(This rant is outdated now that iRO has the anti-town DB patch, but went through other forms of griefing over the years. However, griefing today is nowhere near the level that it was when this rant was written, but I feel it still has an important message.)
iRO seems to be unique among the varied services in that quite a few users enjoy wreaking havoc by gathering as many branches as they can and causing mayhem in crowded areas. This essay is about my feelings in dead branches, how they're used, and why I think it's wrong to be an ass and spam them in towns/spawn areas.
