[Sean of the Thread]

How many times have you got caught?

[Drew2]

Well like, everytime you see only one from a person? They either caught me or walked off.

That's why I either steal in the crypt or from dead bodies in the field. :D

My new hobby:

* Person just bit the dust!

225 person
steal person

Booty and exp! Who needs hunting!?

[The Ponzzz]

Damn Tayre, yer picking from people with some high perception...

[FinisWolf]

Perception helps you less then actual ranks in pick pocket when it comes to catching a thief. Or so I understood it.

Finis

[The Ponzzz]

Heh, no... Was testing with my friend. I was 30 at the time he was 60. He was singled in perception I was doubled in pick pocketing. He caught me almost every time... Then with his ranger who was 25 but doubled in perception, he again caught me just about every time... No pickpocketing skills with either of em...

[Artha]

Were you alone (or nearly so) when you were doing this testing?

[Jolena]

Gah, I so wanna use my pickpocket who doubles, but she's only 17 :(

[Drew2]

That's 4 more ranks than me, noob.

[The Ponzzz]

I started pick pocketing at 8... Just need to have balls and get ready to die alot...

The testing was done in the small park with about 12 people in the room.

It's been pointed out several times in the rogue folder. Thieves are ALWAYS at the disadvantage when someone if training in just perception. On top of fumble attempts.

[Drew2]

The funny thing is, I'm a high level empath, so not many people can do anything about it anyway!

Teehee!

[Trinitis]

It's even more fun when someone notices they are missing gems, and all the blame falls on some poor hapless rogue who was standing in TC looking for healing.

Ahh, memories.

[Toxicvixen]

It was usually you who had done it anyways, poor rogue my ass! :D

Yes, I realize that dork. However, it seems that it's based somewhat on the train of the thief as well as the ranks of perception of the mark from what I saw on this thread. I think I'm going to wait until she is around 25 first.

I don't do it to be sneaky. I do it to be a pain in the ass.

The entry foyer to this enormous granite crypt is stark, adorned only with grisly friezes sculpted in low relief into the walls.

A shadowy arch curves overhead and leads deeper into the inner sanctum of the sepulcher. You also see a cracked urn.

[Graveyard, Crypt]
The entry foyer to this enormous granite crypt is stark, adorned only with grisly friezes sculpted in low relief into the walls. Bands of bluish-green ahnver are inlaid into the stone in thin strips just below the ceiling throughout the entire structure, bathing the rooms in a subtle light. A shadowy arch curves overhead and leads deeper into the inner sanctum of the sepulcher. You also see a cracked urn.

179-degree tangent here...

Intuition
A person's innate or instinctive ability to sense things without conscious deduction or critical analysis. It is distinctively different from Logic in that it refers to the ability to make decisions or leap to conclusions with little or no overt supporting evidence, relying more upon subconscious "hunches." Included in intuition would be what is commonly referred to as a "sixth sense", prescience, perception, and luck.

Aside from training in perception, does *anyone* know if any given character's intuition bonus (or perhaps other stat bonuses, as well) will somehow tie into stopping and/or spotting thieves?

Why do people say that? As if empaths are like saints. I mean, fine.. they're martyrs. But it's not as if their healing is entirely altruistic. I help and go rescue people and try to help out when I can, and it's A-okay to steal from me just because I'm a sorcerer :( Even clerics don't get that much of a special treatment. :P

You're ruining the market, Tayre. Wait till you get all your pickpocket ranks before you steal.

If I come back they're going to be all "I bet it's Wezas, he's an empath thief just like that Tayre I caught yesterday" and I won't be able to blame it on random rogues.

IMO empaths shouldn't be stolen from because they can't go to the bank all the time, same with clerics.

explain to me how an empath can't goto the bank?

Crawl west
Crawl bank
Crawl arch
deposit all
stand
go arch
out
e

Proceed to heal

Explain clerics too, as that is the most retarded thing i've heard in a long time.

And from a rogue's perspective, wtf? Why would a rogue care if someone can make it to the bank or not, in fact, don't you think that those that can't make it to the bank would be the best characters to steal from?

