If you attack a group of ragers you are basically running the risk of them all attacking you and it is a known risk. You are choosing to engage the 3, they are not choosing to engage you. If they autoass and you eat death blows and die it is your own fault.

It basically seems to me like Verathi is learning how the cabal operates and keeps getting fed information second hand from higher level IMMS and acting harshly on what he hears because he is supposed to be da police of Battle, but really there is a Drillmaster for that and you're just making his life easy and denying him interesting RP dynamics. It is good to have police for the Village, but burning huts on first offenses and not patterns of behavior is meh and detracts from funstick.
