What is with all this crime?
No matter what town my characters spawn in or travel to, there is or has been some crime. There have been wars, and blood shed. Can't we all just get along. Um...wait a minute....That would make the game boring, now wouldn't it? Or am I alone on this one?

In any case, I'm not sure whether a hypothetical agreement to "get along" on Cantr wouldn't be sort of against the intent of the Capital Rule. Ideally, our characters should base their judgements solely on their perspective, and not what their players think OOC, though granted, this is not always feasible.

well if the game is simulating real life, and if people in real life don't get along, then that shows that there will be diversity in the game and that people will not always get along in the game.. it's a fact of business and can't be stopped..

No... no... I mean yes, I can see crime, but basing it on mimicing reality isn't correct. This is supposed to be a society sim, with certain "laws of the physics of social interaction inegrated) but not just play-acted in because it happens to be a certain way in reality. Many aspects of real life may appear, but you don't just say, well this how it is in RL so we have to make it so in Cantr... (except with respect to the actual neccesities of interaction) I mean the potential for crime and violence is there, but you really have to base it on your characters, not just making it so because it happens to be that way IRL.
Of course this is the ideal, I mean who are you going to base your characters on? RL to some degree obviously.
It really is more than just a question of semantics, I promise.
