Ion frigate: Removed bit about saccing them: they don't follow you between levels, and altars never appear on the mall. Much easier to just lure watchmen (who do follow) and kill them at your altar

-The muggers in the Mall are not much of a threat, except inasmuch as one might find and use an attack wand or a highly enchanted weapon from a shop.  This is relatively rare, however, and most of the time they are somewhat nonthreatening.
+Muggers in SLASH'EM are not much of a threat, except inasmuch as one might find and use an attack wand or a highly enchanted weapon from a shop. This is relatively rare, however, and most of the time they are somewhat nonthreatening.
-However, given their habit of collecting items, they can be useful in stealing a few items from shops for you, which at the very least can then be sold back to the shopkeeper.  For this reason, it is well worth it to make sure not to kill them in the shops in the mall, but rather wait for them to come outside, so the shopkeeper will no longer own whatever items they are carrying.
+UnNetHack muggers are a little more dangerous because of their ability to steal from the player's pack, but otherwise they are no stronger or harder to kill than their SLASH'EM counterparts. A player in this variant may prefer to kill any muggers that appear, from a distance if necessary, before they can reach his or her pack, rather than spare them in hopes of reaping the benefits of their shoplifting.
