One would be following it's role in the history, the other not being a general ass.

Funny, because I have seen plenty of times where the other side has picked up corpses of Celest's citizens and not given them back. Heck, just yesterday the corpses of the people who died trying to kill Ladantine in the cave were not handed over to Celest for resurrections or immolation. So I guess being a general #%$ is prevalent on all sides according to your statement.

I see death and praying as a possible consequence of combat. If a person is not willing to deal with the consequences, then the person should seek to limit his/her risks of experiencing the consequences or avoid the action that may cause the consequences in the first place. It is not the responsibility of the other side to reduce the consequences of your actions for you. This is especially true when you seek to harm the other side with your every waking breath.

If your character is honourable, you return the corpses of your enemy, to the enemy as it has been done in RL history

Can't really compare it like that - corpses IRL stay dead, and were being given back to bury - not to troll around again.

As for the sport, what is Lusternia to your character - a world, or just an arena? Murphy may have a weird approach to life, but that would be quite exceptional.

You guys seem to want an Inquisition hammer your balls to the wall Celest. A Celest like that should not even be giving mercy to her enemies. OOC considerations about how much experience a person will lose should not even come into the picture. Simply put, each side should expect that no mercy will be given. Death to the Infidels and all of that Jazz should be in full effect. (Unless what you guys really want is Celest to be hard when it suits your purposes, but soft when it benefits you.)

Thats just silly. If this is true I should be and would be perfectly justified in griefing the asses of off celest serenwilde and glomdoring. I shouldn't and I would not be justified in anyway to grief anyone.

I really would like it if people just left the corpses, say your leaving them to rot or what ever but really Just leave them.

EDIT: Hell in a raid situation whats fun to do is pick up corpses and throw them towards the enemy, they get a res and everyones happy.

Glad to hear you're alright Athana, hehe.

I have never had anyone return my corpse. Ever. Murphy killed me a few times when I was around level 45 on the water plane, I've been jumped and forced to pray by Athana/Ixion, and just the other day I joined a group on prime attacking a Mag group and they would not remove the eye sigil so I could be sacrificed, so I was forced to pray. I guess that's part of the reason I set my stipulation.

The times when I've raided Nil, we end up having to kill people around level 50ish who can't conglutinate. We always offer them to someone around for immolation.

Alright, so the last few hours Magnagora and Celest have been busy dealing with the recent Seawolf victory in the Inner Sea. At the start of it, a group of Celestians went to attack Ladantine and were greeted by a bunch of Magnagoran defenders. We were slaughtered, and practically all of us were forced to pray.

I logged for a bit and ate some food... when I came back, a group was assembling to attack them in the Inner Sea. We go and kill most of the Magnagorans there, forcing some to pray (including Athana, who we'll come to later..)

A little while later, the same thing happens, this time inside the Ship of the Dead. We go in, attack, and end up having casualties on both sides. Athana ends up dying again. She asks if I can hand over the corpse. I say yes, with a gold amount and a promise to stop hunting the Tidal Lords. She goes ahead and prays.

Where does RP end and grief begin? Did I cross the line? I feel awful now.

Sorry Athana

First, how in the world is not handing a person's corpse over griefing? If that is the case, that would make many of your own citizens griefers by your use of the word. Plenty of times they have killed people and not handed over the corpses. Second, Perhaps you should first seek to get your own side to stop doing what you feel is so reprehensible, before you try to point fingers at our side calling us griefers.

A Celest like that should not even be giving mercy to her enemies. OOC considerations about how much experience a person will lose should not even come into the picture. Simply put, each side should expect that no mercy will be given.

Geb, it's obvious that when they don't give back our corpses, it's not griefing, because we have this little skill called "Sacrifice" that makes everyone immune to praying 99% of the time...
