I've been watching alot of the detractors of this move and I must say. It's rather weak reasoning. there seems to be worries that there will be a decreased amount of RP done due to a lack of set-messages, I shall remind folks here of the Rule Clarification for Rule 3.6.
Code:
- Ideally at least 2 sentences of RP before engaging, with a minimum of 10 seconds before firing from your first RP message. Just RP, and make sure the opposing person has enough time to respond
You are expected to uphold this conduct and those who fail to do so are as such punished in accordance to the rules. So if you are attacked in such a manner and have not had a chance to respond I highly recommend screenshots be taken (timestamps are helpful when doing so) and a sanction report be filed if you are unable to settle it ingame civilly.
The removal of the set-msgs is not an open invitation to spew out '2mordai' 'no? ok die scum'. if you as a pirate don't get your way. It will infact help cut down the cookie-cutter 'RP' that folks use when they encounter somebody and force them to be more creative.
