STONING - everyone read

[Monad]

A few people have raised concerns the new stoning rules due to the fact it is effectively stopping the game 100% for another person.

Not quite true. You're stopping it only 20%. You still have 80% of your characters left to play with just fine. The scale in imprisonment is nowadays 2-14 days, and I think that's the risk what robbers have to face if they rob people. It's not that huge of a punishment to not play one character for few days if you compare it to a possible hunting gear lost which you have collected many months and loose it in a second.

Its a game sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Even if its months work on the stake, why the heck make other unable play the game. Main char is always main char even if its robber one. Think it as a gamble when you go outside guard zone, perhaps you this time kill the robber?

If you dont want to lose all your stuff in "one baba swing" dont go outside the fucking guard zone with those armours, hunt naked or something i dont know. Its not my decission. But i atleast wont be jailing you for playing the game the way its supposed to be played.

ivan.
what if your char was killed and you would have to spend MANY MORE HOURS than what you play in 2 weeks, just so you could HUNT BACK your gear?
and NO, you wouldn't have the possibility to do it faster by robbing more people. and NO, you wouldn't have any spare gear, you would be forced to hunt so that your char was any good.
2 weeks (max) in a stone is better than be forced to spend hours and hours online just to get back at what you were.

i would prefer (by a long shot) to stay out for 2 weeks, no worries, i'd just play some other chars meanwhile, than to know i'd have to waste those 2 weeks powerhunting just so i could get back at the point i was.

I would think why the heck i lost that gear to begin with and fix it so that in future suchs situations wont occur, because its not profitable for me. Seriously put some thought in the words "Dont use what you cant afford to lose".

EDIT: FYI: at bests when i used to farm monsters solo on baba i made 100k in a day... 1.4mill gear lost within a second?

Thanks Monad, in that case I think that's reasonable. I assume the duration scales with piety? Should be like, ya, if you get nailed by a HP on his own... 2-4 days or so, but if you got like 2-3 priests concentrating on them, then ya, you're an idiot and deserve to be in that stone for a longer time.

Yes it's dependant on piety.

Very true but giving ability to control other players playing is something that gm's only should have correct? Imo its just as reasonable as giving us ability to loot your bankboxes also.

EDIT: Its just something that players should not be able to do, simply for that reason it should be completely removed. Priests have already HUGE advantage when compared to any non-religious char imo it should be left for players to punish the robbers by killing them when ever you meet them and patrolling around to protect people from robbers, being avaible for .maydays at all times. Etc.

EDIT2: Handle the problem yourself rather than ask for systems to do it for you.
