Hahaha, no I don't think anyone's going to get upset with me for drinking d=
igital alcohol. If that were a problem, I'd probably be in BIG trouble if I=
 got caught repeatedly consorting with incubi/succubi.

On that note, I thought through what a "Mormon" conduct would include:
- Law of Tithing: you have to give at least 10% of the gold you collect to =
an aligned priest
- Word of Wisdom: no potions of booze, black potions (coffee), or brown pot=
ions (tea). For a samurai or monk, brown potions are okay but no dark green=
 potions (green tea).
- Law of Chastity: Get "married" before consorting with a foocubus. In orde=
r to get married, you have to tame it first, then bring it to an altar and =
"pray" next to it. Finally, you have to give it/get from it a ring of adorn=
ment. Then you can't be with any other foocubus unless yours dies, and you =
"marry" another. (Lest anyone suggest polygamy is okay, that would be a "Mo=
rmon Fundamentalist" conduct and would be separate)
- Missionary Work: Convert every convertible altar. This includes ones with=
 aligned priests (to put some challenge into the game).
- Eternal Marriage: Ascend with your "married" pet foocubus
