Alter Aeon Rules of Conduct

Rule 7.4 - Informational - dropped equipment

Traditionally, equipment dropped on the ground is fair game for all.

Dropped equipment is equipment that you specifically drop, using the
'drop' command.  This does not include equipment that is removed from
you without your consent, such as when you die.  Zombies used to retrieve
corpses are NOT to be messed with if they are in the possession of eq.
Further, weightless containers purchased via donation are NOT to
be touched.

Other cases of this sort:
Corpses
Zapped equipment
Disarmed weapons
Corpse eq (after the corpse has been eaten)
Equipment donated for the purposes of a corpse retrieval
Equipment in a player's inventory
Equipment on a player's pet or golem

Note that there is a grey area for storage characters that feel the need
to drop containers due to weight concerns.  In general, you should be
polite when encountering stupidity of the level required to drop five
hundred pounds of equipment on the ground in a public place.

For those of you with storage characters, we strongly recommend that your
character be capable of sorting its inventory without resorting to
dropping stuff.  If this isn't the case, you're a dumbass.
