So then as a rule anything you do kills you?

It is.... :  rules.

Having watched all 3 seasons of Star Trek:TOS, I'm not convinced that what makes us human is rules.  If Captain James Tiberius Kirk has taught us anything it's that to win you have to break the rules (Kobayashi Maru).


It's going to be fun to see what happens as the lawful interact more with the chaotic as the game moves forward :)


Whatever Captain Kirk taught you ...  Big smile
Nothing against breaking rules, otherwise there would be no development. Rules are the results of a steady negotiation process and decisions. So what is "that ominous rule"?
In pluralistic world as in Illyriad are as many rules as humans. But: there are certain common agreements. In RL and in Illyriad as well, which can't be that virtual and unreal as real persons play it.
What are those common agreements (which changed a lot since server start, I guess)?. In most cases they are helpful (in my point of view). To make Elgea a nice place to build settlements and cultivate contacts. A nice place that can be left overnight to find it intact (at least in most cases) the other morning.
Sometimes these unwritten rules prevent a minorities gameplay, which wasn't able to enforce their rules or maybe lawlessness. Why? As the majority wants it like that!
Ok, you could counter now: "sh*t is delicious. A billion flies can't be wrong."
And you may be right: Not always majority is right in that, what they do or want.
But: as rules always change in the long run (in Elgea and in RL), the base or condition for rules stays: every action has a reaction.
In other words. Do what you want. But don't cry, if the echo hurts....

There was no rule about it not being a movie!

/me pulls up "Trade Movement" in anticipation of incoming shipments :b

Of course there was ... I specifically asked for someone to point me to an actual game with no rules, not an abstract title aimed to create suspense to an audience. Wink

I can currently hold 70,000 in "Pepperidge" and 2000 in "Chester's Field."  I very much look forward to getting your first shipments!
