You are, in fact, allowed to hate both the player and the game. It is long established that "just following orders" is not a defense.

I'm not saying it should be, but I am saying we should prioritize the people giving the orders

  • > we should prioritize the people giving the orders

    We should. I don’t see an easy way to do that.

    I do think there is a straightforward case to be brought against the bookers. So I’m saying start there and then idk have them co-operate against the company.

  • Nah fuck them both. They went in an left apartments in disarray and didn't give a fuck. That's just basic human decency, regardless of whether or not your boss is a prick too.

I don’t know if the concept of the Nuremberg defense is really applicable to, you know, basic property damage.

  • I don't understand the alternative, that it would be legal to break the law as long as it were a petty crime and you were being paid to do it? It's a principle, it applies broadly. We tend to think about it in terms of the most dramatic and memorable example but that's neither here nor there.

  • Really?

    You might want to ask most contractors, or contract lawyers, about that.

    "I was just following orders" for basic property damage typically doesn't hold up in court for them either.
