AMIA ARCHIVE • View topic - [IC]Moribund and Benwick: Apparent Grave Pranks

Several older graves on Moribund and in Benwick's graveyard show signs of recent digging and disturbance. Anyone who bothers to dig down to see what is going on here would discover that various pieces of bodies are missing from the corpses contained within, which have sometimes been turned so they are upside down in their coffins and in one case in Moribund are folded in half, and other sorts of minor desecrations of the graves and bodies. In Cordor, several heavily rotted parts might be come across tucked behind barrels and in odd places. Some of the graves in both graveyards also have abyssal writing on them, which if translated appear to be an attempted by a magically inept and uneducated individual to place some sort of curse on the grave. All in all, this appears to be the work of a less than sane in the head prankster.

//Before Tormie gets upset after what happened in the last grave defiling thread, I did do both of these IG, and there is a reason behind it which a handful of people would potentially pick up on if they use their noggins, this is not just random crap for the fun of it.

The guards would be flabbergasted, as the graves are emptied before their very eyes.

// I am sure that what he meant by doing it IC, was that you should do it IC with a couple of players guarding the graveyard in game.

*Most espically since no guards are present in either graveyard*

::Isador walks through Cordor... And Picks up the hand and frowns as he realises somebody has defiled the dead, as this hand is not fresh. He walks to Benwick only to see that things are in Order once again, and nods to the passing EO patrol. Then he walks his way back to the Kohlingen graveyards... Only to see it is in order there, also. Isador comes to confusion of where such an old hand could have come from... And then... Remembers his speedy delivery days. He walks to the man in the Speedy Delivery service, asks about the Graveyard island, and then proceeds to Moribund and then looks at the graves... And realises he has a long day ahead of himself as the undead come towards him::

//A) Moribund has no guard force stationed on it, I know this because I'm a guard in the city under which jurisdiction it falls.

B) If you can't be bothered to actually show up IG to an area to help represent the patrols a character is supposedly running with his NPC mates from a faction, expect people to get around said patrols, particularly when your main powerbase isn't even on the island. If people actually spent time doing all the patrols they claim to be doing, as often as they claim to be doing them, a lot less random bad crap would happen in non-city areas. Even in city areas. Lots of crimes happen in city areas even with massive numbers of NPC guards present because said guards can't actually do anything so people think they can get away with it. All it takes is a few PC guards/characters standing around and it acts as a great deterrent.

C)If you have an OOC issue with something I post, PM me about it, do not clutter up a IC thread I started with your OOC opinion kthnks

// Timezones, man, timezones. You can not expect people to be on at the same time as you are. The rest of the thread I have nothing to comment about and I make no claims about what should or should not be done in these patrolled areas in other timezones.

// I have actually encountered Nathano a few times on my patrols in Benwick. His disquises were awesome.

//We have the same timezone problems as Cordor guards, almost all our guards with I believe one exception are located in North America, and as a result all sorts of crimes happen while we aren't on all the time, and we just have to accept that. The character in question would not be hard to catch, even if you never see him in the act, because he isn't exactly subtle about what he is doing, I've even gone out of my way to provide evidence for what he is up to IG, in addition to some of the stuff in the original post in her. Any further OOC comments can be sent to me in PMs though at this point please.

//let's get something clear. One knight actually walked past the Graveyard while me and another guy were inside, doing stuff. There is no chance that he haven't seen us, since we have seen him. What did he do? He ported away. So, enough said. Knights had a chance, but they ran away. There is even a post about it on a previous thread. Now please can someone prune this topic of OOC, so that we can continue playing what we started? Thanks.

PS we were not disguised at all.

// I think what's being said here is that, if you aren't going to schedule things to the point where all players can be present, then don't bother doing them and say the patrols are useless. The EO actually has it in order to patrol Benwick, Nes'ek, Ank'rehmun desert, Parts of Djedet. Issue is, we can't be on 24/7 just to catch you. On the other hand, our characters don't log out ICly.

Refer to my previous post.

//So basically I should put my RP on hold, which my character does more or less all the time, so that I can hook up with you so you can possibly catch me IG, or I could do what my character does and leave plenty of clues both IG and outside it as to who is doing it and why, and give you a chance to have possibly entertaining investigative RP rather than a case of "You there stop" "HAHA I flee through a portal and you never find me"

And again, everyone, and I mean everyone, stop OOC posting in here. Anymore comments can be sent to PMs.

//and could a moderator or someone please remove all the OOC from this thread it would be appreciated.

*Leon, on his walks around the city would, of course, dispose of the body parts should he find one. He doesn't go out of his way to look for them either, assuming it's just some random act of cruelty.*

// I think this is all legit if it happened in game, be nice to see some screen shots once in a while perhaps raising the dead or something though.

Just because you see a knight doesn't mean he sees you, simply his veiw/camera may be pointed elsewhere, saying that thats avoided if passed by closely.

*Azeriel when hearing of the events wanders to the benwick graveyard, by then most of the damage is cleared away...*

"One of these days..."

*Azeriel then continues his patrol*

//this wasn't dead raising with magic, this was literally digging up graves, and I can't get screenies to work right now.

I'm also tired of all the OOC commentary after REPEATEDLY asking that it be stopped so could a DM please lock this and eliminate all the OOC chatter?
