The problem, of course, is finding people who want to be guards. Being
a guard is really, really dull work - up to the point where you're isolated
and
hacked apart by a marauding band of PKers. If I ever saw someone
volunteer to be a guard, I'd suspect he was corrupt, and planning on
giving the town keys to the aforementioned marauding band of PKers
as soon as the latency would let him.
So, given that, anyone got any ideas on how do we make being a
guard fun for a PC?
