slaves.. he he *kind of taking 'bodygaurds' further

So.. If you can hire bodyguards for a price, why not "win" bodyguards or "sell" yourself as a bodyguard and call them slaves?
For example:
If I'm completely out of turns or gold, I can sell myself as a slave for a day to whomever would purchase me. I'd be basically sharing my armor and weapon with my master for any fight they encounter, and in return, I get a bit of the exp points and gold they win. They would get a few extra forest fights, and I would lose a few.
How you'd "win" a slave is simple, as well:
The winner of a PVP fight, if they chose to offer slave status to the loser (players who opt to become slaves when they've been beaten in the fields have checked the "slave" option in their preferences prior to any fight. They can opt not to, in which case they die & lose a portion of exp points as it is now) gets the majority of the benefits. The winner would gain all that they would as a master who 'bought' a slave. Additionally, the loser may have to provide the winner with a percentage of their gold during the next game day.
Just a suggestion.
:D

Odd suggestion. I certainly like aspects of this... being able to earn exp/gold while someone gets more stability in the inn. Don't know how possible it would be to code, but inerestign none-the-less.

I think that that would be too easily abused by people... It effectively allows a form of money- transfers and inter-player interaction is probably far too complicated to code at the moment, at least on the main server. Were you thinking of something like the Jie'e'Toh (check spelling) system in the Wheel of Time?

Sneak, I wasn't thinking about the Wheel of Time, but that's a good suggestion, actually.

I was just thinking it would be fun to have a slave :)

Also, I see the abuse issue (and definately the coding difficulties involved!) But if it can be coded at all, it would be easy to limit the number of times you make someone your slave - or at least the level both parties must be to enslave/become master of someone of certain rank.

I suppose I'm also looking for someone to protect me in the fields! I have a fair share of Ramius time! :)
