Entrapment

Ok, so calling it entrapment might be a bit excessive...
what does everyone think about the new(ish) laws that let justices flag you when they're invisible?
To be radical, i'm even going to leave out the pointless option! (having just informed Boomslang's poll that I wasn't there at the time and so have no opinion, which I'm sure you all find fascinating)

No offense to you, but if you break the law it doesn't matter if they are invis or not.Most classes can use magic one way or another so where's the problem?Next you'll be saying its unfair some imms are invis to all except other imms.

The real question is whether justices can flag you just because your mercenary was inside someone else's guildhall.

Well, they can't.... Someone else could've killed the guardian and you might've strolled in there.

And you would walk into another guild after someone else has killed the guardian because...............?

I'm not talking about fair or unfair, just what makes the game more fun. I liked it better when the law was different, it's as simple as that.
I think that, for classes without detect invis, it adds another, unnessesery menial task, ie. going to get a clear potion every time you want to break the law. Either that or leaving it up to luck as to whether there is a justice around. Now in my opinion those are two things that you want to REMOVE from any game: Luck and boring mundane crap. There's already enough of that with training.

Actually what happened was a certain Justice flagged me after knowing nothing but that my merc was in the ranger guild, attacked me, and I fled into the ranger guild guardian, which then proved my guilt, but then, he didn't do it in a lawful way.

saracelrin : You don't need a reason, unless they see it they can't do shizzle.

Justice is kind of.... half-baked in many of their rules, way too many holes, I might just call them swiss cheese from now on.

Law 1 states guardians are protected by the law therefore so is the guild grounds.To be in another guild with a pet alone if hardly anyone else is in town and to be the only one there implies atleast complicity with a crime(killing guild guardian) to thieve from a coffer.so by entering the guild which wasn't his own and not being a justice he there by leaves himself open to being wanted for unlawful entry.

not that this means alot to me,i always play classes with detects.

ahahahaa bOOmslang, i removed that flag. then i put it back on cause the guild guard attacked you

pwned

It was an honest mistake from a new justice, get over it. I think its hilarious what the solution was though. Made me laugh.

Someone could have attacked me at the guild entrance, and when I fled, the merc fled into the guild.

And res, please, when writing my name, use zero's instead of O's. O's make my name look fat, and you don't want to see what a fat illithid looks like.

I don't know if the policy has changed or not, but back in the day Justices couldn't flag unless they were fully visible... or they 'could' but they aren't supposed to. It was in the Justice code, but that was probably about 2 years ago, so it might have changed.

It did change.

i got entrapped today by an invisible justice and so for no other reason than that i think its lame...but i thought it was funny that i talked said justice into not chasing me because i'd turn myself in later. Now, granted he eventually came after me, but it was a pretty half-assed effort, i must say. I did eventuallly turn myself in, though, because hey, i'm a man of my word

Sebryn read my post again.I said complicity with a crime.If you came home and found your next door nieghbors door open and some person you know doesn't belong there is inside what would you think?You would suspect them right off of breaking in.Same applies here.And the guild guardian protects the guild from intrusion from people not from that guild.So the rest of the guild is ok to stand in as long as you don't kill the guardian?We all know that you can't flee into a guild but sometimes pets do.

What's to stop you from thinking that maybe the person in the house isn't looking for the "real" burglar? Twisted Evil

2) Protected areas
------------------

The laws are enforced in the three recall point towns. JUSTICES must be visible when they flag, but JUSTICES do not have to stay visible in town if they are endangered in it. (I.E. they can go invisible or hide if it is to defend themself from pk.) You can check if an area is protected by using the command 'where law'.

enough said?
