FYI we're working on dealing with this and hoping to come up with a ToE post to clarify (Sworn) in detail. It's a relatively new mechanic with some kinks to work out - not extremely easy ones. Rest assured that neither player operated in the best RP or "friendly" houseguest way, and both are likely to be RP-reprimanded as is fit from the Seanchan.

I dunno but I imaging someone calling a seanchan names even if previously swearing loyalty would bring swift and unrelenting justice. Perhaps the point is that sworn should follow some rp too? It’s not one sided.... you can’t just swear oaths and the do whatever you want with no consequences, while the ss is held to high standards of rp. It goes both ways. At least that’s what I took from the log.
If this was RP that Kindness (Sillyname rules aren't enforced anymore I guess....) was a Seanchan criminal/murderer, and RPed that way, as well as log posted in AoW with comments suggesting the RP is just that - then yeah it's all good.

This has zero RP from both sides, and posted with comments that suggest intent to kill from the start, not caring about Sworn or really caring that much as to stop the attack, and then getting salty when called names for not honoring an RP system.

You don't have to be an RP savant to see that there isn't a smidge of RP in this.

He may have not been IC over tells, but he did follow RP by not spamming for you. Idk how strong the 2 mobs are, but if you're fleeing off him Scr/batt, then presumably you can't kill him there with melee, and since he knows you're there as a stabber, had he spammed you couldn't have killed him.

Like I think we're all entitled to basic houseguest respect, but if you were irritated by the word then could have called him back something on tells player to player. This looks like you took it out ICly on him when his RP stopped him from meleeing an officer.

THAT SAID I mean I can't imagine an applicant or someone being really rude over tells either and making a good impression. Could have been handled differently though.

I think when we want to see better RP we need to also give people something to work with.

He's in a clan of murdering oathbreakers who kill our merchants while (sworn) and then try and then resell the goods. 4+ bad apples ruin it for the others?

I mean, what is the majority opinion? Have sworn as a code and follow the RP of a Seanchan takeover, or remove it because it's a hassle for people wanting a quick kill and possibly some gear? People get a little irked when there is RP in place and before they get a chance to RP at all they're trying to tell you to stop to engage... because of the RP.

Imo if the Seanchan as a whole agree to take it out - do it, or RP is so it doesn't go away. Sworn are supposed to have accepted the oaths from the Empress and respected as sitting citizens. That way you don't have Gleeman and Illuminators trying to come RP and getting mad at folks for killing them with sworn tags.

I mean name calling is not a great idea but this was AFTER kindness purposefully hunted him down and stabbed him, despite already whois'ing him. It is clearly premeditated killing of a sworn if you check then track through multiple cities to go after him.

Where exactly is the RP?
Clearly someone with the name "Kindness Kills" is the paragon of what good RP should be.
