[QUOTE="Magi_Trelian, post: 2941833, member: 36591"] Babylon has it right. The problem is room disruption. People should be able to continue their RPs around your actions without having to pretend you don't exist. This is why large-scale magics are also not supposed to be in the non-combat rooms: no fireballs, no rain of blood, no swarms of insects. This is also why the tavern is magicked to be "self-repairing" so that people can say that the hole in the wall has closed up, that the door is back on its hinges, and not go by what the barbarian newbie char just posted. That said, there is some minor fighting allowed in the tavern. Whether you take it to the clearing depends if you and your opponent can stop there. A drink thrown in the face, a drawn weapon, a short exchange of non-lethal punches, those are okay. A insults B. B throws a drink in A's face. A punches B and B falls down. B gets up and draws his sword. Now how to get to the clearing if both players agree to take it there? B: "Outside now and I'll teach you a lesson!" A: "I've been waiting for this, come on!" or B: "I won't sully my sword with you! Good day!" and leaves but A smirks and follows or C drags B outside, "Don't fight, he'll kill you!" and again A follows or A turns tail and runs out the doorway and B follows or A ducks under the sword's swing and shoves B, coincidentally out the doorway or A draws his sword and lunges towards B then "stops and backs to the doorway as the golem starts coming around the bar with a heavy mop aimed at the two" and both A & B leave What if A's player or B's player doesn't want to go to the clearing? Then the other person MUST BACK DOWN. You can't escalate the fight to force someone to the clearing if that player doesn't want to go. If there's already been one exchange of blows, stop now.
