I'm aware I'm in the wrong on the gameplay mechanics. I've spent the last couple days gumming through it, after all. However, my issue was why (and on some personal jabs). My apologies if I got a bit heated before, but there's no need to escalate.

1. Gameplay/Story Seg does not exist in-universe, and that's why there's usually an effort to par it down as much as possible.

2. I'd agree. That's what I said just prior. However, the comparison was close enough to convey my point, particularly since while usually it is dependent on willful action there are some methods that are least toe the line. Taking advantage of people in suggestible states comes to mind (like those who are legitimately disabled), as is putting them in such a state particularly due to lovely things like extreme peer pressure or intimidation, or giving mind altering substances. All of which are sadly, sadly common for indoctrination.

That's why I said that they aren't the same thing, but under *some* certain circumstances (emphasis on some) the comparison is close enough to fit the bill. I'm not saying that Weepers could be cured as easily as a lot of suicide attackers were since their problem isn't entirely mental, just that their actions are close enough to be comparable if nothing else.

Sorry, but I trust the testimony of a trained, veteran nurse on the matter, since she's a lot more experienced and knowledgeable than I am.

3. They're not that difficult to differentiate after death, but the point about the corpses stands. However, so does the fact that they'd lead to at least a small decrease in the local plague, which'd at least counterbalance that.

Thank you for the counter, but let's keep this "professional", no need to get riled up or defensive (and I apologize that I have been).
