Levine,

That is a point well taken. And as you said, the real underlying motive for the event is to encourage thieves to be Maskarrans. And I would like for them to be the role models for all thieves.

At the request of some people... the event is still on-going. I'm not going to call it a "wash".

Thieves who have a lot riding on this event, please PM me anyway.

So I get it -- the people who lost their roses feel cheated because they would have liked an opportunity to keep their rose. Yea, no, you completely missed the whole point. :/ No, I do get it... if they would have roleplayed their theft instead of using code, you would be ok. Because they didn't ro...

And I'm just throwing this out there, so people can see where I'm coming from... Right now, thieves don't really have a "reason" to steal. The rules already reign them in as it is. Thieves end up not practicing their trade of THIEVERY because there's no point. They wind up being a weaker v...

Benorf, Thank you for seeing both sides of the argument. You are where I am - trying to find balance for a class that's under-utilized. Pickpockets in RL are simply amazing. I was watching one video. The guy even TOLD HIM what stuff he was going to steal from him, drew him up on stage, and then proc...

Mairenn, I do thank you for the feedback. I did notice how you wanted to round up a posse to find the thief - and I so loved that. "Somehow" you lost your rose, and you believe you knew who did it and wanted to do something about it. That was the RP that I was envisioning for those who los...

My intent of the party was to allow a variety of methods and means for the roses to be acquired. A con artist could have scammed them out of the roses. A thug, who lacks the wit to pull off a scam or the sleight of hand skills, to simply bash someone over the head and mug their victim. Or... a pick ...

Althasizor, I think you missed my point. What would have been acceptable to you? If the thief was allowed to use the hide code, and the steal code... but then smoted "Someone runs through the crowd, ducking behind a crowd of people" or would you want 'Someone is hiding amongst this group o...

The fact that they're suspended in some sort of "hidden" state on its own demands explanation. If they're "hidden" in a crowded market, they absolutely need to explain themselves when they move across that crowded market to steal something out of someone's hand. Again, are our e...

I've moved this discussion regarding the theft of roses over to the general discussion page.

This is in reference to a post that was originally posted here... http://www.forgottenkingdoms.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=22925&p=148331#p148331 I've been monitoring the "play" during the first couple of days to see how things are going. Is the event working like I envisioned i...

Still, it's a good scene explaining the Cult of Mask) ------------------------------------------------------------------------...

It fixes the problem... but at the expense of having a "look out" tower. I thought the Mezzanine was a cool idea. It's only when track is used does it become a problem.

I would like to thank everyone that came out to the event. I'm hoping the follow up to the event is just as ... "eventful" as the gala itself. There will be those who will now try to steal / take / physically manhandle those roses from the party goers. Please adhere to the rules listed abo...

I beg to differ. When you get to the Grand Mezzanine, it's more of a "look out" station rather than 'closest' room. From that room, you can't go to the North Gate... you have to go down, and then over to High Road, and then up to the north gate. However, from that room, you can see the Nor...

Roses will be handed out at the party to all the party goers on Friday. They will be asked to 'return the rose in good health' in one IC fortnight (1 OOC week). This means that the Rose was returned to the merchant before the last rose petal fell... It's during that 1 OOC week that the competition o...

Thanks to Elisabeth for helping with the Time and Date thing...

On a side note... if there are any bards that wish to show case their talents, I'm all for this! I would love for bards to come out of the wood work and perform their craft - whether that's play music, sing songs, or spin tales! Entertain the crowd! Payment can be arranged for your performance!
