I thought I'd start a thread and ask a question:

There are a lot of people who do a lot of bad things in play. Things that hurt other people, and thats, what I LOVE about this sim. Its totally cool. I am still getting used to SL and Crack Den in general, and I see a lot of bad people doing bad things. But, as every event has some sort of karmic payback in the end...

One of the reasons I never play out my anger or murder in game is so many are completely attached to their characters and some sort of story arc (myself included) that in order to include the things I think are necessary in my story, I can't act those out in game, I have to write in NPC's into my stories here on the board to represent those moments.

I'm interested in reading people's thoughts on how they expect to deal with the consequences of their actions and how they want to be approached. If we assume, stereotypically, that justice always has to be served...

Do you always think you are going to get away with it? Do you expect to pay for what you do? How do you decide that? What's worked, what doesn't? Any good stories on playing it out to share?
