Vote On The Way Combat Should Work!

[Danny 2232]

Well, hasn’t this been a fantastic evening! Sit down, clamp down on them tears, and prepare to voice your view on the matter of the system we should use for combat.

 

It’s quite simple, we’ve got three systems here that you can choose from. You decide what you want, vote in the poll - and if you want debate, argue and discuss in the post section. I don’t want any raging, flaming or crying about the decision. If your view on the matter isn’t shared by the majority, then it’s pretty simple - tough, things can’t always go your own way. Myself, the staff and I’m sure almost all of you will be able to accept how things go - regardless of if it’s the same as what you think.

 

PLEASE DON’T just go with your instinct ‘cause that’s what you’ve always wanted - take the time to read the compromise from Gaius. Keep in mind, once this has been voted for, the terms get finalised after - vote for whichever is most appealing, don't not vote as there's one bad thing in it.

 

So, the systems:

NUMERO UNO

Simple RP-default system - by default it’s RP fighting UNLESS: in a war, more than four~ people or if all parties agree otherwise.

 

NUMERO DEUXSH

Simply PVP-default system - by default it’s PVP fighting, unless all parties agree otherwise. Obviously, RP before PVP is still required to a sufficient extent so the other party is aware that PVP is about to commence.

 

NUMERO THREO

RP PvP - Gaius System

A middle-way, Buddhist inspiration, seek the Nirvana. Rules behind this system are:

 

When can RP fall default? (Gaius' System)

 

1. Magic Users have the right to claim RP fight default.

2. Teens (IC) and younger [17 and younger in-game] can claim RP fight default.

3. Capitals [and other settlements?] can decide whether RP or PvP default.

4. Thieves have right to claim RP fight default.

 

When can PvP fall default? (Gaius' System)

Let us define: You MUST make it clear in RP that you are going to attack, by unshealthing your sword.

1. Conflict RP groups, such as militaries and bandits go Rp-Pvp default.

2. VA holders can Rp-PvP default except in the cases of a: You are in a RP default city or b: You are trying to kill a teen or younger.

3. Battles are always PvP.

 

Obviously, RP before PVP is still required to a sufficient extent so the other party is aware that PVP is about to commence.

Here’s a livestream discussing a few other ideas, which we aren’t actually including in the poll, but just for you to think about:

 

In the meantime, listen to some Bobby McFerrin:

PvP Default

 

Gaius' system is very abuseable, RP default hasn't worked.

 

This server's prime was without a doubt in Aegis. Why did we fix something that doesn't need fixing? Why did we change to RP default? RP default makes players feel more entitled than PvP default, players enjoyed themselves arguably much more in PvP default. There is a lot less arguing involved in PvP default, RP just rips people apart and ruins any chances at friendship and cooperative roleplay.

 

Why did we change something that didn't need fixing?

[ARCHITECUS 4788]

Pvp Default

 

Gaius' system will detract from other votes    remove gaiusbias

[Cracker 4570]

Gaius System will split votes with default PvP, just a heads up.

[Rig 17591]

Rp default - we need to keep it somewhat rp and less rpg.

[Dyn 149]

RP > PVP

[Danny 2232]

Good to see we've taken the time to read Gaius' suggestion, and not just voted with our instinct. #sarcasm

[Aelu / Rel (Combustionary) 1540]

RP Default. Gaius' system is a decent compromise.

[ARCHITECUS 4788]

Good to see we've taken the time to read Gaius' suggestion, and not just voted with our instinct. #sarcasm

 

Notice two people mentioned it. Those people voted for Pvp

 

Pvp supporters are smarter, more attractive people

Can we get a follow up poll with the two highest options? Gaius' poll in my mind will pull from RP default.

[Urahra 5781]

I support the Aegis system. 

 

PvP, but only with sufficient RP beforehand.

[Org_The_Robo 288]

Default RP. When your char has a lot of training, yet you get owned by a noob in pvp. Not the most fun thing ever.

[Danny 2232]

Can we get a follow up poll with the two highest options? Gaius' poll in my mind will pull from RP default.

 

It pulls from them both as it's a compromise in the middle, if anything, more-so from PVP.

[Tythus 1307]

Can we get a follow up poll with the two highest options? Gaius' poll in my mind will pull from RP default.

You could argue the same with PVP default

[CommunistSpy 441]

I would prefer Gaius' system, because any child or halfling wouldn't be able to beat an orc or combat-trained soldier in RP, but they could in PvP.
