Keshan is huge, even for an ogre.  Broad muscle packed shoulders branch

out from a thick neck, leading to equally well-muscled arms.  A broad chest

and trunk like legs continue the same pattern.  His head continues out of

his neck at the very same width.  His jaw is square, the nose flat and

triangular, the nostrils two vertical slits on its side.  His lower eyeteeth

are much larger than a human's, sticking out over his lower lip.  He seems

to be quite young, his first fluffy beard braided, two braids just below his

canines, another two at the side of his jaw.  Sideburns looking just as

fluffy continue upwards to meet his dirty blonde hair, which is of a much

coarser quality.  Up front, his hair is cropped close to his skin, standing

up in short wild spikes.  On the sides and back of his head, the hair is

much longer, however being braided in the same style as his beard, the hair

hugs his skull and offers no handholds to any potential attacker.  His skin

is of a dull, greyish- brown color, with just a tint of green to it.  There

is no whites to his eyes, the slightly oval pupils surrounded by a

seaweed-green, almost glowing retina that fills his eyes completely.  His

alien eyes give an odd intensity to his gaze, his slightly brutish features

at odds with the intelligence lying within.  Pointed slender ears stand out

from his head to both sides, like a pair of spikes.  

His armor seems to be slightly too large, though the chances he might still

grow into it seem to be quite high.  Thick, layered pauldrons emphasize his

broad shoulders, consisting of four hammered out flat steel half-rings,

overlapping one another.  The uppermost ring is engraved artfully with an

alien, swirly pattern.  The breastplate ends in a collar of the same style,

the breastplate itself also engraved on its outer rims.  Vambraces, gloves

and greaves complete the set.  He wears a dark blue tunic over the

breastplate, a dark blue cloak, unadorned but warm looking, is fastened to

somewhere under the huge pauldrons.  

He carries a huge helmet, the part where there usually would be a visor

standing out at a slight angle, but obviously unmovable. Worn, all that

remains visible of his face will be the piercing green eyes, the rest

hidden behind the wall of steel.

Keshan currently holds the title of Master Questor of Aabahran.

Keshan is in awful condition.

Man to think he if had bashed instead of fled.  Or if you had missed that bash he was getting combat before you.  Go buy a lottery ticket.

 

Hell he could have threw in a dirt kick AND KILLED YOU!

This was a close one, should have bashed instead of untangling that whip.

Still no fan of your tactic to actively aid nexians take my standard and keep me from retrieving, you've done that twice now. And no, I definitely do not wish you to do the same to them while I am fighting them.

I am not trying to start a discussion or argument here but I wanted to lay down a few things as the Nexian in question:

Khumpf called his intentions to me WELL beforehand.

Khumpf never attacked Keshan's Armored Knight. (That I witnessed anyway)

I did not initiate combat at all with Keshan while Khumpf was fighting Keshan. 

Keshan had a bounty. I used the time he was busy to take a standard.

I only initiated on Keshan at my altar to defend it. 

I did not chase with initiations at any point during Khumpf's battle until it was well and long past concluded. 

If I am bountied and a Knight is on, I do not expect a Syndicate to break RP and leave me alone just because it would feel unfair.

I am happy to get beat up pretty good completely on my own, but just because there are more than one player on with the ability to PK doesn't mean the world should stop. I've been in PLENTY of disadvantaged situations, and I'd say you faired perfectly fine in this one. Cheers and well done anyway.

@Nebu: I have no problem with this if there are 2 Nexians. What I have a problem with is a neutral syndicate who attacks me at the Nexian altar when I try to retrieve and protects Nexians while they are taking my standard (repeateldy, not just you). Being caballed means I have to defend and I have to retrieve after all. So this basically forces me to get tagged. It's also not as if I need the same weapons / armor to fight a shaman and a warrior, or as if my cabal skills were worth nothing when fighting a warrior as Khumpf said.

Please bring that kind of stuff to prayer forum, wrong section here.

Ahh Syndicate, a place where the rulers of the crime world are all neutral at heart :) 

I always found it funny how bounties (basically gold that's found everywhere) takes presidence over cabal warfare, good vs evil gets put on hold so a neural can waltz in to kill the goody while the evil greases his palms, lol :)

Ewwww

I personally don't see this as an RP problem, but more as an "asshole" behaviour. IMMs have the tools to promote/discourage different types of behaviour, hopefully they will use them accordingly in siatuations like this one.

