help mugging
Mugging is when you attack someone for the sole purpose of taking any of their possessions. Mugging generally works by stunning the victim and then stealing from them and/or picking up what they drop. The act almost always done for the purpose of bettering one's self and this is a very distinguishing feature about mugging. Mugging is illegal! Any form of attack such as blocking someone into a room, grabbing them, binding them, stunning them with grenades or blackjack, landmines, sniping or otherwise attacking someone to do any of the things in the preceding paragraph will be considered mugging. If you think you are being mugged, please use the REPORT command to report them using anything from a DUB you've placed on your attacker or their race if you haven't dubbed them yet. Use of REPORT, RPC and IMMCHAT will not be affected by being stunned. While we will not step in most of the time we will carry out punishments against the muggers every time we have a report and enough grounds to act. Not reporting muggings contributes to the problem because then some muggers think that they can get away with it. Don't let them take anyone else's things, report them as soon as you can. Note for Thieves: When you steal an item(s) from someone, and then they attack you to retrieve said item(s), please do not invoke help mugging. You were not mugged. This includes any sort of action that restrains, incapacitates, stuns, or otherwise renders a player's ability to act against their will. Notable exception: Space piracy, disabling a target to steal its cargo, is fair game and part of the risk of flying ships to make money.
