Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Official Ranter" data-source="post: 2558627">I think this is the main problem people have with such issues as these.Sure, Juxta and Oerth are fantasy settings, but just because odd things can happen, does that mean that all realism should be tossed aside?Yes, Juxta is supposed to be a place of law and order, but the people who ensure that law and order are not gods!  As Nugan said, crime does happen, even in the community of Juxta.  The big problem is, when the crime does happen, no one cares.  There's no realism in it.  People don't react one way or another, and I'm sorry but if you were out in town and you saw a crime happen you're going to react somehow!  The only exception I would ever see to this is if Juxta were supposed to be a place where crime was common place.  Where the people had seen it so much, that they just didn't bother anymore.You also have to think of this.  Juxta and Oerth are not all flowery pleasant happy. Examples::Oerth:  Crossroads is a tavern.  Even with the rules IC, it's still a tavern...things happen at taverns.  People get drunk and get into fist fights.  Somebody may try to hide from their enemy by blending in with the crowd.  Thieves thrive on places like taverns, where it's busy and they can steal money with little to no notice in the crowds.  The list goes on and on...Juxta:  It's a marketplace...again, thieves are gonna flock here like flies.  It *is* a portal to many realms, not excluding those where evil people dwell.  Thugs roam the marketplace just like thieves, sticking to allyways and thus possibly providing you with your beaten up character.Put it this way, even though it's fantasy, there's still a good bit of realism involved.  Now sure, if the setting of Juxta was a place where happiness and good times abound, then someone dropping in half dead would be pretty, for lack of a better word, stupid.  However, the Juxta that I've come to know and love, is quite the oppisite.  It's a place where the worlds come together and law holds presedence thanks to the Marshall's constant vigil against evil.And as I've said many times before...things would be a whole lot better around here if we would remember...it's not all about you or me or the individual.  It's about all of us coming together for a common reason to have fun.Yours Truly,The Official Ranter of Wizards.COMmunityP.S.  I'd really love to hear some WizO Input on this *shameless hint* <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
