forensic eval/thief hunting

[Alex Mars]

Is anyone hunting thieves guild members using this skill? I hate thieves and
this could be a new diversion for me in UO. I've run into one or two thieves
from the TG but never seen anyone denounce one or try to kill one.

I waxed one last night, but after he stole from me outside the moonglow graveyard
(typical area)....things is, they have to be perma grey to not receive a murder,
and forensics only tells you if they are a thief....so you could be taking your
chances if you attack arbitrarily

I thought being in the Thieves Guild made someone a free target that could be
killed at any time?

One upon a time, there was a magical fairy named Alex Mars who lived in
rec.games.computer.ultima.online and spoke thusly:

If you kill a theif in the theives guild that has not stolen from anyone
since he last resurrected, you will go grey and guard-whackable. However,
he CANNOT give you a murder count.

If he has stolen since he was last resurrected, you make attack him without
penalty, even if he appears blue.

Being in the TG makes you unable to give a murder count, any time, *BUT* the
noto system and guards still protect TG members who aren't perma-grey or
grey (i.e. those who haven't stolen since their last death). So outside of
guard protection, yes, any TG member is a free kill as long as you don't
mind noto-pks walking by.

"Guards!" usually comes first.
