[QUOTE="Blue_Kryptonite, post: 2578819, member: 10949"] For me, its just a case of dislike of that kind of conflict. I actually do run my games like a TV series. There's no unplanned PC death, things are described in terms of acts and scenes, we go for bathroom and soda breaks "on the commercial", etc. In this environment, there are occasional PvP moments. Like Dylan Hunt coming to blows with Tyr, Kirk Fighting Ponn-Farr Spock, and other cinematic things that advance our shared plot. So in essence, PvP is fine, if consented to OOC by all involved players as properly advancing the story. Lethal PvP is a no-no, unless its a plot point and the inevitable ressurection is coming, or the player is leaving the group or changing characters. In a more traditional game, as a player, were I to find it allowed, my character sheet would be neatly torn into strips, I would thank my hosts for their hospitality, and depart. Segue to mhacdebhandia: I don't "move my guy" or "script my scenes" even if we are a virtual show. Neither do my players. Rouge Emerelda the Elven Rogue does not do "what his player, thinks he should". At that moment, he is thinking as and for and within the confines of Rouge. And sometimes, we surprise ourselves as our characters, like those of many authors, assume a life of their own beyond their plans. Does this lead to PvP? Yes. Does it fit the guidelines above? Yes. Because these people we briefly become were formed by us to be the kind of people who, like many friends and family, sometimes disagree, sometimes violently. But never lethally. That's not what Heroes with a capital H do, after all. [/QUOTE]
