This is generally incorrect (barring a strict liability regime, and even then possession implies control which you can argue did not exist without knowledge of the contraband's exitence.) In the above example, the purchaser would be exonerated. Possession typically requires intent. Unless the purchaser knew or should have known that contraband was within his possession he would not be guilty of any crime.

Yes, he might be arrested, but the general process will leave him with zero culpability. Kind of like how the purchased account was banned and subsequently unbanned and Eccezan was declared innocent.

As I asked before, should purchasing an account impute the guilt for the seller's crimes to the purchaser? Whether or not purchasing an account should be legal is not the same issue as to whether or not purchasing an account transfers liability from the transgressor to the purchasing party.

In your example you assume that the purchaser would be guilty of smuggling illegal firearms, when such is not the case in real life, nor is it the case here vis a vis purchasing accounts.


Xasten rocks! <3

This thread just drove home the folly of Rants and Flames for me. Here we have Xasten, definitely one of the most thoughtful and well-spoken posters, attempting to reason with Tasslehoff, whom no one will ever accuse of intelligence or even self-awareness. Could there be a more pointless exercise in futility?

I can compare it to when I talk to my cat, I know he doesn't understand me but I feel the need to tell him its dinner time.

I feel Xasten talks to them in the similar manner.

I still don't understand how you buy a character tagged for MQ and not know about it. Why not ask a GM to check if the account is flagged before you go through with the purchase? I'm disappointed that Ecce didn't do his due diligence before purchasing the account.
