Posted November 19, 2014 I propose a free deed stake that you can plant that has a timer on it. After 1-2 hours, the deed automatically vanishes - or similar time-frame.Paying for a deed just to kill unique seems awfully wasteful; although that is what I and many other have done in the past.This would also resolve the recent stealing of Kyklops corpse.Thoughts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 19, 2014 This would be used for grief in more ways than I could even begin to type out. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 19, 2014 Just trying to figure decent idea.Help is always appreciated 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 19, 2014 You don't even need to plant a deed, just kill it ON a deed. lure it to the nearby one, if you don't trust the owner, lure it to your personal deed. You can lure the things across the map if it has you targeted, or you can bait it with arrows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) I'm sure you could come up with something more realistic, maybe like a huuuuge tent or gazebo made from chain barding which could be erected in minutes, surrounded by sharpened shafts and lava fields.

Posted November 19, 2014 Or we could just do more than plain black and white rules so the gms can actually do when events get griefed 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 19, 2014 Got it. Neither care to think of options to resolve an issue.Could be, if no unique enters free-deed in 2 min, it dissolves. Before shooting down a notion, maybe contribute?Some people dont get that I am trying to find solution and all they do is mock. Saddening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 19, 2014 Lets not get this thread shut down.If you have no real input or just want to mock; stay off it while people try to think of good resolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 20, 2014 Lets not get this thread shut down.If you have no real input or just want to mock; stay off it while people try to think of good resolution. My suggestion was more than serious. We dont need fancy ingame items and mechanics to cover a problem that comes only from people griefing when we have a whole team of staff to deal with that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 20, 2014 I agree - just saying; lets keep it from getting shut down in the process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) okay, I was at the slaying today and as surprised as the rest with the corpse theft. a reasonable proposal would be that an area is found within the local area of the unique and a deed formed. then after the slaying the deed can be disbanded. at 1 silver a month that's actually 15irons per hour! so imagine the deed is active for 6 hours ...that's not even 1c. so lets say it's active for 18 hours so everyone can get organised. (3c) founding cost 4.12s (1.21s tiles + 3s upkeep) upkeep wastage -3c disbanding gives 2.97s total cost to a slaying committee 1.15s all it takes is an alt, a log/shaft and a carving knife! I'm sure that the 20+ people present would contribute 6 coppers each to cover the expenses and ensure a fair roll after the fight! ...I know I would! (I mean, what's a single blood worth? anything from 50c to 3s. so you're not gonna be out of pocket!) Edited November 20, 2014 by JDBooker 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Moderate hosted events. With rules. Edited November 20, 2014 by HolyGoat 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 20, 2014 I wanna butcher the dragon. Using a deed for the purpose of a slaying is pretty damned abusable and if you want enforceable rules carry out your slayings on a pvp server Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 20, 2014 Using a deed for the purpose of a slaying is pretty damned abusable How is it abusable? I propose a free deed stake that you can plant that has a timer on it.

An alternative: there's a 'team' option in wurm. When a member of a team kills an unique, lock the corpse to the team leader, so that only he/she can pick items. This mechanics applies only for uniques. For a similar time with 'player' corpses. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
