Righto.. so now the Rp/PvP dilemmas begin.

[Jinx]

some time ago....

a battle happened between the liberty navy and the rogues ( or something like that ) - they battled at the end of a lane.

two bounty hunters jumped into the battle area without really knowing what came to them - being spilled out right into the brawl.

they were engaged by the unlawfuls.



the admins then agreed that "being present at the scene of a battle is enough notice to be shot at without lengthy roleplay stating the intention" - meaning. when a battle rages - and someone gets close to it... nither the players battling already need to state their intention - and if fairness rules... nor must those that arrived. - at least not lengthy... they should announce to be around and about to engage ( while there - the term "i am engaging the target <name>" should suffice )

mind you - these were diffrent times. - it was 4.84 - the two bounty hunters that complained about being instantly attacked while unaware of the situation were DW ( which had a bad reputation at that time for whatever reasons ) -




to my understanding - roleplay must be the basis of all attacks. - when a char really is roleplayed ... getting into a fight for his life is about the last option he ll take ... or he feels to be in a vast advantage or very desperate.

a player should not be forced to say something utterly silly like "i am not firing my weapons on you nasty dogbreath pirate - so be aware ... in 10 seconds i will open fire, if you don t mind - please reply positivly so i can start firing in 10 seconds"

a player should unmistakenly be aware that he is being fired upon. - when roleplay is taken seriouly - that awareness wouldn t even require a single word in many situations.
