As we know, people in FFO have long history of mechanics abuse. One of them is stepping into fires, and getting the person outlawed, resulting in carnage. Usually repeated deaths.

Now, how can we sort this? Here's my idea.

1: Make all fires started in the limits of a town an auto-outlaw.
-It can spread, and it stops you having to throw water on it because people want to be pricks. Also, see my later idea.

2: Make it impossible to start a fire on a tile occupied by a non-monster mob or PC
- See #3

3: Make stepping onto a fire not outlaw the person that started it.

I think that'll solve the problem with people being pricks and deliberately stepping on fires to get people outlawed. Thoughts?

Where the hell did this come from? We've already concluded people are responsible for their own fires. I never get outlawed because I put my fires out. Carry a water bucket or learn one of the THREE spells to put fires out.

We finished this before. Don't start fires irresponsibly. It just makes sense and in a way balances out the elements by making the generally considered more useful elements also more dangerous for the user as well.

I'm talking specifically about torch fires.

Torch fires aren't accidental. I complained about magic fires being started incidentally but people told me I was "**** outta luck" even if icing it while the guy was in it meant I'd kill him anyways.
