Wellll, STRICTLY speaking, locking a villager in the alchemy lab to help prevent village starvation, is not a violation of SPCV policies. Neither is "forcing" a villager to learn farming in an effort to prevent starvation of the tribe.

This is, after all, no worse than locking away a bad person who has committed a crime in our civilization. We never said you couldn't "punish" certain bad behaviors, as long as it isn't capital punishment.

In the immortal words of Mr. Spock: "The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few."

Sounds to me, that at heart you may have the makings of and SPCV member after all!
