Pickpockets. If you see me tottering about with my bag full of goods open, or coin in places you can access, take a chance! I promise, promise, promise I won't kill you. I won't even give much of a chase or demand a manhunt. I swear it.

If I'm being so insecure with my property, it means I'm deliberately doing it for the shadies. In fact, you should all assume this, of anyone. Not just me.

Except the part about assuming that you won't give much of a chase or demand a manhunt, it's probably better not to assume that of everyone.

If only pickpockets could get a few NPC soldiers to say this.

The funny little foreign man

I often hear the jingle to -Riunite on ice- when I read the estate name Reynolte, eve though there ain't no ice in Zalanthas.

I had a character once who should have been the prize of every PP out there.
NEVER had anything come up missing, though. :(

I agree with JDR.

You find a rusty, armed landmine and pick it up.

I've only been pick-pocketed when my character was sleeping. =/

That was most likely one of the many poor citizens of Zalanthas then and not an actual pick-pocket. =P

I would like to encourage more bearded women and men wearing dresses to put an end to this gender role situation.

The secret to great RP is having the balls to be weird and the brains to make it eloquent.

I'd like to encourage more shirtless women, men afraid to take their shirt off, and elves that look neither male nor female to a human's eye.

I can't say I really know how the code works too well, so whatever. I'd hope that it requires some degree of skill to steal from someone who's sleeping in a common sleeping area, though. Though that probably means the hide skill, meaning not pick-pockets. ;)

     I'd like to encourage players to take chances with the way they express their characters, both stylistically and emotionally.  My style of emoting may be best for me, while yours is entirely different - which is a good thing.  The same can be said for speech patterns, preferred psychological make-ups, and so on.  Push that envelop, and don't worry so much about things like perfect spelling or appeasing another's sense of what "good" role-play is.  Armageddon can be like an adult playpen.  Create, explore, and have fun!
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

stealing from sleeping folks is automatic win.  However stealing from awake folks is either win, lose and don't get crim flagged or lose and half the city turns against you.

Look at people before you start interacting with them. My characters tend to change clothes, depending on the occasion. Sometimes even disguise themselves. If I'm wearing a wig and kohl, and silk when I usually wear sandcloth.... You likely don't recognize me.

Plus I know a lot of people have been using tdesc. Don't forget to look at that as well!!
The man asks you:
     "'Bout damn time, lol.  She didn't bang you up too bad, did she?"
The man says, ooc:
     "OG did i jsut do that?"

I second this. I try to look at everyone I interact with every time. Even those that I've run into a thousand times.

I do... I just wish look without a modifier didn't echo to anyone but the person they looked at.

you did the biggest mistake of your life

God, first people complain that look is used too much...now that it is not used enough.

My PC (current) Rarely looks at other PCs...he simply does not care enough about any of you.

I think people were complaining about the echo, not so much the actual look. Though I agree it shouldn't echo. :-p

I've said this before, but I'll bring it up again.

Use hemote and watch more. It's amazing how much people miss sometimes. If you're talking to someone and focusing mostly on them, WATCH them. Just getting the wach echo prompts many to use hemote.

I've thought about doing the latter more.

Then I wondered if people will then start complaining about there been too many 'watch' echoes, similar to the complaints about the 'look' echoes.

I always feel oddly flattered when I notice other PCs watching mine. Like they think I'm interesting or something.

I watch other PCs in the hope that they will then be inspired to hemote, and then they usually don't, and I'm disappointed :(

The only reason, when I notice people watching me, is usually because they suspect I'm up to good.

Unfortunately, it's usually true. ;)

I think people mud sexing/ or eluding to it should watch each other and hemote, as well.. I mean love making and making out is an art of both obviousness ans subtlety.

this also works when your pc and his mate encounter another pc, you and your mate hemote sign conversation about the new pc...
