Good or Bad idea?Pro's n Con's.Take a look ;p

[produno]

ok i recently accuired another character that i have been using to pk a certain-well i wnt go into that ;p.But shortly i will have little use for the character so i were thinking as guild rules are neutral moral+ to stay in guild,why not use him as a guild pker and put sum use to him.

First ill explain the character and his stats:
Name: __stu__
Lvl:35 - 57%
Con: 17.x (need to check)
Str:61+
Dex:40+
Int:57
Wis:40+
Axe:48+
Bow:30+
Moral:Evil (atm ;p)
Also sum pot skill.

Onli select guild members should have access to him,meaning long standing members and most trustworthy,if anyone with acces to him leave the guild then the password will be changed for security.(if all goes well maybe have a poll on who should have acces to the character)

The Q of multying,Ok some ppl dnt agree with multies but whats got to be done has got to be done to keep this character 'usefull' (personaly i dnt mind if its multied or not,but think it would be best multied).

Your probly reading this thinking 'well whats the point in having a guild pker'.
Well let me explain it to u ;p, soma seems to be becoming more and more full of idiots,mobstealers,drop stealers,cowards ect.u cant loose moral on them bcause u will loose ur proud blue name.so u get the guild pker to do the dirty work ;p,they then leave u alone and u can get on happily doing what ur doing with no hassle .I havnt detailed everything here but u get the general idea.

Please post Pro's and Con's of what u think of this idea,And if u back this or not.But think of it not as a devil pker but a pker who kills for right and fights evil to protect and keep safe the members of athanatus .

Sorry for the longwinded post lol,and thankyou all for reading .

It's not a bad idea Prod, I agree that since the return of the PK 'rule' most of Soma's population has had some sort of experience of the people you mention.

Well, it would be nice to be able to extract a little revenge and take out some frustration on the little bast.....buggers and to be able to do so without moral loss is very attractive.

Multi-ing the char would give us a good char in a short space of time in comparison to normally levelling at least.

If the char is left unguilded, it would not be associated with the guild, therefore no tit-for-tat retaliation killings.
Effectively an anonymous assassin.

If multi-ed then the 'select' few get to level the char, doing the stat they like to do rather than the ones they dont. Though in the interests of fairness, if its your turn to do one you dont like, you have to take your turn
(please refer to Con's[/size])

Con's[/size]

Most of the select few, have good char themselves and can look after theirselves. They can also retaliate themselves, and have done, often to help a lower levelled char in the guild)

Time scale - yes, a multi-ed char does gain stats quickly, but most of us are trying to achieve something with our chars - either a particular stat, level, weapon, aura, crafting skill etc and would everyone be prepared to spend time away from their char??

Having to do stats you hate getting, even though it's your turn to do it

Questions[/size] - Whose account is it?
Do we have all the details required to keep char secure? (I'm guessing yes, as you mentioned changing password)

Payment - What suggestions do you have for keeping the account active?

I'm sure the others will have other pro's and con's and questions

Thats about my 1/125th of a pint's worth. (Based on regional prices)

[produno]

the character is mine atm,but im willing to give to guild so strictly speaking the character will belong to who ever has access to multying BUT onli while they are in athanatus(unless reasons discussed with other members).Not sure about payment as i pay for mine and my g/f's atm but a disscussion could be held at l8r date concerning that.

*edit/ Yes i have secret answer ,but no 1st payment (but dnt need first payment unless wanting to change secret answer which we wnt need to do).

I like the idea in principle, though I have reservations about the practicalities. Although the idea of multis does not appeal to me generally due mainly, in truth, to not knowing who the hell you're dealing with, if we know all the players, it's a different ball game. We would also not be doing it to obtain an "uber" character, but rather to neutralise the threats already posed to us.

Mark's post seems to have covered most of the points that spring to mind for me.

On the Pro side :-

1) I particularly like the idea of __STU__ remaining unguilded, thereby disassociating Athanatus from any of his nefarious activities

2) As many of us are experienced players, we can achieve good results quite quickly. We can also help by tanking, although this might nullify the anonymity angle somewhat.

3) He could be used upon tw@ty "blues" without moral problems. Let's face it, there are just as many good morals deserving of a slap.

4) We could "specialise" when statting him, such as someone doing Int, someone Skilling etc.

And the Cons :-

1) Biggest one I see is who pays for him ? And how ?

2) If we agree to do it, we need to stick to it. Might be hard to keep track, but we could have a thread here posting when and what we are doing, and stats accruing.

3) Equipment might be a minor problem. We can craft his stuff, but he'd have no guild access nor be able to come to town.

So saying, I have a couple of ideas. We have talked for some time about a storage guild. How about we set it up and __Stu__ joins that ? That would give him easy access to equipment.

Also, we have some members who are unable to play due to financial constraints. I wonder if they would be willing to participate in the levelling ? Not the same as their own characters, I know, but just a thought.

I personally do not like multied characters. I know that they are there but I just do not like to take part in it. I mean like most of us, this character was my first one created and I stuck to it with any diffects it has.

apart from that, I really would not have the time to join. I do not find time to level my charactor which takes an average of 1 hr from my lowest stat to get .1

I will stay out of this guys, just cause i do not have time and it was always something i preeched about.

Btw if really needed i would not mind loosing some of my blueish colour. if really for a good reason.

[Khetti]

Well.. Personally i think it is a good idea.. and i would not mind "Multi-ing" him for a good cause ;P

And as everyone else has said.. who will pay for him..?We COULD all take in in turns (lol). But everyone would have to be hontest to when they have to pay

Good idea Prod
