I was not referring to only you Gloria, this happens all over the game.  
In a place where duels are legal you will not be seen as a murderer for 
killing someone.  In a place where duels are illegal if we were going 
purely rp (though I doubt it will happen) historically you would not be 
seen as a murderer.

Perhaps you did not read my post.  The game was not deciding anything.  
People from your realm would decide, I'm sure there are more then a few 
people there that are reasonable people.  If not, do you really want to 
be there anyway?
