The town is in an uproar over a mere death. How strange...the majority of inhabitants here have declared themselves as warriors, and yet they object to seeing death? From my understanding of the situation, the victim understood what he was getting into. It is not the concern of bystanders to judge an event that was agreed to by both parties.

That's the problem. There were never any rules stated nor release form to sign for the participants. We didn't arrange this tournament, yet we're responsible for the law and order of this world.

Even if he's not at fault, he needs to be taken into custody until we fix this mess.

[gensephiroth]

Are you suggesting that if I were to engage in a duel, I would be expected to have both parties sign a waiver? That is simply ridiculous.

[kaikishyoku]

No, but I don't think there was an understanding on both parties it was a fight to the death. And in that case, it's murder. Silv never had to go that far. But he did. Now he's going to face the repercussions.

[gensephiroth]

Engaging in a fight with weapons always entails the possibility of death. He should not have participated at all if he was not prepared for the outcome.

Because it was unsanctioned for one and you obviously don't understand the situation- the killer could very well be lying, and if you hadn't noticed it isn't those that have declared themselves as such that have gotten upset.
Stop being an apathetic fool and try to actually think about it longer than five seconds.

I would watch your words, Miss; I may begin to take offense.

The situtation is that two warriors engaged in a battle, and one emerged. I do not see an issue with this. If I am engaged in such a battle, I do not intend to pull punches to satisfy the morality of a naive spectator.

[cronos_athena]

And so what if you do, am I supposed to be scared of you?

This didn't happen in the tournament, if it did the whole thing wouldn't be this big. This isn't about the spectators it's about knowing what's right and wrong and knowing you can't get away with such actions despite the situation. As soon as the other is revived he's going to have to be spoken with as well.

[gensephiroth]

You are a bold girl - it is no wonder that you are so outspoken on such an issue. I wonder whether you would retain your attitude through experience.

What is 'right' and what is 'wrong' is only relevant in relation to one's station in life. You are aware that the victim of this can be revived; how then, is it murder.

[badass_bells]

At least somebody else gets it.

[rebel_wo_a_clue]

...I thought the clerics revived the guy, anyways...

[gensephiroth]

Which is yet another reason why this is a ridiculous event to take a moral stance on.

[cronos_athena]

He still killed the person, just cause their alive doesn't automatically means he's off the hook.

[rebel_wo_a_clue]

Yeah... but arresting the guy for murder when his supposed victim's still alive seems kinda...stupid, don't it? And like the white-haired dude said, if they both agreed on the fight, then whatever happens, happens. When you fight, there's always the risk of getting killed. Anybody that fights knows that.
