all kills are "murder" in this game. and your more likely to be punished for killing a criminal than a random noob. welcome to salem....
Without a government, might makes right. Killing a criminal is no less criminal than murdering a noob, this game lacks inbuilt morality entirely. Morality therefore lies in the hands of the players to create, and specifically to those players strong enough to enforce their morality.
Hiring a ranger is... well it's fairly dangerous. Never let them near your leantos, and try to pay a portion in advance, a portion on kill confirmation. And confirmation should be a screenie of the base of said murderer torn open with a corpse in it at least. Even that can be faked. It's not uncommon for the murderer to take their own kill contract, fake it, and take the money.
As for this discussion: It belongs in the House of Burgesses. The "rangers" of the world read that forum more often.
