How to RP encounter with player of hostile faction

[Lumik]

Hi there, I have a question about RP in encounters with players of hostile or at war factions (for example Mollys - BMM, Rheinland Police - Unioners, Outcasts - Corsairs and others like this). Can I shoot on them instantly? Or I have to at least shout something (e.g. "Burn in hell!" or "Wrong place and wrong time buddy, now you will die!")?

I hope that usually RP rules of fire at encounters ("All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. "Engaging" is not sufficient.") are not apllied to this because I think it is an illogical to chat with my death enemy (and what I can say to him? "Hello my hate enemy, I am going to kill you. Are you ready? Ok, lets start fight..." :-) )

Thanks for your advice.

You have to RP first. You can have a talk to your enemy first and maybe find a solution without aggressions. Remember: This is not a PvP server, this is a RP server. If you are not going to say anything before engaging it's even sanctionable. Exchange some words with the other person and you will see that the other is happy (or not) about your RPing.

Yeah, you have to say something first. Instead of talking to them, just insult them. Much more amusing, and the more imaginative you are, the funnier it is. :P

EDIT: Lennox... No. You do not have to find a peaceful solution. Sometimes a peaceful solution is frankly, OORP. You say PvP and RP as if they are mutually exclusive. They're two sides of the same coin, and they need to be balanced.

Before you attack someone, you have to give an rp reason you are going to do so.
For most enemies, simply being an enemy is enough.
A molly comes across a BAF, nothing more than "your a bloody bretonian tyrant!", or "Die BAF Scum!" is needed, as the simple fact of being BAF is enough for a molly to want to kill you.
For mercs, you say "You have a bounty on your head", or " Time to die, blah balh" and you can collect your bounty (although if your are hired in-game, you have to clearly state who hired you and for what to prevent abuse.)
For some others, like LN shooting Zoners or Junkers, you need a bit more, like an explanation of what law they broke and why it neccesitates the death penalty (usually if they cooperate you should give nothing more than a fine). There it might be required to have five or six lines of rp clearly explaining why you are shooting them.

Of course, yeah. But if you speak hypothetical about IMG and Molly for example then it could be possible to come to a conclusion without force, maybe even without a demand of credits if RP'ed great. If there are [RM] and [LN] then it's for sure a peaceful encounter wouldn't happen, imo. In the factions I played till now I always would have had the possibility to come to a peaceful solution...but that's because I am playing more non-aggressive factions, I think.

This is RP server, so there is 2 possibilities during encounter with your sworn enemy :
1. Start RP, talk a bit, if both of you enjoy the conversation and happy then each back home peacefully
2. Start RP, talk a bit, you or him say something wrong then insulting each other and ended with gunfight, so only one word I can say, "May the best PVP'er win":shok:

Edit : and make sure he shoot you first, there is always a room for self defence

Bow before the prophet of the great god Lolwut. He sayeth unto you, &quot;2millordai&quot;.
Now I handeth down the laws of Lolwut.
1) Shooteth he who rp, for he is the devil.
2) Demandeth credits from starfleas.
3) Sayeth Lol and typeth smileys to end sentence fragments.
4) Screameth, &quot;Ennngggaagggeee&quot; to appeaseth the evil god &quot;Admin&quot;.
5) Attacketh only with capships, and only those who flyeth transports.
These are the laws of the great god Lolwut. Offendeth him at your own risk.

Thomas, would Outcast let Corsair just go away unharmed when he sees him, and vice versa? I think that's seriously OoRP. Just my opinion though..

Right.
Just use /l1 as preset message feeling offended, /l2 for engagement notice and this forums for Q_Q when you die.

All you need really.

Well, it's an unwritten convention on this server that every PvP encounter is preceded by discussion about weather, well being of participants' pets, general politics, mama jokes and other nonsense.
It's generally frowned upon not to offer your enemy a tea and talk for less than 15 minutes before opening fire.

yes. i don't understand why are the corsairs and outcasts depicted as the worst possible level of hatred around :lol:
