[crossfire] Love and marriage, love and marriage...

[Joshua Wilson]

I don't think that how you feel about women holds much water on this 
mailing list.  Pardon the inflammatory nature of that comment but you 
know me Mitch and you know it's not intended that way - it's simply an 
observation.

I understand where you are coming from - I just don't agree that it's a 
reason not to implement it in crossfire.  While some people may have a 
desire to make them more then fake some people also want to kill people 
after playing violent video games.  We could certainly have very deep 
discussions about the level of responsibility of game makers to decide 
if we are encouraging an activity in our game or not, but I think that's 
a bit of overkill.  I don't think marriage is a critical aspect of 
crossfire and I wont be putting it at the top of my priority list.  But 
if someone wanted to implement it I don't have a problem with that.  You 
do, you've made your point and I've made mine - lets let some other 
people make theirs.
