This is how we tried to spin the Sundar situation, but people kept right on RPing as if game mechanics determine the potentialities of RP. "He is in their jail, thus he must have committed the crime" was said, and I'm damn near quoting.
Nothing wrong with that. If he wasn't caught doing it, how would he have ended up in jail? Random nobles don't just end up in prison for no reason. There had to be *some* reason they got arrested. This is an especially good tactic if you want the guy to take the fall for the crime, for whatever reason. Maybe it will get you off the hook for his stupidity. Maybe you're not ready for the war that it will cause. Or, more often, maybe you just don't like the guy, and appreciate him doing something stupid so you can hang him out to dry.
