I do like this thought. I suppose there could be a DMZ for non-partisans.
I used to play Ultima Online. My character was an old man, bald, white beard, dressed like a monk. But he was a master swordsman and master blacksmith. The most fun I had was when "reds" would under-estimate me and just think they were going to come up and rob/murder an old man. Cause once someone attacks you...they're fair game. Anything goes and its legal. I can still see their character come onto the screen and see an old man...kinda pause to think about it...and then pounce...unsuccessfully. :-)
