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.

[brainthingie]

I'm aware it's sincere. That's the issue.

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.

[cargobay]

Anyone ever tell you you worry too much?

[cargobay]

Alleged criminal.

[look]

Not if he doesn't text everyone telling them.

[ 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 ]

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

[cargobay]

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

[cargobay]

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

[cargobay]

Great answer. Love it. Appreciate you.

[cargobay]

Alleged war criminals.

My point exactly. If there are actual war criminals here, then what's your concern?

I haven't seen a single police station or military official, outside of other people who have been dragged here against their will, since I've arrived.

I'm certain you'll be free to continue your escape from the law for whatever you did or didn't do.

He kidnapped a puppy. The Royal Puppy.

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

What exactly did or didn't you do, anyway?

[ you know.

I appreciate you, too, Akmazian! ヽ(>∀<☆)ノ

Let's just say I'm a little worried about getting that rumor started again. For my friend's sake.

Your friend needs a more subversive friend, if they want to avoid suspicion.

I suggest playing stupid.

[ from one (former) fugitive of the state to another. ]

In all seriousness, I've been through this charade before. We're outside of any and all jurisdictions imaginable. The word 'intergalactic' means nothing to me. The steam locomotive is the height of technology, where I come from.

[ au!germany bro. ]

[brainthingie]

[after astoria's broadcast]

I worry appropriately, thank you very much. But your friend seems to be in the clear.

[look]

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

Industrial Earth. Seriously?
