Yes, I believe we are all aware of such tactics. Thanks for writing it out. Of course this only encourages more potential asshats to take that next step to full blown griefing. This shit was going on 17 years ago when server's populations could absorb a community of douchebags, here, the population is so small that too many PK attacks or griefing usually results in a loss of players. I'm not saying that Felucca tactics should be abandoned altogether but I think we should all realize that too much griefing has negative repercussions and we will reap what we sow. In other words if we encourage griefing to such an extent that it causes folks to simply quit then we'll be playing in our own cesspool of limited players with a majority of them being the griefers and bottom feeders. Yes this sounds as though I'm advocating Trammel. I am not, I'm simply stating that this is not the old days of UO and is not the UO Renaissance of yesteryear. This is a private free shard with a limited player base and like it or not we as players have to show a little restraint to foster an environment in which more players will be attracted to play here and hopefully have a good experience when they do. It's shard PR and unfortunately we are all in marketing whether you signed up for it or not. Not to be holier than thou but maybe if it had been written as a "What to look out for: Guild Security" type of manual. That way it wouldn't look as though you're telling people to go out and rape the faces of all that oppose you (I personally like that idea, but as I said.....restraint is sometimes warranted)
Yeah LesClaypool is one weird dude, and this is coming from a guy that lures serpents on people for shits and giggles.
