no no traitering you job is to think of the best possible way to defend the bunker and try your best to defend it.
i should probably have mentioned in the op that this is a non serious game you can go over the top if you want
REVEAL THAT I AM A TRAITOR, KILL EVERYONE
Decent formatting and typo correction will do a helluva lot more good towards attracting players than any amount of time-zone finagling.
Anyhow, I suppose that I'll give it a shot.

I feel like that would cause issues when facing any Dwarf invaders from Goblin civs. Probably a little counterproductive to have your military go about de-limbing your enemy if they are going to "poof" into offspring and punch your legendary Axedwarf's skull through his brain before even hitting the ground.the main false fact i can think of in my life is i used to think Godzilla was in the public domain that joke in the austin powers movie (i cant remember which one) confused the hell out of meI would prefer dwarves reproducing like earthworms: you cut a dwarf in two, now you got two dwarves.
CORRECTION:only a few species of worms reproduce upon being brutally cut into two
Most can survive if cut along the segment lines though, right? Or do I have to take another random fact off the list of things we learn when we are five.
What? Medieval Europe had juries, as did ancient Greek and Roman courts. No society in the middle ages worked like a typical lawless MMO. "fantasy spaces" are definitely as compatible with jury law as they are with crossbows. The English jury of 12 men evolved from Danish Viking law.i wasent objecting to the game having a legal system just the jury besides because its always been done that way is a pretty silly reason to do something but on the subject of the game i guess its really the only way to involve the players in the legal process
Think about it if you want your MMO to be more than "Random barbarians roaming around" there needs to be some structure and semblance of laws. If you want player-driven courts that's either a chosen magistrate or juries. I'd say the lack of any law-keeping is actually more immersion breaking for a fantasy world than anything else. What fantasy book series or medieval society worked like an MMO? None do ...
"wild wild west: the fantasy MMO" has been done (basically every MMO). And it's really unlrealistic that every MMO is basically either a completely lawless free-for-all or it's hard-coded that you can't fight in towns.
If you steal something, clues can be left at the scene, the same with murder. It can't be used for random griefing because the crime clues and investigation are actual game mechanics, not "he said, she said" stuff.it seems a bit silly to me why would you want to bring the horrible idea that is the jury system into your fantasy spaces are they trying to encourage goverments to keep the system or something
So you cannot just randomly accuse people of crimes, there need to be actual game crime markers you pick up. And the jurors are randomly called up anyway, so no-one can just magically force a sentence on someone.
