Sure, you might see them as soldiers like I do and therefore treat such things as out of their jurisdiction, but it's a step up from a citizen's arrest IF they happen to be around. If someone literally ran up to the flame HQ or something then sure, they'd tell them to run along and tell the blades instead.
I could be wrong but I could have sworn I have seen Adders make arrests so it might not be that unusual.
Yeah, I've had the above re: GC members happen quite a few times. Depends on the circumstances whether the GC member in question rolls with it or not, and on the member(s) themselves, I feel.
Soldiers breaking up a bar fight makes total sense. Arresting folks for civil unrest stretches credulity but is manageable if you give it the right spin, e.g. "I'm going to drag you out of here if I can and hand you off to the Blades".
EDIT: I must emphasize OoC communication and OoC mutual consent at all times.

It's a similar situation with the Sultansworn in my mind. Frankly speaking, it's not really any of their business(less so than Flames I imagine), but if the character personally has a sense of duty given that they have the training to handle such a situation and are already in the area then why not?
That said! I highly encourage more Brass Blade RP!Â
(I'd like to say Wailer and Jacket too, but honestly speaking, I can't imagine that they'd have half many opportunities to interact with such scenes;Â Â Â Â )

Hey all. Seems I'm the only Gilgameshian posting here, so I thought I'd share.
1. Seven months ago, an open-world performance RP event called "The Minstrel's Ballad" compelled me to give RP in an MMO a try for the first time in my life. Within a couple of months, I wrote and performed my first poem at said event. In the five months that followed, I have written and performed poems, stories, songs, and dances nearly weekly at said event with three different characters. As of three weeks ago, I have taken over hosting said event, and now am transforming one of those nights per month into a huge faire/carnival complete with vendors, street performers, mini-games, and the main attraction, the event which began it all.
2. Also, seven months ago, I was a new member in my FC, The Adamantium Order, still learning how to use custom /emotes. Today, I have the honor and privilege of being second in charge of the FC, and I host/GM weekly events for our members. In our campaigns, I have taken our 6-8 person group in-character to the Shroud, Thanalan, Binding Coil, and other dungeons.
3. I have initiated "Explorzea Day" for our FC, and have invited the entire RPC to join us. This is the day we lock the FC house for "monthly maintenance" and push everyone out into the world for open RP. My intent is to sell this as a monthly observational day, of sorts.
4. I am selling Wolves' Den Pier to the RPC as an alternative RP hub, cultivating its image to resemble Mos Eisley (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mos_Eisley) or a sort of Promenade like on Deep Space 9 (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Promenade). To this end, I'm hosting events there and calling for more to draw attention to its many RP-facilitating features, such as the close aetheryte, pier for epic scenes, beautiful view for romantic interactions, shopkeepers with full stalls, delivery moogle for penpal RP, GC-neutral zone since all colors are hung on walls, open-air tables on the upper deck for tavern/performance events, shady areas on the inner decks for shady interactions, and more.

I'm spreadin' RP to dungeons on Sunday.
but none of you are invited because I already got my other 3. if I get a non-WoL reasons to head into the other ones I'll be sure to, uh, not advertise it unless your character knows Kellach, I guess?

I've seen a few Gilgameshians posting lately making me wish they were on my server (no server pride, just aw, I wish I could play with them). Perhaps I'll have to consider spreading some RP that way.
And Wolves' Den Pier sounds awesome. I'd forgotten what it was like until unlocking it recently on an alt, and it is a pretty impressive, easily accessible locale. Thumbs up for that suggestion.
