Shattered Kingdoms

I was in Krychire, and I was on mode stun with pets who were on mode stun.

I attack someone and stun them, and this is what I get:

> A large black horse slams into Aliquada and sends her sprawling!
A large black horse's bash knocks the wind out of Aliquada.
A vicious male minotaur slams into Aliquada and sends her sprawling!
A vicious male minotaur's bash knocks the wind out of Aliquada.
Ok.

I check my memory:

Thinking back, you remember witnessing the following crimes...

1. *Attempted murder of Vorak by Aliquada in Wastes.

So, my question is, shouldn't I have been charged with assault and battery? I started the fight with an o all bash, not her.

Is this because if you're on mode kill and someone who is on stun, they can still attack and spam stun you and yet you are the one outlawed?

That doesn't seem right to me. Just doesn't. Something here is amiss.

Sometimes your own outlaw memory can be faulty. Perhaps this is such a case - if not, something is definately amiss.



This looks like she initiated, I do not know if this applies if she has just attacked you earlier - did she?

No, I am the one who initiated.

Did you ask Aliquada of what her outlaw memory showed? I find that my own memory never shows my own high murders, if anything I do myself.

100% both you and pets were all on stun?

This confirms it.

The constant double bashing is off as well. This also eventually lead to her death, so I don't see how the law was working correctly here. Owners should be responsible for their pets, and it really looks like it didn't take that into account.

she was on mode kill, thus attempted murder. If someone attempts to murder you and you're on mode stun, it's never outlawable. Apparently in krychire, you can mode stun nail people who are on mode kill and get away with it.

Theres such thing as self defense.

When I played my Fist someone tried to petrify/sleep me or something and I killed them in a round or so before I could react.

The Innkeeper just said the whole "Looks like justice to me" thing.

I just call it "The Anti-Walrus Measure".
