Fairplay vs Roleplay

[Athenian]

Telling people to expect to die in the game is kind of moot. I'm using that as a starting point for what I'm saying. As for learning, well I learned a long time ago that only going after thoughtless, unimaginative PvP makes for a pretty poor experience for all concerned.

If someone decides it's "fun" to destroy every ship they encounter using a fleet of their own superpowered ships, and "lol" all the way through it, how can you reconcile that with the experience of the victims , who have no fun at all?

You can't legislate for "fun", but then you can't legislate for good manners, or sportsmanship either. It's not written anywhere that when a player goes down injured in a football match that you put the ball out of play to allow treatment, and then return the ball to the team that had it in possession once play re-starts, but it's an aspect of play that applies in all games: conduct that doesn't bring the game into disrepute.
