In past years it used to be a common knowledge how to protect your property vs
robbing. Castle robbing has always been a part of this game. It makes some
people
pissed and it makes some people quit. Perhaps it eventually gives someone
his/her lost life back.

I have been robbed years ago. I learned, I bought a bunch of guards to make my
home safe. I didn't whine because that would have only gotten Baltzebub and
Qurp after me because nobody likes a whiner. (No, they didn't rob me.)

What would they do to a whiner? Kill n+100 times. It was generally accepted.

Now the whiner seems to be the victim or more like his/her friends. Why don't
you simply take the law on your hands and revenge but keep the news silent?

You want to "warn" people from partying with the bastards. Do so, but face the
consequences if the partymembers don't happen to see your point and start
fighting back towards your society and your partymembers. You can make a
little twist turn into a war. Is it really worth it?

If you cannot protect your property, you suck.
So, it's better to learn how to swallow or get enough guards and stop sucking.
You can ask your friends how the guards work or find out yourself.
It's not too hard to figure out.

Afterall, castle robbing is not forbidden in game rules but mass killing is.
Follow the rules, play the game and enjoy it.

OR GET A LIFE! =D

It's the easiest way for you, me and everyone.

You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town!"


Have a Merry Christmas!

I don't think anyone was saying that the game should ban thieving/etc, nor
implying that it currently does...however, I will also point out that the
comment that multiple pkills is disallowed is very clearly not the case
according to 'help player killing'. The wording says: If you are getting
killed multiple times or being threatened by someone (or a group of players)
without the opposing party having a clear reason for it" ... I think thieving
is definitely a clear reason for pkills.

Just curious, how many "brave" players does it take to get even with a couple
of castle robbers? 1, 5 or a whole society? Also curious why this time is so
special, given that castle robbers have existed since the player valley
opened, and there has been numerous castle raids this year alone.

Newsflash: best solution against castle robbing is proper defense. And the
fun part of the robbing is to find the weaknesses in the defense. And while
you can ofcourse punish players for stealing, acknowledge that they
outsmarted someone, and that it is totally intentional that castles can be
robbed - they were designed that way.
