' Wrote:Sorry, you miss my point. If you are the one they retreated from, you have the choice to ignore their violoation or start spewing OORP garbage. Obviously it depends on the situation. IF someone clearly abuses it, then sure, report away. If not, go with the flow, have fun fighting with tactics for once.
Little historical notice there. At the beginning we used not to report combat or any other rule violations, just kept going on playing. This had led some people to believe they can violate rules against us as we wouldn't report them. In the end we got fed up having daily re-engagements several times, so I put zero tolerance policy in place. It is still there and I'm not taking it away. Relaxations, while being good willed at first on practice fail as they end up being abused to the extreme.
Once again I would like to remind that rule violation is a rule violation, regardless the way you perceive it personally. It is written there to be followed, not to be chosen today and disregarded tomorrow depending on the mood, situation, roleplay or whatever. I've been very lenient, my good will has been abused. Times change.
Now if I'd be lenient now I would become a buyist. It's all or none there.
And here is my final point: just . do . not . break . rules. If you don't like them - try to appeal to change them first. Until then you'd be violating rule plain and simple, no excuses.
