I thought of...Jackass 2. Poor Bam...

I like the idea myself.


I'm SO going to see that movie this weekend. laugh.gif I've heard it's hilarious and even more insane than the first one.

I definitely thought of hot-iron on the skin branding, but I'm not sure I like the idea.

Yeah... I'm not sure either. It has potential, but I know being branded 'divorcee' is bad enough, I'm not sure we should permanently scar someone for changing their nation. The lesson cost and so on is a bad enough penalty already.

If you want to give those sort of honours to people who actually commit serious betrayals, like that time someone stole all the commodities from Magnagora, or whatever, that seems fair. But those instances are so rare that the admin could be petitioned directly for it.

When people "betray," no one forgets. Don't really see a need for this.

I'm all for something that punishes guildhoppers dry.gif

Actually, I'm all for something that shows a clear mark of your character's history. It would be cool if, when someone GR3+ or CR3+ left an org or guild, the org/guild had one IC month to brand them a friend or foe. Either could be undone at any time by the guildleader/cityleader, but after that month, neither could be done no matter what.

The branding would cost some gold, about 5,000 or so. There would only be a single honours line for each, approved by the admins. "He is an Oathbreaker to the Serenguard" "He is a Heretic to Celest" "He is blessed by the Celestines" "He is a Traitor to Magnagora" "He is considered a faefriend by the Moondancers" "He is a treasonous cur to the Ur'Guard" etc.

Well, assuming it was automatic. If not, I'd be safe!

It would be lame if it was automatic.

This would have to be deliberate.

automatic would be really lame.

Anyways some less serious Mag examples :

CODE
He has been branded a Latrine Dweller by the Geomancers.
The Ur'Guard have branded him a Pansy.
He has been repeatedly and gruesomely branded by the Nihlists.

blink.gif The entire point is that it isn't automatic. Read my suggestion, which includes branding people friends as well as foes when they leave, and is removable at any time by the guildmaster tongue.gif
