Take that, ye double standards.
Same thing...
If someone let's literally thousands of people die in order to save a loved one, that's a despicable act. I don't really want to get into semantics again, but everyone has loved ones and everyone has people they want to save. I know in the RP terms "Thousands poisoned" is just a pithy line, but if you really think of it that's a big deal. Just as one person is willing to let thousands die to saved their loved ones, thousands more will be willing to risk anything to get revenge on their loved ones that were slain. Obviously we can't RP out all those NPC's but as others have said the gravity of the situation needs to be respected.
In recent memory a terrorist attack killed several thousand people out a population of 300 million and it started two wars and numerous other low intensity operations. This attack did the same for a much lower population (probably less than one million), it is a HUGE DEAL, even if their loved ones were in peril. Would anyone have given a fuck if Osama been laden ordered the 9/11 attacks to save his wife or something? (No).
Also to take it away from an attack, I really think dealing with this would only help RP. Right now people on the outskirts have the perspective that joining the villain side is like russian roulette, if they picked the wrong side they could be screwed. While I know you want to keep things secret, it might help if people know they have an out, just so they can take more risks and get involved in more shady business. Otherwise it's going to be harder and harder to get people to play on the villain side.
