    Hmm, pickpocketing and Ettiquette..:

    "Excuse me, my good man - would you mind awfully if I just took these few pieces of gold from your pocket?"

    "No, not at all! Please, be my guest. Of course, you do know that I will have to call the watch?"

    "Absolutely. In fact, I'd think less of you if you didn't. Of course, you'll give me the obligatory 2 second head-start?"

    "Of course! Fair's fair! Everyone has to make a living, after-all"

    "Right. All done. Pleasure doing business with you."

    "And you, Sir..... 1........2........ Help! I've been Robbed!!"..

    Nah, just made it up. To be honest, I was hearing John cleese's voice while writing it, so is probably monty python inspired.

    Etiquette is how the man keeps us in line
    There's no honor among thieves. Do what you want. If someone says otherwise, pickpocket them twice and stab em.

    Stab on the first try, I just like ruining people's day
    I stab right away. Not to ruin anyone's day - really don't care how others feel about what I am doing. I just suck at pickpocketing. Even with skill points into it.

    All the people stabbing right away... if you are farming the motifs... you're going about it the wrong way...

    I have never had a motif drop on the first pick or stab... mostly on the last (3rd) pick or stab... rarely on the second...

    I also thought of Discworld.

    One of the Patrician’s greatest contributions to the reliable operation of Ankh-Morpork had been, very early in his administration, the legalising of the ancient Guild of Thieves. Crime was always with us, he reasoned, and therefore, if you were going to have crime, it at least should be organised crime.

    It really isn't if the non-BoW player has picked already... if the other player BoW's mark, then the other player who picked already will get the remaining loot on the corpse...
