Well if you employ lobyists to get the ability to take advantage written into the rules, then take advantage of those loopholes, then morally you're guilty, case closed. You may not have broken any written rules, but you've shown a disturbing lack of morals that should see you turfed out of polite society, thrown out with the barbarians and wolves beyond the village walls without the necessary supplies.

you may not have broken the rules, but it's nowhere in the rules that we should care about parasites either. can anyone think of any good reason why we should give a shit?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