I get shit from other rogues all the time saying, "Don't steal from a rogue, bad form" Blah blah blah, hearthstone rogues are the worst with this. Unless you're a thief that Alfue respects, there is no way he's going to stay out of your pockets. It's that simple

The point is, a true thief in my opinion, does not care who you are. If they see what they want, they'll take it regardless of whom it's from..

[Bobmuhthol]

<<IMO empaths shouldn't be stolen from because they can't go to the bank all the time, same with clerics.>>

As a warrior, I can't go to the bank all the time because I'm doing warrior shit. As a wizard, I can't go to the bank all the time because I'm doing wizard shit. As a paladin, I can't go to the bank all the time because I'm doing paladin shit. How the fuck is it harder for an empath or cleric to go to the fucking bank?

Feel free to post that program you have, since I p2p'd you a long time ago and never got my hands on it.

[Drew2]

Yeah, I'm glad GMs weren't on last night. I'd have probably gotten a warning for the shit I was doing in TSC.

[FinisWolf]

They were, they were just in the shadows. Trust me. They felt it necessary to tell my wizard he couldn't use his familiar to stalk his next kill.

Finis

[FinisWolf]

Aconitum says, "Well I've still got my 98 silvers..."

You reach into Aconitum's pockets and pull out 30 silvers.
You reach into Aconitum's pockets and pull out 37 silvers.
You reach into Aconitum's pockets and pull out 31 silvers.

(OOC) You quietly whisper to Tayre, "He is emptied out now."

[FinisWolf]

Tayre attempts to hum a merry little tune.
Amberain glances at Tayre.
Tayre strikes a heroic pose.
Tayre giggles.
Amberain softly says, "Dont srtat that crap with me."
Amberain glances at Tayre.
Tayre says, "I won't srtat anything with you." [LOL]
Amberain softly says, "Tayre is a thief here."
Tayre says, "Your mom."
Amberain softly says, "So watch yer pockets."
Amberain softly says, "Guess i go find the night watchamn."
Amberain winks.
Amberain stretches.
Luswenda traces a sign while petitioning the spirits for cognition...
Luswenda gestures.
A sense of peace and calm settles over the area.
Tayre utters a light chant and raises his hands, beckoning the lesser spirits to his aid...
Luswenda has informed you that their spell Minor Sanctuary lasts for 49 minutes, and you have adjusted accordingly.
Tayre swears vehemently enough to scour the bark from a tree.
Tayre just went south.
Amberain softly says, "Least i can see."

You reach into Amberain's pockets and pull out 143 silvers.
You do not believe anyone noticed you slip out of hiding.

==============================================

I waited a bit, but she didn't say anything.

A cloud of dense silvery fog suddenly appears. The fog quickly dissipates to reveal Tayre.

You reach into Tayre's soot black backpack and pull out a blue crystal.

Tayre drops some acantha leaf.
Speaking to Tayre, Aconitum asks, "Who'd you get that leaf from?"
Tayre says, "Your mom."
Tayre put a gold ring in his soot black backpack.
Speaking to Tayre, Aconitum exclaims, "Oh, a gold ring!"
Tayre says, "Also your mom."

You couldn't find anything worth taking. Maybe you should offer Tayre a donation instead.

Speaking to Tayre, Aconitum says, "My mom has been known to carry such things."
Tayre drops some ambrominas leaf.
Tayre drops a crystal amulet.
You carefully take hold of the crystal amulet while remaining in the shadows.
You put a crystal amulet into your pack, being careful not to reveal your location.

Speaking to Tayre, Aconitum asks, "Quite bold, aren't you?"
Tayre asks, "Bold? how's that?"
Tayre drops some acantha leaf.
Speaking to Tayre, Aconitum says, "Most theives have the decency to at least ..."
Speaking to Tayre, Aconitum says, "Dispose of their unwanted and wanted goods more discretely."
Tayre asks, "Thieves have decency?"

I was trippin` hard thinking Tayre would catch my rogue, and obliterate his ass. :lol:

Lmao... a lot of people try to steal from me now. Most only get 1 or 2 pulls off. Congratulations.

I don't kill thieves anymore. I usually join forces with them and we share marks.

Unless it's Foxs.

That's cool. I had the best time IG in along time last night when my RL brother brought his rogue IG and we teamed up to torment the hell outta crypt.

Then as a nice follow-up, I had the interactions in the park. It's truly amazing to me at how much easy rp you can get into thanks to stealing.

