Sunday evening from 7 pm to 7:30 pm PST (10 to 10:30 pm EST) there was a very active combat going on the Garden.
Combat in the non-combat designated rooms is not allowed when it goes beyond the most minimal opening moves of a fight.
In this case, one person started a fight. Another person responded and made references to the clearing. The first person didn't take the hint and continued combat. The other person also kept fighting and even more people joined in.
This isn't how to handle it! Keeping "in character" is not a valid excuse for breaking the CoC!
I'm also disappointed that no one tried to contain it through PMs. Yeah, we can tell that.
If someone is attacking you and they won't move it to the clearing then you have choices:
(1) go to the clearing yourself (if they want to fight you they'll have to follow)
(2) leave to another room (and hope they don't follow)
(3) ignore their actions completely or by making up reasons that nothing hits
You are not allowed to keep fighting in "self-defense" nor to "protect" another char.
If you are attacking someone else and they won't move it to the clearing, you have only one choice: stop attacking them!
Questions?
