I really like this idea. Is there any problem with limiting each character to one language? I don't see one. You have 15 characters, so can play 15 different languages if you so desire. It would simplify the workload for PD, and certainly make their cases cut and dry.

I like that idea too, considering it's MY idea.

More like disrespectful multilinguals who can't obey simple rules so a harsher rule must be, instead, put in effect to make things "balanced again".

When you take that mile, you lose the inch. That, my friend, is simple cause and effect. When one person shits in the pool, no one is allowed to go swimming.

And yes.... it was Yugo's "idea first"... or at least he posted first.

Well, how about forbidding roleplaying, too, while we're at it? Almost all CRBs are committed while roleplaying, so this would really cut the workload for PD and make the game much more fun to play for everyone. Who joins me?

Seriously though, it is to late for that kind of policy. LGs would have to be separated from the beginning. They are not. It would be uttery frustrating to have strangers run around all over the place and not be allowed to communicate with them. Besides, it would be absoutely unnatural to not try to learn at least some bit of the others language, if you are living in the same town for 20 years.
Pretty in pink.

Ban roleplaying! Actually, ban the playing also! Most CRB is commited by players: If we ban them all that will save a truckload of work for the PD.

True, every human interfering with the "society simulation" is nothing but a disruptive factor.
