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.
