One of those /1 /2 critique threads.

This has already been said but I'll say it also: PvP is roleplay.

If the rules say to not attack without ROLEPLAY and someone only writes 2 lines, how often do you think 2 lines are enough to count as sufficient roleplay? It's not.

Two lines are enough and here is why:
the first line sets the stage and can provide a reason for what you are about to do.
The second line confirms what you are going to do. ex: I'm going to kill ya.
Simple as that. it isn't needed to provide more details than that its optional to say more,
and neither party has to keep talking past that point. and its free to fall apart.

I would say that it is considered good RP to exchange more words the bigger the player group is.

Most likely if someone is a trader they will try to flee which just adds more time typing and more time for someone to get away.
adding more lines doesn't equate to more RP. instead its just a waste of time really at that point

there is a lot of options when it comes to saying you are going to kill somebody.
You can't call that way wrong because its formatted shorter. because adding more than what needs to be said is just not efficient.

what matters is what you are going to do and why. and /1 /2 is fine for situations that it makes sense to use it in
