The Law of King Lotor
**Until a player government
system is in place and there is a way to arrest someone without having to kill
them, enforcement of all laws will be strictly RP. Anyone not going along with the RP will
simply be ignored. We do not wish
to participate in the pointless pk/loot wars common among the power
gamers**
