Question regarding PVP rules

[Jinx]

rules only apply when the people cannot agree on different terms. so - in general, players adhere to the rules, cause the rules represent the lowest common denominator regarding to interaction on a community base.



if however all the people involved feel that they can "skip" one of those rules or more, its up to them ( but only if EVERYONE involved agrees out of her/his free will ) - so the harvesters were allowed to attack zoners with capital ships ( a direct violation to the rules ) - but they only attacked those that "allowed" them to do so on a playerbase, so that they could RP on a characterbase.



so if you duel with someone, you can make your own rules - mind if there happens to get another person involved ( like when you duel, and are ambushed by a pirate ) - the general rules apply automaticly, as the pirate hasn t agreed to the special terms. - but as long as the engagement only concerns those that agreed to it... you can re-engage and even shield run as much as you like. ( of course you cannot agree on things like using cheats:laugh:)



there have been problems with that in the past. - people practicing pvp, and being ambushed got upset. - but thats how the game works. - poole is most certainly a good place to practice as it is a guard system ( not sure if its playerfaction owned though - so its not clear if the faction has the right to govern over it )



one last thing - personally i consider it bad RP to "kill" others, even if its practice. - its as bad as suiciding into a planet to safe repair costs.
