Message: <blockquote data-quote="Felix" data-source="post: 3317989" data-attributes="member: 3929">I was talking about uncertainty; namely that you can't be certain that what she did was not Lawful. After you agreed with me that this is the case, I did not press the issue and moved on to your "reasonably infer" business.Except that in the strip you cite, she is not allowed to do so because of an order from her superior, not because she is not otherwise empowered to do so.I am advancing the possibility that Azure City possesses a clause concerning Martial Law. And just as Martial Law does not mean "kill who you want when you want", neither does my proposition for Miko.Unless that's what you think martial law is, in which case, no need to continue.The burden of proof is not on me. I suggested a possibility. You countered with saying that it was not the case. If by that you meant to say it is impossible, please cite your own sources. It is not my responsibility to disprove when I'm not arguing conclusivity and you are. I simply have to show the possibility.1. Azure City is in a state of emergency with an army of hobgoblins and undead outside.2. Shojo admitted that he had operated outside the remit of law.3. Shojo admitted he has used the Sapphire Guard at his convienience for his own ends.4. Shojo admitted he corrupted the legal system for his own ends.  5. Miko assumed j/j/e powers in a manner which can be consistent with Martial Law.6. Miko holds a position of authority consistent with someone who would be able to declare Martial Law.7. Miko has consistently demonstrated Lawful behavior, often to the exclusion of Good behavior.1. It is likely that Azure City's laws allow for Martial Law.2. It is likely that the Sapphire Guard, during times of Martial Law, is the governing force.3. It is likely that treason carries a sentence of death.4. It is likely that Miko, who as the highest ranking paladin of the Sapphire Guard, and an extraordinarily Lawful character, would be familiar with the laws pertaining to Martial Law.Her act of execution was an Evil act, evidenced by her fall. Given the above circumstances, it is not implausable that the execution was also a Lawful act."a) That Miko has special powers ... and b) That Roy sneaks off to eat babies every once in a while.... The answer is, I think they're both pretty far-fetched."My apologies. You did not say they were both likely. You equated them by saying they were both far fetched. Starting from the highest ranking paladin being able to declare martial law, how much further would you have to fetch to reach Roy snacking on baby corpses?</blockquote>
