I don't think there's anything wrong with someone looting from a corpse of an enemy, unless there's specifically some policy or roleplay forbidding it. In a world where the enemies you kill can come back alive to kill you again, it makes sense that if you are going to kill them, you are going to take all their armor and weapons to impede them when they return alive. This notion of honor and lightmage cabal have nothing to do with the roleplaying of war in such a world, and certainly not for a magic cabal like the warlocks, but are the birth of an ooc ideal, that is, the knowledge the world is make believe, for fun, and there are real people behind those characters whom we don't necessarily need to cause undue pain for. Then there are grey areas like multi-killing, taunting, etc. But I won't go into that.

So in this respect, there's nothing wrong imho with X's looting of the corpse. As Karithia pointed out, if the four of you are going to hunt him down as you did, it's a bit late to suddenly develop a conscience. Perhaps it would be a different story if all of you had a prior agreement to return his things, which you might have called for before he died.

What I found annoying was the way you summoned an immortal to complain, and then delete when your complaint wasn't taken to the level that you wanted. Warlocks have never been about returning equipment. Sometimes the equipment is returned. Sometimes a leader or an adept may order certain items returned, if they are specific reasons. But for you to kill yourself that way after prattling on...

On Karithia's tone and roleplay, yes, during my stint as a warlock, she did present herself in the arrogant, condescending, reactive roleplay that she typied in your log. That's not the first time she's acted in such a way, and her roleplay also shows her quick to become emotional, in terms of rebuke, anger and sorrow. It's her choice to roleplay such, she knows that it's not going to make her the most popular person. I think that's partly why Shokai probably wins the popularity contest as immortals go in the mud. In my interactions, he is never mean spirited or arrogant in what he says or does, and almost always speaks with kindness and patience. It's the OOC player who likes Shokai. On the flipside is someone like Zulghinlour, whom you will be hard pressed to find saying half a decent thing without it being sarcastic or a cut at you. I won't go into whether the real life personalities of immortals have anything to do with their roleplay, but I will certainly say that if there were not a broad spectrum of immortals representing all the different emotions and personalities available, CF would be a little monotonous.
