#33567, "RE: Call it what you want."
Edited on Fri 25-Jun-10 08:38 AM

          

First of all, I agree with you that the role-play is a little questionable. But that's not even the problem. The problem is that you took it upon yourself to tattle on them for something that isn't even a rules infraction, putting yourself in the position of some sort of mortal RP "cop". If you had wanted to keep it IC then you'd have sent a note to Fortress and CC:d those two characters.

The reason I say the role-play is "a little questionable" and not "outright terrible" is that the wood-elves are harboring an ancient evil that they could otherwise destroy. Oh yeah, these are the same wood-elves who asked me to assassinate a dwarf engineer as I was walking through the mountains on the way to Evermoon.

Now I've usually taken the view that goodies, and especially Maran, shouldn't be killing neutrals just to "get to" evil that they want to kill. Like punking neutral guild guards to get to an evil person in the guild. But, at the same time, lots of people have disagreed with me on this and argued that goodies (and Maran) should have the role-play latitude to be more "hard-core" about their evil-killing.

You obviously disagree. And that's fine. But you fail to realize that the staff generally does not share your view. And, even the ones that do share your view probably view you praying about such behavior in a highly negative light.

It's like calling your local police department to tattle on someone for riding his bike on the side-walk. Is it technically illegal? Sure. Do the cops care enough to send a squad car out to ticket the guy based on your testimony? Hell no. And any reasonable person knows that, which is why the cops will probably be more annoyed with you for calling them than they are at the person breaking the law.
