whirran & other members of bamathis's order have been shrine dusting (omei, haern, ethne, damariel) for weeks post-ceasefire, raising shrines in the ithmias and other parts of duiran's sphere where it is explicitly clear that they aren't welcome & whirran specifically has been shouting about killing people who criticize his god pretty consistently (not to mention actually killing some of them), + now we're coming across a bunch of murdered albedi worshippers set up as warnings and one literally put up outside a citizen's house as a threat, and i'll give you one guess about who the obvious assumed culprit is IC

and i'm hesitant to believe whirran isn't enjoying himself with the conflict, or else why would he keep doing it?

all of these are valid ic actions, to be clear. do it. but...

it's a little weird to push the narrative of wanting people to embrace rp consequences (for vortex pk rofl) but then argue about consequences for much more concrete rp actions. if bama's order (or certain members of it) doesn't want conflict, stop pushing it? there are valid approaches to playing an agent of strife that don't involve antagonizing literally everyone you can at the same time. If they do want conflict, but want something more organized and set between themselves and one other order specifically, battlefields exist (please use battlefields, they're a spectacular system with in-built ways to handle numerical advantages). if they just want open conflict then i don't really see the reason for complaint. if other members want less conflict, they should be, IC, pressuring the members of their order antagonizing people IC to chill out, because whirran for example has not made a secret of it.

all that said, i don't disagree that things should be more clear to someone why they're dying when they die and this is where doing things like emoting comes into play. but you really have to know your audience with this because half the game's playerbase is just going to run away and pat themselves on the back (and who can blame them when for literal years we've had people ganking wordlessly? this is not a one person problem) or they're just going to walk past you on accident because we're all busy people.

re: Iesid's character, I literally watched him call Bamathis an oathbreaker to His face and get brain splattered like a month before Farsai because the characters have a long history of dislike for each other after Iesid allowed Bama worship in Duiran during his stint as Voice. Recent IG happenings have only made this divide more clear.

as far as ganking vortex, i don't bother unless it's someone who actively ganks places like fracture or vortex, b/c you've clearly shown yourself to be willing to participate. but they're Open PK areas for a reason, and taking cause out of them to kill people who ganked you is such an obvious no (literally read help vortex specifics all the way through) that i don't really see why that has to be addressed any further. it's a plain and clear rule break, you know what you're doing, i know what you're doing, it's not subtle, don't double down on it lmao.
