PVP As RP

[Orgonwukh]

Anything where players are going to go vs other players is open to debate.

Quite often combat in roleplay is character vs character (players playing with each other) while PvP is player vs player.

True, that is basicly what I ment when I said that PVP often takes me out of my RP.

hmm well combat is ofcourse the obvious first thing you look at becuase it is ingame

hmmm other instances where you could go against eachother.

Well I think it could add realism when someone feels they should be able to do something like pickpocketing when the target disagrees. I would see it more of a test to see if someone is capable of doing something based on their skills so you are somewhat forced to play your actual stats and keep down god RP.

Still if you think about pickpocketing it would be kinda strange to get the same results when someone is looking at you compared to when someone is distracted. So how you could make tests like that realistic I wonder. As with open pvp I have to wonder if someone using it inapropriate isn't going to be more of an annoyance then the annoyance of two people disagreeing that it would fix.

well,@XilliX:this is a medieval setting and back then,everyone had to deal with combat in their lives,that's why castles,kngihts,wars,swords. were invented to keep you alive.It sucks but back in those days it was very possible to get killed at anytime

Also,I think Mouli's idea should be looked into as we have an Arena I presume this was why it was built,Duelling was the football of yester-year so kingdoms,(Or guilds most likely in this situation) would send their warriors to show off their power.And the winner's would have been celebrity's (Whereas now Orgunwukh the octarch's champion is barely known in his status)

Perhaps Tournaments and maybe even a "league table" could be set up for inter-guild duelling?

Carua, I have feeling that XilliX, of all people, knows the setting.

[Xillix Queen of Fools]

Actually looking closely at the settings all citizens are REQUIRED to have some training in combat skills.

We can't manifest it very well right now due to the state of AI but Yliakum is supposed to be terribly life threatening, which is part of the reason why the Octarchy rules with an iron fist, and part of why the citizenry tolerate that.

Carua is one of the good monkeys.

[Akkaido Kivikar]

@Carua: Life was not threatening in the way you believe it was. Most medieval people died of famine, disease, plagues... not by the sword.

@XilliX: I look forward to this danger. I shall max all my skills in preparation  no, I won't. But I do look forward to seeing some more danger.

[Mouli]

Ok we were in need of Akido's Knowledge... we didnt know what medieval meant... Thank Menki was very usefull

[Keldrena]

  I was operating on 0 hours of sleep when I posted that. I'll shut up now.

[carua]

I don't tmean this in a flamy-Troll kind of way
@Akaiddo:True not only by the sword,But back then the Claymore was the Nuclear Weapon.Armour was only for decoration and Wars were a constant ,daily Ordeal.
              There are refernces to Proffesional Mercenarys that spent their lives fighting wars for kings.It happened as XilliX said all are required to be trained in combat.The Stone labyrinths are a looming source of danger at all times  and the creatures in the wilds

I say let's all Pwn like there's no tomorrow.But not while crafting eh 

[Under the moon]

Trained in combat skills does not mean to having to beat living things to death. I'll wait for the straw dummies before I RP that law, thank you.

[Akkaido Kivikar]

@Mouli: Uhhh... huh?

@Carua: Wars weren't constant in medieval times. Perhaps in certain periods such as The Hundred Years War, but the majority of medieval peasants had no military training, and never saw war, and if war happened, it was usually somewhere else and only lasted a few years. But this is PS, where danger is everywhere, and as such all people must learn to fight.

Don't look to stereotypes for the truth.

[Garile]

@Moon: And you can't RP only using strawdummies right now? Rping no training is against setting unless perhaps you are playing a cripled person perhaps. Still it does bring up the question where people are expected to train.

I mean if every citizen needs to train shouldn't there be militia traininggrounds or something? I don't really see how the octarchs can really check if people actually do train.

Every neighboorhood their own militiaground and competition between the militia's champions atleast once a year ofcourse.

[Xillix Queen of Fools]

Don't you folks read the in game books?

...

[Keldrena]

Akkaido, everyone has to know how to fight by law. Read the books.

[Garile]

hehe I do Xillix but I doubt I read them all and sure I am able to forget stuff aswell . so what exactly do you mean if I may ask.
