I'd just like to add that in society there are thieves. There is no society that doesn't have criminals. To program it so that being a criminal would be next to impossible to role play would make it unrealistic not to mention dull.

Amen, this idea needs thinking about... it could mean implementing a whole host of new and fun tools aswell.. like purse cutting knifes or actual lockpicks, that leave the lock intact..

Do you really believe Cantr has no thieves and criminals?

Being a thief in RL isn't easy. Same as in Cantr. And most thieves, both in RL and Cantr, are petty thieves. They don't steal large amounts of valuable things.

It is possible to be a highly successful thief. Just be imaginative...

This does not need programming. That to me, well... it seems like people want to take the thief (or rogue as it is now known...) class in D&D... be imaginative, creative and determined... and you'll have your thief.

As for being caught and killed... how is that different from RL in the corresponding period? Just because we don't have capital punishment now... :roll:

Eh, I still think pickpocketing would be kind of cool. Thievery as it is right now is really hard, but what most people don't want to do is take the time to do it right.

Even if pickpocketing is implemented, the ability to Spy should not be. Spying is a thing that can already be done, and probably has been done, with the in-game means we have now.

Really hard? And pickpocketing isn't? Have you ever actually tried picking someones pocket? Especially as Cantrians don't have pockets...

You can be a petty thief. It is surprisingly easy to steal things in many areas, if aren't obvious about it. Thievery is different in Cantr to RL, but then so is the combat system.

Actually, I think there may be room for some change to aid spying. Currently whispered conversations are totally private and cannot be heard under any circumstances... actually, the more I type the more I agree. Just spy in game, it is possible. Spying, like thievery, does not need further implementation.

In my experience, most petty thieves aren't pickpockets. Be imaginative and find ways to be a criminal. It ain't as hard as you think...

idiot. (in my mind, an idot is somone who can't see somthig obvious.)

pick poketing CANT BE DONE! it is really hard, BUT, it sould be hard in cantr, unles you train, and practes.shure you can be a pety theif, but your not going to be able to get away with it.

and, shure you can't here anything people say in wisper, but thats the reson why spying needs help.

Theres more contradictions in that quote than there are...

... well, theres alot of contradictions...

Sorry. Picking pocets is hard. so what? It still should be impleminted in cantr. and do you know how hard it is to be a theif in cantr? I've tryed. i sucseded, then faild. It is SO hard.

Even if pickpocketing is implemented, the ability to Spy should not be. Spying is a thing that can already be done, and probably has been done, with the in-game means we have now.
