound moralizing.. *ydrk*) Well, To make this letter still be in the thread :)) I saw this on a mud once, never thought about imping it, but I like the idea anyway. Story goes, when you die, you *DIE* no coming back. Just like in real life. This of course means that the mud will be terribly hard, and that might be the reason why they set the levels down to 10. /T-Rex +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | | Or send 'info circle' to majordomo@cspo.queensu.ca | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
