What did she expect? To disappear for a while and have you guys just be like "Oh, we haven't seen her in a while. It's been so long, I totally forgot she killed our baby. /shrug"?

She does seem to think that if something happened more than six months ago there aren't allowed to be consequences. My character told hers that she'd never get custody of their children because she's an unsuitable mother, based on little things like her trying to commit suicide while pregnant (twice) and dallying with dangerous, evil, soul-rending powers.

Her response was that it was past behaviour that wasn't relevant. These things happened over a year's span until six months ago.

I don't know what kind of courts she thinks exist.

Of course! I bet if she just tacks on a few more months after this little baby killing incident, and she can totally be cool with you guys and trusted with the kids!

*Sigh* Ignoring the fact that she's obviously not exactly right in the head, she actually expects to just GET AWAY with killing a baby? Seriously? How NOT to Play A Villain 101 right there.

Then again, when I play villains, I rather like people trying to corner them and seeing if I can come up with logical reasons for them to get away, that not only entertain the other players, but me as well. (And eventually, the villain WILL get caught, or kicked out.)

Holy heck.

I had heard of some varieties of crazy in terms of WoW RP, especially for characters with rather flexible definitions of evil, but this takes the cake.

Has the player utterly lost the plot in terms of what is and is not an act of evil you can come back from? What was her excuse going to be for doing this, did she actually have some idea in mind of what would cause the evil to simmer down or was she just going to pull some garbage out of nowhere that explained how it was not her fault?

Overall I feel little more needs to be said other than some acts of evil are not going to beforgiven or fogrgotten. So let her go ahead with it and then when she asks why the character is forevermore kill on sight point at the event and frown.

Yeah, my tactic is to, more or less, give her enough rope to hang herself with.

After all, half of the crazy you probably heard in WoW RP probably was her to begin with. Or did you make yourself happy and repress the memories of those long evenings spent in Hammerfall? ;)

I seem to remember idiots dancing on tables and then it goes sort of fuzzy. Though the name Bonebrain keeps coming back to me?

She has enough rope. She has the rope, the gallows, a weight on her legs, an exeuctioner who makes rather bad jokes that would be considered tasteless at the best of times, and audience and, just, for kicks, he grave under the gallows with a headstone that says "don't even think about coming back."

Shit like this is pretty common to various forms, realms and genres of role Play. That said, the world that Blizzard created seems to attract the nutters like moths to a flame ( ... )
