Sure when you have your D&D session the rogue can do something naughty and the requirements are complete. But to do it time after time, you have to be rotten on the inside.

The first person who knew how the list worked and still took the beads and didn't report it was a scumbag, and so was every single person who followed until that one guy who gave it all up. An opportunistic scumbag on the inside, the real person. You can talk about mechanics and lists and what Brad intended or what the coding issues are but in the end I don't want to play with scumbags. People who game the system to screw others for their own benefit, using weak-ass mechanics or intended excuses are just that and I'm glad to know most people feel the same way.

Oh I understand the humor and the deviousness of it, a part of me appreciates it, like if the movie had a good plot. But those people were dirty. Defend them and be as dirty as they are.
Judgment on character alone is poor judgment.

That is not Man's place. 💯
