Here's one for you rogues looking for some pointers... Part 1 06/01/2011 05:34 PM CDT
Quick breakdown of these posts before I paste the rather large logs. I was bored today, and frankly the whole "art of rogue" has really dwindled dramatically since I've last played, and well, I see a need to boast the esteem of others so took it upon myself to bring back a little flavor to our kind. It seems anymore the term thief is largely unused and even when it is, we have people such as Klepta run in a room, steal from , then quickly run out as fast as she ran in (Granted I know she's an alt of a bored player, it's still horribly ugly none the less)

The below log, sums up an activity I took part in today while in the Landing. I will break it up into two parts. Part 1 is the thought net activity, while part 2 is the aftermath of the amulet activity.

No players were harmed in this activity, except maybe their pockets, just a little bit..? Sorry for the ugly formatting too
