KOS (Kill On Sight) Discussion

Nisoa, you forgot Thyngmoot, still held by the Welsh. The origin there is Old Norse...related to Old Germanic. In the case under discussion, moot point, wherein "moot" is an adjective describing "point", the definition I gave is the accepted modern usage.

And yes, I do use "moot" in both modern and archaic forms. It depends on the person with whom, and in which context, I am speaking.
-------------------------------------------------

The Official KOS Order was forced by a situation in which all parties involved were afraid that we would have to commit a breach of community roleplay protocol...to wit, a death from which Attela could not roleplay a recovery.

Having your brains splattered all over a wall does not equate to "badly injured."

I do not apologize for issuing the order. I do expect the community to come up with a better solution than the one I was forced into...without so much angst. You have time to consider what should have been done. I had none.

KOS seems to be just an extension of the RP bounty system. They are practically identical even down to motivation. The only differance really is KOS is without compensation.

Please also read the excerpt from the "RP bounty system" below about suprise attacks.

Sorry, Iafeu, Nyvveck did have that particular information. He interrogated the kiva in his official capacity prior to us looking for you. The questions he asked pinpointed who the betrayer was. He had no way of knowing that it would, but such is war.

How do you think we knew to look for Attela and you that day? How do you think we knew that you had the information. For just that once, Attela did not tell us anything.

Which interrogation was this? The "friendly little chat" interrogation, or the "torture" interrogation?

The first time I questioned the Kiva, I didn't have the information. I called her back and used some more forceful means of questioning upon gaining this information.

I could have sworn I didnt send it to him until after the raid but so much has happened recently that its entierly possibly that I am just mixed up.

I think that what might have caused some confusion is this. Before Nyvveck recieved the information from what Attela gave Iafeu, he knew there was a monestary. He did not know where, or why it was there, but he knew Temple was at least looking into creating a secret monestary. How? I am not entirely sure, but I believe Giza told Iafeu who told Nyvveck.

To me, the amazing thing is that this has caused such a ruckus. I never needed any KOS order to let Attela know OOC that she was KOS as far as Spyte is concerned (this was before the 'official' KOS order was handed down and in response to tells from Attela.) I have no doubt that most of us are adults or near enough here.

Spyte and every member of Temple who so chooses has plenty of reason to kill Attela, order or no. To me - the order is meaningless - it was simply reaffirming the state she was already in for Spyte.

Attela went out of her way to RP a betrayal, none in Temple said 'hey - how about forcing some rp I don't want to deal with on me?' Attela has chosen to rp one of the worst things you can choose to do in a time of war and I, for one, am not going to just let it slide.

I'm not called Spyte for nothing.
