Right, Kawaii, you go trying to prove that someone
didn't die when the plane's scattered across a mile of
mountains and tissue that's an exact DNA match for
their's (clonal) is found in the wreckage. ;)
Anyway...
> > Personally, while my characters are not morally
against killing people to achieve their ends, it is
just bad business. The easier way is just to find a
squatter of your metatype, hire a good dentist,
plastic surgeon, and blow him away in your favorite
uniform. :)
Right, and if someone is keen to make sure you're
really dead and can do DNA matching or ritual
tracking?
Never mind - this belongs in that OTHER discussion.
> Man your a prick, but a smart one :) My entire
roll-playing buddies hate me because I tend to play
the guy that "hates killing".Man they get so pissed
off when I won't blow somebody away. I love to play a
moral character with these people because it's never
crossed their minds and it adds flavor and reality.
Plus what's the point? There's got to be hundreds of
ways to fake it, all without taking somebody with you.
It's all about style.

Hah. Style is taking 400 people with you - and not
really dying! :)
Anyway, seeing as you guys seem to intend to answer my
example, here's another one. Your target, a corp suit
whose wife wants him offed rather than having to go
through a messy divorce, has taken a hostage, Joe
Nobody. You're holding a Barrett sniper rifle with
depleted uranium ammo. You KNOW your round will go
right through both Joe and the target, but that the
chances of JUST killing the target are next to
nil...but if you DON'T take the shot, he'll get away.
Do you shoot?
What if your target is a terrorist with a bomb that'll
wipe out half the city if you don't kill him? What if
the hostage is a kid? What if they're a teammate, or
your mother, or your sister, or your lover? What if
they're your greatest rival? What if it's Kyle
Haeffner - good ol' Pres?
