Are we still allowed to kill the Vendors who don't live in a town?

ie. the one in Li Norela, and the one in the mini Dark Dwarf town.

That seems to be going against the spirit of the commandment:

II Thou shalt not kill shopkeepers or Elvin.

Sounds like killing any shopkeepers wherever they are located is bad behaviour and may (should) be dealt with harshly. The simple fact is killing a shopkeep is not worth that much exp for anybody. The only thing anybody can possibly get out of doing it is cause other players grief.

*sigh* You are right. It doesn't have to be about xp or causing other players grief... you can "justify" anything by rp. So by this argument, Elvin should be fair game "I wanted to sell this rusty sword to him and he wouldn't buy it from me with all that money he makes from selling potions." But, clearly, the DM's have said that shopkeeps are offlimits so the rp justification is moot.

Continuing to attempt to subvert the Devs' wishes is not something you want to do, Throst. *points at the dev tag under LadyC's name*

Where?

the initial post/theme of this thread. its either:

a. testing the limits of the patience of the dms
b. showcasing the ridiculous nature of some of the players actions and intentions here
c. a troll thread

whichever way, its still absurd.

ahhh, ok, I thought you had voiced your opinion on the commandments somewhere else but I could not find it.

i dotn have any problem with any of the commandments, and i think its great to see the DMs putting some rules into action.
