I don't think that how you feel about women holds much water on this
mailing list. Pardon the inflammatory nature of that comment but you
know me Mitch and you know it's not intended that way - it's simply an
observation.
I understand where you are coming from - I just don't agree that it's a
reason not to implement it in crossfire. While some people may have a
desire to make them more then fake some people also want to kill people
after playing violent video games. We could certainly have very deep
discussions about the level of responsibility of game makers to decide
if we are encouraging an activity in our game or not, but I think that's
a bit of overkill. I don't think marriage is a critical aspect of
crossfire and I wont be putting it at the top of my priority list. But
if someone wanted to implement it I don't have a problem with that. You
do, you've made your point and I've made mine - lets let some other
people make theirs.

When you look at porn you do have the desire to have
sex.
When you create "fake" personal relationships... there
is often the desire to make them not fake.
Do you want your wife "marrying" some random crossfire
player and developing a deep personal attachment to a
man who is not you?
Had I any wives, I would not want them talking to
other men and forging bonds with them (nor other
women, perhapse most of all).

At some point we have to draw the line and say
it's simply a game.
Games model certain aspects of real life (and if
marriage is one of them
so be it) and completely disregard other aspects
(when was the last time
you saw killed someone with a fireball?)
Precisely, so why bother coding something that is
a human response? If
people want to get married, let them do so by
announcing it to the local
town. Maybe on a bulletin board in the town hall,
as a suggestion. No
need to hard wire marriage into server code.
I think the reasons for coding it are to allow
things like a shared
apartment or possibly some of the other benefits
that were being
discussed. While I'm not necessarily in agreement
with the list of
potential bonuses being discussed I don't think one
of the reasons not
to work on it is because we might encourage
adultery.
Just my opinion,
