CODE OF CONDUCT

This list is designed to aid budding Thieves on their path. It is not all inclusive, encompassing or compatible with all RP styles. Just things I wish I had been told.

1. Don't out a fellow Thief. It's a personal choice to carve lockpicks or teach stealing out in the open, don't make that choice for someone else.

2. Don't interrupt a scam in progress, even if you disagree with it. I don't personally hold with protection schemes or smash and grabs but it don't mean they aren't profitable. I shut my mouth about it and let the scam go because at the end of the day, we're about cold hard coin. Don't go warning people there's a Thief in the area just cause you happen to like someone they're stealing from. You, guild, sheep. That's the order.

3. Steal, lie, cheat and kill each other all you want. The Sly could care less and personally I enjoy less competition. I tend towards camaraderie in the Guild but that isn't for everyone. Dog eat dog out there. Just keep it off the gweths which leads to my next point.

4. Don't draw undue attention to the Guild. This requires some brains, something we're known for. It might be tempting to fleece the Empaths and I wont say yay or nay on it, bearing in mind you'll make a few enemies in and out of the Guild for it, but for Damaris' sake, don't do it while they're healing or while they're piddlin' away in their own guildhall.

There's nothing that gets the sheep riled up like someone stealing from a 'helpless' Empath...nevermind two out of three of them could feed you your own teeth.

Graverobbing is the same. I don't particularly care for it but a platinum is a platinum. It just draws a lot of attention. Something we don't tend to thrive with. You may enjoy being the center of a lynching but you can bet the Sly knows what you had for breakfast, let alone if you're dragging unwanted gazes towards the build.
