You don't have to steal every single one of your items in fel in order to be a thief, and you don't have to use the steal skill on every targeted item in order to be a thief.
However, if there are people that are worried more about how someone is stealing then how closely they are following The Code, then maybe we should change the damn thing so we have some congruency.
Rule 12: You always have to use the stealing skill to steal something, and you always.. ALWAYS have to be on the Felucca facet while doing so.
Oh, and we can't venerate dip****s like Galad anymore because (from what I've gathered from what I've read in his episodes) he never used the stealing skill either, and simply used monsters to kill other players before looting them.
And maybe we can make an addendum or a note on the bottom of The Code that states that there may be different versions of The Code depending on what shard you are on, and depending on who is running the main thief guild on said shard at a given moment, and how much they like sucking up to the general populous.
Is that o.k. with everybody?
Oh, and I just had a great idea!! Maybe we should have pony and fluffy bunny fairs too, and invite all the trammies to a trammy events on each shard and hand out Whispering Roses and frolick through the Brit fields singing that stupid Barney song, and promise to never ever do any naughty things like stealing ever again!!

Who cares how anybody steals? This has been pointed out before, and it's worth repeating.. it doesn't matter how you steal, because they are just going to hate you after you do it anyway. It's not like the profession is going to get any worse a rep from someone guild stealing than it would if nobody had ever thought of burglary, guild stealing, or pulling a scam and trying to label it as thieving, and just followed my made up rule #12.
What's done is done. Thieves have stolen from guilds in Trammel, and any Trammel guild will from now on (or whenever it started) ALWAYS be on the lookout for thieves. It doesn't matter, because everyone will ALWAYS hate (or "hate") thieves.
