Somewhere that I might say.
One thing that I have noticed recently is that many people (including, sadly, yours truly) are selling themselves as slaves on the trade chat for some silver. Has anyone else noticed this? (BTW, I couldn't care less if people start advertising themselves here. It would at least cut the spam in trade chat.)

Yeah, I've noticed that too. Seems like a new industry that was only fueled by the recent masquerade ball that auctioned off volunteer slaves for one day. One thing I've noticed about it, however, is that a large amount of people are selling off vampire slaves. Seems like a pretty good way to get caught as a vamp lol
 
The Economy sucks. People sometimes need to become slaves. Now who can we blame for this?

Oh dear... -quickly dashes behind a tree with a costume- hello? Me? A vampire? No! Can't you see these hastily-glued-on plastic scales? I'm definitely a Naga! (No offence to nagas.)
 
pss, ill tell you.. its fishing

Pfft, as if! We only get stupid fish out of fi-

*Sees 3 Premiums draw up diamonds from fishing*

{Like this is legitly serious, when a person told me the first time Fishing ruins economy, I refused to believe it did. Then someone right next to me fished up diamond...}
 
The thing is, people suck at role playing. I mean, who wants to be a slave in medieval times? Nobody. If we're going to have slaves, becoming one should be caused by someone capturing you. For example, a small plugin could be put in place where leads can be tied to players. If the player tries to run, the slave catcher will kill them. It adds all kinds of new RP possibilities

Hmm, that sounds like a really good idea in theory, but we'd have to make sure that it didn't instill mass chaos and death... Anyone got any ideas?

you are right there, leads should be attachable to players. The player the lead is attached to cannot go more then a certain distance from the player who is holding the lead. These leads could also be tied to fences like normal leads. I'm just imagining all the possibilities, form traps from fences attached to pistons which drag the player to their death, to hangings which the player is dangled over a pit of lava, it would be fun.
 
I love where all these ideas are going. :D This message was posted after my question about whether or not the idea on Overlordqwerty's idea thread about whether or not he got the idea from my post on here btw.
 
Can we please keep these on-topic? All of those suggestions are amazing and deserve their own thread. Any one got anything else to say about the slave situation, or will adverts start popping up?

I do.

To be honest, if there are going to be slaves, you can't sell yourself as one. It's such complete misuse of the term slave when people get paid for it. The people who want to do work for money are servants. Not slaves. However, I do like the fact that there are slaves and I think it is a good addition to rp when used correctly.
 
Agreed. Maybe combining your suggestion on leashes with a heavy raid on a faction would provide 'slaves'. Unless anyone else has anything to say on the matter?
Hanging a vamp wouldnt do anything. They dont need to breath.
Vampires do need to breath, we can just breath underwater. Whenever I (IG) glitch out and teleport into a wall with /home, I die quicker than you could say 'Oops'.
 
Slavery has no impact on my duties as a Cathar, as such I neither support nor abolish slavery.
