This keeps things from getting too complicated and further reduces the math load on our poor brains. Touche, mon ami! http://radiationsings.com/home/?p=957

Progress in the game depends heavily on adhering to a personal (and in many cases, self-created) honor code , though not one usually based on a simple good/evil or wrong/right dichotomy, and on resisting the Necrodream, representing complacency, laziness and apathy .
