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

The element of surprise
This is probably one of your best tools. Pouncing on your mark when they're completely buffed up and ready to battle isn't the best of ideas. The best thing to do would be to follow your mark as discreetly as possible until they're in a non combat state, such as relaxing in a cantina. Better yet, wait until they're fighting something else, and then jump into the fray to finish them off.
Here's an example from my own personal experience. I was hunting a certain Jedi, and I found that he was Krayt hunting. Being that he's out hunting Krayt dragons, he's going to be buffed out the arse. Unfortunately, I didn't consider that fact. Nor did I wait until he was actually engaged with a Krayt before attacking him. Nooooo.... I had to run in all macho and go one on one. Needless to say, it didn't work well.
Don't do what I did.

KOS also only applies to a certain group or entity instead of anyone who claims to hunt bounties. The semantics are the same, just for a different audience. |

I don't think Spyte ment to imply that she would kill after the KOS is over. What she ment in my eyes is that while the KOS is on, she has no problems taking advantage of it.
In MERCS, betrayal is punishable by death. Im am so strict on our clan fellowship that I only allow members to enter the clan twice. After that it's permanent exile unless under certain rare circumstances.
I highly doubt anyone here means to grief anyone intentionally. |

I really should just leave this board while I am sick and irritable. I am misreading so many things

Starting out irritable here sometimes is a recipe for a flame war along the lines of....

Forgetting about some events is an option. Not my prefered one, but still an option. It has also been the only option in some cases.

To stick my every-so-irritating nose in this, I remind that every member of -ONE- became KOS to every Imperial RPer in the community after the guild came into existence. Kirt's dark Jedi guild spawned from -ONE-'s RP and became a constant enemy. We RPed ourselves into that scenario and it was lost when most of Kirt's guild dispursed after his departure. This scenario lasted for a few months.
Later, due to RP designed by 2-3 members of -ONE-, the entire guild became KOS again, due to a traitor within the council. This RP was also accepted by every member of the guild (to my knowledge) and eventually led to the destruction of the Academy by Nyvveck, Vader and several Imperial members of the community. After the initial betrayal, all of this was accepted by those involved and nothing was undone.
Every member of the community RPing a Jedi accepts that they are under a potential KOS at all times. Currently, Jart could be under a KOS by Nyvveck, for all I know. They fought at the Academy for a few brief moments, and Jart was summarily defeated by superior numbers. All of the surviving Academy was taken into custody and sent to a prison. Shensen was detained and taken away by Vader himself. The Academy's departure from the prison (or the transit to the prison) was never RPed, as many of the captives were needed in other RP only a matter of minutes after Vader's shuttle left.
There are several examples of ongoing (well nigh permanent) KOS's in the community. RP yourself into a situation, you are expected to RP yourself out - your IC actions have consequences. There are several logical options for how an RPvP defeat can be handled, and as long as we continue to mutually agree on RP in this community, we shouldn't see many problems appear when someone is defeated.
If we place a limitation on how long one character can want another to be deceased, we are placing a limitation on that person's RP. If Iago wants Rinna dead, time might soothe his feelings, but that time is up to Iago's character. If MERCS wants Jart dead, I don't expect there to be a statute of limitations on it. I do expect to be able to discuss alternatives on how a combat situation would result and find a compromise that the players of the combatants can agree on.
Personally, if Attela intends to hide from Temple until the KOS order runs out, I think that the time limit prevents the IC situation from being resolved and the KOS should go on as long as Temple feels it is prudent. Until captured/defeated, I'd keep my troops after a traitor, unless the hunt for said traitor became more costly than I could afford or too distracting from another issue. *shrug*

Thank you, Iago.
At the time I issued the Order, there were quite a few people around, only one of whom was another TEMPL member. Not one of them argued with the decision.
