I don't mind pickpockets and things IG. But don't be a fucking pussy... Leash never slammed.

You notice Scavage slip out of hiding.
You notice Scavage reach into your satin sack and remove a smooth columnar violet amethyst!
You turn quickly and grab Scavage's wrist, causing him to drop the amethyst back in your sack!

You gesture.
A wave of dark ethereal ripples moves outward from you.
Scavage is forced out of hiding as he is knocked to the ground by the dark ethereal waves.

Whoa, I didn't know the healing gems were stealable. That totally sucks ass. Oh, and yeah, he's rapidly getting on my KOS list, thankfully I have a lot of summoning lore, and his pure potions don't work on my cursed gems. He had one stuck to his hand for like 45 minutes one night.

hah, nice

[audioserf]

Someone slamming when caught pick pocketing is one time I think Reporting is alright. That's blatant mechanics abuse and they take that type of thing fairly seriously. It's not like you have other recourse if you don't feel like room camping the person indefinitely.

[Drakefang]

I will say this, Scavage knows how to turn the justice system in his favor very quickly. I don't care for him, one bit. However, he was quick on his toes. So, me disliking him and what he does doesn't change the fact he's mechanics wise.

Just a note of forewarning for those out there. I went to jail real fast after sweeping him and having my greaves flare on him and stun him. Plus, he does much of his thieving right outside the north gate. So, it seems the night watchman/justice doesn't matter there.

[Fallen]

You can Challenge THIEF theft, which is automatically accepted. At that point you can pound on him all you want and you will not be accused of assault. You'll still go to jail if you kill him, though.

Never knew this

It was born from idiots using the justice system like a shield, like this ass clown.

[drigore]

Wow, that's hella great. Thanks!

[m444w]

Does it has a time-limit to the challenge?

[BriarFox]

And do you have to catch the thief in the act to do it?

[waywardgs]

And would it work in a situation like this when the guy slams?

[Warriorbird]

I remember a few MUDs where slamming post pickpocket triggered an auto teleport to the person who just caught the pickpocket via angry guards or the local thieves guild.

[LMingrone]

I don't know why anyone would slam after getting caught picking pockets. I mean, pick pocketing isn't a really good ROI time wise. I always used it as more of a RP thing than a way to make $. I always 3x in PP on all my rogues. And getting caught is the way I made half of my friends in game. You're not going to get rich thieving. Might as well Rp it out.

[ravashaak]

And getting caught is the way I made half of my friends in game. You're not going to get rich thieving. Might as well Rp it out.

Made a couple of good friends this way myself, catching them in my pockets. If they played it well in terms of RP and they weren't a total ass about it, I was sometimes willing to let them slide. And like I said, I even made a few long and worthwhile friends along the way.

[droit]

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but CHALLENGE THEFT doesn't work if the accusee isn't in the lands so slamming still works in his favor. I have no idea what the statute of limitations is, either.

[droit]

>chall theft

While the challenge verb is to be used to settle consensual PvP disputes,
if you are caught stealing by someone, or kill someone without utilizing
the challenge system, that person will have a limited time to find you and
issue a challenge which you will have no option to refuse. They may choose
to challenge you to the death if they so desire.

In these instances, you are agreeing to PvP WHEN you engage in stealing or
murder. If you are not willing to risk death through these circumstances,
don't get caught stealing and don't kill other players nonconsensually.

Players cannot be wrongly challenged. If they are caught in the act by the
challenger, they are marked as the perpetrator.

[IorakeWarhammer]

I want to make a pickpocket script for Lich.

[Rallorick]

PP definitely needs to be reviewed. I've personally never seen it roleplayed well... I'm sure it has, but I've never seen it.

The short term of someone watching their pockets too closely is ridiculous. It should last like death sting... each time you get caught it gets more severe. Or give people the ability to add certain names to a short list of people their character is more apt to watch closer. At least thieves would be forced to actually pretend they have to RP a thief, and not just wander around being a douche about it.

In effect, it just seems like the only skill that's primary purpose is to harrass other people and act like a dick.

[Fallen]

If someone pick pockets, then slams, report them. Let the GMs deal with the guy when he signs back in. They should be able to tell from logs that he stole, then immediately logged after being caught.

Yeah, you get like a 10 second window where you TELEPORT CONFIRM to the person and auto attack with a pre-selected spell/ability.

He is wearing a crystal amulet, a weathered viper skin pack with an onyx fang-shaped toggle, some pitch black steel chain, some old imflass leg greaves, some rugged black leather boots with crimson metal toes, a brilliant aquamarine torc, a bone-inlaid fire opal barrette, a trilliant-cut dragonfire opal crown, a brass-bound leather badge, a viper skin longcoat, a dark leather sack, a mithril and amethyst bracer, a flawless gold ring, a silvery mesh weapon harness bound by thick vultite chains, a leather bag with a small iron hammer fetish, a ruby amulet, an extravagant viper skin satchel, some ripped viper skin gloves, and a thick spiked vultite greatshield.

Citizens, merchants and assorted dregs of society jostle against you before the great wooden gates of Wehnimer's Landing. Harried guards and militiamen try to keep the chaos to a minimum, but it is hard to keep track of those entering, let alone leaving, this large trading post. A dirt path encircling the wooden palisade of the town leads east and southwest. Nailed prominently to the wooden wall beside the gate is a sign you really should read.

I posted the pertinent parts, you getting caught, and then slamming...

I didn't think it was important to post me stalking you until grew enough balls to come outside the gates.

Yeah ... running away and slamming after you get ewaved a few minutes later is not somehow better than slamming right after you get caught pickpocketing.
