Do any of you noble NG readers have more ideas for my char to "harrash" the
bad karma players so much they stay away for a while ?

Of course, the problem here is that they have to be willing to take a murder
count too. If they can't take one, then let THEM be the bait and get flagged
grey (if the blue attacks first, they don't get a count).

Soon, or maybe already, you won't be able to steal from greys, or anyone,
unless you're in the thieve's guild.
Not counting the fact that if he attacks them in town you can legally smak
him down :)

hehehe... name them all "thief." and do it with birds... that way he can't
run back into them trying to get away from the notos when he goes grey
trying to kill them...
of course, he could use those birds to his advantage in the same way...
better rats then I think... still a damn good idea... :)
Dexeron
Snooper has 5 birds following him and making him rubberband every 3 feet...
whacks a bird to clear his path
Random banker guards macro "You will pay fo this you vile swine.." *thud* he
hits the floor.
Goes and waits his 2 minutes and gets rezed and returns to bank where the
rest of the birdies are waiting for him (would setting them to guard him
work better as they will follow the ghost while in guard mode... dunno about
follow)
but since animals will still follow him once he shows up at the bank he
either has to rubberband his butt out of town and whack all the birds out
there making him free reign for NOTO's and you yourself, it would be hellish
and totally drive them mad cause there isn't a damn thing they can do about
it but leave town. :)
Mistress Morrigan
P.S. Hmm I think having a group of pigs follow him would be a fashion
statement :)
P.P.S. and I'm not evil... I am Respectable ;)

Could be the one of the reasons why GM treefrog is no longer with OSI, but
every time I did this to his butt buddy thieves he would teleport the
animals over the fence. I wasn't doing it to harass them per se, I would
just kill them when they fatigued trying to push though.
This was the same treefrog that let theives place ~14 vendors on the road
right outside Moonglow so thieves could block marks.
You really have to be careful in what you do. Lots of GMs are jerks and have
jerks for friends. The foul mouthed thief you harass may be a GMs family
member.

Stealing, taming, snooping and such .... oooh the joy is coming back !
Any ideas on what skills and what the best way to raise them are ?

Hey--if a thief steals from a grey player, does he go grey to or does he
stay blue?

We must meet up, I have a similar character, who performs a similar
function. Im on Europa as well and tend to perform in Minoc.
This is where a player called Go On Ask Me (5-6xGM warrior) deliberately
goes grey so that people will attack her, so that she can kill them and loot
the corpse. I've started leaving only newbie items on my body and attacking
her with my dagger. I dont care if I die, in fact I've gained about 2.5 in
fencing since I started this, she'll get me to GM yet.
Eventually she goes mental and starts res-killing me at the healers (I never
get to dish out an MC though). As long as she's attacking me, the newbies
are safe.
Now that my char has reached 60 in 'borrowing' he can eventaully join the TG
and then she'd better watch out. That GM katana will be 'borrowed' and
dropped on the street for someone to take.

The stage I'm at in the game I'm not too bothered if they call a GM or not.
I had a long discussion with a miner killer/harrasser who threatened to call
a GM after I said 'fekkin' in a sentence. They had used 'f**k' earlier so I
just told them to call the GM.
I can't say I'm too bothered if I get kicked off or not.

grreettzz..
This past Saturday morning I logged on, and headed straight for
the bank, only to see around 8 dead bodies lying around and lots
of other players on horses, going 'wtf'. The place looked like a morgue.
A lot of the thieves tend to walk around in groups now, and try to
lure unsuspecting newbies out of the city, where the gaurds don't
patrol.
One player yesterday tried to lure me into his house (near Ironwood Inn)
saying that there was a red PC there hiding. Me being the idiot I was
went into the house, the player immediately casted 'Paralyse onto me,
but the spell was bounced back to him, because I still had the effects
of 'Magic reflection' on me, from a previous fight with an orc mage.
Good luck with that new character of yours :-)

Vesper, on most shards, is a hole. It's filled with even more scum than the
Britain West Bank. Vesper also is home to constant chaos/order (pimp/ho)
gangbangs, while Britain, on most shards, rarely has that "feature".
Unfortunately, the Britain East Bank, which used to be my favorite (because
nobody seemed to know it was there) has finally become a cess pool of
thieves and grief players. I'd recommend Yew, Minoc, or Occlo as a good
town to make home base. They are quiet, and the players tend to be more
mature, at least in Yew and Occlo. (Minoc has a lot of miner-harassers, who
spill over into the town.)

Hmm...while Vesper can be bad, I would argue that Britain is a much
larger scumpit. I see polymorphed lizardmen far more often there than I
see polymorphed trolls in Vesper. And I won't even start on the nightmare
that is the Britain graveyard. The city I see the most O/C gangbanging in
is Moonglow, but Moonglow is such a cesspool now that non-jerks tend to
avoid it like the plague. From my experience, the condition of the towns,
from worst to best, are:
Moonglow
Britain
Minoc
Vesper
Delucia
Trinsic
Skara Brae
Papua
Occlo
Yew
And of course, there's Jhelom, Magincia, and Nujel'm, all of which are
usually deserted.
For a "home town" I'd argue that Skara Brae or Jhelom would be
best--Yew doesn't have enough stores to live off of, and Occlo doesn't
have a moongate. Jhelom is nice and quiet, but the amount of small vermin
to rubberband on is extraordinarily high. Most of my characters have
settled into Skara Brae--but the town seems to be getting worse than when
I first started.

