give him til 5 PM EST this afternoon to post and then make a decision without his two cents, if he feels the need to explain himself after the fact he can do it a CCC. i expect to be able to get back the equipment on his character that belongs to duty though.
or duty can choose to roleplay this as a significant blow and warn against it's members venturing off into the swamps alone when half of lonertown wants their heads
whatever's not taken by the pking loners due to the pk looting rules (assuming they kill him when it's roleplayed out) should be deleted, if it went back to duty that'd be considered looting too
Considering that both factions got the short end of the stick with this faction hopping scumbag, pirate and I resolved the issue ourselves as per transparency agreement between faction leaders.
I'll mention one thing, I was only a Freedom member once. I don't know where people got the idea I was in Freedom twice on the character.
I forgot to reply to this but it had been explained to me that you went from Freedom to Duty to Freedom to Duty again. Even if you've only been in Freedom once you still went Duty-Freedom-Duty which is a massive ideological metronome as the factions are diametrically opposed at almost every point. While I won't pretend to be familiar enough with your character to pass an entirely fair judgment my opinion from looking at this on the surface is that you are swapping factions at a whim, essentially changing your character massively each time (by throwing away all of his friends and ideological convictions) but trying to hold on to your script progression. I can't think of anything that would have pushed Mudpie out of Freedom and into Duty on an IC level so that's the next best explanation I can offer.
