I always thought people wasted roleplay opportunities when they have mobs or charmies. Early on I decided to treat my special guards as people. I would say "good day, gentlemen", in group, every time I called guards. Special guards or later lieutenants. I would emote for them as often as I remembered. And then as Provost when I got lieutenants and through being Vindicator, I had Robert and Thomas. I had dreams of some imm actually naming them that somehow - not sure if that's possible - but I always enjoyed it. I had a few emotes that I liked a lot, like the one about one of them picking his nose during an interview or something, but I would have them do random stuff all the time. Acting like lieutenants and bodygaurds. I hope people enjoyed that.

I also decided that if I was going to be a badass guy - true or not - then I wouldn't cower in the guild. So, like Astein, I stood in the market. Interestingly, I very very very rarely got attacked there. People just wouldn't attack me. Well, except for the random paladin or something. But mostly not. Not that I blame them, I wouldn't attack a tribby in town either unless I had a really powerful reason. But I found it was a much greater deterrent to crime than standing in the guild, since much crime happens in and around the market.

And I also made the decision early on that I wouldn't do much hunting of noncriminals. In fact I can remember virtually all the times I actually went after someone who wasn't wanted by the law, and there are only about six or seven. One was Trylartin, who insulted Farnsworth's faith (and caused thror, wrongly in my opinion, to send drahk after me. He didn't succeed of course. ), and another was that elf paladin whose name I do not recall. But for the most part I stayed scores of hours in town and waited for a criminal to kill.

Anyway, that's about it for now. Sorry to do this piecemeal.
