Re: AI on AI Action

Just because a player can do something within the rules, it doesn't stop any consequences for it IC. Every admin would rule permabrigging for building an unauthorised AI as an IC issue. It's the most IC issue of all IC issues. Naturally I eagerly await the one ticket or admin interaction where this ...

Re: AI on AI Action

It is and/or can be treated like one.

Nobody really cares in the end once the deed is done. No player ever got noted for permabrigging someone that made an AI without permission.

It's just not in space law because space law is more of an RP tool than an exhaustive list of all crimes ever.
