Just A Thought, Or Maybe A Concern.

OOC:

Hey everyone, I was going through some of the older posts on here and saw that some people brought up the issue with the boat and how it brought people to the Vale, which is a good thing, but it also brings people that don't necessarily have good intentions for us or our lands. I think that what Darkjames said back in April as a solution for this problem is a great idea, he said that we should rebuild the boat and put a locked door that only halflings and honored guests can use with the permission of the Vale and its residents.

The reason I bring this up, is that I love the Vale and everyone in it and I don't want to have to end up dying because people come to the Vale uninvited and immediately start picking fights with us. A great example of someone coming to the Vale for no other reason then to fight is the orcs, I saw one of them and had to hide for a good 10 minutes in my burrow because he was running around the Vale and killing livestock and monsters alike. It would fit our quiet life style better if we only allowed certain people we trusted into the Vale so that problems like these do not arise.

Tell me what your opinion on this matter is, and if you think we should keep the boat the way it is or should we rebuild it and bring a measure of security back to the Vale.

EDIT: If we have an issue with people wanting to become a halfling and taking the boat to the Vale, but them not knowing the password to use the boat, then they would have a reason to post on the forums here so we know who our new residents are and it will be easier to keep track of any new halflings joining the community.

I very much like this idea. 1 Million yeses from me. However I like the little simple boat... definitely wouldnt need to rebuild something huge and grand. We do only live near a river. So maybe we can alter the current boat with a password?

Maybe we can get a little dock made for the boat we currently have, and have a dock house made with a locked door so they have to get through that before they enter the boat, which is the only possible entrance onto the boat.

Basically we would get a new dock built, with rails on each side so players can't climb over the edges and get into the boat. They would have to enter via the entrance of the dock house and that would be the only way to get in or out of the dock.

I like the boat we have currently. It's perfectly fine, there's no reason to replace it. And concerning random people coming to the Vale through the boat.. Just slap a locked door on the boat in the Cloud Temple.

Well in RP other races are not supposed to be able to use it but they honestly don't care so I had been thinking of doing something like this: Having a locked door and it would act as our skipper only taking halflings across. When a new halfling wants to come to the Vale they can get us to open the door for them as in RP our skipper would let a fellow halfling across. As for anyone else they could simply send us a letter and we could ferry them across. As for events and festivals we can simply get it removed until the end.

Keep the boat, build a door at the cloud temple, with signs instructing people to introduce themselves in this forum. Fixed.
