Breaking and Entering

[dUMMY]

Would it be acceptable to break into an otherwise locked building by RP breaking through a window?

 

[Camernater3]

Even better would be just rp breaking through a window at any time

Depends if the RP breaking is agreed to.
I imagine breaking any part of the building (And not replacing it) would be considered as griefing.

Best clear it with the person who's house you're breaking into, and have them open a door or something.

Been chating about it in OOC chat

I doubt anyone would appreciate you literally breaking into their builds so as angry suggested, it's probably best to ask. Maybe ask nicely beforehand and arrange a time for them to open the door or at least have some glass panes at the ready. Maybe even bring your own glass panes to save them the hassle. Otherwise it seems like a cool RP activity.

I think leaving a smashed window would be good for RP as it suggests that criminal activity actually happens.
That being said, I imagine people would cry about griefing though.

And in places like the Naught if your say, getting out but the entrance is blocked?

True, I guess it all depends on the opinion of the broken into player, if they agree, they might even move some bits about, make the place look trashed etc.

one would need region perms in order for this to occur. . .

I'm not actually talking about breaking the window in MC. Let me paint the situation:

Player walks up to window and says in chat *smashes window and climbs in*. Then the player walks through the front door saying they got in through the window.

That is what I mean. No left clicking to break anything involved.

Sounds fine to me, so long as you're actually capable of climbing through the window after you've smashed it (Yah know, not a second story window or something).

Other people have suggested contacting the building owner first to ask. Does this seem needed to you guys? Especially if you wanna do it secret agent style?

 

[Teeke]

what exactly would you be able to find if the person you are rping "with" isn't involved? that would be teetering on powergaming.
"oh yeah, while you weren't logged in I broke into your house and stole all your things. give em to me because I broke in and you couldn't stop me"

Knowing Dummy, he'd probably do it while they were online just for the challenge of it.

Just gotta quote this cuz "oh yeah"

 

[dUMMY]

well yeah, I only want to do it with them there.

 

[dUMMY]

Also, the person I'm going to do this to -will- be in RP at the time.

So, any official decision? Doable w/o builders consent or no?

I think it yes, so long as you are not breaking anything it =/= greif.
