I've always wondered about this as I play a mercenary, Orvar Sif Sigurd, and although I haven't met this problem yet, I can see it becoming one. How does consent work for hired killers? People spend money, in my case I only accept OOC money, to be used for the killing of another character. However, once the contract is beginning to take place, the party that is being attacked can simply say 'I don't consent to death!' This makes the person who hired the mercenary now out of whatever amount of money they paid for the mercenary and the merc is stuck in an awkward position.
I'm asking not only staff, but also the player base as it effects them mainly. What do you think of mercenaries being in the grey area of consent? If proof of payment and an actual contract can be shown, does it allow them to bypass the consent barrier or should mercenaries be forced to follow along the consent rules at the expense of the contractor?
