PVP styles

[Volki]

I have observed her character and roleplayed with her many times. When I say "as far as I know", I don't mean that I'm not sure. The previous times our characters interacted, Prreta did not have much fighting experience. I don't think a few sparring sessions will help her much against a character who has been training many years.

But, no, I would not have bothered to check anyway, as I had just logged on in the middle of the struggle. I would check if we were about to spar or have a fight to the death, but that's not the case. My character was only trying to stop someone from getting hurt.

It seems there is one more item that can enhance the communications, implicit in Aramara's post but deserving to be made explicit : Interpretation of an action taken against you. This will serve to establish that you are envisioning the same thing. Taken together ISTAI seems like a pretty good guideline to follow in any PvP exchange, whether detailed or light.

I still think I'll go for a very light style but what a difference this guideline might make. Thanks to everyone who contributed insightful comments!

Now I just need to work on those gracious IC disengages...

You know, it's always easier when you RP with someone who thinks similarly. I find that with some people, things just happen with ease while with other folks, every little bloody detail has to be explained and debated over ad nauseam.
