Honestly as a player I got shit-tired of the shit Kage got ICly and OOCly for being a Brass Blade. I made the decision "fuck it, he's going back soon. now."
As Sultansworn, Kage never tried to up and up arrest anybody unless it was with people I trusted. The Sultansworn gaols are typically used (when I was involved anyway) for political prisoners or spies who pose a big threat to the Sultana or the authority of the Sultansworn). otherwise, Kage points to any Brass Blades or just tries to say, "Look if you keep this up I don't think anyone would mind if I were to hand your arse to your face."
As a Brass Blade, there were people who were quite willing to accept the authority of the Brass Blades being the one true law enforcement of Ul'dah. Many more just gave Kage shit. People conveniently forget that the Brass Blades do still give their lives for people. They just remember the blatant corruption. lol
What I've tried to do is that with any player I am not comfortable with, due to their own RP or whatnot, is to either use OOC communications or I decide to ignore it all together. Using a Linkpearl or whatnot so that certain things said are not heard. I don't think I've ever tried to force Kage's perceived authority on anyone else. It's something that I let the other decide. If they don't, they don't. I've not really run into it though since I usually do that with people I trust to RP with.
