Hey gang,
Well I've been doing my best at raising a rogue and I've already experienced the heartbreak and fun of the theft system. It's become incredibly appparant that I am brutal at not getting caught.
Do any of you have some good tips on what aliases you use, and strategies for stalking prey etc. I don't really care about how to kill, that part I've figured out relatively well. Just the ppure theft aspect of things.

alias x steal $* from target nick steal suicide (password)
no sarcasm at all. prevents you from getting harassed by the admin for being unbalanced/unlawful/not in theme/ruin the game or whatever the current excuse of the month is for thieving rogues.
don't lie karrot. we know you are making a rogue so you can sneak past guards and smell/taste stuff.

But IF I wanted to make a good rogue then how would I go about doing that....? 1. Build a time machine. 2. Go back about 4 years before theft got screwed over. 3. Make an elf rogue. 4. Use a good alias system. 5. Steal Steal Steal. 6. Run, hide, or kill until bounty is over and repeat step 5.

I can post my alias system but unless it is comfortable to you, it won't do you much good. Pretty much I have almost any theft command you would need aliased to save time.
Alias: em emerge f follow target h hide j judge target o exa target t nick $* target tr trip target x steal $* from traget xp steal pipe from target
Just find a mark and (t victim) to setup the nick for the rest of the aliases. Then (j) judge them to get the needed info. Then (x) to steal coins or (x item) to steal item. (xp) is given since it is common. Maybe add a few other common items to speed up the stealing. Then an alias for carding if that is your thing.
For stalking and targets, I would hang out around the bear guild. Lots of easy victims plus you get to see them donate any uniques you want to buy. If you are into stealing from parties then puffy, misha, and shanni are good places to camp at. If you are really patient you can wait around at some major kills and hope that some people walk buy. The bank is also a good place to wait for people to withdraw money from and to follow out of tant. The ranger camp works well too as a place to hang near and catch people going by to follow.

Awesome! That's the stuff I was looking for. I've been working on my rogue skills and I just got killed by someone on my last attempt at running a bounty so I am down about -10k on my rogue skills. But this is great info thanks!

-10k on skills from death. Do you still get 1 study point for every 60 exp? If so then I guess you lost about 60,000 exp from death meaing you had to be a fairly high level when you died which means you waited until higher levels to steal (which was my only other piece of advice) or just never got caught early. Hopefully some better rogues will come by and add more info to help since I haven't played a rogue (or anything else) in a while due to school.

Doh. Too drunk to do simple calculations. 10k*60 would be 600k not 60k. Anyways. I was never good at running bounties. I just always died early and gained my level back quicker than it would have been to run it but that was when there were only 19 levels so a death didn't mean too much. Maybe tehlung will offer some advice about running bounties. I was talking to Malire about some theft/law stuff the other day and she said something along the lines of "MrKrinkle. No one could catch that booger."

Here is my theft alias I use...I use the keys Z X C V ***I use caps cause my z x c v b is my kick your ass alias's like nock bow, throw hunga-munga etc...***
A = exa opponent AA = judge opponent Z = emerge X = steal coins from opponent C = ccard opponent V = hide XX = follow opponent closely
t = nick opponent tt = unnick opponent y = nick coins yy = unnick coins
ok so after insert all these alias to get them to work you want to steal inhuman's pipe so u will do the following.
t inhuman y pipe *press Caps Lock* A AA *after exa and judgeing you feel is safe to attempt the steal* Z X C V *press Caps Lock again to resume normal play*
Hope this helps you and its really easy system if you understand what ure doing.
