[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 5739664, member: 29558"] I would vote against PvP in this format for two reasons. First, my previously stated opinion that PvP should involve no XP or GP rewards. Second, in no case (IMO) should PvP involve any lasting harm to the characters involved. Why would one do it, then? For purely role playing reasons, to increase one's fame, etc. I like SK's badge idea for this, and so far his would be the only 'system' I'd give a yes vote to. (Emphasis mine). Is a PvP system with no risk 'realistic'? [B]NO[/B]. Is it 'realistic' to have a first level weanie talking smack to a fifth level hero? [B]NO[/B]. Would such a silly character deserve what he/she got? [B]YES[/B]. However, this would surely lead to the very thing that we originally outlawed PvP to prevent - hard feelings, ongoing grudges between PLAYERS rather than CHARACTERS, and people dropping out of LPF. [B]If there's smack talking going on, ROLE PLAY it.[/B] Sorry, pm, but your belief that many of our players aren't willing or capable of that level of [I]make believe[/I] interaction argues strongly against the notion that they are capable of handling their character getting their butts handed to them - and we don't need the kind of feelings that would foster here. SK's proposal would also serve to take care of one character 'talking smack' to another, in every situation where such would be able to be resolved by deadly arena encounters. In neither case would any physical conflict be allowed without both characters agreeing to the fight. Obviously, I'm only one judge of seven and could very easily be outvoted, but I would definitely vote [B][COLOR="Red"]NO[/COLOR][/B] to any PvP proposal that involves any potential for actual harm to the characters involved, and for any system that involves XP or GP reward for PvP activity (I could possibly see allowing them to accumulate TXP and TGP). I'm actually still on the fence in regards to voting yes for PvP activity in any form. [/QUOTE]
