In this game, you can usually tell when a lock is a "formality". If you're treaspassing anyway, use your best judgement. Raplace the lock for safety reasons.

I got your tour winner right here pussies, at least he'd crash out trying.

Also in this game, when you get to the 10th level, the CHUD's get laser eyesight, and shoot raw sewege from their arms. I am at level 5 so far with 154 HP.

I stopped playing Dungeons and Dragons in 9th grade, which at this point is almost twenty years ago.

Why'd you do that? I'm at level 3 with a +2 Flaming Burst Scimiter and 91 HP.

Yeah, I never played it, seemed like a waste of time to me, but different people are into different things.

Back to lock ethics, I really like Freak's idea of if you cut the lock, to take it and get another one set with the same combo, it is just giving them a better secured area, is still as accesable for them, and you have the combo should you ever want to access the location again.

Wait. If you walk into a store and buy a lock with the same combo as the one you cut, why did you bother to cut it? I mean, how do you know the combo of the lock you're going to replace? Or did I mis-interpert what you were saying?

I was thinking the same thing at first, but couldnt you bring the old lock to a locksmith and have them figure out the combo for you? Dunno much about locks so im not sure.

you have to chop it apart and figure out what the code used to be.

I get it! Then you use a time machine and go back and open the lock with no hassle!

That's actually a really damn good idea. Diestructively dissect the lock, figuring out it's combination in the process, then hop in the Delorian and instead of cutting it open, just dial in the combo and live on in your own tangent of the space-time continuum. Now who's got the Mr. Fusion?...

Don't cut locks, it'll be too obvious
Lock picking is the best way to go, they won't check for metallic dust in the lock (produced from the friction of the picks against the pins and such) unless you do something really illegal.

Of course you'd open up a paradox, if you never cut the lock and figured out it's combo, you'd never be able to go back and open it with the combo. Of course there is the possibility that you would actually fall into a tangent timeline and actually be living in a different dimension altogether. It all makes one scratch his head.

Agreed. Tunnels can be disorienting enough, but timeline-shifting anomoly tangent-universe tunnels? makes my head spin.

So it's settled? No time-travel UE?

But just to be all inclusive, if anyone out there is from a seperate future and are now stuck in our plane of existence because you can't generate 1.21 jiga-watts, tell us what your opinion of time-shifting UE is like.

Just climb over the gate that the lock is locking. Or if its a door, find a window to hop through. And if there is no window, simply break the lock off. Kicking the door down is really expensive to undo, locks cost far less.

Sometimes it is possible to take the door off it's hinges using a screwdriver. There is also a type of door lock that is very easily unscrewed.

One of the best ways I've ever heard about, was one my friend discovered when snooping about an abandoned truck loading yard. He found a building with a lock on the door, so he climbed up onto the roof, removed some roof tiles and climbed through the hole. LOL. He went back out through the same hole, then replaced all the tiles.

I've not tried it, seems a bit dangerous to me, but that's the kind of mentality one needs to have.

Erm, no. What the hell are you going to do with the body? Just hide it? And unless there is only 1 guard, the one you've put to sleep will be missed.

And do you seriously think you are ever going to get a chance where you can sneak up behind the guard? These days, guards only walk about if they spot someone on the camera, or read a motion sensor report that looks out of place.

OK OK I'll admit I can't see any ethical reasons why you shouldn't chloroform a guard, I just don't see it as realistic.

Unless of course you are being sarcastic. In which case I've wasted some time typing this out...

Yep.
It's just interesting to see this huge insurgence of ethical/moral superiority in regards to the practice of a hobby that is inherently unethical...

But in retrospect, I'd be interested to see what people think.

Well I think that as far as the law goes, yes it is unethical, but really it doesn't hurt anyone in its purest form. (apart from in accidental situations)

I think the idea of having ethics within an unethical ideal is to keep it from becoming crooked and generally chaotic. Especially since UE's increased popularity in recent years.

Even the nazi's had things that they would and wouldn't do for the sake of keeping some kind of order...
