Do you know the stats on the hat which is in question?
Conflict with RP? There's Samurai's running around, and I can't be a cowboy?

Shogun ruled Japan: 1192AC-1892AC (approximately) (with reference to the kingdom "Samurai")
Cowboys ~1500AC (Cowboys can be traced back to 2000BC, but it would be more suitable to consider them shepards... but I'm getting my info from Google)

I don't see what the problem is?

Children? I'm nearly 20... and I'm a GP and GAT, not an administrator.

Stefan is barely involved with GK beyond scripting and debugging the new mudlib, Bjorn is basically running it, and he's doing a decent job.

This reminds me of what Tyhm did, one time; I had (re)created the "small" shield, and wanted it uploaded to GK. Tyhm ofcourse started saying that it's staff like me that ruin the game with all of our overpowered items, only concerned about ourselfs... until I told him the stats: AC+1... no armour, nothing else. I just wanted archers to have a shield they could wear, I suspect that doesn't ruin the RP, does it? )':

Just to clearify the Cowboy Hat is AC+1, and Speed+2... no armour, once again... and the players who gained it had to do a series of horse races in a
very announced horse race, which Ed hosted.

Now, I'm going to assume that, since you called me a child who ruins RP (I guess that you assumed the item had amazing stats, and that I have lots of amazing gear to match it) you think I'm only concerned about items... I only have a single "Samurai shield"+2, dual Rings of Combat, and a flaming sword of Ogma+6, aswell as my recently acquired cowboy hat... I guess you can just toss the assumption aside.

Also, I've RPed for several years on GK... I was the Strategus in Zormite under Wren Archigos, and restructured the military in a more suiting RP fashion. I've RPed the same character, Fitzwilliam Vimes, for probably more than two years.

I doubt it, but you may recognize the name Vimes, it's a small RP family Ruathma Vimes (Monkyboy_Mcgee) started, and I carried on after he left.


Perhaps this will clearify some stuff people didn't know before.
