Overheard On The Station (And Elsewhere)

[Mordent]

The worst part of this isnt the "who is captain" bit. Its the fact that law 5 says law 5 doesnt exist.
So therefore law 5 doesnt exist.
Which means that law 5 does exist
Which means law 5 doesnt exist.

At this point I guess its up to the player how to deal with a paradox, but I'd probably scream bloody murder and start acting as insane as I could.

In a paradox scenario I default to "as close to the default lawset as possible", because I err on the side of caution. In this case, any attempt to parse Law 5 results in it not existing. As such, the only sensible way to behave is as if it doesn't exist. If I was feeling proactive I'd have noted about being stuck in a processing loop or something, but Roman had just killswitched me so I wasn't feeling overly cooperative.

Also, Wraith, the order of laws is entirely irrelevant. People need to stop pretending it is.
