Stoning and Malediction are fine I think.

No one forces you to rob, its your choice and you should know what your getting yourself into. Sure the risks involved in robbing are very high but so are the rewards. As for the 'stoning ruins players gameplay' arguement I think its possible to argue that robbing someones hard earned indy clothes and auropians is ruining their gameplay.

Lets not forget Repsak's immortal words, "a robbers life should not be easy."

edit:

I also dont agree with Geryn in that I do not think there should be a loot limit as that would favour the rich opposed to newer and average players. Instead id suggest increasing the time limit of how many times you can rob the same person (which is currently 2 weeks i think) to 2 months or something like that.

One thing I always wondered... what did Nox exactly do with the riches they got?

I suspect they weren't into solo hunting too much (they were the ones whose fear of god was the most noticeable). Did they just mule the stuff (by legal or illegal methods) to their blue alts?

If they liked to use impossible to see colors for halting, I wouldn't wonder if they muled.

The whole point of Nox was to stop the free fall of cloth and high end armour prices. The clothes were stored in a house and some were sold in order to fund poisoning training ect Then Nox went inactive and the house that had all the robbed stuff in decayed.

And that's a better idea.... how exactly? I'm confused.

When he says spammed he means using it all the fucking time.

There is no limit at the moment, but practically robbers cannot rob anything. It is apparently legal to lie to robbers - you have 10 000 gold but only give them 12 or even 0 for that matter. At least I've already met a handful of people bragging about it, also IG.

Kinda. If you get stoned while alive, it kills you, yes, you're right. If you show as a ghost, you can still be stoned.

You're right, Max, if you can RP better than the person robbing you, there's a pretty high chance you can escape. Unless the robber kills you, he won't be able to see if you're lying or not. Just don't get killed lol

Hmm what about making it not to kill you just teleportin you to somewhere and you will return to same spot where you were imprisoment at after the time... so it wouldnt even give loot it would just simply get enemy away from sight for 10-15minutes...

or change it to 2hours max and giving you ability to choose where to get teleported to when it ends(britain? luna? cove? etc) aswell no way to get back before times up (so it wouldnt be like banish takes few mins to get back)
