Gullander wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 6:51 am I'll make a comment similar to what I've made in the past and fits in with justj99 thoughts, as long as the game rules and mechanics allow for a class called outlaws they have a right to play the game to their enjoyment even if we personally don't like it, don't like them, or think all outlaws should be outlawed. But wait a moment and read the rest. I too have had friends who were or became at one point outlaws but I perhaps see a difference. These outlaws killed others, getting to their count of 5, by either avenging friends they thought were wronged, or to put this kindly, got hot under the collar (angry fast) when another player did something stupid or infringed on what they were doing as pests. But there is a different breed of outlaws who are always on the hunt for a fresh kill and anyone will do. There is no honor involved or even anger that is just what is fun for them to do. In these cases they still have a right to play that way according to the rules, but other rules in these cases I think come into play and I think make the discussion of this thread valid. Being a general menace to a far ranging variety of players at least in my mind crosses the line on infringing on others ability to enjoy the game and perhaps not on the individual occurrence but the cumulative occurrences warrants a tougher than usual penalty in severity and duration. I think there is room for both outlaw considerations, the occasional who has an issue with specific players, and the hunter who has adopted the profile of an outlaw and like real life outlaws take advantage of anyone they think they can. Perhaps there is room for two levels of outlaw consequences, the present one and one harsher for habitual outlaws. But this doesn't seem to be just my opinion or that of other players, the game obviously thinks there is something less than desirable about the actions of the outlaw or there wouldn't be a stigma about being one and a danger imposed by the game mechanics on one, and it wouldn't be asked in the GM application if someone had been an outlaw unless it was frowned upon. Yes be an outlaw if you wish it is your right to be one, but like the dangers of joining a clan it shouldn't be thought an outlaw can simply carry on with his business without eventually paying a price for doing an activity the game itself in it's rules condemns. Nor should the outlaw be angry about a thread like this discussing how to deal with him or her. The outlaw is already condemned by the very game he has chosen to play, that his lot may take a turn for the worse should not surprise him or her.

I like it! On a deserted island while being attacked by the guards.
With 0 skill upgrades as well.

On one hand, I'd like more punishments for the players who are a constant pain in my.... On the other hand, I have several friends in game who are usually outlaws.

I'd be up for more strict punishments for those that are "problem players" and always cause problems. BUT, I think the game is intended for us to find and punish those players. If they get attacked by everyone who sees them in game, consistently, then being an outlaw will be a lot less fun for them.

As it is now, outlaws walk around freely, with little regard for other players. The onus is on some of us to take a different approach, I think.

Everyone, round up actual in game posses. Get your friends or others who are law abiding players, and let's make being an outlaw scary for them.

I'm not a big fan of pvp usually. But, maybe we need to take a different approach.

If you read, this, then consider yourself deputized! Go in game and deputize others too! Watch out outlaws, we might just come for you!
