Today I killed some random dude and tried to loot him. I couldn't. Confused, I contacted JohnCarver, assuming it was some sort of glitch. The fact that the victim's name was "test un" didn't help either.
Regardless, JC shows up, loots him without trouble and does a short troubleshooting. I realize that I am stupidly dumb (that's not an oxymoron) after he asked some questions - I tried to loot a guy without larceny. I've wasted JC's time and made myself a fool in front of him. Do I deserve a dunce hat?
