Most of us can look back not too long ago and remember the infamous thief Xtb5x from coal harbor. For some of us, what he did was game-breaking and his actions induced a plague of town theft the ultimately lead to the banning of stealing rare blocks, griefing and stealing from town halls.
However, this sunday/monday, another thief appeared on the server; Phillyeagles. Not surprisingly he had a motive for stealing, he was stealing for Kamino, and town that is at war with Orion, the victim town. This highly targeted theft is obvious it was intentional and such actions should be completely illegal, and it would appear Kainzo agrees with this point, however that's what I heard when he was asked by Danda in help chat.
Now my point in divulging this information is a plead for reformation. I'm suggesting town theft by town members in any circumstance be illegal, possibly resulting in a 3-day suspension; skipping the first warning to the second as this should not be encouraged by any means. It isn't right that a town can either take new members, or have alternate accounts, and use them to become a member of a hostile town to steal from them and help themselves. If you allow this to continue, you'll destroy this server because everyone will start doing it, towns will stop recruiting members, and life on the server will be dull, as everyone will be too paranoid to recruit new members.
In refutation, should I hear suggestions such as "Buy LWCs" or "It's a part of life. Be more careful as to whom you recruit" I have this to say: No.
Why should my citizens, and why should my friends have to buy LWCs when they live in a town? Does that not make towns redundant? If the purpose of a town is to offer protection, yet it cannot guarantee that its citizen's chests will be secured from all threats, foreign and domestic, then it does not serve its purpose of protecting its citizens. LWCs should not be necessary if you live in a town, as the town is supposed to offer the protection the LWC does, and more. Furthermore, it is not the job of the town to look into the people they recruit. It is not the responsibility of the mayor or his council to investigate the people he/she recruits, as they may be a new member, or may have no traceable forum posts.
To put into perspective what he stole for Kamino, or all of North Reach, here's a tiny portion of what I know he stole:
20 stacks of iron ore
64 gold
3 stacks of lapis blocks
10+ misc. gold tools and weapons
other misc. Items we aren't yet sure about
Hopefully you will see reason in this argument, and prohibit stealing from fellow town members in every circumstance. Furthermore, I would expect to see proper punishment not only limited to the criminal, but to his associates, In this case, Kamino and North Reach. I would expect a full rollback of the player so as to return the items to their legitimate owners.
A new development in this case: http://gyazo.com/ff160dab6ce0861ac06d4b0afcab23e1
