Wheel of Time MUD

1. You can warrant for any attack on your person anywhere in the mud, provided this doesn't breach any of the following rules.
2. You can warrant for any breaking of your nation's laws, provided these are in line with these rules.
3. You can warrant for witnessing a warrant being served on your clan's territory, provided this does not entail a wanted clanmate being hunted (this is in line with 4).
4. You cannot warrant for a player serving a warrant upon you.
5. You cannot warrant for a player assisting a fellow member of their clan when you are trying to serve a warrant upon the wanted.
6. You cannot warrant for clan affiliation or abilities, except for men who can channel.
7. If someone appeals a warrant you must a) post to the entire clan not to hunt that person due to an appeal and b) resolve it within seven (7) days or c) the clan Watcher will make the final binding ruling.
8. If someone submits and you accept the submission, you must pardon.


Players are expressly reminded that an appeal is not the same as a request for a pardon. As such, the time restrictions on requesting a pardon (and accompanying quest), do not apply.

You must warrant before attacking someone, except on the rare occasion that you can only save someone's life by attacking on the spot. In the same vein you can't use mobs to warrant for you.

I think that's a system that could be looked into for sure! The warranting rules don't apply to it so people use it as a defacto warrant.

Whereas people who have been on other end of having that power used on them don't much care for how they can be used. I wish I could post an example of a log that led up to me being warranted at one point, I think it shows exactly why anyone in a clan being able to warrant is problematic. The clan itself usually has a tendency to protect the clanmates and not side with the outsiders due to not wanting to piss off the person they work with so to speak.

The rules are fine, rule abiding and enforcement just need to be followed for them to work.
