I realize this isn't /v/, but fuck if I'm going to post there. I'm looking for something I read a long while ago, and was hoping to read again, and Ultima does seem relevant to most fa/tg/uy interests.
It was a set of stories about an incredible troll in Ultima Online, a bard if I remember correctly, whose things was stealing from other players in increasingly ridiculous ways. I remember a phrase the person used a lot, though this is paraphrasing: "You dropped it and then it belonged to the ground, and now it belongs to [character name]!" I can't find this shit, and I've been looking for a few hours. If I could just remember the character's name, I would find it easily, but I can't remember anything except 'bard, steals shit, and uses really backwards logic to justify it'.
Nah the morality system seems pretty terrible, no one is capable of living up to the Eight Virtues and they just lie around being useless waiting for the one person who did manage to work that shit by either being an inherent badass or gaming the system and ripping off blind merchants until they were super rich then giving charitable handouts to solve ALL their problems.
Pretty sure this is even mentioned specifically in-game at times.
Also "The Stranger" is just a cooler title than "The Avatar", and being being a Deepspace Fighter-Ace is pretty damn sweet
