What's so bad when someone steals an ordinary kryss from you? Keep cool and go with the flow and RP along. Following RoE doesn't make you a good roleplayer. Knowing when it makes sense to follow RoE and when it makes sense to rather stay IC and go along with what happens makes you a good RPer.
and some spontaneous RP is always > than all this OOC RoE lawyering, no? |
If the stealing was actually roleplayed instead of something akin to what I might expect in Felucca, I would agree. However in my experience, theres very few thieves who actually ROLEPLAY at all - they simply use it as an excuse to be complete tards. If I ever find such a thief, I will let you know.
That aside, I am a firm believer that if you have rules they need to be enforced. If you fail to enforce the rule once, then it becomes a pointless rule as when you DO come to use it, said thief will simply state that no one had a problem in the past.
You can call it being a 'RoE Lawyer' if you like, but if I rode into town now maxxed out with magic loot (which my character 'discovered in a mystical cave' for roleplay purposes) and killed you, I daresay you'd be the first to cry - and I wouldn't blame you.
Spontaneus roleplay shouldn't require you to break the rules since very little of the quality roleplay that has taken place in this game (from my pov) has ever required rule to be broken.
