War system questions

... sit down, kick back and relax, and talk about anything that doesn't belong on one of the other forums.

Thiefbane are not issuing Thiefbane warrants on unclanned individuals taking part in wars. They are serving warrants on behalf of nations they have treaties with. If a warring nation wants to only banish and not warrant for a mercenary’s participation, that’s for them to choose. I suspect more people were just seeing an opportunity to dust off their unknown wanted criminal type alt and thought their Light Side warrant was meaningless just like in times past.

Dammit Kiyari you beat me to posting every time. And what Rig said.

Argh, quit shining the spotlights on us!

Go back to the Tower vs CoL discussion! :P

I know of two instances in the last three days where TB killed two unclanned characters in Andor who had CoL warrants for helping Andor in the war. Both of these characters were statted in the last month and didn’t have TB warrants. My question was, why would Andor allow TB to execute warrants like these on their lands in war time? They may not be official members of the army, but they’re helping the Andor war effort.

I do think it’s ok for anyone involved the wars to get warrants for taking a side. I would also warrant any person (regardless of clan status) attacking those helping my war effort in my homeland. I would see Thiefbane attacking my mercenaries in my homeland as an open action in the war for the opposite side.

That's what I thought too which is why Rico now has to make penance.

This. 100%.

It is like having SS raiding Andor, and the TB go for the LS fighting the SS simply because the LS has a CoL warrant. Only now, instead of just SS and DS, there are CoL raiding Andor too, and the TB attacks, in Andor, the person who has a CoL warrant while the person is fighting the CoL.

It's almost as though someone should do some politics and try and avoid wars if it's such a hardship.

Or just keep whining about it on forums and dying to the largest standing army in the books and in game. Either way.

Is it really such a stretch that the Bounty hunter clan is chasing Sellswords around? Don't be a mercenary, if you're not prepared to suffer for it.

Also, for one of those kills Rico had permission from a LW and pretty sure the second one he also had permission. Not his fault that Cubbies do not pay attention.

Yeah I don't think that's the case. These people are pledging loyalty to certain factions not just willy-nilly destroying everything they see. A third-party Force should not be hunting them down. At any rate I'm working on a solution in my own clan for it.
