It's a nice thought that a character should not be able to be indefinately captured. However, Kamon did leave TRF claiming he would never return, and everyone here is more than aware that his return is for the specific reason of seeking revenge on Kyric.

Therefor, I would say that while escape is certainly a possibility, it should not be automatically granted within a certain time zone. Kamon essentially forfieted all rights to his character(s) when he left TRF and left himself in a situation where he could be captured.

IMO, if he is able to RP (or otherwise secure) an escape, then he escapes. But since he left his character for dead when he left, he should not be granted a Get out of Jail free card because he decided to come back and attack Kyric.

Ive already submitted to him multiple times that if he really wants revenge on us as a group for OOC crap, he should start a new group with a new character and an original/good storyline. Maybe our troops killed his parents, maybe his homeworld was phaged, something that would make some sort of sense.

As for this whole Kamon thing, give it up.

I require a full RP providing when Lahout was made a Seeker for his people. Doesn't exist? Hes not a Seeker, what the hell is he doing at Kessel?

Your analogy doesn't hold water, because TRF is very liberal in how it allows people to play their characters, but it is not liberal in letting people mess with the timeline of a role-play.

You are not allowed to tell Kyric he cannot defend his planet.

No, but I am allowed to ask him to be present when an RP about his planet is happening, and if he can't be bothered to be present, then allow the person who was covering his rear to complete their job.

And, I am allowed to tell my fellow RP'ers that they may not 'reach back' in time and state that something happened previously.



You can huff and puff, and blow all you want, but it won't change my objection. Kyric's post amounts to four paragraphs of "I have ten bajillion ships, the planet is locked down, owned sucka."

Now, if Kyric had stuck up a detailed post that had a decent history of Kessel since BDE took it over, about what has been happening, and perhaps (shock, horror, gasp) actually tried to contribute something constructive to the timeline and storyline of the RP he posted in, I wouldn't have an issue, and if I did, it would have been ironed out by now.

But he didn't, so I do.

Kyric: No you wouldn't have. We both know it.

Demo: I don't have any problems with Kyric. My "revenge" plan for Kamon wasn't against him specifically. It was against all of BDE.

That's BS, Kas, and you know it. If you're allowed to play a Jedi simply because you want to, then Kyric is certainly allowed to lock down his planet, especcially in the face of a rather convincing list of valid reasons for doing so.

Kyric's post never states he's gone back in time. From the thread, one can assume the timeline is a week or so, at most. Therefor, Kyric's post can be taken to say "with the arrival of Lord Zen's flagship (now), the planet was effectively under lockdown."

There is no effect on the timeline of the story.

Simply put, from this moment forward, Kessel is under lockdown. Why? Because BDE is setting the system up to build a Death Star! They are clearly going to begin procedures to defend the system before they start building their super weapon.

Your argument holds absolutely no water. You're trying to say that because Kyric didn't post with a complete list of every ship, prison guard, and location of survalliance camera at the beginning of the thread, he's not allowed to dictate how things are run on his own planet.

Kessel is a prison planet. The word lockdown should not have to be said in the RP at all - it should be taken as a given. That applies even assuming that they are not preparing to build a Death Star. The latter simply enforces the fact that the place is defended.
