New PVP rules #2

4) Player A and staff sits together and agrees that as long as they only keep taking the money they are free to execute their RP without being counted as robbers or something similar. -> Confusion and rule writing/adding/all the useless arguments avoided.

Is this just naive fantasy of mine or could this kind of change be seen from everyone?

I have done this. And we both know what the staff said.

There's another alternative. Keep the rules few and simple but write down the intention of any rule that operates in a grey area so that we know the motivation behind them. This is often used as a reference for interpreting rules and guidelines in professional life.

Rule #1 - Don't be an asshole.

Will a collection of your peers perceive your actions as:
a.) trying to bypass/exploit an existing rule?
b.) being more focused on ruining the game for others than for your own personal gain?

Yes to either of these? Then don't do it.

Think it might be legitimate? Test the idea out with your peers/GMs on the boards. Don't turn it into a flame-fest. Certainly there are some people who are black/white but many of us want to see a dangerous shard. Good example of this is the comments to my "new rules" or the support for Telborea to be able to use the "tax collector" line (even though it is clearly a robbery).

I dont see how it ruins the game for others in the slightest...

If you're clean looting someone, then that's pretty clearly more to send a message / piss them off than it is because you need those bandages, grains of sand, etc.

Likewise if I get someone's keys and then just go into their house with a newbie tailor and change all their hides into sandals, that's just a-hole behaviour, but if you risk sending a GM tailor in there and making full suits of armor that you can use/sell then that's clearly for the benefit of your character (vs. ruining it for someone else).

Also that's metagaming.

No one said anything about it being the same person. just grab your friend tailor and gate him there

But...the 90% bro?

In all seriousness, with full loot implemented...why would anyone limit themselves to just gold? I guess that would be the necessary evil to rob with actual RP.

wasn't monad talking about telborea demanding money (their taxes rp) and if telboreans agreed to only take money, then they could do that rp without being considered robbers

From what i've been told they can ask and you can refuse and that doesnt mean they can loot if they kill you still even if you have the required X coin.
