Hey there everyone. I hope everyone is having a solid week and is looking forward to the weekend as much as I am.

Lately, role-play to me has been fairly frustrating. As well as other factors, none of which I could possibly hope for the contributors of this wikia to assist in my solving, the laws and by-laws of the Kingdom of Stormwind is producing issues for me.

It is not that I resent these laws or wish them to be cast away; heavens no! Those of you that know me as Vincero know that I helped to propagate their usage in the Stormwind City Watch back in '09 and '10. The Clergy of the Holy Light, my guild of over three years, has willfully and enthusiastically been a patron of these laws since they were introduced onto Moon Guard from Earthen Ring by our own Maxen. The Clergy has went by these laws and accepted them as appendages to guild lore when few others knew they existed whatsoever.

These laws have lasted through countless council fads and I truly believe they will withstand many more. Councils come and go (thank the Light), but the work and effort that have been put into making the Purple Monday project more or less the accepted norm has passed the test of time. However, the system, just as any system deriving from accepted tradition, has its weaknesses shown threadbare when application is attempted.

It seems to me that the council(s) that, for the moment, are around to claim these laws and enforce them are ignorant to the history and - truly - the workings of the laws in general. I write this not as a reproach to them, but be that as it may, that is my observation. This is particularly problematic because, as I have expressed, my interpretative tradition of this fictious legal system is ingrained in my role-play and something my characters feel strongly about - and are often all but crucifies for standing up for by the individuals who come along with an attempt to become involved with the workings of the city. Therefore, I would like the following questions answered so that I may endeavour to dispell the nastiness that has, for whatever reason, surrounded my role-play project. If any of them can not be answered, please do not strive to make up an answer.

1- Who is in charge of changing or amending the laws?

2- Who is in charge of interpreting the laws?

3-Who is in charge of enforcing these laws?

My questions are numerous, however to get dialogue going, these three will be sufficient to lead into the rest.

Forgive me if this all seems petty. As I have said, it is souring my role-play experience, and with continued indirect confrontation, I fear genuine bad blood is being created. Grudges are things best confronted than suffered in silence.
