If these are the guys mentioned in your other thread, then I can tell you I ran into them at your place. They seem to be from Brofica and Brotopia.

Mudkipz said you stole Brotopia's Loom (which sounds pretty unbelievable), at that they were going to watch for you thursday.

If this is true, I imagine they don't actually have your scents or they would've summoned you already.

Also, all this summoning stuff is new info to me. Might try and add it to the wiki if I get more specific information.

It is extremely unlikely that they don't have your scents if you knocked one of them out. If they want it, they've got it.

Then you are able to track summon and steal back / kill, but be warned, killing them will leave a murder scent just like knocking them out did. Escalation doesn't often have a happy ending.

Can I really be tracked simply for defending myself?

I'm not sure if you are actually still making death threats here, but I advise you to stop it. Lazer knew he couldn't do anything with 12 HP and just wanted to get knocked out.
For security reasons I have taken your assault scent and I'm also willed to summon you for this matter if you break the promise made with Potjeh.

If you didn't make a death treat in the post I quoted, I'd advise you to choose your words more careful the next time.

Are you even sure the claimstaked area says it's Mudkipz, the person who stole your items?

You can't store them in crates or whatsoever. They'll just disappear.

It's true what Mudkipz said, before we went off making a new village, I had to lift the Claimstake I had put there to prevernt further plundering from everyone who lived nearby, after an hour we tried to get all the stuff that was there, but the loom was missing and suddenly found a new owner at Vinnie's home. Someone even saw him transporting it away. So obviously we didn't had the scents, and back then we were also told to rest on that matter since it's not worth killing someone again just because of the loom theft (It was also said he has taken multiple carts, but there's no actual evidence for that).

The summoning stuff is easy, all you need is a proper scent, locate the hearth and rightclick on the hearth -> Summon perpetrator, the person will be instantly summoned and engaged in combat.

I'd just like to make it clear that he hasn't made any promises yet. I've asked him to stay away from Brofrica, but he hasn't been online since then so there's no response yet.

Scents in containers do last indefinitely. It's a well-known bug, but fixing it would involve gutting the inventory code, so it hasn't been fixed yet.

And you can't use assault scent for summoning. You need battery, murder, theft or vandalism.

Tbh, if I try to put a scent in a container it will just disappear. :/

Didn't the guy before you, said that you can get summoned for the assault scent when you knocked someone out? I had tried this on Mudkipz and apparently I could summon him when I tried it this morning.
I even screenshotted it.

That's battery. Assault is just initiating combat.

And are you sure you're not holding ctrl instead of shift :P