It's great fun!

GODDAMMIT Amberain pisses me off GOOD FUCKING CHRIST she is such a retard.

You had to of loved where she said she could see, then my rogue stole. :grin:

She is one of the biggest fucking lunatards alive. Just search the forums for her name and you'll see what I mean. She's graced us with her presence a few times.

You notice Tayre reach into your inky black longcoat and remove a pink rhodochrosite stone!

Speaking encouragingly to you, Balstrund says, "Heres the other way ooc i was away from my computer when she raised me ."

Balstrund r teh linguist extreme.

[Viridian]

Tayre brushes against you, then shrieks loudly and withdraws a bloody stump from your lacquered case. Must've found the jaws in there. That'll teach him!

I :heart: jaws. I also had a poisoned needle and a cursed gem in there. If someone is gonna steal from my Hadya, I like to make it interesting.

[Viridian]

yeah, but it's for my own amusement. I don't really care if they get something if they rp it.

I used to be a rogue and steal, I always liked a challenge.

Don't care if it Pwns me ;) you were the first to get caught by my jaws. I just wanted to share! That messaging is funny.

Remind me never to heal your cheap ass.

[Wezas]

He would be one of the ones you steal your tip from afterwards.

Or before.

I stole from quite a few that I ended up healing. They would say "a thief must have gotten my silvers" and either open up their gem pouch (which I helped myself to) or ran to the bank for more silvers for me.

[The Ponzzz]

Heh, in the landing? Yea, I'm cheap for shit... On Teras, for minors, I been tipping 2500... For bleeders, dragon gems...

[Augie]

Hey Wezas, that pickpocket tracking program you have, is it somethin you'd be willing to share? I'd love to get my hands on that to track my sticky fingers heh.

[Town Square, Small Park]
A small, shaded park fills an old vacant lot behind a row of buildings, the bright lamplight from the square filtering through the passage to the north to illuminate the area with a soft glow. A weatherworn grey marble statue of a stocky human in pioneer's clothing overlooks the park, his stone hat encrusted by the gifts of decades of passing birds and his right hand half-upraised as if it once held some now-missing object. You also see a Wehnimer's runner, some light leather, a wooden shield, a short sword, a simple maoral strongbox, the Septiego disk, an engraved brass chest, a flagon of Dragonsdraught ale and a short sword.
Also here: Khand, Sarenne, Lady Amaleth, Septiego, Vadric, Kristen, Psionix, Sinndel

You do realize there was, and perhaps still is ... who knows, a troop of rogues and other skilled pick pockets that would line up for dips in your bags whenever you and Grabs would do your retarded acts in TSSW don't you?

I don't know if it was the incessant and utterly irritating squeak or pure "bubble gumness" of your "roleplay" ... but we lined up in hopes you would get the hint.

[stonegonad]

So is it considered bad form to find someone's alt bard singing to gems afk and to just go ahead and take em all? Start with the container that they put orbs in of course.

?

[LMingrone]

No, that's how thieves roll. Keep up the good work.

Log please.

[stonegonad]

You ask Lornkrek to appraise the contents of an CONTAINER.
The dwarven clerk takes the CONTAINER and inspects the contents carefully before saying, "There are 52 items that I do not deal with at all. I found one piece of jewelry that I do not buy in container deals. I did find 256 gems that I'll give you 1601709 silver for, if you want to sell."
The dwarven clerk then returns an CONTAINER to you.

I'm not gonna sit around and edit the pulls but....that was a pretty good run.

[LMingrone]

Do it on any wizards duping wands too.

[Kuyuk]

ahaha, thats awesome.

Baller.

Although, with the nerf to PP, I don't think you can do it people way higher level than you or even a little bit of perception. Not sure though, I haven't tried it in years.

Probably Leash's sanctuary breaking amulet.

The fucking shield bash is so hilarious. A+

So the way you get in trouble with the law is when someone catches you themselves or if someone else in the room notices you reach to steal from another person? Any other ways?

They can report you to the law, sometimes they'll arrest you, sometimes they won't.

When my Warrior trained in pickpocketing 2x, c'mon, and ambush wasn't neutered ... and a bunch of other crap wasn't implemented that probably doesn't allow this any longer, the best way was:
