Hypothetically, if I was AFK scripting last night in TF and my script entered a loop of trying to buy lockpicks, getting arrested, and going to buy lockpicks again... and it did this for hours... how screwed am I?

For fun, this is how that happens:
>release USOL
...wait 1

I think I lost a few thousand in plats. But mostly, I'm concerned about how long the social outrage will last. How long before I can set foot in town again, in theory? Is there a cap on how bad social outrage can get? Does it drain only when I'm logged in? I was thinking of pausing my subscriptions until I can really play again.

>how screwed am I?

I think the worst SO can be will put you at like 1-2 weeks of drain before things cool off?

>"If you have more than 50% of the maximum possible Social Outrage, you are considered to be one of the Perverse."

I think this needs some updating.

>>Follow-up: does Rite of Contrition or Rite of Grace do anything to mask social outrage? Would a capped cast of either allow me to deposit coins or make a purchase?

Not to my knowledge. RoC (and RoG with Liturgy) just masks Divine Outrage. I think they help fight against passive suspicion gain or something along those lines, but they won't unring any bells.

Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

Nah. Someone in Prime did like 5 SO actions and he said the message was "10 days" because he could use town again. Scott is probably going to be at least a month of no town use.

>Had a bad experience happen and let's just say it was at least a month of avoiding anywhere justice. SO doesn't drain while logged out or not active so it won't help to pause the subscription until it clears.

Should be about a week or so in TF then, which still sucks but isn't that bad (assuming said incident was in Plat or Prime).

It depends on how SO drain works. IIRC, You get 24 hours of DO drain in notably shorter hours, explicitly because they don't want to give players an IG advantage just for being AFK in a house all day. SO drain might be the same.

I do believe that TF gets more DO drain per day, because of the assumption that they're also training 24/7 (unlike Prime/Plat), but I don't know if SO drain was adjusted accordingly the same way, since that's less of an explicit thing that happens from general gameplay.

>Don't forget there's a guild leader you can talk to and find out exactly how long it'll be.

I did not realize that. I just figured that out though, so thanks.

Apparently I was also in posession of a Xala'shar scimitar, which apparently causes social outrage somehow? Not sure what the exact mechanic is there. Whoops.
