Nynaeve tells you, "I'm just realized who you are, I'm friends with your daughter, why are you stealing from me?"
You tell Nynaeve, "I have many daughters, and because you're not a citizen of Ashtan nor any of the Houses. I can hardly be expected to keep up with the friends of my daughter."
Nynaeve tells you, "I was thinking of becoming a citzen of Ashtan..."
Nynaeve tells you, "Don't think I will now if it's full of assholes."
You tell Nynaeve, "There're thieves in every city."
Nynaeve tells you, "Theives don't have to be asses."
@Tagg I didn't believe you until it almost happened to me. Was a close call.

The approach to Ashtan (road).
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. Dark shadows enshroud a pair of giant emerald serpent heads as they writhe, entwined atop an obsidian altar. A runic totem is planted solidly in the ground.
You see exits leading north and southwest.
ts
(svo): Will keep shield up.
(touch shield)
You touch the tattoo and a nearly invisible magical shield forms around you.
@Kresslack: Eh, it doesn't look too bad. I mean, sure, it's not a particularly deep or insightful way of communicating, but it's a perfectly valid IC stance.
I'd guess there are quite a few Achaeans who would have good reason to consider your character an 'asshole'.
Seconding @Iocun's sentiment. It's perfectly legitimate, and despite what @Vayne says, better than some of the actual Ashtani stuff I've laughed about on these forums.
(Not to say that the other stuff is representative, just that Vayne's quip is a bit unfair.)
I agree with @Iocun's thoughts on the interaction, but being a legitimate response does not indicate nor validate that it was a quality interaction on her part but only that it was essentially in character. You can hardly expect thieves to take it easy on your wife's sister's doctor's girlfriend because of some vague connection in a game where everyone is cousins. However, indignance is a perfectly reasonable response to being robbed, but calling an entire city assholes because of it is a bit much. My point is that I don't think Ashtan will miss a character that is so quick to insult their entire city.
@Delphinus You also use the "other Ashtani stuff" comment to gaff Ashtan so as to indirectly discredit Kresslack, yet added the caveat as an after thought that it is not necessarily representative of Ashtani RP so that you seem fair yourself while finally stating that my own comment was out of context. I would say your quip is unfair.
@Vayne: Except it isn't to discredit Ashtani, nor even @Kresslack. The only point that pertains to Kresslack is that it isn't really a poor interaction. I'm using the rest to deflate your idea that Ashtan has nothing to gain from her, owing to some higher standard, and I'd say the same of Eleusis.

I think Ashtan might be better off without one more person with an overwhelming sense of entitlement and judgmental tendencies. From an IC standpoint, I think it was pretty lackluster, and just made her a target for more theft, and death.
It's understandable that one would get upset about being stolen from, but as Vayne said, It's not as if every thief out there grants immunity to every friend of a friend, etc. Didn't know she knew my daughter, and it's not really relevant to begin with.
So, all that considered, I don't see how following in the lines with my profession makes myself an asshole, or my entire city 'full of assholes'. I steal from people, and move on minding my business, in the cases of keys and letters, I give them a chance to negotiate for the return.
Doesn't really sound like an overwhelming sense of entitlement. It makes perfect sense not wanting to join a city whose citizens constantly rob you and the city is ok with it. I can't judge how your character would be considered an "asshole" for the way he steals, because Iocun wasn't ever on the receiving end of it, so I lack the personal experience with Kresslack. But from second-hand accounts and Cyrene's charge logs I can see some things that would make it quite understandable for some people to have very negative feelings.
As for the "friend or your daughter" thing: Well, I assume the sentiment came from suddenly realizing "oi, that nasty person is actually the father of my friend!", which can be a rather shocking discovery, so she voiced it, even though yes, your character can't of course be expected to be aware of all of his daughter's friends and treat them as such.

Scivi breaks a crunchy cookie in half and pulls out a tiny slip of paper. He pops the cookie into his mouth, and only then does he look at the fortune. "Take pleasure in the joy of another today. If that doesn't make you smile, try killing their pony," he reads aloud. :-/
Plebs. I just do T YDACHI. Now if Ydachikachishiroul was raiding with a newbie named Ydachi, well, that's one less raider to worry about before going for the main target.

Pretty sure the last time I got that one it was "try killing their kitten".

@Erasariel: You should say something to some Shallamese navy person somewhere sometime and maybe another ship just might sail out and sink the pirates. Just sayin.
I am retired and log into the forums maybe once every 2 months. It was a good 20 years, live your best lives, friends.
