Remove duels from the game. (This is not a joke.)

[neko kyouran]

I have an easy answer for that.  If a GM sees anyone fighting near Harnquist, they can zap both parties!

I'd rather prefer a system that makes the role of GM almost not needed at all.  A self governing system so to say.  And only have a GM staff to step in on those rare exceptions to when the system can't handle the situation itself.

No need of getting excessively heavy-handed.

What is or is not excessive is subjective.

[lordraleigh]

Banning/Killing noobs cause they duelled near Harnquist is definitively fair and great way of introducing people to Planeshift.

This would give a great first impression about Planeshift and about what the GM Team works for.

A player will be killed if they duel or trade spam, or if they say the same thing too many times in a row.  Why not kill people for dueling in places they're not allowed?

[lordraleigh]

Surely, next step will be to kill/ban everybody that does not do quests or all the ones who commited the mistake of godmodding.

Why do you say that?

[lordraleigh]

Your ideas are on the same line of "Patriot Acts", although they are on fully different fields, and PS issues being much less critical than the Real World issues. Both are extremely restrictive and authoritarian ideas based on extremely biased assumptions.

Here the question is:

- Heavy-handed enforcement/measures to fight against duellers that are all "bad roleplayers" from your PoV

It will only change the way bad RPers operate.

Out there it is

- Breaking civil liberties to fight against "terrorists"(very subjective term)

Also characters that are nuisances(AKA: Jerks) should not be kept with free reign bothering other people in Yliakum. They disturb public peace even more if not as much as brawlers and violent troublemakers.

[zanzibar]

I don't see it as heavy handed.

[lordraleigh]

If it isn't heavy-handed, then lets extend it to other types of bad characters as well.

If some people exploit too much the absence of guards and laws to bother other characters and their players with mockeries, taunts and other things(sometimes whether they are IC or OOC is debatable), first kill their characters, then ban them from PS as well!

As I added:

The following is a video documentary of what happens next

[zanzibar]

Maybe it's heavy handed.  Maybe it isn't.  What I do know however is that it's necessary - at least until a system is in place to punish people for their actions.

We need Moogie to come back.  She and I disagreed on a lot of things, and I didn't like a lot of the decisions she made as a moderator - but I think she had a good vision for the Planeshift project and this is a time when the project would benefit from having more people with that vision.

[lordraleigh]

People should be killed and banned for roleplaying "evil" characters too?

You avoided very well another point I have made so far, so for the third time I repeat:

Also characters that are nuisances(AKA: Jerks) should not be kept with free reign bothering other people in Yliakum. They disturb public peace even more if not as much as brawlers and violent troublemakers.

It's not necessary, bad roleplayers will definitively find other ways to exploit the game.

Also I see what kind of "vision" this is that you so much insist:

A fairy-tales good world with only good people and...



And for last, I think no duels would be a great way to RP(Or do it OOCly perhaps) a Jerk-type of character and of bothering both characters and players without facing consequences.

I am not blind to what happens in-game.

I will put everything about this suggestion in one single word: hypocrisy

[zanzibar]

You can roleplay an evil character without being an OOC jerk.

[lordraleigh]

You can roleplay an evil character without being an OOC jerk.

I have the funny impression that you want  to use PS as your playground to bother people.

OOC Jerks don't need duelling to bother the community, and I can prove it easily with certain chatlogs from a certain PC, if necessary.

Also you're as always dodging significant parts of the arguments.

I have the funny impression that you'll continue to post flame baits no matter what anyone says to you.
