[QUOTE="candidus_cogitens, post: 338881, member: 770"] I agree with what has been said above, about alignment. Tripping an ally is probably an indication of a chaotic alignment. Alignment issues aside: I actually found the first player's words to be more disturbing than the second player's action. While it is possible to have a little rivalry between characters that is motivated purely by roleplaying interest, I suspect that usually this is not the case. More often, there is a rivalry between the PLAYERS. Players dont play D&D to get their pride injured. And the fact is, players really do identify with the characters they play. So, even if you're insulting the "character" and not the player, the player is going to feel insulted all the same. Infighting may arise between good characters, but it almost always indicates evil PLAYERS. [/QUOTE]
