Summary. Over the last couple days there has been a character that has been befriending me. They had many chances to attack me and did not.

Lo and behold they get to the 15th rank and say they are ready to travel. When I initially went to meet them they would not enter the inn saying a battle assassin had attacked them and they were bloody.

Since they were with another character I had ranked with from pretty much the beginning I went to meet them. Since he was the leader I had to be visible. I was somewhat suspicious and had fly up. (It's all I could purchase) But as soon as I vised I was bashed down and he was talking #### about now he was an applicant.

I reform and challenge him to a duel, he accept and I sleep him. a full fledged villager shows up and strikes him.

I have sent notes to the village on both villagers, but is this honestly even policed?

If not then I'm seriously kicking myself for not doing this because I thought it was against the village rules.

It doesn't help that I know who one of the villagers is already OOC by their tells and every encounter with them sucks my will to play the game.

Specifically, there is at least one person, if not two or three of several alignments, who are at or above that rager app's level capable of making their life a living hell and willing to do so in a less than sportsmanlike fashion if compensated properly for the work beforehand.

Your job is to stay IC, explain the situation, pay accordingly and back them up either with an obscene amount of cash, several preps, or both. If you find someone who believes you, that player can and will be forced to delete. If you can't do it yourself, you simply need to make it worth their time for someone else you trust to be competent and not take it personally if they either fail or die.

But don't post here or on Dio's seriously. At minimum you can just ignore him until/unless you find your sleek black. If you hand someone a decent sized bag of enlarge/reduce/flight/protection/stone skin fillets, you don't have to be the one to do the hard work involved in crushing that tool, you just have to do the boring part and then be the live bait just outside an area.

You also have to ask yourself if your character actually cares. Obviously as a player you find it poor behavior (I do too), but remember that you're roleplaying someone who raises dead bodies for a living. Maybe you find the betrayal amusing. Or want revenge.

When you get angry as a player, forgetting to look at the events through your character's roleplay is an easy, easy mistake for everyone, even vets.
