This among other things is why Kalag the Black, the Gor'Tog family leader was the best of them all. Honor. There is ALWAYS honor amongst thieves, people just tend to forget it or not care. Which irritates us those that DO remember Kalag and the code.

I think you're in the wrong folder. 3 Folders up. Where everything is decaying.

"Disagreement with the fundamental plan at this point is akin to supporting Richard III vs the Tudors."

This is it in a nutshell. Its all well and good to say," well, if you miss it restart it yourselves." We can't. It was taken away from us by game mechanics.


I'd rather play my necromancer, I have a better chance of Roleplaying "correctly" by staying out of town, thus not getting accused and locked open that way, than by playing a Thief the way they Should be roleplayed - stealing not to get caught- but for the money - as Kalag taught us <avoid attention and so on and so forth- when "MARK" used to be useable only on other players-- and thus getting locked open as a consequence.

I think the only time I really had fun when being chased down for stealing was back when I stole from Shapeshifter and got caught. He chased me all the way from shard to Riverhaven < was rather hairy because in those days you had to take the ferrys <it was before you could swim the faldesu, and it was before the 5th passage was "discovered". He put a bounty on my head for 10 platinum, which was a large sum in those days. I gwethed and asked if I killed myself if I could get the bounty. He paused for a moment and said .... Sure! And, since I was hiding in khri silence <which was really nice then because you could get on the ferry in invisibility and couldn't get pointed out by people or critters, as long as you kept quiet and didn't pick up coins or anything you really were pretty much immune > in death spirits under dunshade <i'd already deposited the coins i got from him in one of the banks along the way>, I just stopped the khri and unhid. <in those days death spirits could kill me fairly easily, they were around the hardest critters around, at least up north>. But he was a man of his word, and I got the plats for killing myself! :-)


Another story though, didn't have as happy an ending, but was about thief comraderly and getting in trouble for the cause..and having fun while doing so... When magic 2.0 came out, we thieves were restricted from using runestones any more. We didn't exactly like what the "heralds" had done, so me, bombello and a couple of other thieves decided to "blockade" riverhaven <again, this was before the bypass of swimming to haven>. So... we stole from any "fingerwagglers" that boarded the ferry, and excluded traders, barbarians and commoners -- and of course other thieves --from our "talents", and had a glorious time riding back and forth on both the ferries to and from Riverhaven. There was a group of mages, led by a couple paladin types, that decided to put an end to our "transgressions", and chased us around for awhile. <we kept jumping back and forth from one ferry to another to avoid 'em - they couldn't jump because they were in plate, we were pretty much stealing naked, <except for a pouch to put gems in>. Finally, word reached the "guild" and we were brought before the Rattler <although we were technically on Crows Turf> who gave us a lecture on "bringing heat on the guild", and put us in jail for a bit.

Naked runs and becoming avid Favor pursuers, I believe it is well worth the fun and the enrichment on the game.

What is a Paladin to do without us? How many more Rezz and healings will the Clerics and EMpaths enjoy giving.

Who will hire a ranger to track anything?

Moonies Gazing, Bards helping the perception of the possees.

Why, even traders bringing weapons, armor and selling pouches and bundles as people try to unload instead of seductively walking around towns with their riches.

As to Warrir Mages, I never know how those guys get fun, so I cannot foresee anything for them.

Lumps ahoy!

Madman.

>have had literally zero random "because youre open" deaths

Novice 10 minutes out of character generator learning FA at the empaths, no spoken/otherwise engagement other than 'Hello, thanks for the class'.

Sniped for being open and a novice.

Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal.

Adding nothing to the conversation since 1834.

Ahh... yes. My favorite time stealing is always when I get caught.

I was once ripping someone off on the North Road and got busted. He was lecturing me about stealing and I umm.... stole from him again. Yes, on purpose... and while apologising.

Needless to say, he was angry.

He shot me in the leg with a crossbow. I ran and hid. Then I made it to the empaths. AFTER they healed me I was wandering around town and I hear from the shadows, "This isn't over."

THAT time he put a crossbow bolt through the neck. I fell down and then he sat and watched me bleed to death.

I have to admit, he had GREAT presentation. And I still have the crossbow bolt 10 years later.... hehe.

I LOVE to steal from players. And with everyone running around with GOLD in their pockets these days, its been a thrill.
