Mudballed guard and got "framed" for stealing

Apparently some Skywatch guards aren't into the festivities. I mudballed one and they arrested me for stealing. I suppose stealing someone's dignity is now an offence?

    Whoops! Aye, can't mudball guards, they get a bit bent outta shape if ya do.
    Suppose there should be a warning of some kind, but don't feel bad, we (probably) all did it the first time xD

    Yeah, it's a bit annoying. It counts as an "attack" to the game (which is also why you need to turn off "don't attack innocents" to throw the balls at NPCs at all).

    So the guards aren't thrilled that you're attacking them.

    Criminal scum.

    To be fair that is exactly what I would expect the guards to do after you threw mud at them, though in that kinda time period I would imagine the guards beating you up rather than putting a bounty on you.

    Even in real life a few years ago I remember news headlines of people getting charged with assault, for throwing water balloons at cops.

    Not only guards, but there's a bounty for throwing mud balls into the alliance leader's faces (hit all three for the achievement ;) )

    I hadn’t died to a guard in-game to date… until yesterday after I mud-balled Jorun in his temporary Court hovel. Both guards were facing away; I was in stealth; and had clicked the door to exit immediately afterward… yet, still accosted - and had multiple assailants after choosing to flee.

    More like it's
    MUD BALL *f*

    cos it never works
    either you hit a guard or interact with your companion - never throwing a ball at a VALID target!

    Heh. When I mudball'd Ayrenn for the cheevo and the guard directly next to her immediately apprehended me, and *after* I'd paid my bounty to them, Bastian muttered in a dark voice "Just because you didn't get caught doesn't mean you didn't deserve to."

    It's like.... but... I *did* get caught, and immediately paid my debt to society, all whilst you were watching?? Also shut up, you senseless goober.

    you can safely mudball "The Marines" in Skywatch, just not the "Guards", it's a bit confusing to me, but no biggie

    LOL. I love the explanation.

    And it was funny when I did it. I think the fine was low so no big deal. I think the dialogue should be specific to mudballs.

    You can safely mudball the guards, too. You just need to stay out of their way for a while afterwards. :smile:

    I always found it strange that the prophet chose us to help him in his fight against Molag Bal, when he could have just hired some guards. They're immortal, and their damage increases with time. Bloodthirsty jewelry on steroids.

    Mudballing guards is frowned upon and will give you a small bounty for each offense, but if you make sure to pick a spot you can easily run from and get away then it can be fun to rack up a sizeable bounty by mudballing several guards.
    I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!

    Companions are a pain in these quest. Try to find someone to burp at an Mirri keeps getting in the way, same with the mudballs.
