Sometimes people like to let their initial role evolve. You are therefore forced to decide what comprises a "token" role, and not a proper role. Lots of chance for ill feeling.

This already happens.

Umm, this makes perfect sense. Perfect. If the other evils take the gear, and the one that makes the kill doesn't like it, then the one that makes the kill should kill them (or something). If he's too weak to do so, or otherwise unable to act for some reasons, that's part of being evil and spending time with evils. Allies may screw you over.

Personally, people tend to hand over what I tell them to from my kills, because they can be reasonably confident that I'll kill them if they don't (or at least make life difficult). My evils have killed people in my own cabal before, more than once.

Except that people will use it to hide out when things look tough, until they see some allies. There's the inn which is close to what you describe, at lower level.

On another forum, players try to explain these things in real life, and many outlander focussed players still have problems with tribs, and vice versa.

Mainly the problem revolves around people not being willing to raid without big groups, which is largely down to outlanders liking to hide in large numbers and gank any solo char, or tribs calling guards and manacles which are extremely powerful (since having sequester added). Was easy to handle as a druid, but not so easy for many classes.

Yep. Enemies can have conversations without having to be in the room together.

I do enjoy it much more. Enemies are generally the most interesting things out there, imho.

Alternatively, you might feel that they make a great trophy, and have increased morale. You are only seeing one possible feeling out of many.

I think Heralds already do do these kind of things? Heralds aren't just about hanging out in the inn. I think they are about gathering knowledge and sharing it etc.
