You and I have always had a history of mutual respect, so I will respond to your post, in spite of your snyde tone. I know you to be a more sensible woman than you pretended to be.

Achaea is involved in two alarming debates at the moment, one is regarding kidnapping, the other, city defenses. In my opinion, both arguments are about the same thing.. being kidnapped to die at the hands of city defenses. In fact, it is not the city defenses themselves that are the problem. They do what they are intended to do, and that is give people a place of respite. The extremely powerful and highly abused power of kidnapping in the hands of people (who have not read or summarily chose to ignore HELP PLAYERKILLING) is really the root of the problem.

This guild master is fully aware that skills vary, and everything is a trade off. But as murder goes, kidnapping should be a trans skill in an otherwise empty skill set. It is instant and unescapable death, repeatedly, and without risk to the assasin. Grossly overwieghted. As for us not having it, I can only say that having the finger on the button is a very large responsibility. The gods can "zap", and this ability is entrusted to them by Sarapis to use wisely. Kidnapping is entrusted to anyone who gains the appropriate skill. My point being, that most of the kidnappers in achaea are not as responsible with their zapping as the gods are. If the playing field can not be leveled buy comon sense, then I will be forced to find another way of doing it. If left to my own recources, I can accomplish many things, but my greatest concern is the time involved and the damage done to achaea in the mean time. (It was intentional and forthrigth, that I said Achaea and not Infernals).
Good day Kyasha.
