An invasion in which Garr can get involved! Go Garr, own them rats.

Love you Jolena!

[HarmNone]

Ummm...somebody had better go find out what is chasing them rats from the sewers!

HarmNone wonders what hideous creature is down there...

1) Why are people sitting down with rats running around all over the place? Is it because code-wise they're not attacking you, so you don't "have to" roleplay the fact that there are filthy disgusting rodents crawling all over your body?

2) Why would -anyone- intentionally try to pick up one of these things? They're not fluffy adorable pet rats you find in the pet shop. They're feral rabid rodents probably the size of your foot.

Just because the code doesn't make them a menace, doesn't mean you can't play the situation realistically.

Sewer-rats != cute pets

You should open your view of what RP is.

[GSLeloo]

Hey, that's rat abuse! Those poor little rats, they can make good pets too! They just need love and attention, go find one Bestatte and befriend it!

I hope you fall off your role-playing high horse and break something...

[Dighn Darkbeam]

One cast of 435 should clear that whole mess up, and take care of the rats too.

They are in fact the size of cats, from what I remember of the DESC RAT.

And I doubt very much that everyone considers only fluffy, cuddly animals to be worthy of pet-hood. Didn't we just see a thread about snakes as pets somewhere? And come on, that's in real life! Imagine what could be going on in Elanthia!

[GSLeloo]

I had two pet snakes... and we also have two different rats as pets. I'm sure in Elanthia they could be trained to be like guard dogs.. huge teeth to fend off attackers!

Larger than a domestic cat, the giant rat stands over a foot high.

They're also extremely hungry...so I don't think just sitting there'd be smart. Not to mention they carry disease (the black plague, which killed off a third of Europes population was carried by fleas that fed on rats).

Too bad they didnt have good 'ol 113 back then, eh?

Fat lot of good 113 did for the Red Rot ;)
