Incorrect. Anon Pheonix was already deceased. The decapitation was, as I understood, a way of preventing magicks from bringing Anon back to life. Anon was, indeed, dead at that point. Anon had fought a duel to the death with Lupton, and lost. I merely did what I could to prevent the verbal agreement that the loser dies permanently from being broken.

A tidy rationalization for the act of depriving someone of any chance at life. I trust that somewhere you have some sort of license to desecrate the bodies of the dead, then?

Ian,
Thank you, it seems someone shares my point a view, I thank you.

Cas,
Each post is making you look worse on the subject. You are trying to twist your words to make it seem like Anon was so dishonorable that if he was not decapitated, he would roam the rings. This is, however, totally incorrect. Despite what many of you think, Anon did have some honor in him. He would have stayed dead and not come back to the rings even if he was rezzed.

As far as I look you sir, are the liar. You say Lupton has lied so many times in the past but your recent posts about Anon were lies. *You* took off his head for one reason. *You* wanted the pleasure of having his head. You wanted to have his blood on your hands.

Don't try and make yourself look good and say "you were preventing magic." As Ian was saying, if he could come back to life and roam the rings again, than he'd be in a sense, alive. But since you wanted to have some entertainment, and cut off his head, this makes you the murderer. He can no longer ever roam the rings *because* you disallowed it. Not Lupton.

Now Cas, lets hear your damn apology for the incident.

And stop your horse crap on the boards.

~Dustin.

I stand by my previous statements. The killing act was reprehensible, but at that point, the death was unavoidable. If I had stepped out of my bounds on that ancient eve, I duly apologize. My issue with Lupton on this particular incident was that death has no place in the rings of the Arena, but Anon probably has more blame to shoulder than him. So why mention Lupton's part? Cause he can actually respond back. I repeat: I only took action to seal
the stipulations of the duel. In retrospect, yeah, I was out of line..and again..I apologize.

Yes, you were out of line. But I appreciate that you took the nitiative to apologize. I'm sure Anon would appreciate it too.

Dustin,

Were you even around when Anon roamed the realm? Why do you think for him? I mean, I wasn't around when this Anon-guy-thing was about, but I know for sure you came around after me.

Maybe Cassius didn't do a good job.

No, but I had connections, and I knew what was going on. You'd be surprised what I know.

What are you implying there Mr. Starke? If you are implying that I am Anon you are mistaken. As you said in your post, you were not around when it happened so therefore you'd know for sure there is no chance that I am Anon.

Actually, no, that wasn't what I was implying.

I'd say institute a "3 strikes and you're out" policy, but poor Drake would have retired the side by now.

Val,

Try to keep that woman in line and have her perform ONLY those jobs that are within the scope of her duties, please. The protection of the rings, as far as I know, does not fall under the auspices of Standings Keeper.

To be blunt, I don't have the janitor cook my food and I don't like the idea of the Secretary of the DoS weaving magical protections for the preservation of the rings.

If she's incapable of capably performing her main tasks, I shudder to think of the job she does on he extracurricular spell castings.

I am sure, Cas, that Anon appreciates your apology immensely. I know I would if I were him. Especially under the circumstances.
