Assassins: Allowed to Kill the Annoying?

However, John Norman could reveal a successful bad ass woman of the black caste, I'm waiting.

LOL. If JN ever grows enough balls to do that, I will personally ride the subway from the Bronx to Coney naked.. or at least as far as I can get before I get arrested.

... I feel pretty secure in the knowledge I will NEVER need to do that.

My friends over the past week have been invovled in city-wide rp that invovled the BC taking over the city

Another question would be why does it seem that there is always some fraction of the black caste in SL trying to constantly take over cities. It seems to happen far to much.

All it took was rumor and superstitions, of the dangers of low caste and its rising to power, to keep it in check in the books. And if anyone got wary enough to doubt the validity of the belief. It only ended up confirmed with the great failure of Pa-Kurs ambitions.

This seems conviently forgotten in SL. Perhaps next time some new black caste leader decided its his turn to take over the next city. It would be nice to see his own caste rise up and murder him for the audacity and presumption of even expressing the thought.

This is enough to convince John Norman to do it.

I am reading the e-book version of Assassin at the moment as I don't have my paper copy, so I can't quote page numbers and what not. But on the subject of whether or not an assassin would reveal his mark to someone, I have this to say.

In the House of Cernus, right at the beginning of the book, Cernus asks Kuurus (Tarl) for the name of the Mark. I rather have the feeling that he 'would' have told the slaver if he knew himself who it was that he was hunting.

"May I ask," enquired Cernus, "for whom you wear on your forehead the mark of the black dagger?"

I would speak of these things, to some extent, with Cernus, for it was important, though perilous, that he should understand what puported to be my mission. It was now time that certain things should be revealed, that they might leak into the street of Ar"

As we don't have much else to go on, I'm gonna say it's ok to reveal your Mark, so long as it suits your purpose to reveal it.
