Guard Ideas

(Note! this may be very out-of-date, but ill look into it, and perhaps ill even do some shots)

I for one is VERY annoyed about the guard system, i mean i thought it was the meaning to make this game as "real" as possible, without the boring stuff, and i for one (altough i am on the "right" side of the law,and is annoyed against al sorts of theivery, the system, scream guard, and you get retaliasion, BORING!, what if i want to deal the sentance myself, or lets say im a newbie, not very strong, and a GrandMaster Warrior/Swordsman, with a Magic Halberd comes over to me and steals all my stuff, then i cant do anything, but if it were the other way around, i could deal the punishment...
well lets say im the newbie again, no stuff, against a fully fleshed, plated, armored @ssH*le, i dont know about you, but i for one would call the guards, calling the guards, the Powerfull character decides to revenge my action and strikes me down, while a patroll of 2 or so guards come into view, and screams for the criminal to stop, Healing me, the guards take up the chase upon the creep, and as soon as a guard sees him, he engages him in combat, while a Guard officer (ill tell you more about my "guard officer" later) gates in guards in different ways out of town, while the guards are doing this, maybe the thief is a member of a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY powerfull clan, and sends them a message asking for help, they send a rescue party of 40 members, upon reaching the battle field, they help their companion, outnumbering the guards 10-1 they decide to stay and try their luck against more guards, during this battle the town criers announce the battle, people choose their sides, people helping and defending their guards, gather reputation, and also might get a reward after the scirmish,should they survive and turn back the threat, in this way towns could expand and shrink over the time of minutes, one minute the guild holds their ground, advancing, making the town smaller, after this, should i have survived this. a guard will return my things from the corpse (my stuff and my stuff only) others stuff he got uncaught the guard will not touch, leaving for looting by the victorious side, this would be great for guerilla war, like capturing lord Blackthornes castle a guild could establish themselves there, while players teleporting in from all sides tries to protect the lands from thos scoundrels,protecing their Lords properties, they drive the agressors out of britain, for a long time, till they have repented their sin, by for example slaying some great threat to britain, an unique monster for example.
As i said earlier i had some ideas for guards, my main idea is to remove the lousy system of telefraggin' guards, because actually THEY SUCK!, it isnt a roleplaying game where you cant get a way with something, REALLY sinister, i mean, if the Police was that efficent, neither John F. Kenedy nor Olof Palme would be dead now, or at least their murders found, and "pacified" (*grin*) well, what would you like makeing the guards intelligence drop to about 10 while dex and strenght go up at 80 (rememebr this is just thoughts, and they MUST be strong and agile to get into the guard, right ? :)
Ever seen a Virtue Guard without the possibility to use plate ??,well, i havent, there may be some, that have become on other ways, not involving strenght, well were not talking about VIRTUE guards, so, if you do like that, and then make the guards more cooperative, or making them work in pairs or in groups, for example, patrolls of 4-5 guards inside the castle ?,not completely wrong thought, go to my screenshots page and check out some of the pics i took on my first visit in Lord Britshs castle, were i thought i would meet litterary hundreds of guards, i met a maximum of 4, and PERHAPS, as many outside, that is mot nearly how many there is at the first bank of britain for example, the "important spots would of course be guarded the most heavily, but it should be easilier to comitt a crime in other parts of town, for example, making it quite easy stealing and murdering at the archers shop in britain, while making the bank guarded 24h a day. My other idea involves making a whole new Guard type, the Guard Officer, or Guard Mage, a Grizzled old Guard, who have after many years of being a guard, decided that his physical body wasnt strong enough, hence practicing the arts of magi, making strong bakups for the the normal guards, like gating the guards quickly to were the battle is, you could even go as far as giving each Guard officer an own color, wich all Guards wearing a bandana or something representing that officers personal guard, that could prove to be fun, like haveing guard officers who were almost legends, officers who had saved the city time after time, a more powerfull officer with more spells at his command, and more mana, for example that is, it would probably still be great fun either fighting with or against a officer that was like a hero in the city, the other thing i would enjoy about killable guards, you could loot them, ive never seen a guards armor break, probably a GM smith ,eh ? Either that or it is that f*cking invulnerability, witch gets me so angry, OSI going on about how "real" they want to make the game, while it makes you feel like a babie in a craddle, just waiting for someone to tell you if youve been a nice boy or girl, lets hope the new reputation system solves this!, or some of it :)

I would love to get some response on this...
(and yes, if you would like to publish this, or send it to OSI, sure you can take some credit,but mention my name and this page as a start for your own ideas, this page may not be large yet, but as i go, it will grow to enormous porporsions, will maybe get a better address and get lots of people help me with making the pages, (for example i may move all the pages to passagen,torget ,geocities or something like that to ensure that everyone can help with the page, since as big as i want it to get, i wont be able to do myself :)
so please drop a line, i seldom do check my email, (never get much anyways) when i do, i answer everything worth answering, no asshole comments, and no i do not hate OSI, i just belive they have made some bad planning, and are starting to gather it all up now).
