Gem thieves

[Harwen]

I think most people in this thread who told Rakel to pipe down have a lot of crystals. I wonder what they would say if they had none.   8o

Err, sure we have alot of crystals, but thats just cause we\'ve been here a while, and you know what? Anyone with over 2000 crystals in rubies have had quite a few diamonds stolen right under their noses, (heck, I took one right under Drak\'s nose while he was afk ) and you know what, its really not worth whining too much about, even now, that they\'re worth some ridiculously small amount of money.

Just wait until you have monsters to worry about, heh, then maybe you\'d have some sort of valid point worth complaining about, or defending at least.  :baby:

Besides: You didn\'t kill anything to get that crystal, the only thing you did, is press the arrow keys and move the mouse around in the right places. You don\'t own something unless you possess it in your inventory, there\'s not way of me, following you to know that you didn\'t see it. I dont see half of the crystals I walk past.
  :]

Its a \"free game/country\" I can follow you around if I please, I\'m not breaking any rules.    Wether I decide to be a jerk...well, thats a different story. So please dont sink to their level, big big about it, the time you spend complaining you could find yourself a better crystal, or more of them.  

If you\'re worried about this becoming a trend, well, thats an entirely different post. Just don\'t expect an innovative, new, anti-\"theiving\" system to be introduced in MB, thats just silly.  :rolleyes:

I wish I took a screenie... you were NOT ontop of the ruby. You were  BEHIND me to my left side. I ran up to it then you run up to me and call me a thief. So ~ at you.

They might of been but you have to take lag into account.

Yes, I was lagging when I went up to the crystal. Rankel really must be a stupid noob and deserved to have the crystal taken if s/he couldn\'t take it in time. Suenan tells me rankel was on the crystal, but I saw no person on the crystal. And yes, I do remember this event clearly.

Jee, I hope this thread gets CLOSED soon.

Hint, this is more dumb and annoying than amusing.

\"Cry me a river\" should have been said five replies ago, I regret not saying it earlier. :rolleyes:

No one is under any obligation to read these forums. Spam is useless and annoying and should be controlled but if people still have valid points to make, let em. If you do not like what\'s being said, stop reading it. Clicking the Next Thread >>  link is even simpler than stealing a crystal.  )

And now, back to Unreal Tournament and gun-barrel justice...

[Vengeance]

Any system we make to mark a crystal as \"yours\" is subject to the same \"stealing\" criteria as this thread if you use another action instead of pickup.

\"I was just about to greet the crystal when Player X greeted it before me!\"

At some point, you have to accept that someone beat you and move on to the next crystal.

Quoted from Rumblebelly
i\'m kind of on zetsumeis side with this...i don\'t find him to be dishonorable at all in fact i find it fun to try and get the crystal before he does and if he get\'s it first then it\'s his....i have to admit that the first time someone took a crystal i was about to pick up it pissed me off. but then i realised how stupid it was for me to get mad over something i can\'t even hold in my hand\'s and i started to laugh....now when someone does it i just go off and try to find another..........

Yeah, I don\'t think of Zetsumei as dishonorable either.  When I said I had \"Zetsumei fear\" it was a compliment.  :-)  It just means that I feel the need to grab it a little quicker.

And when I was beaten to an emmy on the ledges in the pillar room because I suck at getting around on those, it just made me want get better at that so I practiced (eh, gave me something to do ;-)).  

And nice to see you around Rumble.  We were wondering where you have been.  (I miss your \"har har har\'s\" ;-) )

Hey, I can see why you were annoyed, but I don\'t think it\'s worth complaining about.
I had an emerald stolen from me, that I did greet, and went to pick up. I was angry and demanded it back, but there was no way he would give it back.
I bitched about it for a while, realised what an idiot I was being, so I apologised and went off hunting.

I\'ve never had any problems with Zetsumei, and if he takes a crystal from me, I won\'t get angry. Even if it\'s a diamond. I\'m looking forward to CB and if I don\'t get rich from MB so be it.
Farewell.

Oh as for ethic systems, etc. This is a Roleplaying game, they are merely roleplaying, the \'do-gooder honourable crystal hunter\' and the \'sneaky crystal thief\' good or bad, it\'s part of the game

EDIT: To clear things up, I do not have many crystals either

[Moogie]

This\'ll all be ancient history come CB anyway. So says... the MAN.

*Does Chrono Trigger impression*

*bounces madly* It\'s \"The MAN\"!!


Btw, this doesn\'t apply to any post still here, but... please try not to get all worked up and start using bad language, whosever side you\'re on or whatever you believe.
