Regardng duels to death, is every character on the island supose to know Overlord is unkillable?
From an IC perspective.

...Dude. He is a 20-foot tall monster wielding a sword and armor made of screaming human souls. You may choose to have your character react however you like to those facts, but seriously. Who the hell would think they actually had a chance?

Actually, he assured my character in Thalmarkin that the souls are silent.

They "die" in combat, so why not in a duel?

Geronus

I'm not saying they couldn't. Just that no sane person would think that he'd be able to do it single-handedly in a one on one duel.

What is Freedom? - ye can tell; That which slavery is, too well; For its very name has grown; To an echo of your own

T'is to work and have such pay; As just keeps life from day to day; In your limbs, as in a cell; For the tyrants' use to dwell

And also false.

Huh, I figured they wouldn't follow silly human conventions like "warnings".  Well color me mistaken; so, Overlord will be dropping bans on people who are flippant/call him out/are openly defiant (if he hasn't done so already) and executions will follow on the second capture?

Provided huminaty loses, there are like 3 options for a noble:
1. Become Overlord's slave- provided he is still accepting slaves.
2. Get on ship and flee the island.
3. Fight to the death.(or opose till death you could say)
The third is the most honrable one out.

He has to follow the same game-mechanics, so there will be bans. However, some characters can be executed immediately without a ban. Adventurers, for example. And I capture plenty of those.

Can he ban battle captives? If so, then it's not the same mechanics. If not, then is he really gonna be able to truly execute all that many slanderous noble as you seem to claim he will?

I said at least twice that there are no changes to or new game-mechanics.

So the characters you capture in battle will continue to slander Overlord, as they'll be immune to execution, as will infiltrators after their first offense?

What was the point of your announcement, then?

There won't be special treatment any more. Death Duels will be accepted now. If you're going to slander Overlord, expect 7 days of torture. If you don't, you might get released a bit earlier. And Adventurers won't be safe any more either. It's a change in policy, it's good it's been announced, or otherwise people would have probably complained too.

Unfortunately, that will likely happen. But at least the infiltrators will shut up now after I've banned them, and if other people try to play hero while inside the Netherworld prison, I can torture them twice daily for the full 7 days, steal their gold so they can't pay ransom - all things I haven't done so far. And if they overdo it, I could use the deportation option. Basically, whatever options there are, I will now use them when I feel like it.

Great, this should certainly make things much more fun. :D
