&gt; -----Original Message-----

&gt; Subject: [MUD-Dev] Marian's Tailor vs. Psychopaths
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt;   I'd like to offer some discussion as to how to deal with 
&gt; part of the Marian's
&gt; Tailor problem: how does a tailor enjoy tailoring life 
&gt; without having to deal
&gt; with a disproportionate number of psychopathic characters?

[snip methods I agree with]

&gt; Some Caveats:
&gt; 
&gt; 1. Not all the fish will bite at this opportunity.

[playing creatures other than human]

&gt;  The more 
&gt; clever psychos
&gt; will play humans to cause havoc.  But hopefully it will 
&gt; divert some borderline
&gt; psychos to constructive violent behavior.  !!!!  8')

Maybe. We haven't tried this one yet. We have given different venues
(free for all guild warfare, etc), but they are still humans. :)

&gt; 2. There is a great problem in totally safe cities as opposed 
&gt; to mostly safe
&gt; cities. 

UO went with mostly safe cities; you can be attacked only if you have
just committed a crime yourself, or if you are in a mutually declared
war.

&gt;  Of course, I haven't had a chance to implement any of this 
&gt; so it's all
&gt; conjecture at this point.  8')  Hopefully it can inspire some 
&gt; ideas if nothing
&gt; else.

Basically, these measures seem to be insufficient based on UO's
experience thus far. A big factor to consider: are the safe cities
enough for a tailor, or does the tailor want to see the whole of the
world?
