How to deal with a "griefer" ?

Post by Tchey »

Hi there,

Sorry for my english...

We are a small community with a small village (about 10 players, 5 regulars).
Today, someone came to us, and start taking things juste to throw them away a little further.
I moved objects, only to create disorder so we have to clean things after him.
Then he started to destroy our labour, while insulting us in chat.

What can we do with someone like that, who plays to be a pain to the "players", and not to the "character" ?

Well, we have a part of our village that is covered, but some others are not yet.

Character vs character (or PvP or any name you want) is ok, but is there anything to do against the "bad players" that go to "real player vs real player via character" ?

Grieve the griever?

If you know where his hearth fire is perhaps surround it by something he won't be able to destroy.

That or get your fists and the skill "Murder" ready..haha. :lol:

I would suggest walls but that's kind of a waste of time and supplies.

If you have a lot of rocks around you perhaps you could use lots of rune-stones.

this way if he tried to pick one up to move it he wont be able to place it anywhere other then the place he picked it up. If done right, anyways. Not sure if this would be exactly griever-proof but it's worth a shot if you want lol

Now, if he can destroy an actual runestone at this point in the game I would be a little more worried about your characters living into the next day then anything else.

Obviously there is a few ways to get around this but um. Who knows. He probably is stupid. Afterall, he does lame people. I could see the LOL factor for maybe 10 minutes but after that it just gets pretty pathetic to lame someone like that.

Well, he took a wooden plow to write "fuck", and ran naked around the village, so...

We organized our forces, now we have a ranger and soon three soldiers with Rage and stuff to "protect" us (ok, killing others is a kind of protection).
