Asolutely JCL!
Thing is, when I see these arguments they are always (and I DO mean always)
from people who are not playing the setting at all. Generally, with
players who are competant enough role players to truely play the setting
these issues just never come up. They are constructive players who do not
cause problems.

I assume you have seen the Blooper reel that has that one from the episode
they did that was based on Puppetmasters ;)
Simialrly, if your entire concept is a HIghlander game, some people WILL be
getting their heads cut off at regualr intervals. Neither of these really
invalidates what Iw as tryign to say though, maybe i just was not clear.
