Well, the current running conflict is rather stupid. It's like we are fighting over the right name for a shade of red, but I can't help myself because it makes me laugh. I would, however, like to see something useful come out of the conflict. So ...

I have always used this folder to ask GM's questions, when I am not interested in players feedback or opinions. Otherwise I tend to post in the general folder. Should I change my usage of this folder or is that fine?

In responding to this, you might be declaring a winner to the silly ego contest we are having. If you would rather not do that publicly, could you send me an email with the policy and I will adjust accordingly, if needed.

Thanks.

I checked with the beggar and got this yesterday and today.

>give beggar 100 copper kronars
The beggar slips the money away deftly with a grin, "Well, here's what I've heard about you lately.
In the young snake's territory, he's not sure what he thinks of you.
In the birds' territory, they might change to hawks instead were they to see you.
In the old serpent's territory, she doesn't have an opinion yet.
In the pencil pusher's territory, he doesn't care, one way or the other.
In the queen's territory, she hasn't taken notice of you yet.
That's all I've heard, now git!"

I've stolen once in Haven recently to get charged and immediately surrendered myself. All the times I've checked after that incident I had no rep in Haven. Now all the sudden I'm getting that hawk message and have no clue why. Could someone explain to me what happened?

>>I also never thought whom must be the "pencil pusher" would be considered as... well, a pencil pusher.

There are NPCs that refer to Dwillig as a pencil pusher. I can't remember if it was another GL or Raif.

If you check out the details in his office you'll notice why they refer to him as such.

Hey Z I just circled and my concentration went way down which is normal but I was wondering what affect if any that's gonna have on my khris since were still under the old khri system?

Probably the wrong place to ask, but any chance gweths could be changed to work off Max concentration instead of current? I'm finding it impossible sometimes to gweth with 4 or 5 khri going and sometimes I'll get one gweth off and then not be able to do it again until I drop a khri

I do not code racial bonuses or penalties into anything of mine.

For those of us that aren't able to speak to certain guild leaders, is there anything in the works to get our khri back? I believe it was mentioned that something would be put into place for those characters in a guild meeting around a year or so ago when discussing the upcoming changes.

I was just browsing through another forum and I saw this, posted by Z...

"Backstab is under review, as many know, and whatever happens to it is likely to be more limiting on the PvP side than the PvE side. I'll be looking at Snipe too."

So my question is, considering the comments on making the "hidden" state less desirable, along with other stealth penalties like WATCH, what will Thieves be able to do in PvP that a commoner can't unless they seriously outclass their opponent?

Stealing lockpicks at low ranks probably is an unwise idea because the current pick system uses value to determine the potency of the lockpick, and it's simply flagged as something like nonpawnable, and we can't really override that at this stage. Some other systems do the same.

I'm curious just what the GM's / DR Policy on accusing is. Example being:
I catch NotAThiefDude in an attempt to steal without permission/consent.
I run to Varsyth and Accuse NotAThiefDude of Theft.
A thug comes (and at this point) kills NotAThiefDude.
I go on my merry way back to hunting, training, etc.

At this point is the conflict resolved? Does NotAThiefDude have consent to attack/kill me? Given that we (thieves) suffer a hit if we accuse to the guards is this the correct action to take rather than attacking him? I've been reading over policy at http://www.play.net/dr/gamepolicy.asp but can't seem to find anything clearing this up.

I seem to recall reading somewhere (can't remember where) that if you catch someone stealing from you that it's one or the other. You can accuse OR attack but not both. Is that accurate? Sorry in advance for the chaotic nature of the post I'm just really quite curious what the 'correct' way to go about catching someone stealing is. Thanks for the time.
