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

[JumpCrisscross]

> 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.

[maxbond]

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.
