...he refuses, then shows up at my cabal with a gang to take our item...I'm going to punk him and not feel sorry about it.

I specifically mentioned this situation, where you're forced to fight, in my above post.

I stand by exactly what I said. There has to be some tangible difference between a goodie Rager/Outalnder/Tribunal and a neutral Rager/Outlander/Tribunal. If you roleplay the occasional bit of remorse, or write it in to your role, but behave for all intents and purposes exactly the same as a neutral, expect yourself to be turned neutral. Because, um, you're acting exactly like a neutral. It doesn't seem too far-fetched to me, and this standard has been relatively consistently enforced by the staff over time.
