If You Get Killed in SL, you should lose $L

Seriously, there is no penalty to dying in game anymore

sure you get teleported home, but with P2P, you can go right back. No loss of XP, no loss of items.

This isn't a fun game under the current game mechanics

If I say, got on top of a belltower or book depository, and was blasting people passing by, I should be able to get a reward (thier Linden$) and they should suffer a penalty that equals what I obtain from the kill in terms of cash

to be fair, you should not be able to camp someone for profit. If you kil them once in a 24 hour period, you get say $L20. If you kill them again, you only get $L10. 3rd time only $L5 and last time only $L2. Any other kills would not pay any Lindens whatsoever. This would discourage players from repeatedly being targeted because of their wealth

if you go into negative Linden balance due to death (You get killed and only have $L12 Lindens but owe your killer L$20 for instance), you become the property of your killer, who can sell you into the forced labor camps some land barons have off the mainland

some killers may take bribes outright, Ill take $L30 not to kill you 4 times and send you to the AC/DC (A***** Chu** /Death Camp)

The quests in this game really aren't all that challenging eaither. Making Siggy say Fuck was the easiest quest I ever been on. Getting Prok to blog about me wasn't as hard as the Quest log indicated. Getting Nolan and Coco in an arguement wasn't as tricky as you might have thought. The hardest quest I had so far was collecting 1 Formal Forum Warning. Even the super elite "providing a topic for Philips blog" wasn't much of a challenge to an old school gamer like me.

Seriously, we need to make this game more challenging. The new generation of SL users don't want sex balls or camp chairs, no they want a challenge

make them earn their damn stipends, or die trying

only a radical new look at how you play SL will accomplish this goal

Let's make a Marxist game out of this! Like in the U.S. the death tax would only kick if you have more than L$ 1 million in your account at the time.

I had a nice big response posted untill I realized it was satire

*claps*

I want any other kills beyond the 4th in a 24 hour period to require the assassin to pay the victim with increasing amounts thereafter.

I agree. There should be a death pile and you have 5 minutes to retrieve it or else!

this may neccesatate the need for a bank space

dropping your entire inventory is not fair

but if you could only carry 50 items, it sure would raise the stakes at that furry gorean orgy club

Mulch, I personally own more than 150 skins. This does not even take into account my clothing, hair or SHOE items. So, either STFU or be prepared for me to make you hold my inventory for me as part of our marriage agreement

I will not hold your purse!!!!

Purse is such a feminine term honey. Let's call it a "traveler's backpack" okay? LOL!

Option #2: BODYGUARDS!! (also my solution for Vasudha's request for paying job ideas in SL. Let us shoot to kill and take money from our victims, then we can hire others to be our bodyguards and hold our "traveler's backpacks", thus creating a whole new economy based on extortion and player killing )

you're so smart

that is why I love you

(and the WoW reference helped too )

ResMods, can you change the name of this thread to:
Second Life: Vice City!

I guess this is the "WoW servers are down, so I will try to make SL into an interesting GAME" thread.


1.10 is worth it, it will be ok Mulch, the servers will come back up...

was in AV for 30 minutes and then so the dreaded yellow message:

Server Shutdown in 15

My server is still down and I got to go to a gig tonight in a couple hours. I am jonesing (we were thrown out of AV when the server booted this morn)

Add that today I hit Centurian and just bought my battle standard and

bleh

at least I know the cooldown of it

but, since I was in AV when the server shut, I will be a deserter for 15 mins when i relog

/venting

Also worth noting, Playing the game of the SL forums will always be more fun than playing the game of Second Life

Cool hon, gratz on Centurion, you Troll Stud! Sorry about the shutdown/deserter situation.

What do you have against WoW? I thought I saw you in AV last weekend?

Also, where are the ResMods??!?!!?!?

Mulch, your idea is stupid. Pay money to get ganked? Ridiculous!

*BUT*

It does also contian a seed of brilliance. Some established players like to kill other players, and if we add an "honour" system there would be even ore interest. You could get rewards, like at General you can make the breast slider go to 110%.

Then, there are newbies. Newbies are always coming in wanting welfare. So what we need to do is have the killer ay a small amount of lindens to the vistim for each kill, and have Linden Labs take a cut.

It's employment! It ends Welfare! It adds a goal! It includes a money sink! It doesn't have anything to do with Ageplay!

I think it will just lead to more intense griefing. I mean what an incentive, not only do you get to annoy someone by stalking them and killing them, but you also get to cost them money!

Scary.

I guess this will make Sl a more hostile place to live in. Not to mention the introduction of virtual crime, Anyone in the streets can come "n loot la".

But that too may see an increase in demand for personal arms & defence

Seriusly... I don't see SL as a game. infact i refuse to go into a damage parcel or sim. i had a bad experiance a year ago and had a expensive avatar ripped to shreads and i didnt like it. i also made the guy buy me a replacement av. He complied but still...

I want to be able to loot my victims.

This is pretty much a feature suggestion, and Mulch you may not have my home number to yell at me about moving it, use ARs like everybody and their dog.

Admit it - you really want to be able to eat them. This is all just sublimation. You want LL to implement avatar organs that you can eat to gain their power, or perhaps store in the fridge for later.

I don't like that you just want to go and kill someone and thought there are many issues about the combat area

1) its a sandbox with health turned on
2) many people have sheilds that never give you a chance what so ever
3) there is too many people that try to say "they are the king" I hear this often
4) too many god weapons
5) people have used stuff on my to force my cam away it was annoying

EDIT: Also I never go to the combat areas anymore because of these reason well.. number one isn't one of them
