Option to forgive crime

Postby overtyped » Tue Apr 27, 2021 11:47 pm

If two parties want to reconcile, and the aggressor doesn't want scents, the two can meet up in person, and the victim can right-click and choose to forgive crimes and that will remove scents and outlaw from him. Other crimes will not be forgiven.
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

But why?

Seems like a thing that would be mostly just abused and used for bad.

You have to toggle criminal acts so its not like you would accidentally leave any scents.

Sounds like mafia will take over : "forget the murder of your friend or we destroy you all."

Nah.

Raiders already salt and burn the earth of spruce caps without a palisade up, so whats going to change exactly? If they murder them it's not like they'd be able to forgive the crimes anyways, and if they have a palisade up, whos going to be able to force them to forgive anything?

There are lots of reasons. For example, let's say you aggro and steal from someone you are allied with, and didn't realize, they could forgive you.
Other situations include giving back the stuff in exchange for forgiving crimes.

Sounds like the kind of thing that gives very minor convenience with the possibility of weird PvP exploits we don't expect.
