Actually "Dungeons of Vice" would be a more accurate phrase - "Vicious Dungeons" would be equally correct, although it just doesn't quite work. The problem is both "vice" and "sin" have a more religious connotation than is really necessary, and we kinda don't want to go there.
What?

I'm fairly religious, and I have to say I think I might have been offended at the prospect of you offensibly not offending me. Erm, unless that would offend you.

I mean to say, I would, inoffensibly take offense...

If a man, in shame, should despise deceit so much that he dastardly covet all his lost virtues and wrongfully shame himself, surely it is hythloth.

The above are obviously not sins, vice is an excellent term for them, I say let the old UO lore stand and allow people some food for mental gestation.

Its a pity we have to water the concept of good and evil down to the point that we get infected by it. Ie its a disease that has a cure.

I like the whole concept of the choice that Andrew confronts us with and I am eager to see what repercussions the action of each individual's choice has.

Well, consider the environment we are in.

I used the fairly common term "God damn" in a post on Stratics once. All conversation about the actual topic ceased, and a brief and bitter discussion was had about whether or not my use of that common term was offensive.

My post was quietly deleted.

That is the environment J.'s playing in, only it's arguably worse for her, because she's actually on the team. And is she pisses off one customer, she's pissed off 25 of them.

So I can understand their consideration of that angle.
