Salem

TotalyMeow wrote:One of the main tenants of this game is that EVERYTHING should be stealable. If you can't steal from a stall, then there has to be some other way to stop safe storage. Even the almost-safe bank silver has an option of allowing a raider to scare it out of you with a ransom demand.

I found this post from Meow while searching the forums for info on player-stalls.

Holy Crap, this game is awesome !
Can someone share how to use or navigate to this option, plz...
WTF, do I just park next to the bank and wait for opportunities to extort folks ? lol

It's gonna cost ya 1 cloak and dagger to find out

I can spare some cloak n dagger points, so what do you mean ?
...If your reply was a hint, it went way over my head.
...If it was a troll post, why am I not surprised ?

...I want to extort too !
Someone help me, or I will resort to bribing Marp with long-lost Gorniksam pics to get him to increase stall tax %.

It isn't a troll thread Dalene, it's a serious question.
If you request, I will link the post that I quoted from Meow in this thread's OP.

Is banking-extortion not a feature in Salem anymore ?
...I want to extort someone in Salem !

With the skill Yellow Belly, when you are KO'd by another player they have the option to ransom you home. They receive a % of the money in your bank. The extortion only happens if you manage to KO someone, they have the skill yellow belly, and have money in the bank

Well that explains it. I never once used the ransom skill, not even for test purposes on my own characters. Had always thought that it was a ransom to take money off the character itself without having to commit crimes of theft/murder.

Does the victim have a choice to accept the ransom demand or does the attacker have free reign in whether or not the money is taken from the bank?

Victim gets to choose. Should also be noted that a person on a hostile claim cannot be ransomed home by anyone other than the claim owner/ maybe someone with permissions

I honestly thought you were subtly trolling. Without context the post from meow it read to me like it's something they want to be in the future. If it is a thread about yellow belly then that is a skill as someone said above.
