I'm not picking on you, Chris, and I think you have gotten over this bump here, but this:
You can't use probe-mind/interrogate to predict what a person will do (or force them to do it), only what their intentions are and what they know AT THAT MOMENT.
The problem with you example is that you COULD ask someone that, and they could say "yes" at the time, actually meaning it, but that doesn't hold them to it (or mean they were cheating if they do it later). How many times have people have you known broken a promise? What YOU are listing here is something more like implant suggestion.
I don't see interrogate/probe mind as being useful for emotional-based questions, since even a yes or no can be too vague or limiting. They are really only useful skills when asking very specific things.
Is kind of a silly slope.GM_Chris wrote:Want to know if any PC is going to enguage in PvP heck line everyne up at game on seer them and ask "You promise to never kill a PC eitehr directly or indirectly" This way if he/ she does they cheated and are kicked out of the game. There no more PvP possible.

I'm sure that will cause more roleplay.
