Shooting at robbers - your opinion pls.

[Beans]

Hello,

Today this happened:

I was patroling the Kavala - Agios, looking for people who need help. At the copper processing, I saw a guy, so I was like - ok, he is going to the copper trader, so I go there to hide and wait, if somebody will try to rob him.

And what happened is, that he was really being robbed by I guy, who came and pretended to be selling. Then, when the guy I was protecting (we haven't had any conversation so far) decided to leave, that the second guy started to shoot at my "friend". So I killed him from far away.

Of course, this raised a speculation, if I am allowed to do this or not. So I am curios about some more opinions, if I can do this or not. 

Because there is no other option, how to protect people - what am I supposed to do? To stand at the copper trader and increase the chance of letting myself killed? I am not such a protector, that I would risk my life so much...especially that I still have a lack of money and a death is a very painful thing for me. (So I am not like a police, who can interact with the robbers, because if they die, they have new stuff for free I guess).

I am doing a personality check - I want to know, if somebody is going to rob somebody else - but he can't know that I am near. So I need to be far to see but not to be seen. If I hide somewhere nearby, I loose the few important seconds that can decide about the life or death.

If I wait hidden nearby and with the beginning of the robbery I start "Don't do that, or you'll die" - that will probably lead into a deadly fight, that I do not want to take part in.

So is there even a place for a character like me on the island, or do I need to "adjust" myself?

The guy I killed told me, that If I want to do that, we have to be organized

you need to warn before shots are fired. end of.

As @Neo mentioned, on this server, some form of warning, or initiating in RP before you shoot is essential.

This can come in 2 ways in your situations, you can either shout yourself from a relatively safe position and warn them (but make sure you're within range to be heard over voice). Or you can let the person you are protecting know that you are there to protect them, and they can warn the robber on your behalf. Just make sure again that you are in range to hear the RP and be 100% sure that the person you are protecting has warned the robber to stop.

Honestly though, doing anything on this server alone is not really that easy, you're always as a disadvantage. The best way to get around this, is to operate in a small group of people. You can then have someone in your group to warn / initiate and the others can take safe positions to dispatch the bad guy if he refuses to comply.
