Because she just can't leave well enough alone.
So, now that things have calmed down.
I'm curious and figured I'd throw this out into the ether and see what comes back.
What's our stance on past crimes around here? I mean I know there's a jail to house people who commit crimes now that we're all residents of this insane little world, but what about the lives we led before we came here?
I've never been shy about admitting my criminal past. And the memory leak glitches kind of lay it all out there for the world to see. There are plenty of people here who have done horrible, terrible things in their own worlds.
So what do we do about it? Go after each of them and make them pay for the crimes they committed back home? How far do we take it? After all we're supposed to protect this world so does that put us in charge of deciding right and wrong?
Are we effectively the judge, and jury?
Is simply apologizing and acting sorry or guilty about whatever you did enough to be forgiven for it?
Or do we risk giving everyone a clean slate when they arrive? that could be dangerous but it would also be very equalizing.
Seeing as I spent most of the last five years of my life studying crime I couldn't help but wonder about these things.
