Rob the Bank

[Kaleen]

My suggestion is to have an option after a character reaches a certain level (5 perhaps) where they can try to rob the bank.

Elessa would fight to protect the money by Throwing "bags of gold coins"

If you beat her and are successful you would recieve money only - no gems or experience and she is heard to say "Who was that masked man/woman?"

If you lose - you are unmasked and lose all money on hand and in the bank, and all banking priveleges are removed until after your next dragon kill.

What does everyone think of this?

Another reason to end up in the stocks with. :D

[JCP]

I really don't think this is a good idea.

First off, not being able to use the bank for an entire DK is a bad idea. That is a severe punishment and could make playing the game impossible.

Second, you would lose. Every time. Elessa is not one to trifle with, and the bank is protected by state-of-the-ogre security systems.

Third, we are not savages that have such a blatant disregard for the rules and mores of civilized society. Next, you'll ask for permission to murder people in their sleep. Inconceivable!

;)

:?
Uhh, sorry to burst your bubble JCP, but isn't a fair portion of the game centered around trying to murder people in thier sleep?

...I just talked back to the admin. :oops:

Forgive me oh great clown of powerful administrative priveledges! It was not meant that way! *bows* See? I humble myself before you!


P.S. While I think robbing the bank sounds like a neat idea, it has way too many flaws when considered further, not the least of them being the fact that the bank is so heavily guarded.

[Deimos]

I don't see a problem with letting people foolishly trifle with Elessa, if they're so inclined to be humiliated.

Headless, I couldn't tell if you were kidding or not, but JCP was definitely (gasp!) kidding. The other staff probably tried to sneak PVP under his nose at one time, but being an evil clown, he quickly found out. :D

[Headless]

Was I kidding? Was I not? The world may never know! Only I am privileged to the inner workings of my head, or lack thereof. Hmm Deimos, not a bad idea, but I think that's a tad bit too hard on all the farmies. I wonder how many attempts on average they would make before they realized it was completely impossible?

[JCP]

All kidding aside, I agree with Deimos.

An opportunity to do something, with appropriate costs, risks and rewards, should be possible.

[onedarkdemon1]

yeah but lose all your money in the bank how about no bank use for that day in the next no intrest and lastly you end up in the stocks

[Elessa]

:arches her brow as she listens. she makes some preparations for those foolish enough to attempt to steal from her bank.

[YurianStonebow]

Even if you succeed, you'd get a message like this, which will also appear in your bio's recent embarrassments: "I got to steal money from Elessa's Bank, and all I got was this measly gold coin!" And voila, we have a new slogan to put on a T-shirt and sell at the GD-related merchandise online store. :wink:

[SaucyWench]

Maaaaaan, I wouldn't mess with Elessa!

*ducks*

Actually, I like the idea of this. I can't promise I have time to code it though! ;)

[Furion]

Just so you are aware, there is a module coded that lets you steal from the bank for 350 favor. I don't know what the name is, I heard some people from another server talking about it on Central. If you decide to make robbing the bank an option while visiting the Shades, it may be easier to just edit that existing module. It's possible that the person who coded it did not submit it to Dragonprime, but chances are they did.

[Talisman]

There was a rob the bank module for .97, but I don't recall if it was recoded for 1.x.x. The .97 implementation was rather unbalanced, and definitely led to a lot of frustrated players.

[Furion]

Frustrated players? Oh, I never thought of it that way. I would say that if there was a rob the bank module, that no one should actually lose gold, the robber would just gain gold. I would *not* support any module that actively robbed from players.

And why should it rob from players? Elessa (in all her awesome fomidability) certainly has enough extra gold from that certain game secret event where one loses all gold in the bank that it wouldn't be necessary to steal from the actual players, who are working very hard to max out their equipment.
