Right. And inheritance should just be buried with people when they die instead of being passed on. Lets get back the the time of Pharaohs.

If you are gifted something by a player then you must of done something to earn it. Whether it was helping them in game, being a friend, loaning them stuff before, whatever. My $ and items are mine, and if I want to pass them on then that should be my option. No one should be able to tell me what I can't do with my $ or items.

Game Rules Wrote:Players who receive gifts from players who are quitting are subject to having the entire gift returned based on our "spirit of the game" rule (#3).

This is the big deal. Way back in the early history the game, there was a player named Casanova who wanted to give his entire (substantial) fortune to another player. Many others felt that this was giving said player an unfair advantage. While there are key differences between this and that situation, the question is whether going into an extended period of inactivity should be treated as quitting.

Whatever leniency I extended to you and your comrades before, may have been in error. If you persist in halting our course, we will burn your pathetic fleet down to the last man.

All rules are important and serve a logical purpose however they're not being enforced and it's reasonable to conclude that they won't be any penalty for violating rules regardless of which one(s) are violated.

Some things are better left unsaid...

Condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You slip one on when you meet a stranger. You dance all night... then you throw it away. The condom, I mean, not the stranger.

I hate to say this, but superdave is right. Nobody is watching. You can do whatever you want.

The crux of the biscuit is the apostrophe.
