Pvp Default To New Players

[Helvetius 314]

I've been noticing this quite a few times now. Some of the new players have been confused with what pvp default is on this server. For example, yesterday two thieves who were new to the server were creating good roleplay. They were brought to court and just as the decision to cut all but their ring fingers was made, they MCly ran with no roleplay that they were running. Another example is a new person was walking into a tavern and started demanding goods from the people drinking there. He thought after he emoted *Swings his sword* he could pvp the person down. As a final example, there was someone recently who did not know how to initiate pvp when there was a group. A.E. He started counting when only his victim was ready and not the other people around the victim who were going to help the said victim fight the bandit.

 

Now while each one of these players were told and taught after the situation (They didn't understand how PvP works in the server), I do not believe this should be happening as frequently as it is. All of this was within one day with new players and the day before there were similar issues. I believe that how PvP default works should have to be specified in the applicants own words in the Server Application or be more clearly written in the rules (A.E. RP must be given before mcly running such as *Turns to run* at the least). While these players are new and can still be taught, it would be a shame if someone with a short temper and an attitude of "So? Should have read the rules" bans the new player right off the bat.

 

In Short: I believe the Server Applications should require new players to state in their own words how they think PvP Default works and/or lengthen the PvP Default paragraph in the rules section and give examples on the said rule.

I especially agree with the part about asking a few questions regarding PvP default in the server application.

I agree with this completely, PVP default is one of the most important rules on the server that new people need to know. I feel like having them state in their own words will really bolster their understanding of the rule better for when they come onto the server. (that and make them feel less silly when they're schooled by some vets)

Yeah, this seems like a good idea for general mechanics. I hope it's also added in the soon to come 4.0 tutorial area as well.

[Lago 2572]

Can't see the harm in it.

[Maletone Blazebeard (Aqua) 130]

More awareness is always a good thing.

It's a mechanical thing that allows the other parties to initiate PVP, so it's related to PVP default rules.
