A Fate Worse Than Death

Since the Stocking up on Tears Update, their have been multiple people that feel inheriting a percentage of the late character's biles and skill has made Salem need a harsher death penalty. One of the original things that brought me too Salem was the Perma Death system.

The new skill Eye for an Eye seemed like a really clever new way for me to interact with players I don't like in Salem. After thinking of other ways players could set their enemy's characters back, I think removing their ability to inherit a percentage of their dead character's bile/skill would pair well with hindering them by removing their right hand.

I purpose a "The Sun Also Rises" Skill where we can remove our enemy's reproductive organs, thus making it so they have no heirs to inherit the pilgrim's wealth.
Here are some quotes from Ernest Hemingway's novel, The Sun Also Rises. I feel these would be great quotes to add to the skill's description.

"it was a rotten way to be wounded"

"You, a foreigner, an Englishman" (any foreigner was an Englishman) "have given more than your life."

"It’s no life being a steer" (a Steer is a castrated bull)

So This was just a thought I had for a skill
I'm sure many people will disagree, but I wanted to make this tread to share my Idea.
take care.

And of course, we need to get trophies for this action. ¦]

Are you under the impression that females can reproduce without their reproductive organs?

i think he is saying, for you to remove them from a woman, death is nigh inevitable in those days!

Even today such an operation is invasive and quite dangerous.

Yeah I suppose, but taking several swords to the chest, a halberd to the face, or getting mauled by a bear would have killed most people too. Salem is a game where you can punch out bears or get mauled with in an inch of your life by a giant beaver and be fine after applying a tourniquet and eating a pile of pies so surviving violent mutilation does not seem that far fetched.

Everyone knows that females don't play this game ¦]
Obviously every player with a female character is really a man.
