what about those that get locked up and continue to knock on the door.

My scroll bar was tiny and only a few words were said by people. this guy kept knocking on the doors.

one of my charrys got attacked in a town she was passing through, and thrown into a locked building. I then proceeded, (as would be appropriate for my charry, she was a bitch.....) to use every scrap of resources they had laying in that locked building to make a bunch of useless jumk that required other tools they didnt have to finish... including a room titled "thats what you get when you dont play nice with others" or some such nonsense....

Was it a CRB to make a tonn of unfinishable projects? hell no, if you were trapped in a locked building by a bunch of sabre wielding idiots, you would destroy as much of their stuff as possible too. because hell, they will kill you eventually anyway. may as well screw them over for destroying your life too.

They said they reported me. I assume that nothing came of the report since I can still play. Not to say that everyone should do this. because the room thing was a bit rude. BUT, i didnt break the CR so its all ok.

I think note bombing, starting unfinishable projects and similar things should be seen as serious rule breaks.

Note bombing is totally unrealistic. Think from the character suspective. "Yeah, I will carry a hell of a lot of useless notes on me, so when they kill me they will have to clean up the room"
Wohooo...what an evil act.

And starting rooms with offensive names, jam up machines with never ending projects or wasting their resources on tool projects is things that feels like exploiting bugs to me.

It you were supposed to destroy machines or resources there would be a button for this.

Very few people play their characters well when they face death.
Being dragged into a room by armed people and facing a probable death isn't something that makes people vendictive...it makes them scared and instead of pissing them off since they can spawn a new character tomorrow they should try their best to play their characters as thinking people who value their lives.

I could see the "screw it, no one dragged in here has ever gotten out alive. What can I do to reward these nice people?" perspective. Though not for all characters. But I thing 'sabotaging' machines, at least, is officially CR breach. Though there ought to be a legitimate way to do it.

Pirog's post can be considered the offical point-of-view.

Note bombs, artificially jammed up machines, and permanent messages through building projects usually give me a lot of work, and I don't like that.

Don't.

Yes, I hate it when people do that because it ends up resorting to where people ask thomas to cancel the projects and that just makes more work for Thomas and less upgrading Cantr. :evil: Shame people, Shame.
