Tsyda, You, Tumarellon and Hunsobo kill the Tara'Bal, Hunsobo continues to the watcher. Tsyda leaves. You try and quicksand trap a Maran (brilliant by the way) in the room where the Tara'Bal spawns. I flee past, and summon you to the Hall of Fire since you are the weakest of the three people I am facing. I was the only Hero range Fortie on at the time.

In this case it meant helping my enemy kill my outer, and then hanging around afterwards, while he raids, trying to kill me, in my own cabal.

First, I responded ICly, exactly how my character would have. How is that throwing a hissy fit? Second of all, sitting around in my cabal trying to kill me while the person you just killed my outer with is killing my inner? Yes, thats raiding. You've played Maran, you've played Villagers. Would your Maran and Villagers interpret what you did as anything other than raiding?

I wholeheartedly agree with you. I wanted to declare war on Nexus. It wasn't that I wasn't 'smart enough' to work around them. It is that it would have been abysmal RP on my part to 1) do so, and 2) interpret what was going in any other way. When I play Paladin's they don't go in much for compromise or tying to wiggle through loopholes. Maybe you play your Paladins differently. Would it have been better RP for me to say 'Wow that was clever! Good job!"?

I come to my cabal. You hit me. I think to myself "Hunsobo, Tumarellon, Nanorab. Take out Nanorab first." You were the weakest of the three, so I wanted to eliminate you first. You helped him kill the outer. Tried to kill me with Tumarellon where the outer spawns while Huns is inside raiding. Are you really this dense? I don't mind it OOC at all. I think you were doing what you thought your character should have. What I *don't* understand, however, is why Enarn and I shouldn't have declared war on Nexus except for Immortal intervention.
