"He'll be fined after death, for the Reeves'll think his corpse was wearing cardinal red!"

This sounds great! Honestly I think the blacklist thing was being used so much anyway because there was no other coded form of enforcement. This fits the bill quite well.

Ghed wonders, "Before we begin, folks, here's a reminder of the OOC Chat Pact: Everyone on TI does the best they can, given what they know at the time, their skills and abilities, the resources available, and the situation at hand. We will be respectful of this and each other at all times." Today's...

Given the way people are responding to this topic and to me personally, I think I'm going to set this one aside. But before I do I want to be 100% clear: My perspective is exactly as plague stated: I want the "authorities to have tools which allow them to do what they would theoretically be capable ...

There's no real good solution to this right now as things stand. As is, the blacklists ARE happening, and will probably keep happening, so I think fugitives are going to be in just as unpleasant a place either way - it's just gonna keep costing the Merchants beaucoup resources for zero good IC reaso...

Well, I should backtrack, I don't mean to throw shade at anybody's RP choices! How people handle being wanted is 100% up to them. I played primarily in a time where, yes, if you got revealed, it was time to go out in a blaze of glory. So the idea of NOT committing suicide by pyre while making as big...

I am 100% not talking about people who violate ANY laws, but people who are wanted for heresy, magery, or murder specifically. We could even make it only magery and murder. No warrants short of a capital crime should deny you service. And, well - realistic pressure should be put on people who are wa...

I can't say I was around when the command was taken away from the Knights, so I'm not sure what justification there could have been for yanking it out - really weird change, tbh. It's not a special privilege - it's them getting the same coded support for their IC abilities that the Reeves get. But I...

Yeah I WOULD be fine with any remotely shady shops selling to them as cloaked figures, I should clarify that.

The thing is, the IC purpose of the warrant command is to let members of a guild know somebody is wanted for a crime and to be on the lookout. This is something the Knights absolutely need to do as part of their roleplay - and they DO do it, routinely, just mysteriously without the benefit of a code...
