Just plain stupid...

BrianDAPenguin · #1 10-04-2001, 07:41 AM

Police now sit at mines and jail you if you take a rock... I had a mining bomb and promised to bomb the wall if I could have a rock. The guy who "owned it" (if you could own rocks stefan would have made a percantage system)said no. Next, I said "oh well..." and went on mining. The police guy is like "don't steal!" I hit it a few more times and next thing I know he's unsticking to jail me. I logged off so I wouldn't be put in jail on a game that I pay for, and sit and stare blankly at the screen to be let out. While wasting this time that I paid for. So, the guy finishes off the rock, and I'm left with a partially broken gold axe... Is this right? Is this the way a simple game should be, over money with no value at all, what-so-ever?

Yes, but how? I've been gone the last two days updating my system's RAM, and I come back to getting threatened to stare at my screen for an hour because I masshed the "D" button on my keyboard... GIVE MEH A BREAK! IT'S ONLY A GAME PEOPLE!

BrianDAPenguin · #4 10-04-2001, 08:05 AM

I think I'm going to take another break from graal until this insanity stops, shinobi just went back and jailed me, and will not unjail me until I break like 1,000,000,000 rocks, I'll just hope an admin lets me out in the meantime, the games not worth this...

Butz · #5 10-04-2001, 08:06 AM

People have lost sight of the fun....
Greed is all that rules.....
(This is starting to sound like the storyline to an RPG or something like that... )

OK, this is no longer any fun, if your an administrator and your reading this, please state a rule saying rock theft is not illegal because you con't really "own" them. And please also unjail me. My account is BrianDAPenguin, and I really don't think there is a written rule against this.

No, it started with me diciding I was going to sit at my computer and feed my hard-earned moneyto stefan, who allows people like "Shinobi Legend" to jail somebody for mashing thier "D" key, thus, chumping me out of some of the time that I paid for. So, I am posting this hoping to get out of jail, and have this extremely unfair rule changed.

BrianDAPenguin · #10 10-04-2001, 08:15 AM

I mean, what's the point of having jail? It's not like somebody is going to be reformed by staring at thier computer screen for 5 hours "breaking rocks." I mean, COME ON, this is a truly stupid game if it all comes down to this!

Correction · #11 10-04-2001, 08:18 AM

lol then don't play the game!

it is illegal and there is a rule written on the police site i believe

Shayde · #13 10-04-2001, 02:04 PM

Not everyone is greedy, stereotyping=bad.
But I do disagree with those who enforce unwritten laws to ensure they get the most out of graal and lack care of the enjoyment for others. Corrution=bad

A lot of idiots are running throughout Graal, stupid rules, the new hat system and the infinite capitalism on Graal 2001 is ruining it, I rather play on N-Pulse where I first started nowadays...

ROCK FETFT SI BAD AND ILLEGAL ****HEAD YUO = STUPIDO AND ARE A MUPPET

Ramirez_the_Silvite · #19 10-04-2001, 06:40 PM

I think that you SHOULD go to jail..
whoever uses the mining bomb is the one who owns the rocks.
and if he said no, and you still tried to take one of his rocks..
then I think you are just a theif who gets mad when he gets jailed for doing something illegal.

How would you feel if you got jailed for hitting a rock? I didn't even finish off the stupid thing and got jailed, even after I got on 20 minutes later. PLEASE NOTICE nobody ever said that you own the rocks if you bomb the wall. Like I said earlier, there would have been an "Owner: Whoever" script on them if you could. It wasn't even Shinobi's rocks, he was just standing there, and decided to jail me because he thinks its fun. He's like "WARNING" then 2 seconds later he has "JAILING" over his head, and, next comes "unstick me" Really, is this any fair at all? It's just a game. Nobody is going to learn any sort of lesson staring at a computer screen for an hour "trying to get out of jail" I mean, really people, it's NOT REAL

konidias · #21 10-04-2001, 07:30 PM

If it isn't real then how can you play it.. and if the game doesn't matter then why do you care if you're in jail... EVERYTHING NEEDS RULES.

Sorry, but I'm not gonna pay 12 bucks to sit and stare at the jail room for 5 minutes. I'm here to HAVE FUN. And to have fun, I have to get MONEY. And to get money, I have to MINE. And to mine, I have to get ROCKS. And to get rocks, I have to get MONEY. And to get basic starting money, I have to bake BREAD. And to bake BREAD, I have to travel all the way over to Harmonia, run back and forth for 14 minutes baking stupid loaves of bread to get 5 measly gralats to get a bomb.

Rules are good, but I don't really think taking one rock for one mineral is going to throw someone into ecinomic ruin.

Isn't sharing a good virtue? Or maybe it isn't here?

I'll step off my soapbox now.

Birdbird_0 · #24 10-04-2001, 10:33 PM

I agree totally but he didnt ask.

And if you dont ask then you dont get, use your noggin rat man.

Black_Falcon · #26 10-04-2001, 11:08 PM

I liked that thing someone said about Police who dont care about money =\ I was fired for inactivity when I was on alooooooott. I was even pmed off my Police account without my tag on and stuff by complete strangers to help them. I basically did nothing but sit on my police tag doing nothing. And when I DID have money I just kinda sat there and maybe bought a hat or held an event or gave it to newbs lol

It is not illegal to "steal" rocks because you don't really own them.
Police is starting to annoy me. They are all corrupt!!

That's what I said! So let me out :'(

Ramirez_the_Silvite · #29 10-05-2001, 03:14 AM

You go mine.
I'll come up and mine the other rocks, and get the minerals.
Now, I am not stealing, as they aren't really yours in the first place! And if I get jailed, I'll just say "What happened to sharing?"

spi · #30 10-05-2001, 04:01 AM

So why did you have me jailed when I took your rock 2 minutes ago?
[edit]
Graal has been over-run with greed. You only want stealing to exist so you can take other people's stuff. Now you know how it feels to have the tables turned. You call me a "***" and have your good buddy Torankusu jail me without a warning. Graal has gone insane...
