I am excited to see if Jazet posts on this thread. I think senior staff of all MUDs should take an interest in lively discussion about their game!
EDIT - I definitely need coffee... Jazet, #1 question, in your opinion what separates your game from other fantasy games that players can choose from? #2 What would you say to players who have stopped playing or are unsure whether to play? #3 Can you give us a brief blurb on your staffing philosophy, how you approach the game from your perspective?

Quick addition - I'm not saying a throwaway mugger can't be fun, I just don't think it's worth the time commitment or the very real possibility that an entire city of players will turn on you in a very questionable RP manner. I prefer to avoid putting myself in situations that multiple muds and multiple players have shown they do not RP very well with. Keeps the frustration low.

Kronibas, I think a lot of people read your stuff because...
1) You post a lot... Like a lot a lot
2) On the very small off chance you are not only accurate but have the context right than whatever you post would be significant so by default we have to at least consider the possibility you're not just throwing shit against the wall (again).
3) I'm so sick of reading some of your nonsense that I made a GDB account specifically to post in ask the staff to get clarification because you refuse to provide any references yourself
4) I'm not a fan of staff but staff 'tripping' over answering themselves. Ramp up the propaganda speak man, ramp it up to 11.
EDIT - To put #2 in perspective. If ARM indeed did encourage pedophila that would be a huge deal with very real repercussions and a moral obligation to do something about it. If ARM indeed had spamcraft code that auto-marks your account notes that'd be a big deal and there'd be a lot of people curious about where that trigger line is so as to avoid it themselves. If ARM staff specifically went after shadowboard posters in a byn rpt to kill them off that'd be a pretty big deal and it'd be some obvious staff abuse to add to the dump thread where we have such things.... I bring these things up because none of that is actually true to my knowledge. I'd be more likely to believe that staff was just clearing the decks with the byn than taking the time to specifically target people that they have investigated and determined to be shadowboard posters. Like sure it's possible, but it's way more probable they were killing a bunch of clan members. Which makes more sense?

I don't know if you know this, but warriors/rangers who twink have a high enough defense that they can beat people to death with their hands. I can show you logs of Elrum with no armor and no weapon beating newb warriors and other rangers into KO with his fists in the arena. They had weapons.
EDIT - So some max str dwarf probably isn't going to KO a 50+ day players ranger/warrior who knows what they're doing.

The only feasible way I can see someone play a Mugger in a city is to be a Templar or a guard and just use their IC station as a way to bully people into paying them, also the fact crimcode doesn't apply to them. Do we know OOCly that if they attack you and trigger the guards beating you down they'll be in trouble, sure. But ICly and metagame wise it's the only longterm viable option in my mind.

Yes, because rangers get scan and listen which are arguably more essential in cities. Also because rangers get access to medical skills and poisoning which are also more useful in cities than outside.

RGS if you wish up during an RPT or HRPT or at any time and ask staff to kill you in a cool way they will do so. They have stated multiple times on the forums that wishing up to suicide or die via NPC or die in an IC manner in an IC situation is permitted and that they tend to help players with such things...

It's true. If you're a thief in any capacity you better have enough money to bribe the Templerate not to off you because there will be a PC led crusade for your heart and head on a pike the moment you steal over 300 sid from anyone. Doesn't matter if they didn't see you do it anyway, have the same cloak as the thief? Have you ever been caught sneaking, anywhere, ever? Are you the same height as the thief? Did someone managed to look at you and despite having a tdesc set and your entire body covered including your eyes via sunslists they quoted your mdesc to the authorities?

You technically were wrong if that is not the specific post by Nyr, because now the one you are talking about once against doesn't exist and there's no reference to it.
Goddamnit Kronibas why did you have to say that.
EDIT - Not only are you wrong again but 3 staffers confirmed it was a 'joke' on the GDB.

Don't cheapen a thread that I am trying to endorse playing ArmageddonMUD in, you're hurting your own cause!
EDIT - You still can. And if you can't just make a luirs and spamwalk to tuluk

Not really Malken, I didn't get it either. Just looked like gibberish reply to me because I lacked the contextual reference of whatever shamin is. Like I said, I wouldn't have said for someone to ask the staff if it was clear whether it was a joke or not. We now know the answer, stop calling me stupid =(
EDIT - I am as smart as any other poster on this board. Even the super weed scientists and the borderline genius IQ ones! Okay!

Nergal responded, kudos to Nergal. I like you. We have an official response that isn't a linkback.
EDIT - Adhira also understands the purpose of ask the staff. Kudos to Adhira.
