Re: [s-d] [s-b] Proposal: Crime and Punishment

["Jamie Dallaire" <bad.leprechaun@xxxxxxxxx>]

:-D Uh-oh now it's bad to kill people. Interesting. I think what's missing
in this proposal is to a) define what a fine is, i.e. something like the
macks are automatically deducted from that player, and b) specify what
happens to a player who is fined and does not have enough macks to pay up...
point deduction similar to what can now happen with device auctions? what if
not enough points for conversion either...
