> I apologize to anyone who thinks I am looking a dead horse up the ass but let me just say two last things. First, I think we can all agree as far as those who were slain by the enforcer for killing city guards, that the enforcer was acting in the interest of "city law". Now, let's take a likely scenerio... I am in Emerald forest ranking on dryads. Should I be glancing over my shoulder worried that the ranger king is going to run over and stomp my ass for defiling his forest?
If you are a Ranger, Druid, Wood Elf, or somewhere in your role it states you protect forests, I would expect to get smacked down hard. If you have spent 90% of your character’s life doing nothing but kill pixies, brownies, dryads, nymphs, and rangers, I would expect to get smacked down.
> Second question... Should I show a mob the same respect I would show an Immortal during a conversation simply because I know that mob is presently being controlled by an Immortal? In the interest of roleplay, I say no. The Immortal controlling the mob is no longer an Immortal but simply the mob. By those standards, the Immortal behind the scenes should act like the mob would act. Yes? So, Is it the persona of the enforcer to purge Galadon of every little brat?
I agree with below. Roleplay how your character would act. Take into consideration that your actions [b] will[/b] create a reaction, perhaps one you do not want.
As for all the bitching below. Roleplay is in the rules. If you break the rules you get punished. If a mob starts acting like it has an imm controlling it and you do not RP, you are stupid and deserve what you get. If you die and then start acting ooc, you have simply proven the imm correct and they now most likely feel even more justified in their actions.
