This right should logically be open to all signatories to the treaty, not just the Monacorans.
True, better yet why not create a small independent agency with agents appointed by all of us for this purpose?

I will not be participating in any such enterprise, though my magic experts will be made available.

Seriously, Pablo- no assassin wants their quarry to know that they are coming. I'll need to be clever about this.

Think laterally... maybe there's a trick. It'll be hard to guess, but I'll send you an IC hint if you want.

I'd be all up in that. I'm not bad at puzzle games, but here I have no major ideas.

No, it's more like arresting the Iraqi escorts of Saddam Hussein.

They were assisting a fugitive. Straha's move makes perfect sense.

Same as any other weapon. It probably would have been easier to zap it with ion cannons or powerful proximity-fuse EMP bombs.

I had assumed Ion cannons were out of tech range, and EMP bombs would have given him a chance to react signifigantly. Thanks for the OK though.

You realize that the tlanteans use a form of Altrustic capitalism right?

The ships crew woud have been sivilian contractors. They were assisting Karsus get to the point of his arrest, because he paid them to do so.

TO use another analogy..

Arresting the cab driver who drove the fugitive to the police station when he turned himself in.. for aiding and abbeting.

The cab driver would obviously be questioned regardless of his level of involvement. In this case, dealing with an extremely dangerous man like Karsus, the Monacorans played it very safe and went in like gangbusters.

He can expect hell from the Atlanteans then... They are like dolphns protecting their pod. That was a very bad political move.

It was a bad political move to harbor a wanted fugitive. It was a bad political move to try and enforce the wishes of traitors.

I don't think that best because, you see, Sharky might act in a different way then you have him acting. Why not cut the article, and use it later IF he decides to act in a similar way that you portray him as acting.

I would also question how you managed to get a news bit in a manner of minutes, but I'll leave that for later.

time has no scale in an STGOD... there is no way of judging how quickly things transpire, save for group concensus.

I will cut the post however...

Though, I lve 5 min away from the guy and see him every day.. I can generally predict how his people would respond, I helped him work out the society.

Let's work this out bit by bit shall we.

A. Shark Bait's nation, not your own, is interacting with mine.

B. My craft have places to go, and would rather not hang around for very obvious reasons, hence the time comment.

C. I don't care if he's your lover, it's still his nation, in my time STGODing here I've come to understand your "style" and can predict it very well at times, doesn't mean I post responses for your nation as a whole.

D. How did your nation, which is VERY new to the region, suddenly get news crews, FTL comm equipment, and inside access in a VERY (you should understand this, considering you helped make his society, and persumably made your own) foreign nation?
