The real problem with MMOs is there are rats and sheep.

The sheep are harmless and need to cared for and will blindly follow a leader - the problem is they end up following sociopaths like Mao ( china numba one ! - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democide )

The rats / cockroaches RCs - are sociopaths that look for other RCs and a leader that is evil like themselves

when were most deaths during black plague and why?
Reasoned about Black Plague death timeline for a few seconds
Most deaths during the Black Death occurred in Europe during the initial outbreak between 1348 and 1349. This period saw an unprecedented surge in mortality because the plague, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, spread extremely rapidly through unsanitary, overcrowded conditions, and a population with little knowledge or means to combat such a virulent disease. The combination of these factors led to a catastrophic loss of life, with estimates suggesting that 30% to 60% of Europe's population perished during this period.

around 1348 what was the opinion of cats?

Reasoned about medieval views on cats for 5 seconds
During the mid‑14th century, European views on cats were mixed and varied by region. On one hand, cats were often valued for their ability to control rodent populations—which was particularly important as rodents were later understood (though not at the time) to be linked to the spread of the plague. On the other hand, superstitious and religious beliefs sometimes cast cats, especially black ones, in a negative light. They were occasionally associated with witchcraft or seen as omens of evil.

So, around 1348, while many people recognized cats as useful companions in keeping pests at bay, a significant portion of the population also held suspicions of them due to prevailing superstitions. This ambivalence sometimes led to instances of cat persecution in certain areas, though the extent and impact of such actions remain debated among historians.

^ ahh even back then:

hey Sergeant slate, why did you pull me over? cuz I'm black !
