Thank you for this post. I agree and think it turns fortress from a cabal about doing things into a cabal about NOT doing a specific thing - which is really NOT fun. Sort of like if Outlander got uninducted if they ever touched coins; this would take not using coins from a core part of the cabal to an unplayable burden.

The fact that some notable chars have accomplished this does not in my view make it appropriate to impose on everyone. Those chars should be recognized (for being lucky that a blade didn’t grief them really) but others shouldn’t be forced down this Eeyore rp path, and the cabal as a whole should be focused more broadly than just on not murdering good aura city guards that are protecting orcs.
