...since the laws of Ayamao confiscate ALL your equipment for ONE NPC kill.

No. The laws are perfect.

If murder was okay, we would allow it in our own societies. It's not. Even if it's one NPC.

K thanx.

The reason dropping your EQ is okay is because people famously hide things before they go to jail, it's nothing new.

I'll take your word for it.

:(

I guess that makes every player on Sk a cheater.

But I still have to point out... Murder is not ok kids.

Not every player drops their eq before they turn themselves in. Maybe a large number do, but a large number also cheat in other ways - it doesn't legitimize their actions.

I have asked for and paid for pardons on my current character twice already. Yes, I could spend 20 minutes afk and scoop up my eq right after, but I am not a cheater.

I really do not see the problem with it, it is a legitimate way to hide funds which might get frozen in 'real' cases, and it is basically the same here. There is still a chance someone might find it.

EDIT: Addendum, I do have a slight problem with voluntarily giving yourself up to twink out banishment.

None of it is cheating, but is lame. If I saw a situation where someone planned to hide their stuff and did so, they might find the stuff was not there when they returned.

So, since you're being a massive jackass, I'm going to assume you're working on fixing the jail system, so that it's not a complete piece of crap? If not, I think you need to take that BS elsewhere.

No, it's cheating. Whether the immortals decide to punish this cheating is up to them, but it's still cheating.

Maybe the law system shouldn't suck so bad. You expect someone to sit in jail for like 20 actual hours, AND lose all their eq?

Since this is a GAME, I don't really think I should have to spend half an hour in jail, get executed, and lose all my EQ and money in the bank, for killing a NPC.
