Well, I played a couple more hours that night, same character and everything, and didn't once get attacked by any sorceror. I even saw Renment after he got raised, but he kept running every time I would enter the room. Heh.. must be scared.

I've long had a rule of thumb. Anyone that needs to inform me I am a newbie prolly is one themself. I don't know how much more can be said about this. Seems like your average GS3 power tripper-without-much-power.

I'm also wondering why Nietslaf keeps posting these "ominous" messages about Remnant and the exsistance of his spooky sorc brother. Whooweee.

P.S. What is existence? reg

Existence is everywhere, it is all around us, even now in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it, when you go to work, when you go to church, when you pay your taxes.

It is the world, that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

Just so you guys know the log you saw was an editted log. You missed the MANY MANY whispers threatening to REPORT Remnent for poaching and stuff. I'd like to see that Carathand guy post the entire log, then we'll see how everyone reacts.

---

Heh.. of course it's an edited log. There were a load of manticores and thraks running around, and there's no way to avoid that. The only thing I edited out was them attacking myself or Renment and my commands being input. There's nothing wrong about that. And as to the whispers, the only time I whispered to him was when I said I'd report him if he brought in his older sorceror. If your buddy is going to poach, he should be prepared for the consequences.

That being said, please post the real log Nietslaf. It should be funny to hear what Mr. "i'll come kill you with my 132 sorcerer" has to say about all this. reg

Poaching is consent to PvP though.

-=Insomniac=- reg

Thanks reg

If you do get involved in a PvP conflict, there is a chance you will get a warning or maybe even banned if someone reports. A CvC conflict is usually sorted out through the people directly involved, and I doubt there would be a situation for a gm to get involved if it is truly CvC. It's not a good explanation, but it's better than nothin. Phew, all this abbreviation has made me dizzy...

------------------
Man of many opinions reg

Also I feel bad for you for being friends with Remnant. I can look at being a poacher and such as role playing...maybe sad role playing...but still role playing...but when you go out of character, that is just wrong to everyone.

I'd bet a cool grand that GM Andraste would vigorously disagree with Poaching being consent to PvP. Also small detail, but PvP technically is not allowed. You can have CvC roleplayed encounters that result in fisticuffs or combat so to speak but if you are attacking because you as the player are upset or responding to harassment or policing the game for ooc actions then do nothing and report.

Been there, done that. Not fun to be in trouble for something you were in all honesty trying to fix.

I also truly believe many GM's are attracted by the job in the first place to get their jollies off nabbing people and giving out warnings and lockouts. I have personally heard "live" one say so at a gathering. Yep, sick person if you ask me. Must be a small life to lead if you need your "authority fix" in a fantasy setting.

Never did "get a life" mean more when I heard that.

reg

Trying to clear the murky waters in my head. reg

Staff blatant policy inconsistencies top the list. One GM will state black and white one thing and another will state the exact opposite. It seems most in fashion in regards to CvC encounters.

Want my advice? Just avoid any duel/negative roleplay with anyone you don't know or trust. There isn't a single way to prove you had consent with the other party (unless a GM was looking in via Big Brother and getting them to admit that is a whole other rant). Some GM's I am convinced get all pink and giggly when they can slap a warning/lockout on someone who was baited in a conflict. They simply don't care who was right or wrong. They will use some obscure personal test to determine if you are "disruptive" and totally ignore other people there who say it isn't.

Take your chances. At the very least get the other person to acknowledge if they continue to poach your character that you will consider it consent to CvC. If you don't get that from them then leave and report.

Sad you gotta do that sort of thing, but it's the only way to insure you don't get fingered by some whining dingy snert whose sole objective is to disrupt your game time. And even worse are at the receiving end of a pill popping booze guzzling GM. (in humor of course given the signature of someone on these boards) reg

Unconsented CvC can in many instances be concidered abusive. Unconsented PvP is always against policy as it stands. Whether a GM does something about it or not only God knows...

The best differentiation I can give between the two is that PvP means the player of one character against the player of another character. It's not a roleplayed conflict, it's me the player getting pissed off at the player of another character and wanting to bash his face in. That is against policy.

CvC is Kranar the character against another character. It's usually a roleplayed conflict and isn't put in motion due to anger or resent towards an actual real life person.
