I just want some explanation.

NCR. Some blue jacketed shit-eater is going to steal from me. I see his actions, I know that he is going to steal, but I'm in a "protected" town, so there are guards, e.t.c. I can't attack him.
So, he steals from me, 4 guards are standing near, nobody cares, THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO STOP HIM from stealing, ok.
He gets "thief" status, there is a big red word THIEF over his head, guards do NOTHING, ok.
He is trying to run away, I follow him (do NOT attack), and SUDDENLY everybody is attacking me and I'm dead.

So, I did nothing, I got stealed, killed and looted in a center of NCR and NONE OF THE GUARDS DID ANYTHING.
What the hell are they doing in game?

You've might got a "blocking" tag, due to lags or some bug. That's why guards shot you I guess.

And try to chill out a bit, it is just a game. Geez, some people ...

[Kharaam]

a small tip: if he has a red "(thief)" sign you can shoot at him freely! so maybe you went into crossfire?
but be aware sometimes players pretend to have a thief tag by saying "/s (thief)" this would be also visible in your message box

[vedaras]

the (thief) must be pink not red if you want to shoot him.

[Kharaam]

let's say it is a bleached kind of red colour, not exactly pink, not exactly red

I hate guards. They shot my mercenary for being in the wrong spot at the wrong time, and they shoot me in the back for running across the map with a gun (I keep forgetting to put it away)

The gaurds?They just like to hang out in the front for the entertainment.You know,in case someone gets raped.

If you someone tries that you just need to look in the chat window to see if the ! shows up there.Even if you are close to the entrance it wont make too much difference.

I just wish the rate at which the (thief) tag comes and goes is increased. It is easily possible to stand near the exit (or maybe not even that close) of NCR and when a thief comes up to you, they go before you even get to see if it was actually a thief attempt, or a person going "Shift/ Exclamation Mark".

Yeah, I once was running by thief-acc in NCR and always shouted "U ALL <bad word>" if any players were near me, so nobody can't see <thief> tag on me. By the way acc's name was like HelloImThief or something like that, can't remember. Anyway nobody touched me.

Yea just like yesterday when I spent 3 hours gettings materials for guns and armor. Went to Junktown to train gunsmith and right in the middle there were guards basically running in place and warping back to their spot.

So I got PK'ed in the middle of town (Doc-AV the name or something) with a couple other "dangerous" people. I couldn't even tell what the hell happened but I think the guard shot me down and the pks got to loot me. Also, might I mention that I came back to see if I could get my stuff back and the pks shot me dead again. What's the point? To be an asshole? Sounds like frustrated virgins that can only get some sort of satisfaction in life by killing people in games. I'm glad I wasn't born ugly, nerdy and unfriendly.

come on man... in the middle of town?? Just disable combat in a few towns, preferably the newbie ones...but no, the game tends to the assholes.

What about thieves? You want to kill them if you be able, don't you? Disabling combat in towns, even "newbie ones" (which one are these anyway?), won't let you defend yourself from thieves and bombers.

[Kharaam]

well, got killed in Junktown?  I also did a few times...don't worry it is just a game. Don't try to understand PK's- noone does for real.
one small tip. before you go inside the town, check what's inside with town/world button, it is very usefull since you don't need to go inside
if you get killed... well it happens- robbers are everywhere in Postapocalyptia, the world is harsh and life here not easy too. Get used to it!

[Lenon]

Heh its true.
I start play yesterday. First character stuck in room with closed doors (i close them...) and noone open it for me. Shit happens all the time.
Today i start with new char. To be exacly 4 characters. Everytime I spawn first time on map I got killed and looted, one time after loading screen I was dead. Guys with powah armorz... no guards in Junktown. I get rly pissed off but this is the time when we are waiting for wipe. people start to crazy and U need to w8. And remember to be aware. Its tricky with yelling "thief" isnt it?

Your experience is a result of the prewipe crazy, as you suspect.
