Simple scenario: My guild members and I go to the Oren Emperor and ask for his support to purge a town of heretics near the border. He gives us his support and soldiers, allowing our guild to gather the necessary resources and men to fight them. A few days go by in RP, our preparations are done and we set out to raid/pillage/destroy their place. According to what my guild members know, the heretics' numbers are far inferior to ours and we are easily able to overwhelm them and take over the town. And that's exactly what we do: we go there to fight. Obviously, we are not going to do a 5 vs 15 in RP default fighting with a cluster**** of emotes and text. We are going to pvp - where's the problem? The fact that we know that we'll most-likely win a 5 vs 15 is just a realistic assumption and not powergaming. Going there with the intent to take someone else's belongings isn't wrong either - it's combat and conflict. Powergaming is what you have when a peasant is OOCly determined to win a RP fight even though he's outnumbered and the other guys are guards. Still though, combat on LotC shouldn't be described as "powergaming" no matter what method is being used to solve said conflict. Going into a fight/conflict situation with the OOC-mindset of wanting to win is wrong and that is the actual core problem. PvP default and RP default are what the players make out of the two options.

If your character presents himself as a villain in public, then you have to consider the outcome. Possible outcomes: get pimpsmacked in RP get wrecked in PvP get ignored -insert other outcomes I'm too lazy to list here- After seeing you and your friend roleplay in Abresi two days ago and pulling the most edgy thing I've witnessed so far in Abresi (I was secretly hoping only Malinor is contaminated), you shouldn't be surprised when being confronted ICly about your character's actions by a group of five heavily armored dudes looking forward to smack you. "Everyone has a right to rp where they please" is something I can agree with. "^ with at least a decent chance of defending themselves" is not the case at all. You don't walk into Krugmar as a Halfling and expect to be treated nicely ICly either. In a world where players interact with each other, chances are you'll receive a harsh pvp-beating at some point and it's only realistic and natural. It is, in fact, part of Roleplay just like everything else.

This players questions have been answered and the situation resolved. Should you wish to have this reopened, please PM me your reasons why it should be so.

OOC ends here, ladies and gentlemen. Cut out your toxic behavior, log in and roleplay but stop trying to bring your OOC arguments here. This is the Varsele notification board, a RP subforum for notifications, so I ask that you all treat it as such.
