Well yeah but who're they gonna prey on if not on the others? Because robbing eachother is counterproductive.

The Bandits have to work together. Any Rogue or Solo Bandit will just be banned from the game.

You know like real life concequences. People will ban you from existance.

[Shooer]

At that point you aren't bandits, but an enemy state.

A bandit in this game would be a solo or small group player that preyed on people between settlements.  I think one of the things that will be actually protecting people in a settled area would be the hirelings that are employed as guards.

Hardly a lot of bandits lived in small communities.

You just need enough to prevent forceful arbitration.

[Darvi]

Y'know, I see this less as a game and more as a social experiment about how people'd behave if death were cheap.

At that point you aren't bandits, but an enemy state

AKA war.

[Neonivek]

AKA war

Not War. Since this is essentially that the communities you Ransack can all pray to god who can thus just outright ban you from existance.

I'd hate to think what you guys think of the Mafia ("ENEMY STATE!")

You are like the personification of arguments it pretty interesting

Also damn you Darvi

What.

Also damn you Darvi

I barely even feel the need to ask why.

[Neonivek]

What.

Yes that is how the game works. Everyone in this game has a resource called "Influence" which they can use to pray to god to make him do stuff for them.

[Darvi]

Oh. I thought you were talking about admins or something.

[Alkhemia]

How so exactly?

[Neonivek]

Oh. I thought you were talking about admins or something.

It is sort of the thing... they get admin powers when they pool "influence"

It is one of the few parts of the game I really disagree with. There is concequences for being a jerk... and then there is just arbitrary powers.

If people could use influence to hire Hireling bounty hunters that would be fine...

How so exactly?

Everyday everyone gets a resource called influence that can be used to do things like hire hirelings and a quite a few other things including outright banning PLAYERS from the game (apperantly). This resource can be traded to other players and thus create the ability to pool influence.

I say that it is "Pray to god" because the abilities created by influence do not have clear cause and effect. They just work essentially being the "power of god"

[Darvi]

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

[Neonivek]

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Bandit?

[Darvi]

I was just quoting the Princess Bride to convey that you appear to have a misconception. Not sure which, but I'm positive that it relates to the term "death penalty".