I think it's also dependant on shard... Moonglow has to be one of my
favorite cities on Atlantic, not least because of the insane reagent spawn
rate, and the infinte number of sheep and other animals to kill, tame and
skin. There are a fair share of problem players there, but you can find
that in any town :) (Actually Moonglow was the city where my wife met the
first person ever to PK her.. hmm...) Of course, I'll have to agree with
you, Britain is probably up there on the list of "worst cities" on every
shard...
Moonglow seems to be relatively safe, until everyone finds out about the
permanent red moongate to the Lycaeum on the second floor of the Britain
Library... oops let the cat out of the bag ;) It's funny when people spam
"Need gate to Moonglow!" at the west britain bank, literally one screen away
from a permenant gate there...
Which shard are you playing on, BTW... I sure hope Moonglow doesn't get
pulled down into the dregs on my shard... I love the "free regs/no PK"
atmosphere of it... :(

Point taken...I play mostly on Catskills, so that may color my view. But
when I was shard-hopping before settling down, the other shards I was on
seemed to be pretty much the same. Jerks and PKs seem to gravitate to
where there are newbies, which is why before the increased-spawn patch
the Moonglow cemetary used to draw lots of PKs preying on newbie warriors
fighting skeletons. That, combined with the rumor that you can access the
Moonglow bank outside the guardzone when you're red, (I still sometimes
see reds on the other side of the fence spamming "BANK, BANK, BANK" all
the time) made it a natural spawn point for jerks.
Minoc's East Mines are also really, really bad...a good portion of them
are out of the guardzone, so people recall in all the time to slaughter
all the miners that go there. Not to mention the throngs of ore thieves and
pack horse killers. On Catskills there's an entire guild whose main
purpose is to harass newbie miners there. My main character's tenure was
spent there---I remember on my very first day some jerk in an orc mask
charging me, emoting "*so-and-so is attacking you*" and casting ebolts.
(but not actually firing them off) Not fun.

I haven't had any problems since moving to Moonglow (LS)
First thing that happened to my newbie when he got to Lycaeum was
running into some kind soul who led me to the bank and handed me
stuff.
And nobody's tried to play "Jank the newbie" with me yet.
Wow. What a difference. My moonglow is filled with Chaos/Order people
reskilling constantly, bank jerks, whining newbies asking for horses and
house deeds, and tons and tons of thieves. Thf (thieves of moonglow) is
always at the cemetery, robbing players of the piddly gold they get from the
skeletons, and stealing my regs as I try to keep the new players healed.
Finally I just got sick of it, and I've not been to moonglow in a while.
It's just not worth it for me anymore.
sigh, now I have to take back my statement... the last day or so Moonglow on
Atlantic seems to have become home to some seriously annoying Chaos/Order
nonsense, usually RIGHT by the bank. ARGH.
I think it's a cyclical thing... the idiots seem to move from town to town
like a plague of locuts ;) I just hope they leave Moonglow soon...
and yes, Minoc East Mines are a terrible place with all the Pkers (lots of
notos on Atlantic... a whole guild of em i tangled with the other day...)

I did meet a beggar today, some new (but not young) mage asking for
sulphurous ash. (Only reason I know he's new, he's still casting
magic arrows.) I don't think he was whining though.

Ah. Maybe that's my problem, I haven't wandered down to the cemetary
yet. (I think I've been around the rest of the island, just not
there.)
I did have one guy try to steal from me. He thought I was an npc.
I like to wander around town unarmed in my newbie cloak; between it
looking somewhat like a healer's cloak, and my having a very simple
name, it wasn't surprising. I think I even had one guy on a horse
greet me with "Vendor buy" when I was standing in the reagent shop.

I don't get that... does that actually do anything to them, or is it

Nah, I just did what all the shopkeepers do to me. Wandered off like
I didn't hear him...
Saw a couple d00ds today, running all over the place. The land is so
small, why the need to run everywhere? Saw some guy provoking animals
at the zoo. Saw some nifty spiderwebs at the zoo too, but the guards
whacked the giant spider that appeared there.
Saw some Young player meet his Companion; Companion says "I'm from
the OSI Companion program, here to guide you through your first couple
of hours today" (or something like that) The Young guy goes "Huh?"
Companion: "I'm here to help. Do you have any questions?"
Young guy: "Not really"
Companion: "Okay, enjoy yourself then." *poof*
Young guy: "Well that was wierd."
I hope he understood what he did. I never got to meet a companion
when I was Young.
I get that all the time with my tailor Neidle...
People vendor buy him the bank guards all the time..
Had someone steal a empty backpack from me and got guardwackked.. :)
funny
Told him when he ressed that if he needed the gold that bad, he should have
just asked for it :) I then left the backpack next to his bones..
