SleepyJo Report post Posted April 29, 2008 Excuse my ignorance and lack of knowledge but before I and my guild are doing something wrong here I want to ask this question. If we as a guild get red tagged by another guild is it ok to jump their bags and/or scam the members? Simple reason is in the occasion of being red tagged by another guild I would allow my members to even scam members of another guild with a red tag and not only just bagjump them.

korrode Report post Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) SleepyJo, the responses from the =Hc= and *CO* members i can confidently guarantee do NOT reflect the opinion of the bulk of EL guilds or the community in general. If you are red-tagged by my guild, we will not scam/serp/brod/bagjump u, it just means you are a priority target in PK. The only way a member of my guild would do these things to you is if one of your members did it to us first, in which case you would be brown-tagged, not red. In my experience most guilds do not perform outlaw acts on their red tags. Edited April 29, 2008 by Korrode Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LabRat Report post Posted April 29, 2008 Red tagged in (TC) means beware of them (bagjumpers/scammers/harvester PKers etc). We would never resort to scamming just because of a red tag. I have in the past bagjumped someone who was at the time bagjumping people around me (I hid his bag and told him "go find it") but I would respond very negatively to a member doing anything like that. Bagjumping or scamming is a slippery slope and I would not recommend going down that particular path. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kailomonkey Report post Posted April 29, 2008 I don't think scamming is ever ok. Bagjumping is a scalable offence, by which I mean individuals will have different opinions towards plain bag jumping and taking bags from pking, for example. However, choosing to do these as a guild or not will affect how players and other guids treat you. Also, doing wrong to others for whatever reason, will not help sustain a pleasant EL to live in, which is partly the purpose of outlaws. And that is true whoever you will be doing them to, even redtags and other outlaws. The best way to affect EL for the good is to lead by example, in my opinion. But there are many types of giulds with many different views, and I wish you luck and hope you find the replies in this topic useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norm Report post Posted April 29, 2008 DOA guild red tags almost everyone, but it is just a pk thing. To tell the truth, it means little to me on a non-pk map. Some of my good friends in game are red tagged, I don't att them on pk map, but it does not mean my guildies won't . However, regardless of tag color, I would never bj or scam. You have to make up your own mind, and then live with your choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simple reason is in the occasion of being red tagged by another guild I would allow my members to even scam members of another guild with a red tag and not only just bagjump them. Have you ever stopped to work out why you were red tagged in the first place.... Most PK guild red tag everyone regardless - if a guild specifically tells you that you are red tagged, then you must have done something to upset them. So the question I feel should be why were we red tagged? And as for bjing/scamming (even enemy guilds) - that will certainly get you lots of red tags Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ateh Report post Posted April 29, 2008 Some guilds will red tag another guild simply because they have been known to bj/scam another guild. I honestly think if you give permission to scam/bjer/whatever to your guild members you will quickly find that after a few posts of your guild on outlaws , people who have had no direct contact with you will start red tagging you. So to be honest, probably not a good idea to encourage scamming or bag jumping. Thing is, even if you then change the short name of your guild AFTER youve been red tagged , it wont matter. The new short name will still appear red tagged. I dont think some people realise that when they try and change thier short guild name Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyewacket Report post Posted April 30, 2008 Some good advice on what is deemed acceptable to the community at large on here, but in the end its how your guild and yourself feels most comfortable playing with regards the rules you make for your guild to follow. Those rules may also be as hard set or as flexible as you wish them to be, changes of policy towards other guilds are quite common in EL, a quick flick thru the guilds section of this forums is proof of that very fact.

Infect Report post Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) The guild who red tagged |W| is SIN, my new guild. A member busterblader, came and sat at my fluff spawn with ti set and went afk with mm perk. I politely #ig'd and asked the person to move, since he was near where the fluff spawns. and I got a rude remark from Thegreatlord. Here's chat logs.

robotbob Report post Posted May 1, 2008 Just to elaborate on what normtide said, I thought I'd explain why we have most guilds red tagged. It has nothing to do with malice toward the guild, or that the guild has -wronged- us in anyway. That guild isn't an enemy, just not an ally. We hold no econ embargo, or anything like that for guilds, 'not ally'. Its just for tag color contrast in a pk map\battle. Blue\Green for allies and our tag, and red for -everyone- else. Just like green=go, red=stop. You can quickly scan an area for color alone and determine the 'odds' in a large battle. We do reserve brown\dark red for guilds using a brod against us, or other issues, but still we do not allow bj\scam ever, for any reason. The concept of scamming turns my stomach, violate a trust for personal gain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smokeyd Report post Posted May 5, 2008 1) if you are (mutually) red tagged then in see no reason why there would be enough trust to exploit to allow for a scam 2) if you are redtagging guilds just to feel better about scamming their members, you're kinda just justifying outlaw actions to yourself, scamming is scamming and will get you posted on outlaws reguardless of what color you desiganate to another guild's tag 3)you've already shown yourself to be a remorseless bag jumper, so i don't see why you are concerned with bagjumping protocol unless you have changed your ways, in which case you can pm me in game to return my 20 bear stone ing's minus the gypsum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
