View Full Version : Theft from The Falcon!

Edit: Turns out someone actually broke in by bashing the hatch! I didn't even know that was possible, but it's pretty funny.

One of the people I gave a key to left my ship's hatch unlocked. I keep a variety of semi-useful things down there, like some extra arrows, random weapons, and other various things that aren't too expensive, since I'm well aware that it might be robbed at some point. I just found out a few minutes ago that someone took advantage of that unlocked hatch and stole absolutely everything from the cargo hold that they could grab, including even the set of oily coveralls I left there as a RP prop!

I didn't lose anything valuable, but I'm a little offended by this theft, and even more by its thoroughness. I could have blocked the ship off entirely from access by anyone other than key-holders, but I chose not to so that people could explore the top deck, see the ship, and get some of the custom foods and drinks available up there.

So in short, to the person who decided to gank *absolutely everything they could*, you're a GIANT DOUCHE.

That is all.

[Red rep] Don't be a dumbass and leave your home unlocked with valuables in the open for the taking. Your own fault entirely and not worthy of a whining thread.

Congratulations on completely failing at Reading 101.

Edited to add: Oh, and also being a giant douche. Welcome to the party.

So someone else left it open - not you. So you didn't really choose to keep the ship blocked off from others outside of key-holders.

You still can't read, buddy, and you're looking for logical inconsistencies where there aren't any. More broadly, you're blaming the victim and trying to justify that blame by attacking the victim's statements. I left the top deck of the ship open to anyone, but there's a hatch amidships that leads to the cargo hold that I keep locked.

Look around Landing for Wintersylph, Nuadjha. She has all your stuff. She came to me earlier saying that she found her way up there and was making some IC theories connecting you to Kenstrom's storyline Rook villains. She OOC whispered to me that she couldn't put the items back on the containers and whatnot but that she would give them back but hasn't been able to find you. I also told her to look out for Eugenides and make a post on the officials in order to get in touch with you.

This thief should be hanged from the rails of the airship as it flies over elanthia. To show the citizens what happens when they steal from Nuadjha.

Keelhauling takes on an entirely new meaning with an airship over a boat. "No, no, not another forest! Oh, God, a mountain!!!!"

Sounds like it was a theft of goodwill, though, so no worries. She's not in game now, but I'll try to find her later.

Yeah, I'm sure she didn't mean to steal per se, but I was still really uncomfortable about it. She wanted me to come loresing to your (teleportation?) obelisk because there's an obelisk in the Origin of the Lich King visions that were revealed a few weeks ago.... Seo told her she wasn't comfortable breaking and entering without at least talking to Nuadjha first, lol.

BriarFox
02-16-2013, 11:07 PM
Haha. Nice call, and thanks for being the intermediary there. That obelisk does take one to a chronomage room if you touch it.

BriarFox
02-16-2013, 11:13 PM
So, Wintersylph and I are chatting and she returned all the stuff. It turns out that she hired a warrior to BASH the hatch in so she could explore, because she was worried I was in trouble with the Rooks. Interesting, and deeply amusing, reason to break into someone's airship and take the stuff you find.

Also, cue note to a GM to fix the bashing issue ...

Hahaha.

Apparently the lock is not pickable though - she said she tried a locksmith first. So there's that.. I guess.. ? lol

Appearantly she's not the only one who got onboard and did some exploring. I found a slender charred black stone sigil wrought with sharp-peaked waves in TSC earlier, and I'm willing to bet it's the same as the one I saw on the Falcon. Shoot me a PM so I can get it to you if so. If it's not, sorry for being mistaken.

Still offended that someone "robbed" your airship?

Something is quite amusing about a RP whore who cry's (out of game) when "robbed", only to find out that it was done for IC reasons.

I still want an airship.

I like how you keep trying to find inconsistencies where there aren't any. Did that impress your high-school lunch-table crowd?

First off, being upset IC and OOC is the first and most reasonable response, and there's no disjunction. Second, RP whore is an insulting and unimaginative term, not to mention wrong, as anyone with real evidence and a clear mind could tell you. And no, by the way, I'm not bothered about it any longer. Now it's just funny. Kudos to her for managing to break in. I RP'd with Wintersylph for quite awhile we she gave my stuff back. She seemed to think I had inside info about the Rooks, which sadly I didn't.

In a grander sense, I find it honestly pathetic that you have to grasp at such thin straws in a flailing attempt to justify being a dick to someone who had been robbed. I shouldn't even be bothering to correct you, but I hold out an idealistic hope for humanity.

It was originally an auctioned private property. Ardwen won it, there was a clusterfuck, he asked for a refund, and then the airship became the grand prize in the first Draughtman's, which I won. Travels between cities. Very cool.

Original design was Tseleth's, I think, but Auchand coded the whole thing after he bailed and left everyone high and dry. So, you could try blowing Auchand!

He won it by just barely beating me. Then I gave him 150 million because I'm nice.

On the plus side when you push them out of the treehouse when you're done it's not as bad compared to when you push them off the airship.
