You’re saying that you’re less likely to get caught if you first kidnap your victim and drag him through a crowded spaceport and into your ship?This is why we have governing clans.

My point stands even within the context of Star Wars, and your "inflation" is the product of code and building changes over several timelines, not market factors. Note that newbies’ starting credits have stayed the same as well.

For some reason you’re arguing against Adriav and doing it retardedly. wtf. Arguing about stupid things and arguing POORLY. With bad points. These are BAD points to argue with.
[i:2o57f0jg]"If it’s not broke don’t fix it"[/i:2o57f0jg]
That’s right, I don’t perform any sort of maintenance on my car until something is seriously wrong with it. Glad you don’t either.
[i:2o57f0jg]"This will make more perms happen" or "Perm rules would need to be more strict" or "Would promote killing"[/i:2o57f0jg]
These are all the same argument…
I’m not totally agreeing with his suggestion, but to say that rules will need to be more strict and blah blah blah YOU’RE A MORON. It won’t increase perms! WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!? It just means people will be killed in the streets rather than in a ship(or other non safe area)! Maybe we should have a rule that unconscious people can’t be taken into ships. Oh wait, that would be retarded. It won’t promote killing, it would promote.. uhh… not taking people into ships.[i:2o57f0jg]"Grandma will dial 911"[/i:2o57f0jg]
Good for her. And when the paramedics show up and find the dead guys head sitting in his lap, what are they suppose to do?
[i:2o57f0jg]"It won’t foster rp"[/i:2o57f0jg]
And being revived at a hospital after being gutted/decapitated by a vibro blade is?
Other than these three the only arguments i see are "It’s stupid" which, by the way, is not a very valid argument.
So maybe some fucking criticisms, rather than a buncha of retards whining?Maybe…
have murderer reported to governing clan
(is hospitalization instant? I don’t really know) Could be a while before an ambulance shows up
After being inflicted with such grievous wounds it could take some time before you’re released from the hospital
I’m not really sure what to say about the cost…Oh, what was I thinking, this isn’t a forum, it’s a "let’s shoot down peoples ideas with a strong sense of disdain and cruelty"
Forget I said anything.[/quote:2o57f0jg]I agree with your views on people and their douchefaggery, but some will never learn, mostly just RJ. But anyways…
I like the idea about the, I guess "lag time" between when you are sent to a hospital and when you can log in? Pretty lame when someone can just relog and bingo, alive. Maybe something like an hour, or two. Or maybe a full day. Dunno if this will cause more problems, but I honestly feel the current system doesn’t work all that well.

You’d much prefer people log their alts and try to kill you with them instead?
Not that this isn’t a bad idea but either way its going to be a win-lose situation. A forced timeout on the account is about the only way you could hinder people "instant reviving", i see that being about as popular as the plague <!– s:P –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt="

If you want to go with that wonderfully-horrible analogy, then so be it. Do you replace your car doors every month? How about buying a new engine twice a year? New bumper every couple of weeks?
The point is that there is preventative maintenance, and pointless modification. If you knew anything about how a mud is run code-wise, you never would’ve made that argument."KRESKZZORZ":1juue83g wrote:These are all the same argument…[/quote:1juue83g]
First of all, you need to learn to count–the first and the last arguments are the same, for one simple reason: people are dumb. The vast majority of the time something is said once, it goes in one ear and out the other. Also, you failed to realize that an escalation in the number of perms does not necessitate a change in the perm rules. Do we have modified perm rules whenever there’s a war going on? With the exception of the standing "help war," we don’t. Do we have them at the ends of eras and timelines? No."KRESKZZORZ":1juue83g wrote:It just means people will be killed in the streets rather than in a ship(or other non safe area)!

If you think that allowing heat-of-passion perms wherever the takedown happens will do anything but discourage RP, you’re wrong. You take someone down. If you’re given the chance to perm them there, in the heat of the moment, chances are that you will; however, if you are forced to go to the trouble of dragging them to a ship, you’ve just given yourself the chance to actually RP with them–a chance you wouldn’t get if your victim is sitting in the middle of the Grand Plaza. Counter to many opinions, the vast majority of players -would- RP with a victim if given the chance. That RP, while possibly with the intent of making the eventual perm "stick," could also morph into prisoner RP: why kill them when you can get information on them, and they’re unable to attack you either way (rule 4)?"KRESKZZORZ":1juue83g wrote:(is hospitalization instant? I don’t really know)[/quote:1juue83g]
Yes, it is. If you hospitalize someone instead of them being permed, everyone in the room knows the moment the person reaches -500 HP. However, it can be "delayed" if the victim wisely refuses to log on to their character–more than likely to the exact same attacker, blocking the exit out of the bacta tank."KRESKZZORZ":1juue83g wrote:So it’s a little old.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. You’re an asshole RJ. You provide nothing with your post, but to just burn someone else down. Good job.
Ok, anyways. As far as someone logging in their alts, that is of course meta-gaming. It is illegal to use an alt to kill someone for killing your other character, as of course your alt has no idea that this has happened. I’m not saying that this won’t happen, however, with the current state of most perms requiring think logs and all that mess, I think it is highly monitorable.

[b:2f8ac3bh]I’m getting tired of following the same people across the forums and having to babysit them. If you can’t post on the forums without posting in a manner that is overly confrontational, rude, or outright mean, don’t post on the forums.[/b:2f8ac3bh]
