RE: More on the constant raids
Most of the raiders have legitimized their reasons for such RP wise - as such they should hardly be punished for killing people in the towns.
AND FOR THE 100TH TIME - The original raids were not organized by the Sunbeards, dwarves as a whole, or any faction - twas simply a few people looking for loot.
It only developed into RP attacks by factions and their allies upon the double-crossing and killing of my character, Ronguor, by Bowser's character, Coras. This is seen as a double crossing as there is no legitimate RP way in which he may have received the information that skote's character was in his town raiding at the time. Not only was I simply killed (assumedly so they would not have to pay me gold for my services which I was offering), but I was killed for only an inference that my character was related to another dwarf's presence. There was no way to have known in game as of yet, that Ronguor had so much as met skote's dwarf, much less that they are brothers - without metagaming.
I then organized a raid, along with people I was told also had a grudge against Coras, (though we recruited people OOC, we then followed through and legitimized our meetings with RP) which in OOC was nicknamed Operation Mario, while in RP we only meant to gain vengence on Coras.
However, it would seem information was again gained via metagame, as Coras was utterly prepared for our raid, standing on his balcony with a written letter (partially OOC and partially RP) on his person.
We then carried out the pillaging of his town, with some getting carried away (ie; griefing, minor spawn killing of bowser by some [I only heard gecko telling them not to, not who did it]).
I then walked back to his town the next day, with an RP letter in response to his, but was killed by Smythie on sight.
Coras later talked to my character at the Inn, proposing peace. I did not accept his offer outright, as I was only bluffing leadership at the time. I was considering this, but when I went up to my room at the Inn, Deogle was inside - I then killed him assuming he was planted as a would-be assassin. This event greatly effected and delayed my decision making. In the time since this, any raids by any party, whether close friends (or even siblings) or vague aquaintence of Ronguor, on Coras and his towns (even if they are not official, they are still affiliated with him) are utterly justified in my characters eyes, until his mind is made as to eventually attempt to halt them with his influence.
This is no problem from an RP perspective, as no real war is in existence - but in reality, only a continuous link of raids that is seemingly deserved in the eyes of the aggressing party. Hence, this still follows the rules outlining the ages of Kiwike.
I can't say that I'm sorry if this bothers you.
