Current Looting Rules & PVP - PLEASE READ

[Dante]

Okay I've been getting a few messages with regards to PVP, Religions and Looting.

Firstly I want to address the issue of RP pre-battle/attack. I appreciate that you want to attack and use time to your advantage but this is an RP server and we do have standards, we're not a Russian PK server. If you are going to attack an enemy please before doing so spend at least a minute RP'ing (if the person starts attacking you, casting recall etc you can attack of course).

"For an attack to be acceptable there must be a role play reason for the attack, and this reason MUST be made perfectly clear to the victim BEFORE the attack start (before the victim receives the *’Name’ is attacking you*). Using a macro to quickly fire off the reason for the attack is not allowed for 2 reasons, if you fire off the macro the player will have little chance to even read it, and secondly because it will lower the role play quality if each attack will be stated with the same macro every time. After you have told your victim the reason for your attack, you must wait a few seconds until before you can attack, to be sure the victim have a change to read the reason. This rule will have to be enforced strictly to prevent situations where the attacker fires off his reason and then attacks right away. If your reason for an attack is revenge, insults etc. you must have evidence for those reasons in the form of a screenshot."

As the rules state, having a macro or a pre-wrote RP phrase to justify a kill AND a dry loot is unacceptable.

Secondly with regards to House looting; (I may be wrong)

We have secures for a reason and locked down containers are susceptible for looting; if your key is looted during a robbery/war and the enemy accesses your house and loots your non secure containers, this is still legal. It does not fall under the arse hole rule as they are not abusing game mechanics or deceiving anyone.

If they went to your house with the key on a merchant and muled it over, that's completely different whilst also you'd be a fool to have not changed your keys by then. Even better would be to store all keys in your bank box or an accessible secure pre pvp.

Finally, the take home message:

IF your going to PVP and get involved with religions, expect to die, expect to get looted and expect to bloody RP.

IF I see poor RP before an attack whether it's religious or not I will be issuing marks/punishments.

If house robbing was illegal Iktomi wouldn't be a GM he was the freaking master of house robbing.

I used to have a custom Automap map with everyone's house locations, all their alts, and all the house friends alts!

That's messed up right there =P... maybe I'm not being careful enough with my keys...

If you looted a house key. Iktomi was the guy you gave it to for a 50/50 deal.

Nothing most of us didn't already know and stick to.

Random question .. say I have a pet running around somewhere and get *is attacking you*, is it legal for me to run in with a precast and yar yar?

There are other questions regarding minor 'loopholes' or 'grey areas' within the whole system I would like to query but can't think just off the top of my head right now for the most of them.

One thing I did wonder is it possible to be a mercenary guild for imperial to say .. have reason to slaughter anyone found on lord britishs land?
Would work both ways ofcourse, basically two kingdoms fighting each other and anyone is found on their enemies land gets brutally executed, if one kingdom had a set of mercenaries to do such bidding ofcourse. Whatdya think? Legit?

well, if telborea can kill ppl for being on telborean soil...

Well your property is under attack and they have not RP'ed it with you or another party so I say yes, you can defend yourself. If anything, those attacking your pet without RP is breaking current pvp laws.

And finally if it's RP'ed properly on the forums, in game I have no problem with it. If you loot, it may be considered glorified robbing. Just be aware. Manhunts may begin!

Yeh I was pretty sure it would go down as 'glorified robbing' - but then would that stop the mercenary guilds alliance with zed religion?
Im just trying to spice things up a little as currently everything is getting very bland if you know what I mean.
