So, asking for a friend: let's say someone was a falsely accused war criminal wanted on an intergalactic level back at home. Would he have any reason to worry about showing his face here?

Oh my god. I didn't think you'd actually do it.

[cargobay]

It's a sincere question.

For a friend.

As absurd as this entire post is I'm curious as to the answer, in terms of how our host would deal with the undesirable criminal element.

[text]

[cargobay]

Alleged criminal.

[look]

Not if he doesn't text everyone telling them.

[cargobay]

Just trying to be clear on the rules here. For my buddy.

[ roy can't tell if this person is joking or serious, but either way, there is truly only one answer to this post: ]

Do the same rules apply for an actual war criminal?

Also asking for a friend.

[ is he joking, is he serious, the world will never know.

the answer is 50/50 ]

Hey, let's not muddy the question too much here, buddy. These are very different circumstances.

Great answer. Love it. Appreciate you.

[look]

That's our justice system? Don't be bad?

[buff_for_a_nerd]

Fair enough.

Has someone been harassing your servants?

[zaptime]

Wait, are people actually murdering people here!? Why is that something that even needs to be said!??

[zaptime]

There are WAR CRIMINALS HERE????

[cargobay]

Alleged war criminals.

[ 'Asking for a friend.' ]

That depends on what the war criminal did, I guess. Or, what they didn't do.

He kidnapped a puppy. The Royal Puppy.

[ he blew up a star and killed millions. except allegedly, not really. ]

[purrtagonist]

Only if there isn't a bounty on his head.

That's a joke, by the way.

[since he is well aware that text won't convey his dryness very well. but seriously, "falsely accused?" he's been there]

[cargobay]

Thanks for the clarification.

Looks like he's in the clear, though. Thankfully.

[tranquilforest]

[Intergalactic is throwing her off a lot but the rest of the question seems entirely reasonable...]

Perhaps one could try faking one's own death.

[reincarnivorous]

Or change your face.

Sorry, your friend is the one who could do that.

[ text ]

[buff_for_a_nerd]

Probably not here. But if we turn up in a world that's aware of those accusations, it might be trouble.

[ Speaking as someone who's ended up on a few high profile wanted lists himself. ]

[cargobay]

Yeah, but they're like... intergalactic, not inter-dimensional. So it probably won't be a problem. Right?

text

[lonered]

Falsely accused? Actually falsely accused?

I suppose the real trouble is if we wind up somewhere that knows this friend of yours.

text

[cargobay]

Well, I mean, considering the nature of this place, we probably wouldn't be there very long, right?

[bulletbiter]

As long as it is false, then he has no reason to be afraid.

[ you know. from an actual criminal to a falsely accused one. even if julius was conned into doing it, he's not proud of what he did. ]

[cargobay]

Yeah, he's feeling pretty good about things right now. Been a while since he could go out in public without hiding his face.

[thetenthstorm]

That's what friends are for, bailing each other out of poor choices.

[text]

[cargobay]

And what's the poor choice in question here?

[smallprince]

I don't think, that it would be a problem. Unless someone would show up who had falsely accused him.

The words 'falsely accused' bring back unpleasant memories. He knew what it was like, to get accused of having done things you've never did.
