As already stated in an other thread, I agree to the general idea of marauder players' access to Almati, even with an own teleporter (which, not to pamper them too much, should be accessible only via NPC in marauder camp, not via crystal teleport).

Yet I disagree with the idea to give marauders their own occupation access. Indeed, every marauder may choose to keep her/his civ fame above -50 and enter every city unattacked to practise whatever occupation. Otherwise it would be more of a sneak and run challenge, but why should everything be easy for marauders?

In fact, marauders already enjoy a couple of privileges, much more in comparison with Rangers. Even if Rangers will eventually have teleport access to the prime roots, it will be but a point to point connection, without the possibility to teleport there when dead (mind that I welcome that things are not made too easy for Rangers). Marauders have more PR teleport opportunities than others, as far as I am informed. Their zyn crystal is technically superior to the pacts of the factions etc.

I supported the implementation of a normal infrastructure such as tatooists, hair stylists etc. in the marauder camp. Yet I fail to see that this camp is a full blown city, and the marauders should have every of the advantages a non insurgent homin in the new territories enjoys.

Yep, I can agree to that. I was just concerned with the thing about me using a Karavan Priestess to teleport me. I don't think we should have it an easier and also agree that the only way to Almati should be through a single NPC in camp.

Lacuna: I am aware that short after the fusion, the possiblity of marauders to enter cities unattacked was classified as a bug. Yet, "PvP jewels" are, strictly spoken, a bug as well (have a look into the code, it is just an omission), but has been considered a customary right of PvP fighters and will not be touched.

Likewise, city access of "small" marauders may be considered a feature and not become subject of change. That would be a valid, viable, and not too much resource consuming compromise allowing marauders to take advantage of the occupations.

And no, I am against "fair treatment" of marauders, as much as I am against "equal teleports" for Rangers (in fact, I would favor a couple of things harder in my organization, or at least tasks which require much skill and risk).

Marauders are the outcasts of the new territories, an insurgent force opposing everything hold dear by the rest of the homins there. The rest of hominity may have their quarrels, but they are limited by treaties and rules of conduct. One cannot expect that those who are bandits and terrorists in the eyes of the majority of homins in the new lands, openly striving to destroy their nations and to suppress their cults, will receive fair treatment.

I agree that life on the bark should be sustainable and interesting for a marauder player, and I would like roleplay and PvE opportunities being created making marauder life besides digging, crafting, and PvP more interesting (and am open for any reasonable proposal). Yet I would like the same for Kami, Kara, the four peoples, and of course for my organization as well. There is a shortage of development manpower, you know.

Ok, your point taken. I do not fully buy it, but it is a reasonable proposal.

Marichia: Marauders may access Almati freely and check for kizokoo. Only, they have to lie at the temples. For you, that should be easier than for me, because, as an inhabitant of the sharük, I feel bound to our four pillars, and truth is one of them. Moreover, rangers' precepts bind me to a friendly stance towards the cults, and lying them in the face is not really friendly. So my conflict is more severe than yours.

I would like both of them being resolved, by a hidden path to our headquartes for us, and a teleport for the marauders. As your ethical yardstick seems to be more flexible than ours, I tend to consider your conflict less pressing. Or does it put a load on your conscience to brazenly lie to a kami or kami priest/ess?
