I want your thoughts.

Rogues tend to get caught in the doorways. If it did manage to get into a crafting area, the inexperianced there shoulld have run.
The player could be roleplaying an evil alignment and decided to have a "henchmen" or somthing like that, evil people kill things.

This is why we need guard AI. Post a couple  of guards in Oja, when somone drags the rogues into the streets etc the guards  within eye sight jump on it and hopefully kill it.

RP or not. This action was intentionally forced upon players by Player 1. There is not question about it, action should be taken.

I vote that we eliminate anything interesting from the game!  Only then will people be able to grind in peace!

I agree, then while we are at it lets have a /killNPC command implemented so we dont have to actually worry about them anymore.

/killNPC Ulbernaught

I am soooooo l33t.

Naw, that's too much of a bother.  NPCs should just automatically die when they come within a certain distance of your character.

You should also automatically loot any NPC you kill, too.  And there should be no limit on how much you can carry.

[Idoru]

Ahhhh, your one step ahead of me in these things. Makes me wonder why the Devs never thought of this.

Maybe its planned to be implemented in the next update,

If the person who did this did it in a town not overrun by rogues, maybe somewhere with guards (like Hydlaa)... I'd expect there to be consequences.

If this person is accused IC... They'll ask for the proof of their crime.

The people that identify her... would they RP/IC recognize her (very unlikely) or only OOC recognize her and still throw her name-tag around as if it was IC-evidence? (in which case she'd be facing unrealistic consequences because her identity would be known from OOC information, which is bad RP.)

Ultimately, if anyone is being sought... it's a helm-wearing fenki in Oja. (and there's quite a few people that would fit that description!!)

Hey I know maybe it would be funny if I bribed a gm to continuously slay player characters whenever they surfaced from the death realm, aww heck why should we wait that long. After all

Secondly, simply by playing the game you accept that your character could die at any time for any reason,

I wonder if $100 U.S. would tempt any of them. <----------- isn't hyperbole fun? Any GM tired of being such give me a PM and we'll have a good laugh, of course I'll laugh even harder when I don't pay up....  Oh wait, you want an IC excuse...hmm I wonder if a GM might like to portray a high level priest of one of the gods and curse some character to the same effect if I donate a couple thousand circles to the temple renovation fund.  That works for me!

A while back there was a major rogue attack in oja where no one was safe on the streets. I'm sure a lot of characters were killed who just happened to be in the way. I don't remember hearing a lot of sympathy for those people.

This demonstrated just how dangerous things can be. History is full of people who went off in to less protected areas to live and work and they died as they weren't prepared.

If someone is actually rping an evil character and they managed to get a rogue to in to Trasok's and attack then I say more power to them as long as if they are discovered they also rp to submit to whatever punishment is dished out.

[bilbous]

I do not actually care about this one way or another as no measly rogue can hurt me much before he dies unless I am oblivious for half an hour or so, and that is only if I have things in my hands that prevent me from auto-defending. I just think that if you are going to allow exploiting limitations in the game engine in one case you have no business complaining if someone does it in another. Consistency should be the rule and exceptions should be very exceptional which this seems not to be.

This might be a good time to remind you of this from.

Are you saying that the witnesses could not identify and point out the accused to the authorities because all fenkis look the same??

I think the difference is that your quote from the code of conduct is aimed at OOC incidents of that nature. I  have been threatened many times IC and I dont expect or want those people to be banned for it. They are just adding colour to my experiences. (still waiting for some unwanted attention well, it would probably be wanted)

I should say, that yes, it would annoy me if I lost all my stock or came back to find the sword I was heating was now a high quality piece of dust ( I misss saying pocket dwarf) but I would just get over it and learn the lesson not to drop my guard too quickly in future.

Only its exectly this what is fun ;P for everyone.
People who actualy mind about every tiny bit of something bad, what hapened to them, are spoiling fun for others

But if you really believe in these strict rules... I have no idea why this topic?
Ban the one who brought the rogue
But if you really want to hear us, this proves these rules to be faulty/incomplete/whatever. I don't know how others feel, but i think the rules were defined like this to stop OOC forms of the above. Only what when some people are capable of accepting it as IC while, others can't?
