Robbery Rules Suggestion

[mikeman003]

There definitely should be some rules for bandits robbing people because there isn't a fair trade off for both sides.  Bandit fails to rob someone, and MAYBE a major faction gives half a shit about them(LOOC: lol, another lolbandit).  Worst case they die and lose one of the 9 million guns they have already stolen from people, and can get another one in a short while.  Bandit succeeds in robbing someone, and they take that person's stuff.  Let's say all it he lost was an AK-73u.  In rookie terms, that is hours of saving up, doing jobs(which only happen once in a blue moon), and scavenging.  If you take everything he has, he will quit, or become a bandit himself and then just rob everyone with poor RP because he is mad.  I would be willing to say that the rookie, in terms of gear, looses a ton more than the bandit, because most of the bandits are people with plenty of money, guns, and ammo, and have a higher source of income(veteran/master/etc. flags). 
Before you start quoting yourself, yes the RP is more important than the fucking guns.  But having no gun does limit the RP you can participate in.  You are stuck just doing passive RP in the town, which a lot of the newer players don't like, so they quit.


Basically, we need to make robbing people more high risk if the bandit fails, so less people will want to rob everything that moves.

You've clearly never tried to rob anyone. It is next to impossible. You WILL get metagamed or powergamed or RP avoided every single time if you are trying to be a good bandit and not preying solely on newbies. Which is why everyone preys on newbies, because the experienced players bitch, whine or metagame their way out of it.

I have a bandit character that has not once robbed a player.

Sadly, people avoid him since he wears a Trench Coat and is listed as a Master Bandit. He has a great story and personality.

People who steal things are pussies anyway.

Fuck money.

Behead them and skewer them on a stick. Mount them on a pole.

That is where victory lies.

STALKER is not Fallout. Frankly people already respond to bandits far more violently than they should without doing that.
