I take issue with this. Â There is no authority in this game beyond what we agree upon. Â By saying this, you're effectively saying that the OTHER rper has final say in what her character does. Â And that's just ridiculous.
I said that. Not sure why it's quoting Augustine Frost. ((EDIT: Nevermind, I must be seeing things.))
The other rper is making a public arrest for the confession of a crime in a public setting. This arrest sounds realistic to me. (Granted, I wasn't there for this part of the Natalie-C'kayah-mage rp so it might've played out differently than I imagine.) If we deny the ability for our lawman rp characters to make lawful arrests in a public setting... then you're effectively castrating those lawman characters. Like what Augustine said, what's the point in rping a lawman if you go to arrest a person and you always have to back down because the character's author is squeamish in getting arrested? If you commit an illegal act in public, be OK with being arrested.
