Shiato, its that sort of attitude that causes people who can be considered "geeks" to become unhappy and introverted. They dont need a life, because they have 1,they enjoy what they do, what they need is people not to be so judging because someones medium of enjoyment is a computer and not a boat/bike/field and a ball.

Badly worded reply by me there
No worries, was only joking.
No, not for trying to steal from me, not in of itself anyway. There are numerous factors. Betrayal would almost always warrant death, because, to me, it's the worst crime their is.
There are also numerous factors with regard to "me getting away with it". If someone tried to take something of mine from me, by force, on my own property, and I used lethal force to stop them, it would almost certainly be deemed justifiable homicide, and I would not be punished. Every situation is different though.
Do you think that you would be on the moral high ground if you were to take someone's life in return for them betraying you? Nothing warrants death, nothing at all. Except purposefully causing death, but that's my opinion and other's don't believe in capital punishment.
Well, you do live in the USA!
How can any homicide (or murder for us Brits) be deemed justifiable, unless of course it's self defense, but then it wouldn't be called murder, would it?
Morals are relative. Our opinions on what is right and just are clearly different.
Murder is always homicide, but homicide is not always murder. Homicide is the broad category of ending the life of another person.Well, you do live in the USA!
How can any homicide (or murder for us Brits) be deemed justifiable, unless of course it's self defense, but then it wouldn't be called murder, would it?
In the US when you kill someone in self defense, in defense of your home, or defense of your family, it's justifiable homicide. When a soldier or a police officer legally kills someone in the course of his or her job, it is justifiable homicide.
You're certainly right there. I couldn't, and wouldn't, be able to take someone elses life except in extreme cases of self defense, or it was undeniably proved that he had taken someone else's life on purpose and without reason.
Hmm, maybe it's an American thing then, because to me, homicide and murder are the same thing, and I wouldn't call a policeman or soldier a murderer for protecting themselves, colleagues, civilians or their country in the line of duty.
actually, the bloke who's sword it was, lent it to the dead chap, who then sold it for money. And the first chap got a little peeved at him and stabbed him...
That's just it I think. I'm sure people living in the US have much different opinions to this than Brits. I'm also sure the laws are more relaxed over there. In Britain, I really don't think you'd be allowed to kill someone (even though they've said they relaxed the laws). There was the case of Tony Martin some years ago (mentioned many times on these boards).
Imagine what he'd have done if it was a +3 Sword..
A +3 what? Attack Power? Strength? Agility? Would make all the difference...
Thats just as bad. I expect, nay demand, that stuff I *lend* out be returned, not sold, barring any exceptional circumstances.
I'm sure they do, on average. However, my opinions are hardly those of the "typical" american, if such a thing can be said to exist.
I think that was a Dungeons and Dragons reference. If so, it would be +3 on chance to hit and +3 to damage.
I don't really see what the difference would be though, if it kills em, it kills em...