Typically I myself wouldn't bother. If the Knight wins, then I'd go for them or vice versa if they have bounties. Otherwise it only goes to serve to ensure that people stop playing those characters indefinitely or at least deters them from wanting to play them because they know that if they're strong that their enemies are always going to bounty them and that person who bounties them only goes does so typically because they know they can't beat them. It's drastically different when the person logs on first with no enemies and a bounty, since most people would even stop Cabal warfare in the sense of knowing the other person is in battle of another. Continually going after a person for a bounty seems fickle, especially if/when those bounties are really petty. You typically spend a lot more gold and effort than most bounties are worth most of the time unless you're already walking over everyone in the pbase, so it definitely seems more like an 'asshole' behavior.

I'm still all for changing the bounty system for that very reason. 50k gold means no one gets anything because the person is cheap as hell and deserves a bounty of at least 100k on themselves after it. At 100k it means the Hunter gets 1 item and the bountier gets nothing still. It's not until the 400k mark that the person who bounties them that the individual who bountied them gets 1 item up to a max of 3 at 600k. And I'm sure people would still bitch about this change despite the fact that it does nothing to help the person who bounties and since the gold was put up for so little they feel they deserve to get something from it too. In under 15 minutes I've managed to get 200k on classes that aren't even a Merchant or at pinnacle. Bounties are hardly worth it anymore, especially for as small of a pbase as we have. That was a very close fight in the end though, and a decent read because of it.

This whole scenario would become FAR more interesting if Nexus and Syndicate weren't locked in an alliance for 20 years...

I tried, a long time ago. I more or less forced an Alliance between Syndicate and Tribunal. It took a shit ton of RP and a lot of waiting. Trying the dirty cop routine, and in the end I got Vindis to work with Oppressant on the Alliance. Got Syndicate to 'agree' not to collect bounties in town in exchange Tribunal would bounty all criminals so that committing a crime means you would not be safe anywhere in the world. It was a pretty good run, but as I saw it, almost immediately after Oppressant was done the Alliance was completely undone and it went back to the Nexus Syndi alliance.

They should do away with the alliance system altogether. Why should Syndicate align themselves with any singular group only? They're chaotic typically, each individual character should have their own alliances and the Cabal itself allows you to coup others which is even more cut throat than most others. Having a system that allows for them to align with groups and make an enemy of another entire group to me always felt forced. Should it take RP points to force it though? No. I've always felt like you're the hired hit man, and you should align yourself to those around you and affect you directly. Not some no name who contracts you to do it. It would be far more interesting to see them revamped into singular entities with everything they have now with the exception of alliances and wars.

It didn't take that much work, I was the only Syndicate and pushed for it just as hard.  But we had it in the end!

You know, i did that too.  Twice. on Sepahoona and then Rathanous.  I managed to get Savant allied with the Syndicate.  Lasted a couple of months, weeks on Sepahoona since i dropped him shortly after. 

The moment i left though they reverted back to syndicate and nexus.  Like within a week.  It is so very stupid.  Even when nexus is totally dead and empty And it HAS been that way forever. 

Now if no one else tried ok, but hell i changed it then wham, back like a rubberband.  

I also notice everyone saying if they both had bounties this or that.  But thats BS in this case.  The nexus buyout their bounties.  

Personally I do not think the Syndicate should be allied with anyone.  They should be equally philanthropic with all cabals, offering services for a price.   And selling information.  The elders can refuse bounties for any number of rp reasons.  Its great rp actually, i did it quite a bit when trying to create "agents" of sorts with other players.  To that note they should not be vendetta or raid capable either.   They are spies and assasins, merchants and con-men.   Not conquerers, and not the rifts personal bitches.

Syndicate should NOT have allies especially if they are full of neutrals killing for gold, they should be wide open to buyouts FROM EVERYONE at the same price because their heart just isn't into it. Evil syndicates should be able to pick and choose, neutrals however money hungry they are should be able to accept a compensation offer and F off for the afternoon :)

Syndicate should be able to have allies, otherwise there would be very little to do RP wise.  But I do agree with every other point, more diverse relations, open bounty buyouts.

