[...] story about stealing someone's 1600 rare steaks [...]
Back in the days of house looting, I looted the main guildhouse of some guild, I dont remember who. They were all very, very sad about the loss of their stuff (the tears were convincing). I was about to call in the PKs to clean out all their people after I had cleaned out all their stuff, but for some reason I just didn't have the heart. So I made a deal with their guildmaster. I told them if they could get me a 60k stack of cooked meat, they could have all their stuff back.
It took them about 2 weeks and about 10 ppl, but they came through like champs and I gave them most of their stuff back, minus a few Vanq's that I let them know I took as a small fee, which they agreed was very generous of me.
I think that chain of events might have created 3 or 4 of UO's first GM chefs, so it was for a good cause.
I know this thread should be about current thefts and not about ancient times, and that one should not be over competitive, but seriously... 1600
uncooked meat??
** PFFT!! **
Just sayin', my meat stack is/was the biggest UO has ever seen.
And if you want it right, it's gotta be
done, son.
