You are your own sockpuppets, schizo. Just switch accounts.

That is categorically preposterous. The best way to tread these storied halls involves loyalty to a singular username, to construct an effluvient reputation for philosophical intrigue and quality contributions. I bite my thumb at you, sir!

Sorry Sir, I cannot read. Could you please read your post aloud and post the recording online? I would be very much appreciated.

Once more, I will plug this idea.

Elaboration:
-Getting KOd is not a nice thing to happen.
-However, the worst part about getting KOd is that all your Equipment, Inventory, and even Study Screen will have all their contents ripped off (even if the attacker doesn't need said items, they're generally thrown on the ground just out of spite.)
-Rage being cheap potentially has benefits, it would make sense to try it out on an experimental world. (Mainly, people would have the option to defend their Personal Claims from fresh alts.)
-Making Theft expensive would mean that losing everything on your character is gated behind the attacker having Theft.
-Obvious problem is that people could make gangs of 10 people who all have Rage, while only one of them has Theft (rushed at the expense of not having as much combat stat investment) but in a group vs. group setting this character would make an obvious target, while 10v1 probably wouldn't make much difference anyway. (More expensive Rage would probably still mean 3v1 I guess.)

Side ideas:
-Require Rage to bash even an inactive Claim (only if Rage is made cheaper, I guess.)
-Cooldown on looting items from players was tried and didn't work (a meta emerged where people filed their inventory with sticks, making it impossible to loot their Tsacks or even Mrobe) but perhaps a few seconds of hourglass was needed for the initial opening of the Loot Window could provide some opportunity for counter-play, effectively a way to protect your downed friends from getting looted if you can fight back.

Which hearthling has theft out of the 5 who aren't immediately pulping somebody?
