Bad blood, competative attitudes, and griefing could spread cuz someone was able to hit you more effectively than you them, thus creating hostilities that are just not needed considering we always have greater looming threats.If it is implimented, it's the player's responsibility to use it wisely, and if not, it could be taken away just as fastI think a fight club arena of sorts was talked about earlier, but seems to have dropped off. The only place where PvP would be allowed so long as they follow the rules of engagement.Just some thoughts, hope they help out somehow.
Yllyrryon - 9/4/2005 9:20 AM Earlier tonight, before Vyris’ “Stolen” quest began, a fellow player, in-character, challenged Ael to a sparring bout. In-character, both of them are friends, and both understood that the bout was to be nothing other than a form of training. The understanding between me and the other player was that the bout was over as soon as Ael or the other reached “Injured” stage. Because of a busy rl, I often play Layo instead of sleep; this is my personal choice and I accept all of the consequences of this. I mention this here, because I was tired, and this contributed to my “tunnel vision” in which I role played the sparring bout, even though I understood the “No-Pvp” Rule. Another player, whose character was standing nearby chastised us out-of-character, and a gm who was joining the quest as a pc immediately was on top of it. So the first thing I saw was the “//.........” from the player and the gm, the latter in shout caps. I stopped as soon as I saw that, realizing the stupid mistake I made. As I said in a tell to the pc/gm, immediately after the incident; I felt completely stupid, because I know the rule already; I felt miserable because I had overlooked a very important rule, “tunnel vision” not withstanding - and I love Layo and hope to be considered a positive contributor to the Layo community. I offered to withdraw from the quest, which is part of a series that asks for participation in all the installments; this was in a tell to the other gm/pc, and not on the gm channel. I only mention this because I was willing, then and there, to face whatever penalties arise from this serious error. And I remain so willing. The “No-PvP” rule means +absolutely+ no attacking another pc under +any+ circumstances whatsoever. This is what I have learned from my mistake. I ask for clemency with regard to any punishment I must face. I have learned a lesson “the hard way”. But I completely accept whatever you all want to do with me on this. Regretfully, Yllyrryon
Fl/\\m3Str!k3 - 9/4/2005 11:15 PMLia and Brisbane did not fight each other, if you are referring to what happened on Leanthar's quest. Bris had GM consent for full PvP, as it matched the circumstances of the situation. To make it clear, it was not even a fight. I hope i was clear, i don't want to create any misunderstandings here.
