I started an item on my site http://omni-tek.tripod.com/index.html about the criminals on Rubi-Ka as a roleplaying idea. Jhoanna suggested we have a 10 ten most wanted criminals on Rubi-Ka.
An great idea I thought as I am working on one. Basically if you now run around trying to kill Omni-Pol, Clan or neutral guards or innocent members of the public you stand a chance of being labelled a criminal and featuring on the 10 ten most wanted list.
However this does bring one problem FC people are seeming allowed to play any role possible without their beening a consequence to your actions. If Omni-Tek is lead to believe to be real in any sense in the game then you must face a reaction from your action.
I have no problem with people RPing the bad guy and shooting up the Omni-Pol officers as they have been. But they must face some consequence for doing this.
We have seen one trial, and also freen being kicked out of Omni-Tek but rather than as a warning we just had even more people starting to kill Omni-Pol guards.
I suggest a number of punishments could be used.
1. Build an open prision some where they cant escape from and depending on the crime determines how long you get sent there. It might by a full hour or maybe in 24 hours.
2. KOS the players are branded as criminals and will be fired upon by any guards be they Omni, Clan or Neutral.
3. KOS by players, if people are really RPing outlaws then treat them as such create a new faction called outlaws and create a new town. These players are only allowed to save at the new town which only sells the basic of equipment. These players to survive will have to do missions to get items, but the missions they get will pay less of course.
They will not be able to use the omni clan channels to trade and people would be able to see they are classed as outlaws and choose if they want to trade with them.
This would open up a whole new set of ideas for missions, people being sent in to clear out outlaw town for example.
I do understand the amount of work and coding this may take. But if people are going to RP and kill things on site then fair enough but as in the real world they need to be punished. Otherwise its all rather pointless Rping in the first place as death carries no penatlies in AO we need some system.
Oh 10 top most wanted here is my go at it.