Having allies restricts their RP far more than it does helping it. How? Simple. You're contracted to take a hit out on someone plain and simple regardless. The flip side of it though is that you know with almost 100% certainty that the bounties are being placed by your allied forces which only serves to make enemies out of them as well. It forces them into a war that otherwise could be avoided if they had no alliances. Someone contracts you for a job to kill someone, thus you kill them and there's no priority to who comes first. That means no buyouts since only an ally can buyout their bounties, and the amount is usually not much considering the bounties being placed are almost always for a very insignificant amount. Remove their alliances though, and their RP becomes more flexible, it means they can try to extort from people who have bounties rather than just going for them because "they're supposed to" due to allies bountying. That also opens up the possibility that you can test their mettle for newer members too. Sure the newer members could try and extort it, but if someone were to decide they'll fight because they think they're stronger and end up losing opens up the avenue of that individual not trying it again in the future.

Alliances are always very stifling for RP, especially when it comes to Cabals that allow different ethos/alignment into it. A Purity Warmaster for instance who hates all Savants and is almost always going to have issues when it comes to fighting a Good aligned Savant all because of politics. Sure you shouldn't, but by not doing so you're going against WM code in a way, and by actually following through with it, you are risking Outcast and alignment change. Syndicate can have allies in a different capacity, but different in the sense that it depends greatly upon the character themselves and not just some hard coded alliance that doesn't make sense to begin with. They're lone wolfs typically, they're not about being all buddy buddy with one another, so why should they ever want to do so with other Cabals?

When I played Kotrag, Syndicate was initially allied with Savant.

They were innactive, weak and never placed bounties (not even to active Warmasters). Basically, we got nothing in return for having them as allies. It took a surprisingly huge amount of work to get rid of this alliance (because our own leader was innactive) and establish a new much more profitable alliance with Nexus, from which Syndicate profitted with far more than just bounties.

Everyone complains about the Nexus-Syndicate relationship, but noone wants to do anything in order to change it and keep it changed. I've personally seen this pact broken so many times, especially when there are strong characters on both sides.

Maintaining an allaince with syndicate is not an easy thing and the moment the ally starts to take it for granted is the moment they lose it.

Considering how easy it is to place bounties, not placing them while being an ally is straight insult.

You are so very wrong, you have no idea. I've collected bounties of ten millions of gold.

Also, back when I played Tkanzhar (nexus DKN), I used to bounty Chesta's invoker (also nexus). It had to be a really huge amount, because the character was strong and to not be able to buy it out, and even if he decides to buy it out, he had to spend CPs which he would otherwise use to coup me. Was a very interesting scenario in which I used my allies against my cabal mates.

That's a very narrow minded thing to say.

It was elaborated on later in the post, that was just the beginning of where I was taking the point from. It's not narrow minded thinking, it's just a fact that you're the hit man. Why does it matter if it comes to who puts the bounty on someone or not? It doesn't. By making it so that an ally who bounties someone creates a different color flag that is supposed to get priority, it just tells me that you're being thought of as a slave by that individual who knows that it is supposed to be a priority because of it. Removing alliances means you're free to pick and choose far more than you can now. Sure you can refuse bounties, but the ability to do so isn't allowed until you're at least an Elder.

As far as getting millions from bounties, that's great. Every single time I have played and was in Syndicate though even the #1 spot was at most 400k, and they were usually someone who was already difficult to defeat. Add in the fact that not everyone can be great at PK like you are, those kills are typically a much steeper hill to try and climb for others. The rest of the bounties at that exact same time were always between 50k-100k and if not that, 100cps- 200cps. The best one I saw was 1000cps and 400k for the top person, and that was typically Ivesianna. So I'm not wrong, it depends a great deal on the time in which you play and are in that Cabal in order to see it. For every 1 million+ bounty you saw, I'm sure you saw a ton that were also 50k-100k. If you kill them in under 5 minutes, sure it's probably worth it for you. I can get the same amount of gold though in half that time typically and have around 1 million in my bank without much trying by the time I hit 50 at any given time.
