Superfluous Crow

January 04, 2009, 07:10:04 AM Last Edit: December 31, 1969, 07:00:00 PM by Elemental_Elf
I've been trying to come up with various things that have been or are considered wrong (so i can twist them into some shape for my setting), so as an inspirational resource / research-based forum game i have started the ultimate list of sin.

Basically, we list bad things to do. Preferably somewhat general things so this doesn't get clogged with very abstract ideas of wrongness that are wrong in more than one way.

Let's get rid of the easy ones at first:

1) Killing
2) Stealing
3) Lying

And some slightly more obscure ones to start the list:

4) Cannibalism
5) Treason
6) Vigilanteism

Hope you'll join in; I'm pretty sure this list isn't without its uses.

Well, one can always look to the "7 Deadly Sins" for good ideas on what to do...I mean what not to do.

Lust
Gluttony
Greed
Sloth
Wrath
Envy
Pride

(of course, some of these have already been mentioned)

I'd probably also add:
Slavery
Arson
Scamming

These can only be considered "sins" if those in the authoritative state are considered to have been appointed by a divine entity.

For finite types, like human beings, getting the mind around the concept of infinity is tough going.  Apparently, the same is true for cows.

The "in some cultures" part must either go ahead of every sin, or none of them (it should be a given).

What a screwed up land that would be! "All Hail Ben Bernanke, Lord Overseer of the Holy Economy for he is the Rock on which our Economic Stimulus was Founded! So sayeth we all!"  

Yeah, not the state for this Elf. :)
