This Mud

This is not the attitude thats going to increase our player base. And its exactly why pthieving is completely inappropriate on a non-pkill mud. Too much of a wuss for what? ...random harassment?

Last time I heard it was part of the game. If you can't deal with it then I guess Slothmud is not for you. The admin have reiterated this 1000000000 times. Crying, whining and the likes will change nothing. I have no idea why they let players be run off, but it does happen.

You never know, things might be changing after all.

Due to some threats followed by my fear of losing more decent pthieving characters, I'm only going to pthief one day a week. Pick a day, anyone.

Stop bashing your immorts, whiners. They've saved the day. Or at least one of the immorts anyway.

If it turns out to be true, then hurray for the imms.

I'll pick a day for you, Wednesday. If pthieving can only happen on Wednesdays then I would certainly accept that and have nothing to whine about.

Of course I'll only believe it when I hear from the imms. Somehow Poolp saying it just doesn't quite mean a thing.

Sorry I don't think you quite understand the situation. The MUD/immorts' policy on pthieving hasn't been changed, but I have been warned not to take it too far. I also do admit I've been a little over the top.

So what I personally would do is pick a day (Wednesday now, I guess) to pthief. You have my word not to pthief on any other day but I can't be helf responsible if other pthieves do. This is a personal thing.

You can believe whatever you choose to, it doesn't bother me.

Hmm.. a week away from sloth, same old same ol'. I've already stripped most of my chars to nothing and sold a lot of my eq about a month ago because I was so sick of this pthieving sh*t. I have two usable (legit) characters left for playing honestly as I have done for many years here, HOWEVER, since the immorts (or at least the one or two who dictate sloth) LOVE pthiefs so much, maybe I should just reactivate the half dozen or more chars I have at ok levels with no eq, plus the pile more I have at sub 20 and join with the two(?) existing pthieves in sloth? Clearly they are more important to this mud than the other 60 or so remaining players who haven't left yet. What's the saying - "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em"? Or is it, "if you can't beat 'em, don't play with 'em"? Either way amounts to the same thing in the end, so hey, if the powers that be are so determined to have it this way, then fine, perhaps I should just help you end this mud a little sooner. I'd probably be doing myself a favor anyway - I'd spend more time on my studies once this mud was dead (or turned into one of those hundreds of pathetic 'muds' out there that have maybe a max of 5 people on at any given time LOL).

Seriously - it's become so pathetic that you can't even carry a facking water container without it being stolen - so now we should recall and run to a fountain if we need a drink? And we shouldn't regen unless we recall and go to a safe spot to change, and same deal with raises, which TOTALLY goes against encouraging grouping? Fack off. Totally ruins gameplay.

..a little later..
Just logged in, found I had no desire to be on, and rented again. That's probably a first. Congrats pthieves, you must be proud. Maybe Tower had the right idea starting SparkMud back in 2004.

Weasel, pthieves have been part of this MUD for such a long time and I really don't think you're quitting because of us. You used to hunt me sometime ago and I'm sure you found it fun. I'd hate to assume it but is there something else that's driving you away from this MUD other than pthieves? Making you lose the will to play anymore, say maybe that you're getting a little bored of it?

My intention of pthieving was stated before and it's definitely not to drive people away from Sloth. The last thing I want is to play in a MUD with less and less people because of some things I did. You know there are so many other ways to get a drink, like get less expensive water containers or hide the expensive ones in a robe or something, so please don't look for excuses to blame pthieves for spoiling gameplay.

You have been in the MUD so long and you know the answers to all your questions, and you know how to deal with pthieves. So I'd appreciate it if you didn't blame pthieves for your loss of interest.

But honestly if you feel like continuing that and quitting, I really wouldn't mind that much. The choice is yours.

Be more like Zarf and Zera. Show some intestinal fortitude. Who cares if a drink container gets stolen? I don't know of any that are hard to get anyway and tons are downright easy to get and load every time. If you're smart, that's all you'll allow them to get anyway. I carry a drink container a bag for food and an opposum pouch with like flawed gem/red eye cps, 2 or 3 hexes usually a pink invitation a fishing pole a white potion and shit like that. I carry my keychain around with me too, but I take full responsibility for it if it gets stolen. The other shit..who cares? What I meant to say really is just knuckle down and make it a downright shitty time to be a pth. All of you whiners should band together and send poolp or gets or whomever back into rl for the next six months. You could do it with constant vigilance and relocate and firestorm/pyroclasm. Don't let two guys run you off of a game you love, fight back.

That's the Aaron I know.

Correct me if I'm wrong ... Didn't u get a "pimp" water container stolen
and u threw a fit? U were willing to pay top $$$ for it, because only u and
some1 else had it or something?

I got the shifting dragon skull taken, and yeah it was the only one in game at the time, but it also loads fairly easily on Weylyn. The guy ended up just giving it back actually when I asked him.

You could always start a pthief pthief. I've thought about it a few times...I used to chase em down once upon a time, but I felt that if you weren't smart enough to avoid getting lifted, then pay the piper...or fight back, all you need is a 1x40 thief prime, with decent stats, and about 80k xp on him...

PTHIEF THE PTHIEVES!

I'm a little choked up myself. I'll take Tuesday's,Thursdays and every other
Saturday. Also, any holidays and days that have few on "may or may not"
require an appearance. Unlike, Poolp, I have no conscience so take this as is.
