Town theif rule

[Dielan9999]

Hey @Seratt and @Kainzo

the wording on the rules is a little ambiguous.

2) The following actions are permitted:​

a) Stealing.​

i) Stealing is legal everywhere EXCEPT inside Zeal and townhalls.​

It doesn't say in the rules that stealing from your own town is illegal, whereas in your alert to everyone you said:

Rules have been updated. Stealing inside towns is now illegal. This includes rare blocks in a player structure.

I'm 100% for this new rule, but where does it appear in the official rules? Can you clarify?

Is it illegal for outsiders to steal from towns? Or just town members on the region? Does the block covering the non-LWC have to be a rare block?

Please explain!

EDIT: @Seratt you also said:

09/24/11 -- Updated (Destroying rare blocks inside a town, without explicit permission, is illegal. Griefing is still illegal as always.)

This is what I meant by my question of if we need to block our chests with rare blocks now. You didn't mention anything in this update about what was said in the global alert.

 

[Kainzo]

Block destruction in town = bad (on or off the region list)

Theft from chest = okay

So...why wasn't this rule carried over from the Fourth Age in the first place? That's what I wanna know. <.< But at least now people can build giant golden cocks in their towns without fear.

Theft from chest = okay

Nevermind.

I get mixes stuff on this one.
They can steal from chests, but not break blocks.

What if they break blocks on chests?

The rule was changed to keep people from joining a township for the sole purpose of griefing the regiong.

Destroying a block to access a chest is fine, as long as the block is replaced afterwards. If they are unable to do so, it could be seen as griefing.

 

[whitemagehealu]

It could be seen as griefing. Though, not like any mod or admin is going to rush to go check one block.

Hmm, what if I place an iron block on my chests and the theif grabs them to.

What about citizens placing valuable blocks instead of storing them in a chest?

Would these be protected under that rule?

Kain said block destruction (on or off region) of these blocks are bad, but theft from chests is fine, so yes, they may be stolen, unless I misunderstand.

 

[Dielan9999]

So, it's really not any different?

 

[Aerokii]

It's slightly clearer now, that stealing regioned blocks is not allowed, however stealing from chests is. This is a small change to the rules, although the latest change that was made seemed to suggest that any theft, including from chests, was illegal within towns.

This clarifies it- though I do wish chest theft was illegal too within towns/from town members. Oh well.

So store all your gold and diamonds as blocks and build your floor or house out of it.
If they break it to steal it, it's illegal.
