There have been a number of threads on this site bemoaning criminals who seem to get away with whatever they want to, and lawmen who try to arrest people at the drop of a hat. Player vs player interactions of this type are a fertile breeding ground for the type of IC drama that bleeds into OOC.
just wondering your thoughts
Consider for instance; a robin hoodesque thief who steals from the rich and gives to the poor. If 'Hood' is only stealing from npcs, then there is no problem, because the player behind 'Hood' is in complete control of how successful he is and whether or not he gets away.
If Hood tries to steal from other players, however, that decision has been removed. You cannot expect to get away lightly, or you may upset their rp sense of justice. Their desire to catch Hood in the act may be as strong as Hoods desire to get away with the deed.
So... OOC communication. Use lots of it, to ensure both sides get an end result they are satisfied with. Otherwise drama will occur.
