First, thank you for backhanded compliments.

As for the rest, here's a my quick response. It's not the Spire raiding the Fortress. And it certainly was never anyone taking the maran hammer, or later orb. It was going after an individual who was seeking sanctuary in a place. Once someone decides to get flagged - and please agree with me that it's the criminal's decision, nobody forces someone to break the law - then they have decided to put themselves in the position of being hunted if there is a Vindicator or Justiciar in the game. They know what's going to happen. If they choose to bring their cabal mates and guardians in, that's their choice. I, as a player, don't say whether that is right or wrong, it's a choice the character needs to make. But you can't blame the tribbies for doing their job. It would be like saying "You can hunt evil, but not in their cabal." And unlike you, tribbies don't take items. Once the criminal is dead, tribbies leave. So no, I don't think it's unfair in the least and I don't think it's hypocritical. And as you can see from my past characters, I've been on both sides of that.

As for lying, I think you are mistaken. I didn't really lie, almost never in fact. And had you attacked me while I was fighting Yaofhil but not at the maran, I would have flagged you. You are allowed to defend your cabal if I am attacking it, but if I am not and you interfere with my hunting the criminal, you get flagged. I meant it when I said it. You just decided to stay at the maran and not come out, so it didn't come up. The only time you did attack me was when I was at either the inner or outer gaurdian, and you're allowed to do that. And attacking other tribunals isn't a crime because they aren't "Tribunals on duty" when outside the cities. Only a Vindicator/Justiciar.

I'd be happy to email you but you didn't provide an address that I can see. Maybe I'm missing it. In any event I can be reached at darmokcf@yahoo.com or, of course, Loborguz@hotmail.com.

You were, of course, a fine paladin and Algorvhal had good words for you when you were young and he was old. Good luck on your next.
