So yesterday I was trading, and I caught Alar stealing from me. I was all excited that I got to accuse at the clerk again, but then I realized I was still in town. So, I went to the Guard House at the East gate 'cause it was the only one I knew of, but when I tried to accuse him I got some message about how I needed to type out the full name and be in the right city..so I just decided to drop it.

Today I was at the guild, getting ready to head to Tiger Clan, when I caught him again. On my way to the bank, to get rid of my coins, I noticed hey, there's a Guard House right there. So I went in and accused him; this time it took. When I went back to the guild, to continue trading, this happened:

<<Alar slaps you across the face!

<<Alar slaps you across the face!

<<Alar slaps you across the face!

<<Alar slaps you across the face!

I mean come on, was that really necessary?

He was conveying his anger in the only way acceptable without getting "in trouble" over getting caught. However, 2 slaps would have conveyed the message. Over that is redundant and infantile.

More than 2 slaps also would consitute consent should you choose to persue that avenue. I'd drop it if I were you though, and laugh all the way to the bank. :-)

It stinks, the only thieves I've caught since the thugs went into effect have both been in the Crossing, so I haven't been able to send the posse after them. Usually the only ones I catch are low circle ones out by Tiger Clan and I just kill them myself. A couple weeks ago I got 2 of them without any favors within a couple days of each other.

Alar has a problem with praying on Traders on the routes getting caught multipul times and being an arse if you catch him. I suggest a few things for you to try. If you catch him in town accuse him to the Guards, if you catch him on a trader route. Thug him. If you just want him beat down find someone willing to do so. Although just keep it IC contact someone IG or maybe a rep of the unguild he belongs to and ask them to have a chat with him. I'll be off duty and home sometime tomorrow afternoon around 6pm est.... :hums: And yes you would still have to find me IG and talk to me about it :grin:

What I dislike is the RetreatX2 + hide routine.

You close to melee range on Alar.
Alar retreats from you.
Alar retreats from you.

You close to melee range on Alar.
Alar retreats from you.
Alar retreats from you.
You point at Alar, ruining his hiding place.
Round time: 2 sec.

Lets start over again...
Now he wants to play.
Alar closes to melee range on you!
I think..
Alar retreats from you.
Alar retreats from you.
::sigh::
You ask, "You plan to just annoy me all day?"

You snap a gold coin at Alar!
A direct hit! The gold coin bounces away and is lost.
Alar is stunned!
Roundtime: 1 second.
You charge a black broadsword with a leather-wrapped grip at Alar. Alar fails to evade. The broadsword lands a heavy strike that tears a small piece of skin from the left calf.
Alar retreats from you.
Alar retreats from you.

Oh bother with it all...he shot some more arrows at me and tried poking me with his dagger a bit, but the whole thing became more a headache than worth my time at it.

I really don't like how it takes 2 days to approach someone but they can instantly retreat out to missile range. I ended up just riding on.

I am absolutely humbled, that jerk Alar gave me two moderate bleeders on an unprovoked backstab with that dagger of his. Gotta hit the gym I guess.

My HE is equal to my Longbow and Composite Bow which are equal to each other (still deciding which missile I want to keep...leaning toward Comp Bow), therefore making all 3 weapons a happy group. I just find I finish things off faster with my HE.

Course, you are the second Trader I have heard praise LX...it might be a good PvP weapon, yet I have found it isn't all that great for hunting critters, which is where I get all of my ranks. I prefer not to PvP, but when attacked, I will fight or flee, depending (yeah, I will not stand up a cyclops...I ain't suicidal...talk to me though when I am 99th).

I ain't honor bound to fight to the death. I prefer the offender just leaves after a few wallops from me than standing there being a pest or wanting me to finish em off. Never a good feeling to kill another player for pettiness, or vice versa die.
