2.77, are you missing a decimal?

 

[strongholdx]

Woo, its possible to protect my townies stuffs now!!!!!

 

[Digicrack0]

Woot! no more using a stone sword when i wanna ass-blade!

 

[zDylannn]

ass blade hehe

 

[Dielan9999]

I'm guessing m1-m2-m3-m4 represent township levels?

Like town, city, capitol, kingdom?

 

[strongholdx]

thats what I assumed too

Well 200c for town mayors is still better than the cost for Tier 3 donors. Then it only goes up form there!

I still don't know if I should be upset or happy about this, because using regions to block your chests used to work and now it doesn't. Because town theft is legal. One end of the stick you have all the new players who don't care able to be a d-bag and get ahead from stealing form their own town. However on the other end of the stick the towns that are doing well can afford to LWC a chest for every person! Or more. So it gives more appeal to the wealthy towns, because they will protect you even better. I'd say that's pretty hardcore. It's just unfortunate we can't avoid the d-bag town thieves.

EDIT: I don't like d-bags. I'm ok with town theft being legal I just don't want to encourage d-bags to be d-bags or for ordinary new players to become d-bags.

Have Pulse, Chain Lightning, and Blaze been changed to reflect the general HP buffs and other class's changes?

Branding them as thieves / black listing them should be good enough - If someone makes a MC account and joins a town - that is not legal - we dont allow alternate accounts. So you see - its bad because people were doing this - but it shouldnt happen often because reputation on this server -matters-

Mostly but not entirely - remind me later today and ill double check

 

[RandomAcronym]

@Dielan9999 it is legal to join a town to steal from it,so that helps.

 

[strongholdx]

Yeah, I have heard a LOT of people argue the opposite. at one point @Tigo123 claimed that it was totaly legal and the rules had been changed, stating that the ones here on the forums were wrong. I think someone needs to clarify the rules and lay them down so they can't be missunderstood.

I agree completely. Regardless of my opinion, there is a lot of confusion. Moderators and Admins are telling players different things. Although it seems the forum rules say it is illegal, there are still some reputable sources that say only alt account theft is illegal. Kainzo needs to make a sticky in the rules about the definitive answer. Why go to the trouble of adding a town LWC system if it was illegal to do? There is a lot of confusion and people are getting banned because they were told conflicting information. Something final must be said.

It's not our job to police your town - that is your shop - if you let unruly members in - thats your town's system failing. Don't leave chests open and unlocked - in essence that is what you are doing when you have dirt above them - there is more than one way to get stolen from and they dont have to be on the region to do it.

USE LWC - stop being cheap - protect your important goods with LWC - with the new Township system - if you leave your ass hanging out - expect it to be molested.

Avoid the nearest temptation.

 

[Kingtom404]

Assblade has finally caught on! My life is now complete! And if a town loses their status, do they lose their LWC?

Yeah that's what I was leaning towards. I think it adds a level of hardcoreness to our awesome #1 hardcore server. The towns that are doing well can provide free/cheap LWC to its town members who don't have that kind of cash. Then town thieves wouldn't get anything good and after trying they can just pretend the attempt to steal never happened. I can see that happening alot, people checking chests and finding nothing, so they don't steal.

On the flip side, towns not doing well could bearly/not at all afford LWC for its members, and like you said, they will get molested. I think that is how it should be. I never really disagreed with making town theft legal.

So what you're saying here is that even though its illegal to join a town wih the intention to steal/grief/fuck someone over it is still perfectly acceptable? If so please make a clarification in the rules. I get it that we shouldn't be cheap and use LWCs and all that jazz, but I'm more conserned on the context of the rule. Is it, or is it not illegal?
