Message: <blockquote data-quote="Felix" data-source="post: 3315886" data-attributes="member: 3929">Please show me where in my posts I have claimed such a stupid thing. If you're going to put words in my mouth, give me some credit.If the head of the Sapphire Guard is not allowed special powers in the event of treason, you're quite right. It can still be a lawful killing as well as an evil killing; the two are not mutually exclusive. Had Miko killed Belkar, would it have been unlawful? He was lawfully arrested, thrown in jail, escaped, murdered and desecrated, assualted an officer, resisted arrest, aggrivated assualt with a deadly weapon. I don't see that Belkar's killing and Shojo's killing are on equal ground. So I don't see that Miko would not have been within her lawful rights to kill him. However, Shojo, whom she was bound to obey, ordered her not to. It is from that order that killing Belkar would certainly have become unlawful. That strip, which you referenced to show that paladins:"Actually, we do know from a previous strip that Miko was specifically not allowed to assume judge/jury/executioner status with Belkar." This strip shows that she was not allowed to assume j/j/e status because of Shojo's order. Not because she is unable to do so because of other standing laws.So my prior claim stands: We don't know if she had it within her powers to assume judge/jury/executioner status because that would require knowledge of the laws of Azure city.And it may very well be extraordinarily clearly spelled out in Article VII, Section 3, Addendum iv, Paragraph 2. Simply because we arn't shown it, does not mean that it can't be there. It's the child's logical fallacy: just because you can't see something does not mean it doesn't exist.I'm not saying it does exist, merely that it may, and so her execution of Shojo could be Lawful as well as Evil.</blockquote>
