Right, like actually torturing him?

Or, you are right, we should give him the standard "rot in my cells for 7 days while I completely ignore you". That's much more exciting for newbies.

*shrugs* Deportation? Hold him for a couple days, give him a verbal warning, release? Take his gold? etc. Just seems like better things to do that killing off the guys characters right off the bat. Just feel like it gives a bad impression of the game. I'm glad the guy stuck around, but I don't feel like that the reaction most people would have.

I'd say it would depend entirely on the player--some would hate that, others would love to have something interesting happen in the first month. I mean, he's got a fame point!

It's a new character, it's not as if he is actually losing anything.

If anything, I think it makes the player feel that big things can and *do* happen. Really, it's an achievement on its own, much like getting a first lordship.

Just because you feel he wouldn't be losing anything doesn't mean he isn't. In fact, that's a very, very naive way of looking at it. He could have formed a relationship that would have seen him having a lordship in a couple months (purely hypothetical situation), but since his character has been killed off, he has to start over again, and it could be over a year before he gets another chance to get a lordship position.

Also, whether or not he could have heard you mocking him is irrelevant. It is a petty thing to do to a new player, and can also spread via word of mouth.

If he could have gotten to where you say he could have gotten in 1.5 months, why would it take him a year to get there again with another character? He can just as easily use this to his advantage, you know. People on a quest for vengeance against a common enemy can make for powerful assets.

We really are starting to get slightly away from topic now, can we please split this off and we can get back to trash talking about rebel scum? Thanks.

Pah, he could always run in Barca's Judge election and play up the sympathy card. If he played it at all well, I could see how his character could be Lady Justice Flavia Constantia :)

So, think there'll be a huge battle before winter kicks in? Not asking who'd attack, but will this dose of silence continue for long or soon be shattered?

There was plans to be, but I am not sure we will see one now.

Wow, Madina was outnumbered? How is that possible?
