It may be easier to solicit your services as opposed to applying them directly to the people in question. I don't mind it so much myself, but people have their own ideas on how things are and how it applies to their hyper powered characters. It's so difficult to get someone to respect another without a spending some time sending out OOC tells.
Well, Judge should be good in that regard, then! And awesome story about the Gnome!
It got mentioned on and off in here, but this seems to be the case with "official" authority figures as well - like the Blades and the 'Sworn, yes? That common courtesy means that you should send one of the people involved a /tell and see if they want an authority figure stepping in before doing so, right? Rather than just stepping in and trying to show your authority as the Law.
So how does one handle the situation when they turn you away, or it's less "IC conflict" and more like the aforementioned guy who godmoded killing some Blades and then bragging about it? Is it simply a matter of shrugging and moving on, since it's not your RP anymore by that point (in the case of the former) or you can't feasibly actually affect anything (in the case of the latter)? That answer almost seems too... simple if true, if that makes sense.
You'd figure that, as a lawman, it should be in your duty to step in and resolve an issue that would - ICly - require your attentions. On the other, imposing on other peoples' RP.
