Pearl Stealing? WTF?
 

I was pearl diving and this guy accused me of "pearl stealing". How the hell can you steal someones pearl? Then I remembered hearing something about pearl stealing around when Alkaren became cheif.

Anyway, WTF is this "Pearl Stealing" and will I need to get some kinda "anti-pearl stealing" campaign or something started? (I hope not, especially now that rock stealing is almost over).

Re: Pearl Stealing? WTF?
 

LOL There ios no such thing as pearl stealing its not like its someones pearls. :p :p

Re: Pearl Stealing? WTF?
 

Lol, there's no pearl stealing because it doesn't cost money, so too bad for that guy.

Rock stealing is illegal since mining costs money, pearl stealing is not illegal tho because pearl diving is free.

Okay, but nobody has explained exactly what it is.

I saw in a old Graal police site the rulers
it says that pears stealing is legal because you need to pay nothing to get them

OMG DV IS ABOUT TO JAIL ME CAUSE HE SAYS I STEAL HIS PEARLS LOL

It's nothing, because it doesn't exist.

But basically when some people say stuff like "U STOLE MY PEARLS@!!!U PEARL STEALER!!!!@@!@!@! IMMA GET YOU JAILEDTAFESFHFD!!!!1111", it's when you go after the pearl they were going for.

Taking pearls from a shell someone is already kicking at is considered pearl stealing.

whats with the earth fire water life mages? something fun?

Wow, way off topic o_O
But read that post in NGR about Mutedfaith.com Mage Quiz...

Oh I see, how would that be possible, you'd think that the person kicking it would be close enough.

Anyway, we were BOTH kicking the same shell.

Some people would do anything for 1g...or to get someone in trouble, whichever.

DV Just got me 6 rocks in bomy jail cause i "stole" his pearl. I gave DV 40g before and now he gets me in jail for 6 rocks. :( :(

Seriously?

Wow, this pearl stealing thing is really stupid.

Its stupid plus 6 rocks in bomy jail are hard to do :(:(

That's abusing power there, he should be fired.

Who do you mean by "DV" ?

googi youre a jerk, you stole someone elses pearl when they spent so long kicking it. youre no better than a rocxk stealer

Dark Villen

Actually, I get cops to jail me in there sometimes for a few rocks, bomy jail is fun when there is nothing else to do :p

I was kicking it longer then he was kthxbye.

If this was true that means DV was the pearl stealer in this case and he abused his power to jail you after he couldn't get the pearl

DV didn't jail me, DV jailed Scream, with me just some guy said I was "pearl stealing" and I didn't get jailed.

Oh yeah, and he couldn't have been pearl stealing since I got the pearl.

Didn't hear that right. In any case however, he jailed somebody for pearl stealing, which is not illegal, which means he abused his power, which means he is corrupt and should be fired.

But i am not sure this is what happens. I was diving for pearls while DV was. So i am trying to get as many as i can. Than he says gimmi pearls back i am like no. Than i think he told Rabid to jail me and Rabid jailed me with no question asked because DV is staff. He gave me 6 rocks in bomy jail which are hard to do :( :(

stop making stupid threads googi!! WTF!!!

lol, I bet the cops will start coming up to players and say "give me all your hats", then jail the players if they dun have any hats or refuse to give them

Uhm-- This is all very stupid considering you don't even need to kick the shells for them to open, they open by themselfs, and kicking them doesn't get you pearls any faster (from personal experience). It's all just timing and paitence, who ever gets to the pearl first gets it, you can't steal them because noone owns them, if theres someone else? oh well, why not come back another time?

Urizen :rolleyes:

Not true...

NPC Code:

---

if (created) {

  drawunderplayer;

  setstring this.pearlsprite,;

  showcharacter;

  setcharani seashell_closed,;



  this.popen = this.pdefopen;

  timeout = random(this.delay*0.8,this.delay*1.2);

}

if (timeout) {

  if (random(0,1)<this.popen) {

    this.pearl = (random(0,1)<this.ppearl);

    if (this.pearl==true)

      setstring this.pearlsprite,1;

    else

      setstring this.pearlsprite,;



    setcharani seashell_open,#s(this.pearlsprite);

    sleep 0.1;

    this.isopen = true;

    sleep 0.9;

    setcharani seashell_idle,#s(this.pearlsprite);

    sleep random(3,6);

    setcharani seashell_close,#s(this.pearlsprite);

    sleep 0.2;

    this.isopen = false;

    sleep 0.8;

    setcharani seashell_closed,;

  }

  this.popen = this.pdefopen;



  timeout = random(this.delay*0.8,this.delay*1.2);

}

if (actiondivekick && strequals(#s(client.race),bomy)) {

  this.popen += 0.025;

}

if (playertouchsme && strequals(#s(client.race),bomy) && this.isopen==true && this.pearl==true) {

  this.pearl = false;

  setstring this.pearlsprite,;

  setcharani #m(-1),;



  pearls = strtofloat(#s(pearls))+1;

  setstring pearls,#v(pearls);

  setstring client.pearls,#s(pearls);

  setstring server.gavepearls,#v(strtofloat(#s(server.gavepear  ls))+1);

  setani bomy_gotpearl,;

  say2

Wow this is one of the#b

valueable white pearls!#b

You have now #s(pearls) pearls.;

}

Owned.

I don't think you should be showing all of the code just the part that has the details.

...It's kinda important for the argument that the guy knows exactly what the this.popen string means.

Pearl Stealing is illegal. When you kick open a pearl, it is YOUR pearl and if someone else takes it, it's stealing. That is what Alex said. Shells that open by themselves are open for everyone.

Yes, but what if we are BOTH kicking the pearl shell?

That is pure, 100% bullshit.


Rock stealing is illegal since mining costs money.

Pie stealing is illegal since farming costs money.

Pearl stealing is not illegal since pearl diving is free.

Ok, I was wrong, but I still think the outcome has very little difference-- as for "ownership" if perl stealing were illeagle than they should have added to the script making whoever kicks it first the owner, unless they stop kicking for 10-20 seconds or something like bread. :p

Not a string, Googi.

Who cares?

I don't care.

Do you care?

I'm sure many don't care.

SO WHO CARES?

Watcha ganna do now AlexH?

:p
