We're all members in a wonderful community here, and it's nice to think that we can all try to be grand to one another, and that's why asking before doing things makes it all the better, and easier to make sure roleplay goes smoothly! However, when you approach a RP between two individuals unannounced, proceed to heckle them ICly for 'papers', and then try to arrest them all in the span of what wasn't even ten minutes? It just doesn't work out well for either party! Especially when the characters decide to leave that situation, and one of the two receives a tell saying their RP partner and themselves included are going to be Blacklisted of all things? For what, not wanting their characters to be arrested by someone who came to their RP unannounced? It's why communication is so important. It just takes a few seconds.

I agree. The guide is nice but you are expecting everyone to follow it. The issue then becomes when you are interrupting someone's roleplay to push the 'law' on someone who did not wish to partake in the first place. I know why you made this post and anyone on Tumblr can find it. That's silly. If you're roleplaying in the world, you should expect the average person to abide by the rules of that world. If I encountered someone who was very obviously breaking some sort of law, my character wouldn't act like it was normal. He would at least be confused and note that something was wrong. The guide is for people to understand how things are supposed to go in this place that not many people have had time to get familiar with. There's nothing wrong with giving people information about how things are supposed to work in the world they're playing in. The problem is you are speaking of Murdering or a straight up attack in the public eye. That? I expect Law enforcement to step in. What started this post was nothing even close to that. Just two people Roleplaying about traveling and then being called illegal and attempted to be arrested. I still stand by that this is a fine guide for people interested in Law Enforcement in Kugane, but it doesn't matter if it is open world or not; No everyone wants to RP inside a house all day and there isn't private zones. JUST ASK before engaging! It is just a courtesy. Howdy there! As one of the two individuals who were involved in a recent situation involving the 'law' in Kugane, I did want to come forward with my own comment as well. As Rowena had said, asking is a sure-fire way to make sure certain RP is okay with folk when approaching! For example, if two folk are outweighing the pros and cons between taking someone in alive, or collecting a bounty on their head, that's not quite a proper reason to take someone into custody, etc.
