Political Thuggery refers to acts which are generally interpreted as
bullying by the general New Haven populace. There are political costs
for this behaviour as people interpret it as depriving them of political
choices by trying to intimidate or drive away your potential rivals.<\/p>\n

There are three coded actions which are considered political thuggery.<\/p>\n

Killing a PC, unless they are at at least invite level 10 or fleshformed
this costs between 2 and 50% of your current political capital.
Killing a PC costs less if they are not in a faction\/society or if they
are in a relationship with you, or they haven’t been in the city very long.<\/p>\n

Maiming a PC, unless they are at least invite level 9 this costs
20% of your current political capital.<\/p>\n

Stealing from a PC, at invite level 3 you can steal cheap items
worth $1000 or less and relics from someone without cost, otherwise
it costs up to 10% of your current political capital.
At less than invite level 8 stealing expensive items from someone
costs up to 40% of your current political capital.<\/p>\n

All these commands require you to have reasonably high levels of political
capital to start with and cannot be used again for approximately a week.<\/p>\n

Please note that trying to achieve the same or similar effects to political
thuggery but bypassing the costs is against rule 4 against bug abuse. If
someone
hypnotizes you to maim yourself or give them an item you should ignore it.
If someone RPs blowing up a rival’s car or other similar act which should
reasonably be considered political thuggery but isn’t coded, that’d be against
the rules.<\/p>\n
