[QUOTE="DalkonCledwin, post: 5897006, member: 6680145"] First off, in the situation you are referencing (the one that spurred me to create this thread in the first place), the interaction in question was spurred on by a huge amount of culture clash between an Elf, a Human, and apparently a Dwarf. These three races stereotypically have a hard time getting along in even the most ideal situations to begin with, add to the fact that Maui is from a far less than civilized society, and that Fae'shiel is from a society that could rightly be classified as somewhat xenophobic and its a downright recipe for disaster. So yes, it could be argued that one or both of the characters (Maui or Fae'shiel) could be the better 'man' and walk away from the situation, which in a way is what I had Fae'shiel do after her rant in my last in character post. But keep in mind that I don't see Maui or Fae'shiel getting along on a long term basis. But at the same time I am not personally at odds with Jbear. I personally think he is a magnicient role player, and respect him as such, and hope he feels the same way about me. I just felt it important to establish the way in which Fae'shiel views Maui as being somewhat antagonistic towards him. I also recognize that Maui has yet to give Fae'shiel permission to call him by his given name, which based on comments given by both of our characters seems to be something of importance to BOTH of our characters, so I figure it would be better from a role playing perspective if she were to refer to him as something else other than his given name until such permission is given. The problem is that the only name that Fae'shiel can readily apply to someone who behaves the way Maui does is in effect an affectionate term (from her perspective) for a child seeing as how in many ways Fae'shiel views Maui as a child even if he doesn't view himself that way. I do not mean to be offensive with the way that Fae'shiel comes off, but she really has nothing else to call him unless you would prefer she call him 'Human' which could cause all sorts of confusion with Ven in the party... Oh and when I said that Fae'shiel would be willing to knock Maui down a peg if PvP were allowed. I was specifically at the time remembering the previous discussion on this topic where in a non-lethal combat system had been hmm'ed and hawed over. And for reference, limiting a Combat Arena solely for the purpose of allowing High Level Players the opportunity to knock around lower level players who are mouthing off at them is a vast misapplication of the dueling arena technology in my opinion. Especially from a Role Playing Perspective. [/QUOTE]
