Re: DIS: "Class-N Crime" or "Class N Crime"
This would be a good candidate for a cleanup. I think the dash is more correct as its an adjectival phrase as it were?

Just for reference, it was originally calibrated such that, if something was just ILLEGAL, it was by default a Class P crime where P was the power of the Rule. Adding the explicit Class was if you wanted to make something more (or less) serious than the power of the rule implied.

I also note that keeping those definitions will make it easier to bring back a criminal judicial system, which we're planing to do soon anyway. -Aris

CFJs in the past, after the undefinition of "class N crime", have found that specifying something as a crime makes it illegal, and higher classes should encourage higher punishments. In other words, pretty much what it meant back when it was defined, just less precise. -- ais523
