Genua
From Discworld MUD Wiki
The Diamond City Genua is a city located near Uberwald, along the Vieux River. It is currently impossible to walk directly into Genua, but it is accessible by both arcane methods and the Intercontinental Express and Vieux River Road carriages. The language spoken in Genua is Morporkian, although with a Genuan accent, and the currency used is the Genuan livre.

Crime and Punishment
You can get a criminal reputation here by killing shopkeepers, killing or attacking guards, stealing, and hiring courtesans[1]. Consequences for this reputation can include guards attacking you (for serious offenses) and/or shopkeepers refusing to serve you (or reacting differently towards you); however, you can work this off somewhat by going upstairs in the watch house and asking for tasks to do. Tasks include:
- filling out forms
- removing graffiti in the city (graffiti is only visible with verbose look)
By doing community service several times, you can remove your criminal reputation completely[2].
You can also simply wait, as your reputation seems to go down with time.
Note that most courtesans are city guards in disguise. They're identifiable by being tougher when you consider them. Also, all city guards including those disguised as courtesans respond to a consider with a soul that changes for each guard, while real courtesans do not soul you when you consider them.
The Coffee Nostra families dispense their own, separate punishment to those who offend them (for example, by killing in their particular buildings). If they dislike you enough, they'll send hitmen after you.
There is, however, a positive side to being a criminal: you can buy things in the shop upstairs in the warehouse at the intersection of Nawlins Road and Dead Man's Walk. If you're too upstanding to shop there, a quick way to get a criminal reputation at little risk is to attempt a snatch from a guard or two (guards disguised as courtesans seem to count). (Note that while this won't (by itself) make guards attack you on sight (other than any you tried to snatch from), it will make most shopkeepers refuse to serve you until you do some community service or wait a while.)
