The way you are

[chovynz]

Ok now that things are calmer in the thread, I'll re-iterate.
I think Joe brings up some good points.
However, I strongly disagree that you have to have fair-play all the time.

I still believe that there is a time for Ganking, Just as there is a time for "pulling out" because of too many numbers.
"Ganking" is a legitimate tactic in many games and in RL, it's called "overwhelming force".
Sometimes you send in the armies.
Sometimes you send in surgical strike teams.

I admire Joe, and some other "leaders" for leading the way in pulling out
when they see things are too much for the other side.

But I still stand on the point that you cannot always have things "fair". To expect "fairness", in every situation,
is to set yourself up for disappointment, disillusionment and discouragement. That is not an excuse for
"to each his own", but an acknowledgement that "fair" in this type of Roleplay does not exist.

As "fair" as it gets is everyone following the server rules. Beyond that, are you as an admin going to make more rules about not ganking? Because that is not a realistic view of how things are.

Also, another congruent point to "fairness", is that many people who "gank" will not read this.
They simply do not come on the forums.

Perceived "ganking" can come about through gang tactics, through "unlawful" teamwork. THOSE types of ganking should be encouraged. I fear that you, Joe, are concentrating on one type of "bad" ganking only, at the expense of "good" ganking.
