[CF-Devel] two new small additions

Mon Aug 4 17:00:20 CDT 2003

Updating my own post since there has been IRC and Forum discussion on
this Outlaw thing.

These changes to the initial proposal have been suggested which I am
willing to go along with...

Use a counter rather than a flag,
Failed stealing attempts against other players, attacking or killing a
player who is not an outlaw will all add a point to this counter.

Getting killed *by another player* will remove a point.  Other actions
could also be set up to remove points.

Dm command toggle_outlaw will become of course set_outlaw...

The Who command will show something relating to level of badness.

Killing a outlaw will get you a bounty (a body part, a dropped item, or
what have you.) 

I also suggest the following changes -

a cap on the counter (rather low to avoid players doing too much damage
trying to be the baddest fellow (which will happen)- something like ~10
levels of badness I was thinking.)

Attacking or killing a non outlaw player gives you a point ONLY WHEN you
are NOT peaceful.  Otherwise it is considered an accident.  If you have
been killed by a sneaky peaceful fellow - call a DM to ajudicate.

And before you send a scandalized reply about adding organizing PVP -
consider that there is currently *no* repercussions or tracking done for
Players killing Players.  This would allow for such local server rules
as destroying or banning players with a specific outlaw score (via
script even).

      This flag will reset when you die or when it is toggled by a DM.
