Hmmm. I thought narf "got it". As far as I can tell, there are no real pimps in the card game. There seems to be a game role called a "pimp", but AFAIK there is no real prostitution in the game (if there were, then the player would risk arrest...a REAL arrest).

>> Space Empires doesn't turn the murder of planetary populations into a joke

Of course not. There is no murder in the game. There is a game process for planetary "bombardment" that is analogous to the "capture" of a playing piece in the game chess.

>> The petition isn't trying to make the game illegal;

I have no problem with the petition. I suspect, however, that it may not have the intended effect on the game. White Wolf may be counting on such publicity to increase sales.
