I still disagree ... but I'm sure you'll just come up with yet another set of goalposts for what constitutes "dickishness".
I never moved any goal posts. Please re-read my posts. You keep straw manning me with your own words. Distilling someone's argument down to an unreasonable and silly sentence is not a valid counter-argument[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Let's approach this from a different angle. Why do we have rules and the play nice policy? The reason is simple, we as a community have agreed that certain behaviors are bad, exploiting bugs, etc. That is what we constitute as "dickish behavior".

If it isn't in the rules or the play nice policy, your opinion on what is "dickish" is just that, your opinion. Now, we could certainly find new things that we consider "dickish behavior", and add it to the rules or the play nice policy. But that is a decision made by the Dev's who work hard on this project, and the community who plays it. It is not dictated by single individuals and their opinions.

As of writing this post, I see nothing in any documentation suggesting playing the game normally by waking the Sleeper is a bad thing. In "Classic Everquest" (which P99 is trying to emulate), Sleeper is awoken once, and that's it. If you honestly believe the entire P99 community can resist waking the Sleeper just because of your opinion, you are sorely mistaken. It is not a "dick move" to acknowledge reality, which can be backed up by the Sleeper being awoken on Blue.
