new player - pls help defend against criminals

[KruskDaMangled]

We come here for the drama, because it's not enough for things to happen in the game, hearing about/crowing about it on the forums are also necessary.

I mean, what does it matter if nobody KNOWS about it?

Just speaking to the motivation is all.

I've been part of some extensive work in games, and situations that could be as dramatic as this, I just don't talk about it, so much.

Like, a guy in my first village was a huge tool. If it had been easier to kill people out of hand for being antisocial at the time we would have, but it wasn't.

So he hanged out in his "autism fort" claim, acted like a jerk, and then just left/quit playing.

ok I was maybe bit more overacting.

I had chat with that "robber" guy in town.
He says he steals only from inactive claims. I did not know that inactive claim will trigger waste crime if you try to take items from there. I was assuming they are active when I cant enter them.
Thats why I got so lucky maybe and was findign so manny stuff in bases in area.

He turned out to be nice guys and gave me few pythons to start my base. Pythons for free uuu. thank you.

Still I would be scated to leave scents like this.


Thanks

LOL How does one know a claim is not active? Does he leave a sign saying respond in a week or I am going to raid? The statement "I only raid inactive claims" is so hard to justify. I personally only have two instances where I can justify that I raided what was an inactive claim. Having a few dry board piles that have not been collected in a few days is not a good way of justifying that the claim is inactive in my opinion.

hmm their farm not being harvest and also a few wall is damage? but yeah you are right, aside from those you cant really tell, just hope

[Kozzy68]

once you dont pay upkeep and it expires.... is every one free to enter yours claim without crime ? Or it does have to be active ?
He destroys claim stones so I presume you can do that only if upkeep was not payed. I just did not understood why I see vaste !!! at the fence of this claims when they are unpayed. Its probably change since 2013 when you cant enter even expired claims

well even if it is unpaid, entering it would leave trespassing scent, knocking on wall and breaking stone would leave waste scent, but you know it is inactive if the claim is already broken by the criminal

[Reviresco]

Is he still living here?

[Kozzy68]

nope

[jakhollin]

nope

My guess is you being a new player you are referring to this past weeks crime spree that happened in this area.

[Claeyt]

The way you can tell if a Pclaim that you can get to has money in it or not is try and destroy it. If it let's you destroy it then it's empty, if it doesn't let you then it still has money in it.
