Isn't it just amazing what players will do sometimes? :) Of course
I've caused some havoc myself when playing, by turning to a fellow PC
when we were being harassed by the police and saying, "You want me to
kill this guy?"

BTW, Ferri, could you please format your posts to 80 columns or less in
width?
