[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5897092, member: 6673727"] I think that Systole makes a valid point. Also, while I'm not opposed to the concept of a nonlethal arena, I have to say that I find it to be a dubious means to resolve IC disputes. In fact, I don't think it makes any sense from an IC perspective, since I don't really see the society of Venza as the kind of place that would espouse a (formalized?) battle context as the means to resolving a conflict. "Cultural differences? Fight it out in the arena!" It just really doesn't make sense to me, [I]especially[/I] in such a multicultural context as Venza. Also, and I don't mean to cross the line here, but I have to say that I think you push the line with Fae'shiel, DC. RPing is one thing, but I think it's important not to lose sight of the nature of what we're doing here - a game in which we mutually depend on one another for the efficacy of the shared experience. I personally think it's important to have a balance between the two, and frankly, if one is going to err on one side, I think they should do so on the side of cooperation and respect for everyone else's experience. Again, I don't mean to lecture or anything, but in light of a lot of what I've seen of Fae'shiel, as well as this thread, it was a point I couldn't help but raise. [/QUOTE]
