I have been forced into PvP with a 'lolwutter' before.

I believe I told the story elsewhere briefly, but here in full it serves as a good illustration.

So a fellow comes along in an executioner with a police IFF and no ID.
He is quite well loaded out with class 8/9 guns.

I am in a lonely little Griffin with two Furies and two civillian anti-shield guns.
(and only a mark-I armor upgrade to boot)

I noticed his inconcistency and was about to PM him and tell him that the dealer he bought his ship from stole his ID, when he simply began engaging an LPI player with no prior contact whatsoever.

Well a Patriot Vs an Executioner didn't go so well for the Patriot. In any case, I did PM him and ask him to stop.

He obviously got the message because his next action was to lock weapons on me.

Oh fun.

I PM'd him again. Twice.
No response whatsoever in any form of chat.
What did I do? I let him take my shields down (as per engagement rules) got a screenshot, announced my intentions to half the system ("Kid you had better lay off, you ding my paint job and I *will* flush you out your own airlock... ok thats it. Safeties off.") engaged my shield batteries, and kicked his butt to within an inch of his life.

He ran to Manhattan, and I let him. Since he then logged off, I didn't feel like posting a sanction report.
I figured that would be between him and the LPI player he blew up.

But my point is; it was alot easier, faster, more elegant, and still within rules for me to teach him a hard lesson with my Griffin than to file a report against someone who might not even have ever seen the forums, who infact never said a word in or out of RP but simply shot at people.

The other moral of the story? Your big guns won't always save you from someone who knows how to use a light-fighter's agility to his advantage. :laugh:

In closing, If I see someone who clearly doesn't realize they are OORP, I will PM them some tips and the forums address, and tell them that they can get help, explanations, rules, tips, and find wingmen there.

If someone shoots at me, I don't care what the situation is. *I* will RP the situation as the applicable character would act. If that means running then I will, and if that means blowing the guy to pieces, then I will.
And if for some reason I loose, then despite the other guy's OORPness, then I am still at fault because I consented to the engagement and I will let the next person he runs afoul of file the sanction.
