How to RP encounter with player of hostile faction - Stefz - 10-13-2011
' Wrote:yes. i don't understand why are the corsairs and outcasts depicted as the worst possible level of hatred around :lol:Lol.. Just took them for example, as I am focused on my Outcast char for RP. There are also Hessians and Corsairs, Junkers and Hogosha, Council and GRN and many more.. Really just made an example.

Dont confuse him with your cynicism.
Lumik8, please disregard the posts of Dodlike and Reptile as they are sarcastic, wrong, and display a horrible attitude towards pvp/rp interaction.

It was a territorial dispute over the Sigmas and some parts of Bretonia. I swear the Alpha/Theta hole was left in by accident, as a way for Digital Anvil devs to get around quickly during beta-testing.

I believe that its more a case of showing respect to the other player. There is no need to talk about the weather, how pretty your lights look, the price of a beer at newark station. Its simply a courtesy to the other human player controlling the hostile character, to not simply open fire on them.
Aside from that, as the others here have pointed out, it is in fact a server rule.
I try to have fun with it. eg:
Navy: Oi Rogue, yer filthy maggot infested pile of cat spew! you have 2 choices, a 3 by 3 meter cell, or suck vacuume!
Rogue: oh really? Then come and get me! Just you try it, if you have the guts!
simple

' Wrote:Hi there, I have a question about RP in encounters with players of hostile or at war factions (for example Mollys - BMM, Rheinland Police - Unioners, Outcasts - Corsairs and others like this). Can I shoot on them instantly? Or I have to at least shout something (e.g. "Burn in hell!" or "Wrong place and wrong time buddy, now you will die!")?You'll usually have the enemies in contact LONG before you're in firing range. Roleplay could be as simple as
I hope that usually RP rules of fire at encounters ("All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. "Engaging" is not sufficient.") are not apllied to this because I think it is an illogical to chat with my death enemy (and what I can say to him? "Hello my hate enemy, I am going to kill you. Are you ready? Ok, lets start fight..." :-) )
Mollies encountering BMM: "Oh, look, thar be a couple of BuMMers stinkin up ol' Dub. Le's remedy that situation... Fer Molly. Fer Dublin!"
Rheinland Police finding Unioners: "Kommissar, zhere are zhose Unioners zhe base had on scanners. Vhe should eliminate zhis threat to zhe civilians here and now."
Outcasts finding Corsairs: "Oh, look, more maneaters. I hear there's still a food shortage on Crete. Perhaps your family could feast on what's left of your corpse when I'm done with you."
Just signal intent with more then two words, that's all that is really needed. If you somehow end up in a fight rightaway (such as undocking into a multifighter furball and taking fire rightaway) you can forego this: A pre-existing fight that you are joining does not require you to post engagement roleplay (although most people still do when able).

Try fighting with words, sometimes its funnier than actually just shoot someone...

Something you always should be aware of is that the other players want to have fun, just like you, too. There is nothing that makes you more :rage: than an interuption with gunfire during not so bad RP. Keep in mind that the others are playing here because they want to RP to live and not want to RP they will end up in an escape pod or even die, all the time.

Right.
Just use /l1 as preset message feeling offended, /l2 for engagement notice and this forums for Q_Q when you die.
All you need really.
' Wrote:Well, it's an unwritten convention on this server that every PvP encounter is preceded by discussion about weather, well being of participants' pets, general politics, mama jokes and other nonsense.
It's generally frowned upon not to offer your enemy a tea and talk for less than 15 minutes before opening fire.
Nothing more to say:lol:
