Stan,
     From what I have seen of Diablo 2, a player has to choose if they are 
hostile to other party members before they join the game.  If they do they 
are anounced "So & So has joined the game with hostile intentions."  This 
gives everyone in town a chance to team up against them.  If someone wishes

to go hostile who is already in the game, they have to leave and re-enter 
"with hostile intentions".  I thought this would be enough.

This is pretty interesting. Both of these sound like they might work - as
long as everyone is publically aware of it.

After all, it IS a difficult problem. If you keep the anominity of the web
- people can commit heinous acts with less concience. If you take away the
anonimity, your game is a pain to play and people go elsewhere. 

So either of the above systems sound like they have a good chance of
working..

But tell me - doesn't it amount to publically broadcasting your Alignment
to the other players?
