But hey, that's what they were fighting for!
To keep this thread on point Mr. Procne brings up many interesting topics for being a Wanted Criminal.
- MM doesn't raid people unwilling to pay- Those who take the luxuries from their government (safety, lotterys, clear roads, enforced system of laws) and yet refuse to pay that governement are subject to have their property seized (raided). I'm pretty sure this applies in every form of modern government now.
- MM doesn't spawn sock puppets on forum and doesn't try to turn their griefing into acts of "justice" - To my knowledge there have been (2) sockpuppets. The rest have been real people with real accounts who get labled as such for using some common sense.
- MM doesn't try to force monopoly on stalls but allows free market- And are you allowed to transport high end technology out of your country to developing nations? How about blueprints to uranium production? Can you obtain financing on property for more than what it appraises for? Can you even "gift" a large sum of material wealth without paying a gift tax? Unfortunately, once again, every form of government imposes some form of regulation on free trade and open markets. The world would be Chaos if any person could transfer and launder any amount of goods through a stall to Raiders and Evil-Doers so our regulation of this mechanic is necessary for Justice.
- MM doesn't kill newbies for giggles- While MM may giggle DURING the killing. I can assure you that the killing itself occurs for incidents of justice. Do not get that confused. We have never killed a Treaty Payer. And anybody not paying the treaty is essentially stealing the luxuries the Treaty provides (safety on the server) from those who are funding it. Not all forms of larceny leave a scent.
