But what if real life moral codes came to the understanding long ago that things 
like murder and thievery _do_ result in a crippling of opportunities for 
interaction with each other?

Perhaps a game system doesn't have to entirely prevent such actions, however.  
Maybe it would be enough to simply ensure that they were not expedient.
