After a while one has to wonder, what's the point? They aren't going to win that way, and by basically bringing the game to an unsatisfying screeching halt like that, they are guaranteeing that if they ever DO change gears and try to win, everybody else will do everything in their power to make sure that doesn't even come CLOSE to happening.

Basically what I'm getting at is, a level 1 (or 2 in this case) thief CAN pull this sort of nonsense if they make THAT their goal, instead of actually having a goal of winning the game, but in most cases they don't because they just ensure they won't win, and that they WILL be the target of pretty much every curse anybody comes across, until they find one that makes them lose their class.
