In reality these people not only want to do the wrong thing, they want to not be accused and blamed as well instead being portrayed as honorable individuals.

Did any of you play D&D?

Finally claiming that "A mention of X guild was unnecessary you could have reported it to an officer." Is a PR move that is utilized by businesses since forever. It's also censorship and mud slinging to claim that the person should have reported it to "your" authorities instead of letting the public know.

It's very easy to know what type of person someone is by examining their actions. Everything else is an illusion.

I think this is the first thread I have actually really read on the forums. It gets at least 4 stars.

I can't believe the above quote was ignored though. This is the gem of the entire thread. VD's actions got called lawful evil, an alignment from a tabletop roleplaying game!

Today I gave some money to a homeless guy on the street, I think that is a neutral good act, could someone verify? If I add this to the times I have "stolen" camps from dead people, does this make me chaotic neutral?

Incidentally, I die an unusual amount of times at dhampyre to my own recklessness, and I have never blamed anyone for snatching the camp from me. I just politely ask if I can get in line behind them.

I've had this happen to me at dino when my partner was -there- and looting his corpse. Guy swooped in and took the camp. We thought we were in the right, and defended it and he eventually left. This made Hobby pretty mad when he showed up. Very few people are going to cut you a break on things like that, and the rules definitely maintain that the camp is not yours unless you are there and not afk when the mob spawns. (dino is a bit different since it falls under outdoor pathing mobs.)

It's not a right or wrong act, it's just how the game is played. If you want to take that extra step and allow someone to retake the camp, more power to you, but don't expect that to be the norm.
