rules of engagement/geneva convention/bushido as an RP tool - Coin - 01-21-2014

I have lost count of the number of times i have wanted to warn someone that their behaviour is contrary to the rules - but i didn't know how to say it, until last night, when an inspiration particle hit the right receptor in my brain:

in kusari, i will be saying "be careful, your actions threaten the code of bushido"
in lib/rhein/bret "you should follow the geneva convention"
in gallia/hispania/everywhere else "the rules of engagement"

Please be advised that i won't be threatening people with sanctions, just trying to get them to read the rules.

Despite I tries to keep talk inRP as long as possible, I started using ooRP chat for this. Most of the time, this problem is with new players and they are usually even more confused when you use such inRP terms and don´t get your point at all. From my experience, even using "your IDeintification (ye, hint in capital letters on beginning) papers doesn´t allowed you to trade/fly this ship" what should be quite clear is sometimes not enough for them to understand.

The Geneva conventions don't state that you can't attack with a force that is 100% sure to win.
