PvP Rules regarding winners

[Skyelius]

If player A(Navy) beats player B(Terrorist), and the fight was, say, in New York (central house systems), I think "B" but retreat immediately to an outer system, but not come back to the same system (NY) for the 4 hour period while "A" remains there. That way, the in-game RP is viewed as the Navy forcing the Terrorist to retreat, taking him/her further and further away from their territory. The winner has the right to enter (let's say, uhm.. Texas..) and pursue the already shot down player in order to completely secure nearby systems, thus, "B" has the right to risk losing again in Texas and being forced to retreat to an outer system (Hudson/Bering).

voted "no" - we are playing on a RP server... and we do not believe in ghosts. - the defeated player "plays dead" for 4 hours... and so should the winning player treat him.

anything else is pvping for pvpsake. - the looser must avoid the winner anyway - so the only way to get into a fight again is when the winner activly goes after a character that is supposed to be non existant anyway = funny roleplay.

so the looser avoids the winner, the winner avoids the looser, everyone is happy - - - for 4 hours.

Adequate and well said, "B" should not re-enter the system where he/she lost. :)

Also, there are weaknesses in the rule which can make other players abuse PvP, such as the next scenario:

-Players A, B & C are Navy team, while X is Unlawful. Player A defeats X and forces him to retreat to an outer system. After completing the job and having RL issues to attend to, A departs, leaving B and C still on-duty. However, since A was the killer, a foolish X might want to go back and take a second shot at B or C, completely messing up their RP ("Omg, pod-to-new-ship teleportz! Identicalz ship readyz! Letz dance btiches!" >.>). The rule should include the fact that the player who has lost avoids the winning team for that same period of time.. :rolleyes:

Loopholes suck, and I hate 'em as much as Hood, but then again we have to make sure nobody can exploit something imperfect.. *quotes the Borg Queen: "Created by an imperfect being"*. :crazy:
