Once as I was on my way to the west gate from Pallie guild and powerwalking I caught a "theif" in my pockets. Not sure of guild, so in general theif works...Anyway, I advanced, soul be damned...he retreated, numerous times saying I didnt need to be so hostile, I just kept advancing, and eventually he figured I wasnt going to quit, not exactly sure why, but I issued a challenge, and before he could accept, because he had screwed around so much, in come the town guards and arrest him. Leaving me with no justice. So I shrugged my shoulders, went to the guard house and accused him. I was determined to get something for my loss...well he finds me later and says its not nice to challenge and accuse....since when do we have to be nice and why should I care if he got caught? I was really confused, is there an ethics course I missed on justice? What would you fellow guild members have done, and what would you "theives" have expected to see?

<<Kill him if ye get a chance...

our acting interim guru , said it was very unpaladiny of me to actively seek retribution from thieves. But oh well. I agree kill the bugger if you think it serves your purpose. I will be maiming and making sure they cant move.

Sure, You had the right. You were gonna fight him and take justice there, but the Guards snatched him up, so in turn you accused him. What, he thinks that simply because he accepted a challenge that everything should be ok? Ya right, he might as well accepted and seconds later, stopped the challenge admitting you better, That is no retribution. For his stupidity, You should not only accuse him, but continue with th kill. Then when he says soemthing, shove a fist full of poison in his mouth after the Cleric resurects him.

I dont see honor personaly in slaying thieves, a lot might, i do not... 'if' i am annoyed enough i will accuse and get the soul lift, and i know a lot of thieves who would rather die in a fight rather than loose bonus cause of accuse.

It is against town law to murder within city walls, that is why we have a justice system.

This is MY personal oppinion and i find it rather ironic those shouting 'we are not realm cops' think they are at the same time judge, jury and executioner.....

Michael.

To be honest, If the thief is near my own level <ya, as if i would ever had caught them? ha!> i'd actually accuse, THEN proceed to kill, or at least mame. However, I like the way Rock handled things...Halt, and shove a nice strong batch of poison in the mouth. Michael has a good point though. Death is just an inconvenience now. Loss of ability, or penalty to abilities is a lot worse than a 1 minute rejuve, depart, and begin stealing again...

Yup and that long standing tradition is out the window with halt lasting as long as it does ;)

This is against policy. I'd be careful if you intend to use this method.

<<How is this Against Policy? usually I don't bother with accuse cause I never think about it but still... how? Accuse = 'Maybe they'll get caught yay" and Murder = redemption.>>

You can kill or accuse, not both...

> If you know of somebody who is actively stealing, and you don't report them, then you are an accomplise. For that reason, a Paladin might be arrested and thrown in jail. A deep feeling of guilt and embarassment would make his soul turn black. All this because he chose to avenge his pockets, instead of doing his duty as a Paladin, and protecting the innocents of the population?

No I don't agree this makes us sound too much like vigilantes. and that is something we are not. Alerting the Guards would be more in line with protecting the the innocents of the population. By both accusing and murdering you are taking two bites of the apple, That kinda thing might be ok in TF but its not in prime.

Michael.

.. but of course, if the accusal fails (which it sometimes does), feel free to killtha thief.

Least then you geta soul bonus out of it.

<<As far as a thief going to jail, they have ingame-cookies that help them with this. Their names get errased from the wanted boards, and only if they are really stupid do the guards grab them. The bonus hit for being caught and accused probably isn't ALL that bad, because if it was, why would a thief bother stealin from you unless he was out of town where he can't get accused?>>



dunno where you think you got that information, but its dead wrong.

the only time your name is "erased" from the wanted boards is when you aren't logged into the game. Then its back again when you log that character back in.

The town guards, particularly in crossing... are set up to grab folks right away as well.

Our cookies don't get our names erased, and I have every cookie our guild presently bakes. I wish to Damaris it were that easy.

>And to the 'If your accuse fails, then kill them" Wouldn't that break the rules that the sensitive Paladins in Prime have setup? "Oh You just accused him, it did't work, but thats teh one you chose, how dare you go and kill him now...'

No. The way I see it, the paladin tried to do the 'right thing' by accusing, but the guards didn't believe him, so he chose to take justice into his own hands. He knows a crime has been committed and at the cost of his own money(murder fine) and his standing(soul) he's going to see justice done one way or another.

It is all a matter of perspective, but doing both will get you in trouble if you pick the wrong thief.

>And to the 'If your accuse fails, then kill them" Wouldn't that break the rules that the sensitive Paladins in Prime have setup? "Oh You just accused him, it did't work, but thats teh one you chose, how dare you go and kill him now...'
