if you're still wanted, turn yourself in. Then wait a bit and try again.

last I knew that was part of the plan, and when that goes live, you can bet that the thieves guild will get a little more respect where its due when some snert wants to start something and hide.

Hello all, Im new to DR, played since about June of 2004, and I would like to ask a few questions about stealin etiquette and the like.

First off, what should one do when they get caught in someones pockets? This doesnt happen often to me, I always mark, put #5 up, and hide first, but it still does happen. When it does happen, I run like the dickens back to the thief haven, Ive only been killed when Ive been caught once. What Im asking I guess is, is this what everyone does? Should I run to safety? Hide and mock them? Stand my ground and get killed (Im not that great a fighter, esspecially if I dont/cant BS)?

My next question involves empaths. Im not going to say whether or not Ive stolen from them in the past, some people know the answer allready, but I want to know what some of the elder thieves say about it. The arguement against stealing from puffs is usually one of the following: They cant fight you if they catch you, its unfair (I argue that stealing from newbies is unfair in the same sense, they can try, but what can they really do?), next is that Empaths only make money from shifting and tips, they cant make money other ways (I argue then that there are plenty of Moon Mages and Traders who rarely hunt, only make money crafting/selling/whatever and they are not immune), and lastly Empaths are the only healers, dont steal from them because they are the only ones who can save your diein butt if you need it.

My last question is about being a thief itself, or, rather, other people knowing youre a thief. I recently achieved circle 30 (something Im very proud of, since I have had no-one to really guide me save the person who got me into DR, who never played a thief before hand), and it is probably obvious to many that I am a thief. I dont wear my title in the open, but my name is often on the board for pilfering, I wear a lockpick case, and more then a few whom I have robbed have told their friends about me. My question is, should I be worried about it? Many thieves, high circle, and not, are well known as thieves, others arent known to be thieves at all. Im not ashamed of being a thief, but I dont want to be hated wherever I go becuase of it.

In case anyone is wondering, I play Zailen, the human, recently circle 30, Teef.

<<I roleplay a mercenary, I wear the mercanery title too. But most people are morons and just jump straight to 'hes a thief!'>>

If you're caught stealing you're a thief, regardless of guild.

I personnally think that getting caught could be a GREAT time to try your RPing skills!!! When I was younger, and would get caught, I would always follow up with a hug to the victim!!!!
Then I would say something like "Long time no see!! How ya doing buddy? Been a while since we were in Rockies together!!!"
I would always get the response of "I dont know you". I would reply in shock "What?? We didn't hunt together?? I am SOOOO sorry!!!!!I thought I knew you!!!! I thought we hunted in rockies!!! Thats why I stole from you!!! If i was a thief, you wouldn't see me, but as you can see I am a <false guild> and cant steal to save me life!!!! I am SOOOOO Sorry!!!!!!!"
Then I would bow and leave, and I guess some 98% of the time that was enough for me to leave unscathed.

Regarding paths, I chose not to steal from them (Read empaths who have thier empathic title showing, or known empaths), just because I dont believe in healing herbs (old school - we never had them) and I am almost ALWAYS in need of a heal!! I also tip them very well.

<<Stealing from empaths is against the guild 'rules'
Jostak

I guess your right... you never said it... You typed it... Or someone else was on your account. But all I can say with accuracy is the same account WATSONA17 typed symbols that closely resemble

"Stealing from empaths is against the guild 'rules' "

so I commented on those mystery symbols of unknown origin...

<<I believe he said they are more of a guideline really somewhere, at least I think it was him, cause I remember laughing at that being from pirates of the caribean
Elec

I know he later said that... but the point was he said exactly the other first I copied and pasted then he said he never said that read again and I got to be annoying and a Trixie little halfling... That is a golum referance if you missed it... Being Trixie...

what is taters? stupid fat hobitses


The mind behind Jostak

I have the power to take everything from you, including your life.

what's lost can be found, what's locked can be opened, what's your's can be mine

As far as stealing, i only have it because its a requirement for circling...
I have a friend who is a path, and i always pick his pockets.
but were friends.
I would NEVER steal from an empath otherwise.
There have been too many times when i needed one, to ever think of pissing one off.

The day Kalag tells me not to steal from puffs is the day Ill stop.

>Ishtvan whispers, "Bank, you are dead."

>lean order
You lean against a recently-issued order with the words NO LOITERING printed on it in big letters.

<<And that is an individual choice. But remember something a lot of people forget (especially here in America) - there are consequences for your actions. The problem is it seems people want to be able to do things without suffering the consequences of thier actions (see all the lawsuits as an example). If you steal from a Cleric or an Empath, be prepared to deal with the consequences that you may never get healed, raised, or even mems saved. And as long as your happy with that, steal from whomever you want to your hearts content.>>

Exxxxxxactly!
