[QUOTE="Dr.Dan, post: 1106140, member: 10142"] [CENTER][B]A serious question for the serious gamer:[/B][/CENTER] Lets say that you are a dwarf living in human lands and you’ve been charged by your local human noble with exploring a nearby ruin and returning with treasure to fill his coffers. (The lord will be giving you a portion of the spoils as compensation. His alternative source of revenue is higher taxes, which nobody wants.) Lets also assume that the ruins in question are of significant cultural value to you and your kind, and that they are generally considered to be a grave sight by your people. Your lord has been generous enough to decree that the expedition will be lead by dwarves, but if you refuse to go he’ll just send someone else. The ‘grave’ will be robbed one way or another. Given that the expedition is going to take place regardless of your participation, you decide that it is best to accept the position of expedition leader and establish rules of conduct for your fellow explorers, so as not to totally despoil the sight while still fulfilling the wishes of your lord. The question is, what conduct is deemed unacceptable while tomb robbing? What ought to be allowed, and what ought to be taboo? The insight of serious gamers would be deeply appreciated here. [/QUOTE]
