PvP is the basis for your RP?

Is that what your implying, Zapp?

Explain what you mean by this?

Con:

Able to attack anyone, Which may turn into PvPwhorism if not carefully managed/look after.

So the basis for our entire RP is a con? Wow, imagine that.

Able to attack anyone may be a Con or a Pro, As seen in the eyes of the beholder. For Capwhores, Its loved and cherished. God, People take things so literaly.

I simply meant that if not careful one may become well... PvpWhorish. Happens all the time. Good people go bad, Great RP'ers end up in the Failstorms.

What he is saying is that sometimes shooting is part of RP. When a Bretonia Armed Forces shoots a Molly, it is a part of RP. When a terrorist shoots a trader, it is part of RP. This is just how RP works. Shooting happens at some point. As Zapp said, for some reason, we're conditioned to think that RPing is just paragraphs upon paragraphs of words that, most of the time, mean absolutely nothing.

Strangely, to some, meaningless words upon words are in fact bad RP. For example, a pirate who never shoots anyone has bad RP in my eyes. A Liberty Navy who continually warns a Rogue who is violent but never actually does anything has bad RP. A Hessian who doesn't shoot a Kruger shipper in Omega-7 has bad RP. A terrorist who doesn't shoot a trader who doesn't give the terrorist reason to not has bad RP.

Lets put it in a nice list for you, though:

• If Police let smugglers dock on police bases, they're not fulfilling their RP.
  
• If Navy don't counter large pirate threats, they're not fulfilling their RP.
  
• If pirates don't pirate traders, they're not fulfilling their RP.
  
• If activists don't attack their target corporations, they're not fulfilling their RP
  
• If Bounty Hunters don't hunt bountied pirates, they're not fulfilling their RP.
  
  
• If terrorists don't attack their targets, they're not fulfilling their RP.
  

For any character, no matter who it is, there is a point where you have to stop talking, and shoot. This is simply how RP works. At some point, there is a conflict that arises. This is why our ships have gun slots. PvP is simply a part of character development and RP on the server. It is not "in the failstorm", as you put it.

But, wait:

[8:22:01 PM] Michael (Zelot): wait
[8:22:09 PM] Michael (Zelot): dab agrees with us???
[8:22:14 PM] Rob (Mr.Virus): Yes.

[8:22:19 PM] Michael (Zelot): We must somehow be wrong

I guess we are PvP whores. Nevermind.

EDIT: I guess we're just +1ing now? Shucks, I didn't get the memo quick enough...
