Well, in this case, imprisonment is considered as a game balance issue, rather than one that is related to an external set of 'rules' (or lack thereof). Nonetheless, I am inclined to think that a more workable implementation would be to introduce the aztec system of punishment for theft, that a thief should repay twice what they stole. This raises issues concerning /which/ price is used to determine that, but it would at least allow thieving to be something that could be penalised immediately, without having a would-be thief spending more time in prison than not. In the case of someone who couldn't pay, then of course locking them up seems a suitably unreasonable approach :) _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
