PvP Rules regarding winners

[Xoria]

in other words - do as you re told, don t ask questions, don t try to switch your own brain on to "understand" what you read. - just do as you re told.

Stop putting words in my mouth. Your interpretation of what I said is completely off base.

nothing is worse than people who ask no questions, that follow some rules to the letter.

I suspect that a majority of the people who have been sanctioned for not following the rules would disagree with this, and wish that they had paid more attention to what the rules were than their own opinions about what they should be. They discovered first hand that there is something worse.

such a situation is undesirable, cause it offers no developements, no critizism - only boredom. by asking about rules, by discussing them you open up new horizons for those that cannot see an issue from more than their own perspective.

All of which is legitimate, and is not the subject of this thread, despite the attempts of many to transform it into such.

You have to learn to crawl before you can learn to walk, and you have to know what the rules actually are, before you can intelligently discuss what they should be, and why they should be that way. Trying to do it backwards, or simultaneously, is what is leading so many people to answer the question wrongly, and is why there are so many sanction reports.

Debating the "why" before you correctly know the "what" is merely vain speculation that benefits no one. It does newcomers to the mod, server, forums, and rules no good whatsoever if they start debating the merits of what they do not first understand. If you get the "what" wrong, you are going to be hopelessly unable to get the "why" correct in any sense that is useful or profitable. How can you even discuss interpretations of the rules regarding gameplay and roleplay if you don't first know what they are? That's like a blind-from-birth person debating the nuances of the color spectrum.

So like I said, learn the "what" of the rules fully before venturing into the "why" or you end up blissfully treading on a minefield and risking great injury to yourself.
