I have thought about PvP and stuff for a long tim now. There IS NO real suitable solution. But I think i have come up with a system, to hopefully make everyone happy.
PvP Dueling is fine I like that system, but I think we need to give more incentive for people to duel. For example, someone challenges you, you cower and decline, next day, newspaper article about how your a coward. So your honor is at stake. However I think there should be other forms of PvP, specified below.
Writs What is a writ? A writ is a formal written document; specifically : a legal instrument in epistolary form issued under seal in the name of a monarch or ruler b : an order or mandatory process in writing issued in the name of the sovereign or of a court or judicial officer commanding the person to whom it is directed to perform or refrain from performing an act specified therein.
I propose, we use a writ system, here are a few of the writs.
Writ of Execution Just like it says, this gives the holder the right to kill whomever the writ specifies. Here\'s how it works, I am X. I acquire a Writ of Execution for XX\'s death. From there, it is under my own energy that I find XX and kill him. XX is sitting, having a beer in the tavern, X walks in, hoists his axe, off with X\'s head. To prevent unfair writs, I think all writs must be approved by NPCs?? GMs??Political Parties?? I\'m open to suggestions on this one. As soon as it\'s done, the writ is invalid.
Writ of ApprehensionThis writ is given over to a guild or person, giving the holder the the right to apprehend the specified person. I figure this will work with handcuffs?? Something similar anyways, help with suggestions on this one again. The person is found by the writ holder, apprehended and brought back to the jail/ prison/ guardhouse whereever. I think all writs must be approved by NPCs?? GMs??Political Parties?? I\'m open to suggestions on this one again. As soon as it\'s done, the writ is invalid.
Writ of RepossessionThis entitles the holder to, repossess an item stolen from them. (How this will work with thieving, I shall explain later.) The holder may use any means necessary, as long as the are non-conflictive with the law. As soon as it\'s done, the writ is invalid.
Thieving I personally think thieving should be open, you can pickpocket, pick a lock and ransack a house, whatever. However, I think for 24 (Maybe twelve) hours prior to committing the crime, the owner can hunt you down and openly PvP you right in the streets and tear your gizzard out. But you have no way of knowing who did it, guesswork and looking back at your personal vendettas, should be able to find out who did it. Or maybe some sort of evidence should be left by the thief so you must investigate the crime scene to get a better idea of who did it
. Once the thief has been killed, your items are restored to you. Actually come to think of it, why not identify the thief right off the bat, so once it\'s happened, a buisness card appears near the crime scene with your name on it. The thief should have time to escape the vengeance of the victim, and it should give enough time for the victim to hunt down the thief.
Once again, come up with a suggestion for how the writs are approved.
Thx.
