[@KoL] See, that's where the split between the Sweepers as an ideal and Sweepers as the organization changes. The rumors and accusations? A vast majority of the Sweepers are unaware of or simply think they're lies. The cleaners and the erasers, the ones who would be doing theses "murders" are the minority and largely a secret from the Sweepers as a whole. But there's no such thing as bad publicity: if people believe that the Sweepers kill people, that would make people ensure they don't cross the sweepers. And for those like Eclipse Princess killing off the Sweepers? All she's doing is taking out players who fancy themselves DG vignettes. Asahi is the only real Cleaner she may ever face, and he can do enough harm to her in Deep Ground. Until Eris because an actual threat to not the Sweepers, but the Erasers, Asahi won't get the orders to harm her. At worse Arms Slave will fight Eclipse Princess.

Besides, it's not as if Eris' hands are clean of blood either. Call it self-defense if you want. Asahi has done the same. He finds people who are causing trouble for his Friends or the Sweepers. And he deals with them. And if they want to deal with violence? Perfect. Or are you going to fault him and everyone else who uses gunboat diplomacy?
