Re: tags and items.
Its an imperfect system but that's the nature of having to put a rule for every action someone can take. You have to write rules assuming people will be their worst and try to game or take advantage of the system as much as possible (rules roland), not their best to conform to the spirit of the game and what is really feasible (rules kael). Whenever you loot an NPC to strip them down of plate mail or a chain shirt in the middle of a field, you benefit from the idea that the tag = the item instead of the rep = the item. And Ralinwood has the capacity to rep all that armour, and make you spend 5 minutes squiring an uncooperative corpse to get it if they wanted to. It really only bothers people when it disadvantages them.
Also re: comment above about OOG bag, you cannot put tags in OOG bags unless an effect (sigil of pocket, etc) allows you to do so. If you leave your armour in your tent, you leave your tags in your tent where they can be stolen, etc.
Anyways, thanks NPC camp for having me. You guys did a great job and worked pretty hard through some stressful weather, which tends not to bring out the best in PCs with respect to patience, understanding, and compassion. I'm sorry my footwear gave out after 3 mods but hopefully I still managed to help / contribute wherever or whenever I could.
