BAQD cleaning up the streets. (positions open)

Faranox · 7th July 2010, 00:47

Horse blocking the banker, but don't want to turn grey?
Someone's donkey stuck in the alley you use to get in and out of town, but your wimpy mage arms don't suffice?

Call us!

We'll sort out your obstructions with enough ire and determination to make a tamer cry!

1-800-BAQD-FTW*

--------------------------------------------------------------------
8-17-2010: SLEIPNIR occurrence in Meduli.

7-14-2010: Much support shown by citizens of Meduli. Even a GM came and approved of our service. Most citizens were very understanding and moved their mounts in a timely fashion. No news on previous GM horse trampling.

7-6-2010: While patrolling Meduli, my partner and I stumbled upon the body of a GM lying under a horse, apparently trampled to death. Further investigation pending. 5:56pm

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Mission Statement
We organize for the sake of protecting bipeds against the domination of quadrupedal creatures by any means necessary. Wherever such a creature is obstructing the lives of bipeds, such a creature will be dealt with.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Credo
Thought before speech, speech before action, action for those who fear to act.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

My dear Medulites, come hither! I have words you'll not wish to miss!

That's right, gather round, gather round... Good. Now then...

"Good folk of Meduli! I come to urge you to act on behalf of your glorious town!

How many days I've spent here, frustrated by the way people leave their riding beasts unattended? Many, I tell ye! Listen now when I say a time for action has come. We MUST put an end to this before it's too late!

Rally lads and lasses! If we unite we can turn the tides in this war! Too much sadness have I witnessed, as I've come upon a young refiner struggling to enter a building because some varlet left his horse in the door way. We act not just for ourselves, but for those who fear to act!

Join us in our battle against equine tyranny! Join our ranks, and stop this terror in it's tracks.

We shall fight them in the streets, with fist, foot, and blade!
We shall fight them in the doorways, biped glory shan't fade!
Fight!
Fight!
FIGHT!"

This message brought to you by BAQD (Bipeds Against Quadrupedal Dominance).

LET THE CLEANSING BEGIN!

keep up the good work

Ralpf · 7th July 2010, 01:22

Meduli is much less crowded. I assume you are only killing horses in the way of buildings or in choke points (like the bank) right?

Faranox · 7th July 2010, 01:25

Thanks for your question Ralpf! In answer to your question, members of the BAQD are screened for the utmost morality! We assess each situation thoroughly before we act. First we try to ascertain who has ownership of the quadruped in question and try to work things out civilly, which is usually how things go. The owner will realize their folly and move their beast out of the way of us bipeds.

Ralpf · 7th July 2010, 01:31

In that case you have my full support, if my horse Lightning gets out of line smack him for me (though he has been in the stable where he belongs the last few days), though tell me first.

I think I saw you in Meduli with what is almost a homophone of your forum name (at least as I pronounce it).

metavision · 7th July 2010, 01:37

Inside tows, cities... pets should consume more loyalty per minute. Thus, if left unattended, they will simply dissapear after a while.. 2 hours.

Or have the guard wack them if they haven't moved in 2 h...

That is a very nice idea.

SV dev team. Make it so.

grasthard · 7th July 2010, 06:02

i'm with you...

me and my loyal 60dmg bow will easily get rid of all those nasty animals

MisterJumbly · 7th July 2010, 09:44

As one of the founding members of BAQD, I thank you all that support us in our crusade against the quadruped menace.

Illuminus1985 · 7th July 2010, 10:03

Could this be extended to humans in the future possibly? So many AFKs standing around the store guy, a few less wouldn't hurt.

Nice, I can't stand pets randomly all over town. Really kills immersion.

razoreqx · 7th July 2010, 18:51

Good stuff!!! Same said for Vada! /signed. Its only a silver to stable your mount if your going to be in town a while you tight wads.. *grin*

Though I think a nice feature would be a /stable command while in the city limits of a town which automagically withdraws the 1s from your bank account. Its kind of a pain to bounce back and forth to storage to stable to storage..

Faranox · 15th July 2010, 04:42

We are now looking for new members! If you think you've got what it takes to be a member of the BAQD, send me a PM for details.

Any inquiries may also be direct to me.

I think the server would crash before the 2h mark and they'd be gone anyway...

Faranox · 17th August 2010, 19:22

Today during my shift I took note of a rather dangerous looking beast.
For now we're calling it codename SLEIPNIR and it is to be watched closely.
Any citizen reports would be appreciated.

Wiggin · 17th August 2010, 20:23

yay cleansing! :P

Ahh yes, I too have seen such a horse, be wary for it seems to have an ability to make time flow strangely for all but it's rider. (In other words my FPS plummeted when he came on screen, this was probably a month ago)

Faranox · 19th August 2010, 18:46

Included lists for Supporters and Horse Lovers.

Ferinn · 19th August 2010, 19:20

It would be necessary to forbid horses to enter cities and villages, and simply to add a shed with lock-up garage where we can put his horse, without paying. Or it would be necessary to introduce the competence allowing us to steal the horses.

I'm sure patrolling guards in cities won't be happy with citizens parking their horses wherever they like. The BAQD would welcome some Lictors' assistance in cleaning up.
As for stealing horses, I know this is something that was intended once, but I don't know if it's still in the works or not, but I assure you the BAQD will use all the resources available to it in removing the four legged menace from the paths we use every day.

althaen · 28th August 2010, 09:48

I think guards should give illegally parked horses a 20g ticket and the owner turned grey for 3 days.

Khayman · 28th August 2010, 13:49

Am not sure if it is you guys, but am a responable donkey with bags owner... And literally everytime i go into Meduli to pick up some water to process all the saburra i got, some anoying guy jumps my donkey. Sure he hasnt been killed yet, but its frustrating to see your donkey almost dead and quickly having to bandage him.

Its just anoying how people are attacking mounts now, i can understand leaving them around anoys you, i've never done such... always stable as i actually want my mounts to live, but really... I never had a problem with 50 horses in Meduli, whats wrong with walking around them?

incorrectlogin · 29th August 2010, 11:48

The current horse killers are in no way related to BAQD. We actually do a good job clearing out horses...and from the entire town. BAQD is a failure.

Faranox · 30th August 2010, 22:04

Khayman, I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I would assume those responsible are the group that incorrectlogin associates with. Apparently their mission is to kill everything in town with four legs. The reason behind the cleansing is this: people are careless. They leave their mounts set on follow while they run around town, getting it jammed in all kinds of places that make it hard for other people to get around and live their lives. Creatures blocking NPCs, creatures in doorways, a labyrinth of quadrupeds one has to sort through to get from one end of town to the other. It's just bad.
Also, it's been mentioned that all the mounts could be a culprit of in-town lag issues and all the crowding makes it even more difficult to deal with thieves in town (they steal, you chase them, accidentally hit horse- we all know what happens then).

In regards to you upstarts, I hear you are a disgraceful bunch of killers.
