Thief's diary

[JustasJ]

A few days ago, bored by searching for a mine, I decided to be a thief in this game. Seriously, I taught my main character Tresspassing and then Theft while I am on full Change. Since I regard sandbox games like this one as a good place for social experimentation, I have decided to test for how long can you survive, living as a thief in this game. I will post my adventures on this topic for everyone to see, so you would not assume I am a regular thief who is a griefer and nothing more. So, my adventures of thieving begin:

Day one: I stole 7 clovers and one gauze from my neighbour but left him a runestone asking him to contact me if he wants his stuff back. Afterall, he doesn't seem like playing anymore. I saw his palisade a week before and it hasn't changed at all when I saw it yesterday.

Day two: Stole two chests with raw meat from a claim next to some village. Since they were not online at the time and held their brick gates locked up while their stuff was pretty much out in the open I assumed they will not mind taking two of their chests with me. The stuff they contained was quite enough for me to eat for two or three days. Of course I left some chantrelles and pumpkin flesh for them as a trade.

Wait for updates of my work

If the people who lost things could map it out, it would be pretty cool to see how far you go in your wicked ways

[JustasJ]

Not too wicked since I am into returning their stuff if they ask it from me in a pleasant manner.

Btw, I destroyed some lame newb's lean-to and the guy sleeping there dissapeared
Also, I browsed through like 50 cupboards in some guy's camp to see nothing in them. Put a live rabbit there as a souvenir for him.

well, last map, I was alive for 4 months without death.
While going on many killing sprees and stealing anything I wanted.
But, I was also in WV. With that, I had access to q220 thanes and a q500 anvil and a q204 smithy hammer I could smith q180 steel plates, helmets and swords with.

We caught this thief going through a cupboard. He is dead, move along.

Well I guess that answers that question then.

[Jackard]

yea but what if you play a smart thief

[Alamarian]

yea but what if you play a smart thief

Also, what if you play a smart thief who is actually a thief, instead of a forced-trade-thief person. Thieves don't leave peace offerings after they steal things.

Didn't really happen. I can still access my character.
